    Hey Denver BAs, I am coming back for a visit to Denver after moving away to the Chicago area in the beginning of December. While I'm visiting, I'm looking to get a few of the CO distro beers that I missed out on...but the problem is I don't really know a whole lot on what I missed out on (that's worth seeking out). I do know about Optunia, Rufus, Bligh's, but that's about it. So I'm looking for suggestions on things to look out for (or to even seek out in trades). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

    I've seen Bligh's and Rufus recently, but I'm pretty sure Opuntia is all sold out in bottle shops.

    Thanks. Looks like I'll have to trade for Opuntia.

    Liquid Brain and CBC, too. CBC is potentially still around at Grapevine (they snuck that one out) and Liquid Brain probably isn't too tough of a trade to make around town.

    Do you get Prairie in Illinois? I know you can in Iowa but not sure if it makes it out to Chicago.

    Tons left (of CBC), from what I could see when I was there yesterday.

    CBC is the easy answer then. It's (making up random comparative number for different styles) 90% as good as Liquid Brain and nobody seems to know about it.

    Agreed, it's a really, really good beer. Need to remember to pick up a few more bottles. The price is right, as well.

    I just drank one this past weekend.
    I liked it a bit more fresh. Not that it's old or anything. I'm just saying, so far, even the little bit of aging isn't doing it any favors.
    Get it ... but get it quick and drink it.

    I'll only bring stuff if I have trades lined up, but I've got these available to bring out:

    Serendipity
    Belgian Red
    Moon man x2
    PW BA The Murderous
    PW BA The Jones Dog
    NG Coffee Stout x3
    Old Curmudgeon x2
    Furious x2
    Blakkr x2 (Surly release)
    Cherry Truffle Abduction
    Terrapin Cinna Roll'd WnB
    Pt5 x2
    CW BBS x2
    CW BBBW x2
    Other NG/PW Beers upon request
    Other IL/WI distro'd beers upon request
    I've got about 80 other bottles in the cellar but most are CO release beers that I moved here with

    Shoot me a message, Scott, if you want any of those (or anyone else for that matter).

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys! Looks like I missed out on quite a bit in the last 6 months. Look forward to hitting up all the usual spots next week. Cheers!
