Yes we do. I think someone tried to infiltrate this thread with grape juice last year!!! ](*,) :lol:

I just tried these last night - pretty impressed. And yeah, it was nice to have a few and not feel like s**t this morning.

Also looking forward to Odell adding the Loose Leaf to their standard year-round selection of six-pack brews. Not sure how it ranks on the IBU scale, but it's Odell's so there's really no way it sucks.
It's actually pretty bad. Then again, so is their 90-Shilling.

Their straight Odell's IPA is good stuff, though.

I prefer GD's Lasso if I'm going for a tasty lower-alc brew.

Anything from Elevation in Poncha Springs really, and it's my favorite excuse to hike around Salida.

Our local High Plains Tap House has been carrying several Elevation offerings as of late...

I have neglected this link for a while, even though I have tried some great great beers recently. As far as giving props to a new place I just tried for the first time, I went to Broken Compass in Breckenridge and was really impressed. I had a flight and loved them all, even their chili beer was good and I'm not a huge fan of that flavor of beer.

I really enjoy Old Chub Nitro. Seems to be better than the standard version of Old Chub.

Besides that, I really dig the Upslope Pale Ale.

Alright! I'll drink to that! An Enjoy By as well. Glad it's not a stout like the emoticon says!

Hmmmmmm,

For those of you 40 and something older folks (sounds reminiscent of a recent thread), what was your favorite college age beer (or where ever the heck you were in the 80s or 90s before all the craft beers):

Sounds really pathetic now, but back in the day:

1) Keystone Light
2) Coors (yes the gold can "banquet beer")
3) Old Milwaukee
