I stopped in at Left Hand Brewing Company in Longmont, Colorado and at the recommendation of the tap room bartender tried the Fade to Black Stout. This is a serious, deep, rich, complex stout. Many flavors converge to create a strong impact on your palate. I was unprepared for the depth of this beer. And it is strong as well. A great beer to end the evening.
I stopped in at Zwei Brewing in Fort Collins, Colorado. It’s a little bit of Germany in Fort Collins. I greatly enjoyed their Helles Lager. Made me feel like I was in Germany. Hopefully. I’ll make it back there some day. Helles is clean, crisp and drinkable. Great beer and well worth the stop.
I stopped in at Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins, Colorado for a beer. The tap room bartender let me know that 90 Shilling Ale was their flagship and that is what I tried. It is delicious and I’ll be looking for this when I get home. 90 Shilling is an Amber Ale in the Scottish style. It’s malty with a slight hop bitterness. Well worth the drive from Denver!
I stopped in at The Post Brewing Company in Lafayette, Colorado for dinner and a beer. Their Hot Chicken (spicy fried chicken) is AWESOME! I paired this with Townie Ale, a delicious malty and hoppy blend. I recommend this chicken and beer pairing for everyone!
I stopped in at 4 Noses Brewing Company in Broomfield, Colorado with business associated to try some beer. Their Peachopotamus was delicious, very fruity and sweet, lots of peach in this one. Their Raspberry Blonde was both sweet and tart with a strong raspberry flavor. For fruity beers these were both outstanding!
