Our Top 10 Montana Craft Beers

August 29, 2019 No Comments

As we shared with you yesterday, we visited Great Falls, Montana this summer for the Beer Now Conference. While in Great Falls we visited a few breweries, enjoy several beer tastings, and attended the Montana Brew Fest. Suffice it to say, we sampled a LOT of Montana beer. That’s not a brag or a confession, that’s just a fact. #BeerBloggerProblems So, what did we learn on our summer beercation? We’re so happy you asked! We […]

February 18, 2019 No Comments

That’s why we were excited to get a package from Left Hand Brewing Co with samples of their latest seasonals: Hard Wired Nitro and Raspberry Milk Stout. Today we want to tell you about these two new brews and how they left […]

Spring May Be Ugly, but Summer Will Be FUGLI

April 25, 2018 No Comments

Springtime in Colorado is anything but boring. One day we’re drinking on the patio in shorts and flip-flops. The next day our patio furniture is covered in snow. Sun, rain, snow, wind… anything goes this time of year. Sometimes spring weather can be just plain ugly. Fortunately, summer is just around the corner and ready to bring with it some sunshine, warm breezes, and plenty of seasonal summer beers. One of last year’s summer brews […]

April 20, 2018 No Comments

Happy 420 Day, everyone! While we aren’t out partaking in any 420 Day festivities personally, we thought today seemed like an appropriate day to write about the latest release from New Belgium Brewing Company: The Hemperor HPA. The beer actually hit the market a bit earlier this month, but something about today made it seem extra relevant. Let’s take a look at this new release and the challenges craft breweries face when trying to make […]

New Belgium Collaborates With Old Belgium for Lips Of Faith 2016

April 14, 2016 No Comments

This year New Belgium Brewing is celebrating their 25th anniversary. Can you even believe that? We’re pretty sure there is a joke in there about still calling them “New” Belgium after all these years. Clearly, they’re one of the old-timers in the craft beer scene. Still, we respect New Belgium Brewing too much to take this accomplishment lightly. After all, a hefty portion of today’s craft breweries wasn’t even a dream 25 years ago. Many […]

Goose Summer Ale, Our Current BFF

June 10, 2015 No Comments

When you drink beer and write about beer as we do, you often find yourself getting the same question: “What’s your favorite beer?” We usually give a silly, meaningless response like, “The one in my hand,” because honestly, that’s a very complicated question to answer. Neither of us really have one favorite beer. What we want to drink changes constantly, and often depends on the setting, season, time of day, and countless other factors. But […]

The weather in Colorado has been a bit frightful lately. The past few weeks have been fairly Seattle-like, as cloudy days and chilly rain has preempted our normal warm, sunny Colorado weather. But don’t let the forecast fool you, spring has sprung, and summer is just around the corner. Summer brings with it the promise of long sunny days, outdoor fun and enjoying plenty of great craft beers. Session beers, or beers with an ABV of […]
