Oak-aged Colorado beers

Boulder used to do an Irish red ale that was oak aged (maybe it was twisted pine?). I'm not sure if it still lives. New Belgium has an oak spiral, which I've never had.

There are several Innis and Gunn beers out there. Non-stouts makes it rough, otherwise the oak aged yetis are the kings.

 

Rumble wasn't brewed this year The fact that White Oak was delayed hasn't helped. That beer was at least a pretty close approximation.
NB's Oakspire tastes more like oak than Bourbon, so I really like that one. Vanilla OA Yeti has so little vanilla that it might as well just be normal 'ol OA Yeti to me.
DFH Burton Baton and Palo Santo scratch the itch. Tommyknocker Legend, too.

Other than than those, I'd also be very curious.

 

Yeah, the Vanilla Oak Aged Yeti was very good and drinkable but the vanilla was sure hard to pull out.

 

Yeah, I really don't understand why they released that one as-is. It's absolutely a good beer, but they're wasting money on whatever vanilla they added and disappointing people at the same time. Just bring back normal OA Yeti as a seasonal and be done with it.

 

Cerebral's foeder lagers are pretty good.

 

Bierstadt has a second Saturday Fässer. It's not every month, but it's a wood keg, filled out of the lagering tank and gravity poured.

 

Not quite the same, but still pretty awesome. I've done some head to heads with that serving style in Munich and they definitely taste different.

 

They are awesome. If I lived closer I would be there frequently.

 

I think Three Barrel makes some oak aged beers. Trucha Grande?
And Crooked Stave has some wild beers I wouldn't call "sour"
Epic has some (Smoked and Oaked)

 

Want to also mention Purpose Brewing in Fort Collins. Almost all of it is taproom only, but they're doing some very interesting things up there

 

It's been a long time since I have noticed anything of the ilk but Odell used to do a ton of oak aged stuff, including their Woodcut Series.

 

Yeah, Woody Pils is out right now. It's unlike just about any beer I can think of. I guess it's closest to Russian River's wine barrel sours...only it's more lightly tart than actually sour.
Their Anniversary beer this year is also kinda similar, although it's an export stout base rather than a pils. Barrel Man Beer is probably long gone, though. It was from a couple years ago.

Forgot about Smoked and Oaked. I really like that one! I'd never even heard of Three Barrel...then I looked and saw where they are. I still need to make it down that way one of these days. I used to visit the western and SW portions of CO pretty often, but have never been in that south central region. Lots of hidden gems down there, but everything is pretty spread out.

 

Totally off topic, but burnt toast from 3 barrel may be the best brown in the state.
