What's your favorite Beer?

Didn’t get a picture, but my friend works runs sourcing and roasting for my favorite coffee roaster in Denver. He partnered with an Odell’s outpost south of Sloans Lake in Denver. It’s a beautiful, brand new space with a great rooftop. They thought of everything in how they designed it. The brewmaster there is basically able to do what she wants and they serve pizza and wings and stuff like that. They source beer from Odell’s more industrial brewery but also brew some of their own. The beer they partnered on:
I gotta say, I’ve never had anything like it. It comes out amber and then the nose hits you with coffee. Sounds weird but somehow it really works. I think it helps that they pair an Ethiopian bean having brighter notes with a sour. Super unusual but a terrific beer. Really proud of him and love his coffee too.
I also sampled a beer that was a hazy IPA with a variety of chiles. That too was superb. Really excellent citric and pine resin nose, and then a crazy finish. Somehow the peppers were barely discernible as peppers on the finish the way they blended with the hops and malt, but they did create an unusual deliciousness.
Both beers not at all what you would guess from the description.

Didn’t have a glass big enough for this one. 19.2 oz can.

@Seul , I’ll be in Brazil for 8 days and want to try some of their beers while there. I remember you posting about some of them. Any recommendations you’d be willing to make to help me avoid blind-buying in a liquor store?
Thank you!! -
One of the better IPAs I’ve had recently.
