Favorite Colorado IPAs?

Also, just to touch back on a tried-and-true favorite for me, I had the latest batches of Superfan and n00b the other night and both were fantastic. I think the newest Superfan is my favorite batch yet (outside of DDH and of course).

 

Do like knee deep a lot. Been to the brewery a few times.. Also really enjoyed Windows up from flash/alpine

 

I grabbed a sixer today and will cosign this for sure. After being a staple in my fridge for years when i moved here, Dry Dock has been dead to me for a few years(basically since Bill left). I'm hoping this is a sign of things to come.

 

Do they can date yet? Can't understand breweries that still don't date there products especially IPAs

 

Yeah, besides the stout series, that's all that I've purchased in a long time.

 

Is this is stores already? If I get a 6 pack now least I know it will be fresh

 

My favorite is the London Ale Yeast version they had on tap once.

 

I grabbed it at Superior Liquor. They were adding the barcode as I purchased.

 

Sitting on my porch drinking Noob and DD IPA. Life is good

 

There is numbers stamped on the bottom of the can but I cant make out what they are supposed to mean. I knew it was fresh but in coming months those numbers need to mean something or I'll pass for something i know is fresh.

Dry Dock is an odd bird. They have been one of the best and one of the worst breweries in the state in a short number of years. Hoping they get back to the former.

 

Happy anniversary Comrade!

 

I think you gotta give them time after losing David

 

Galaxy DDH Juicy Bits is the message and the money, that is all.

 

London 3 is the hottness. Underpitch those little shits and ferment a bit warm and those peach esters take your beer to another level.

 

If you were to rank the top 3 hoppy breweries in denver what would be your recs? I've seen a lot of Comrade

 

Station 26 has gotta be right up there, along with Cannonball Creek

 

Comrade, Station 26 and Cannonball. As for canned offerings Melvin, La Cumbre and Dry Dock. Yep I said Dry Dock, this new ipa is fanfuckingtastic. I cant believe how good it is.

Note: I've heard good things about Cannonball Creek IPAs but I very rarely get out to Golden so can't comment on them. I'd put Station 26 up there but the 4 breweries that I mentioned above are better imo. Dry Dock to me isn't even on the hoppy radar as far as best in CO are considered. I will say that I literally just picked up a 6 pack of their new IPA 20 mins ago that a handful of people have been raving about on here so we'll see what all the "hype" is about. Even if it is that good I still wouldn't put DD on the list. Even though CO has kind of adopted Melvin and La Cumbre as their own, they're technically not CO breweries so I won't add them to the list. Although if I did, Melvin would definitely be on there but not La Cumbre. Just my .02.

Edit:
without having to retype my entire response, I just noticed you said top 3 in Denver and not CO. That's a little easier...

No this is great! I know what to look for on tap as well at bars if I don't go to the breweries.
