My friend E came to visit from so cal. He came cause there was a beer festival and he likes small local breweries! He also enjoys our company! I do miss seeing him and his family more often, but what can ya do!
Here are my favs:
Pitchers Brewery – 808 Wheat
Here are my oks:
San Luis Valley Brewing Company – Hefe Suave (needed a lemon)
Left Hand Brewing Company – Juju Ginger
Ska Brewing Company – Pinstripe Red Ale
Boulder Beer Company – Sweaty Betty Blonde Wheat Beer
Here are my don’t likes:
Anheuser Bush – Spring Heat Spice Wheat
Bull and Bush Brewery – Hail Brau Hefewizen
Didn’t get to try cause the damn college kids all woke up and were annoying and in the way:
Ft Collings Brewery – Major Tom’s Pomegranate Wheat
Tommy Knocker Brewery – Jack Whacker Wheat Ale
Wynkoop Brewing Co – Wixa Weiss
Lessons Learned:
Bring a camel back – it gets hot and the free water is chlorinated
Bring a coozie – to keep your cup a smidge cool and all the overflow stickies off your hand
Get there early – so you don’t have to fight the dang college kids
Bring snacks – don’t stop for lunch – stop for dinner when you are done!
Eat a big breakfast!
All in all it was a fun time! It was great to have such a selection of brews to try! Enough that I was pleased with the wheat/hefe selection and my friend E was pleased with the IPA selection!
It was quite hot! But the sunblock held!
Definitely would go again!
