Just found a secret stash of these, and am now curling up into a nice, fuzzy warm ball

Re: Favorite Beer?
FYI for anyone stopping in Estes Park before/after Longs or any other climb in RMNP:
Poppy's Pizza now has expanded to 15 taps. They only get one keg of Pliny the Elder per month so call ahead to see if it is in if that is a game-changer.

Re: Favorite Beer?
It's not an absolute favorite, but Sixpoint Brewery in Brooklyn has been turning out some incredible beer. Resin is a great IIPA, Diesel is a great stout, Three Beans is a great coffee porter, Crisp is a great Pilsener, and I've still got Brownstone to try! Their stuff is pretty easy to find in the Tristate area, for anyone unlucky enough to be here.

Re: Favorite Beer?
I guess this is my weekend to check out some different stouts....
SKA Vinifera Stout..... hard to say for sure after just one, but this might be a new favorite stout for me. Interestingly, it is brewed with malbec grapejuice. I am not into fruity beers but there is not much fruitiness going on with this. Seasonal as I understand it and it comes in cans. If I ever do a winter trip to the backcountry again this shall be at the top of my list!

Grand Teton's winter seasonal - Coming Home Winter Warmer - is simply fantastic. I be I've had a dozen of them over the past 4 months or so.

Doesn't get a whole lot better than the below although the Pliny was easily the class of the field.

Re: Favorite Beer?
IPA, a beer style that demands freshness more than almost any other, is a major focus in this thread. In keeping with that, a reminder that the season of Pliny the Younger is nearly upon us. I honestly haven't had enough super fresh huge IPAs to really say where PtY falls, but I do know that it is good and that you can be sure that it's fresh.

Re: Favorite Beer?
Enjoying this Bomber right now
AMAZING. So much less bubbly zing then some competitors I have had recently (of similar abv), reminiscent of a more classic stout, pours strong with a cascade like nitro milk or guiness, but add special omgness.

Re: Favorite Beer?
I got this ride from Sierra Nevada. I was made in collaboration with some Monk dudes. 10.2. Solid.. not sure if it is a "favorite" but the dude on the bottle reminded me of Wildbo.....

As Wooderson and Presto pointed out a couple pages ago - its a reality. Backpacking just got a whole lot more interesting.
