This was the result when we woke up the next morning. Sorry bastards broke into my fire engine and our chase truck and stole about $15grand worth of gear. Didn’t stop us, though. We pressed on like Lee’s nails and continued with our mission. One day to resupply in Ft Collins and one day to fix our trucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Refuge 6,671 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Terrible pic of a beautiful beer. Odell Mango Tree Shaker Imperial IPA. Just freaking delicious. @ShocksMyBrain I’m in Colorado Springs until next week. Anything you recommend I keep an eye out for? Actually, I’ll take recs from anyone. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m the least qualified to give recs in this thread probably but Great Divide Yeti imperial stout is one of my all time faves and they don’t ship East anymore I don’t think (at least I can’t find it). Sad winters without Yeti these days..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree Shaker is awesome, I’ve only ever had the peach version. First time I had it, was when they only had it on their little experimental pilot system at the brewery. I love pretty much everything Odell does. Their flagship IPA is a gold standard straight up American IPA. Be on the look out for anything from Weldwerks(they may have just opened a taproom in the Springs), Wiley Roots, Outer Range, 4 Noses, New Image, Something Brewing, Funkwerks for their eclectic saisons and sours. I don’t know much about the brewery/taproom scene in Colorado Springs, but Untappd or Beer Advocate would be good resources. There’s probably quite a few to visit. If you wind up in Fort Collins, let me know. Edited August 21, 2020 by ShocksMyBrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CO gets distro from CA and OR that a lot of SE states don't get, so you can get some pretty magic stuff from the left coast in addition to the local freshies. Not sure if you've ever had any of the Firestone Walker anniversary beers, but that is a bucket list beer for me. I've only had two of them and I have dreams about them. And Parabola... ugh... so good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Parabola... ugh... so good. FW is doing like 350ml bottles now of their special releases. I’m sure that helps spread the live around, but taking a bomber of Parabola to the dome was nice. I’ll also add to grab up Toppling Goliath Pseudo Sue or King Sue. They’re not based in Colorado, but do distribute there. I forgot to say to pick up something from Casey Brewing and Blending(they’re in Colorado), they make fantastic wild ales. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting TG's Sue beers in Savannah now so if anyone needs, we can make it happen. I actually prefer Pseudo.

AUSwim 54 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 If you ever have a layover in Baltimore the Guinness brewery is just down the road from BWI airport and well worth the trip. They have a bigger selection than you'd think with some very interesting beers, brewed on site. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,671 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Man is this beer tasty. Not much malt backbone for a double, but that’s fine. Super citrusy without being over powering. No hop belch. Nice grapefruit rind bite in there too. Thanks for the rec @ShocksMyBrain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even then, we weren’t getting this sort of stuff. Only until Covid happened, were we allowed access to their usually taproom only stuff. They’re probably my favorite brewery in state, followed closely by Bearded Iris. Where are you located? Perhaps there’s a brewery nearby with similar hype brews.
