beer connoisseurs, take note!

I'm not much of an IPA person, I'm more interested in fruit beers!! For our wedding I made a blackberry beer, it was delicious! As far as recipes and such I just seach good ole' google lol.

I like fruit beers a lot too... I just don't like them too sweet. When I start thinking about the beers with "fruit juice" it gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Have you tried cb&potts apricot? It is quite similar to the pyramid apricot. Not too sweet and pretty light. I think Saturdays are 5 dollar growlers.

I have tried it lol!! Its pretty good. We also made a dessert wine for our wedding as well lol. I tend to like sweeter things but also like the occasionall dark beer

I think some of the best beer in Fort Collins is at Cooper Smiths. Their Punjabi Pale Ale and Mountain Ave Wheat are tasty. After growing up in Oregon however I am partial to Widmer, Deschutes Brewery, and Full Sale. Oregon has some fine fine beer.

Im drinking some dales pale ale for the first time and man its awesome best beer i ever had that came from a can i was a little sketchy buying it for that reason i never had a micro brew from a can. I guess ill have to try mommas little pils next

 

[hurrafreak]

I recently tried phat tire from a can and I thought it was gross!!! Totally different taste lol, you're right to be weary.

 

[Mantid]

In my opinion, its all about how the beer hits your tongue. Drinking from a can tastes different than drinking from a bottle or glass. I tend to poor my beers into a glass when I have beer from a can, not that I wont drink from a can, Im not that picky. Glasses give off more of an aroma and I like that, especially when drinking a hoppy beer. But I would agree with you Juan, it did taste different from a can after so many years of drinking if from a glass or bottle. It seem to have more of a roasty flavor out of the can?!

 

[Dan s mixed reef]

Im sure if dales was in a bottle it would taste different i guess their just trying to be different by selling it in cans its good beer def. would buy it again. I just pour my beers into a glass also so it still taste great some beers taste better out of a glass anyway

 

[Mantid]

I couldn't imagine any of Oscar Blues beer being in anything else than a can or glass.

Have you guys ever been to crabtree i used to go there for lunch when we were working in that part of greely they have some pretty good beer

 

[Mantid]

[Mantid]

Rock Bottom has a seasonal amarillo hopped IPA which is one of the best I may have had. Its the only brewery close to me that I know of.

 

[Dan s mixed reef]
