Let me know if you're ever in Denver but NOT also in Colorado.  Would love to know how you pulled that off….

Let me know when the Rockies play at any of those also-rans.  Would love to catch the game!

All of a sudden, country redneck convenience stores are stocking up on good beers, out under the moonshine of where I live.

I found this tonight,  lurking among the Natty Ice and Mickey's Big Mouth.

Good.  10% good.  A beer is a beer, until it gets you drunk.  Then, it becomes something special.

Any country redneck stores on the Zwanze trail?

Does this go in the beer thread or the 2020 thread?

Wynkoop is a Bar, Restaurant, Brewery

More Happy Hours

Monday thru Friday 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
•Drinks$3.50 select drafts beers
•Drinks$1 off well drinks, glasses of house wine, beers, well liquors

do these sell $5 beers at any IMP establishment?

In the DMV it's hard to pay that little for a pint (happy hour doesn't count) was my point

in the vid there is a part where it says…instead of paying $5 for a beer, donate to my campaign

did you get any of the Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout ?
yes, it comes in two packs because because ball jokes are hilarious

I can definitely say we won't be going to Wynkoop. And I read they stopped distributing in 2016. Though maybe they do cans to go at the brewpub. Their beer appears to be as uninspiring as their founders campaign.

WTOP is having a 'best of'
Asiln is currently in 3rd place
https://wtop.com/living/2019/07/wtop-top-10-best-brewery-3/
voting ends today

2 silos is in first…really can't trust the people :)


Also made it to Aslin this Sunday
great space…but really could use an outdoor deck or something
beers were tasty (although didn't really like Dark as Sin - dark lager)
food looked good, merch was cool and plentiful
Video games and skee ball were a nice touch
I agree with space's wife…they really hired some mediocre talent to pour the beer…not essential, but couldn't hurt
Anyone know if they are doing brewery tours?

That bottle list was a little absurd…avg price was in the $70 range!

there were at least 10 children under the age of 6 months old

when i read this the other day, i was shocked that "hazy" or "juicy" wasn't on someone's shit-list.  some folks just hate those words, especially "juicy", while others hate the NEIPA style.
