What's your favorite Beer?

[canoeclub]

Guys, all this talk of dark beer has piqued my interest. I'm remembering a can I randomly selected for a pick 6 at a big liquor store in Boulder. This isn't my photo, but wow, this is one of the few beers that have stood out to me, enough to remember the packaging to find a year or two later. Anyone familiar?

Never heard of that one but it looks good. The sad truth is there are a gazillion craft breweries in the US and I’m assuming the smaller ones only have regional distribution or no distro at all.

You may find yourself surprised.

In this case, CO, OH, KY, and MI can enjoy these beers.

One of our local breweries (Crooked Stave) does a lot of craft distribution. Wonder how frequently things like that occur–it seems state blue laws would stymie that in many cases.

Yeah, that nowhere in particular does one-off brews. Pretty sure thats their thing, never make the same beer 2x, but maybe that changed. I've had a few of them, some have been great, some were worth trying.

30s yesterday, 70s today - decided to try this out:

Even the wife (who hates beer) said it was good!

Bell’s Hopslam. A perennial favorite hefty double Ipa. Super well balanced, smooth, and subtly boozy. Great beer if you can find it!

They got the balance between the bitterness and the molasses bang on.

Good Dutch porter. This brewery is gonna blow up this year me thinks… Also got their Barrel Blend V...

Not the best beer to follow-up a coffee porter but cool nonetheless…

I get a lot of hops at the finish on this one.

Haha, surprised you get Surly in your neck of the woods

We just started getting distribution. Mostly Darkness and Todd the Axe Man.

Funny they’re still selling Todd the Axe Man — he quit there in 2016 and is now the brewer for 3 Floyds (I think). He helped build Surly but it sounds like there was a falling out of some sort. His wife was fired or some such thing and then Todd left shortly after

I’ve always wanted to go to Dark Lord Day. Have you been?

No. I don’t go to any beer festivities whatsoever due to time constraints and juggling parenting duties. Does Dark Lord Day have a metal theme?
