Favorite Colorado IPAs?

I'm really waiting for Powder Keg to...




















BLOW UP...






I'll see myself out.

 

Just read what they have on tap, Vietnamese Brunch sounds awesome, looks like I'll be making a much needed trip up on Friday!

 

While La Cumbre is not Colorado, they were mentioned here a few times. This: http://nmdarksidebrewcrew.com/2015/...plans-to-slow-down-in-2016-after-a-busy-2015/
“It looks like the end of 2015 will see us open up (distribution in) the vast majority of Colorado."

 

I guess my Albuquerque trip won't be as cool, now.

 

Elevated is a great IPA. But I think my favorite beer from them is Red Ryeot. I also tried Malplais Stout and Project Dank.

 

For those of you who are interested, the 3.0 recipe of Codename: Superfan (let's call 3.0 "Release Candidate 1") hit the market in cans this week. We liked some aspects of 1.0 better, and other aspects of 2.0 better. For 3.0, we targeted the best of what we liked from both batches. We added some of the Citra back to the dry hop. It's our favorite yet. Let us know what you think.

 

Did this one go to Argonaut? If not I'll have the old lady stop at Mile High

 

It should be delivered to Argonaut tomorrow.

 

Nice!!! Drinking a 2.0 right now and I miss the Citra, but found it a better representation of the NE style. Excited for 3.0 and I REALLY hope you keep the barcode design.

 

Will it be on tap at the brewery?

 

When I was there last week, they still had 1.0 on tap and were going to be tapping 2.0 soon.

Guessing it'll be a bit before 3.0 goes on tap there so I'll be looking for cans this week.

 

Our batches for canning and the tap room still come off the same system, but at slightly different schedules. We brew 10 BBL at a time for the tap room and a 20 BBL double batch for canning. The 10 BBL batches last longer in the tap room than a batch for distribution (they are gone from the brewery within a week of canning currently). As a result, the tap room will never see a full batch of Codename: Superfan 2.0. We do pull kegs at the beginning/end of the canning run, so there was a small amount of 2.0 allocated for the tap room. We have a tiny bit (2 sixtels) left to get through in the tap room, then 3.0 will go on. The next 10 BBL batch for the tap room will be the recipe (and haze-inducing process) we used for 3.0.

 

Superfan 3.0 is bomb. Love it.

Not CO (yet?), but Joseph James Citra Rye is really tasty. Heard through the grapevine that they are looking to get a production facility in the southwest of the state. Not sure how true that is.

 

Joseph James has been here for a week or two. Not to all of the stores yet though.

 

Yeah, I worded that terribly. They're in distro in CO, but I heard they were also interested in getting a brewery built in the state. So then it would be a CO IPA, relevant to this thread. Apologies for my dumb.

 

I really enjoyed the Citra Rye when I was in Vegas. Is this available in Denver?

 

Multiple cases of Codename 3.0 at Argonaut. It's in the back so ask. Can't wait to try this.

 

Yes, at some places. I haven't found it yet, but I know others that have.

 

Canning Dates? I hope its fresh

 

I talked with the rep. They are very fresh, though I don't have dates.
