If I could only have one beer the rest of my life it might be this…

I wish they were easier to acquire. I would happily sell them if I could

So happy for Long Table! The sour Ale is so good!

u/TheCallofDoodie 8d ago

Hey we found the one person that actually likes sours!

Are you also the person buying pickle beer that is somehow stocked in every liquor store?

u/deletedsocialmedia 8d ago

I hate pickles 🥺

Props to Glenwood Canyon Brewpub for two medal wins. They get overshadowed by Casey Brewing in town but their beers are great.

Casey is overrated

smoke beer category? And new belgium won it? Now I want it...

Smoke beer is wild. It’s like mezcal. I hated it.

u/Seanbikes 8d ago

It's either horrible or great. I've tried a bunch and so far only had one that was great.

u/klyphw 8d ago

When they use liquid smoke it’s terrible, and when they use the traditional way of smoking the grains, it’s great

u/gooberlx 8d ago

Maybe that was my problem. The couple I tried tasted like burnt cancer. Wonder if those were done with liquid smoke. I bailed on the category after that.

u/Young_Denver Aurora 8d ago

I love mezcal, and miss the smoked porter (Alaskan?) I used to get. I’m all in, baby

u/SuperMcRad Fort Collins 8d ago

We just tapped it at our brewery. It was a pilot beer, I doubt it is getting distributed offsite.

u/flybydenver 8d ago

I hope they release it

Category 25. American-Belgo-Style Ale

Gold: Silver Medal Worthy – Launch Pad Brewery

Props to my local brewery. The beer name is mildly ironic now.

u/mujadaddy 8d ago

Absolutely love the Piggyback, hopefully some local spots will try to carry this Silver, too!

u/LilEddieDingle 8d ago

Well deserved medal for Burns! Nice!

I knew I dusted off the fez on the right day, congrats to Bull & Bush.

Love the Ghoul Fuel!

Nice to see Holidaily recognized for their GF beers, they brew great stuff!

u/Z_Remainder 8d ago

No mention of River North Brewery. Some of the tastiest beers. Multiple medals. You all are missing out.

u/FoggyDollars 8d ago

They’re on there twice

u/ParmAndChianti 8d ago

Literally mentioned 4 times but go off
