Here’s this week’s report:
HUGE list. Summer is shaping up to be awesome.
- Bull & Bush Man Beer is hitting shelves.
- Wynkoop Colorojo is hitting.
- Stone’s RuinTen is also hitting now.
- We just might see some of Avery’s Momi Hiwa hit shelves this week…
- Avery’s Ross’s's’ Melange released this past Sunday. Word is, the line was thin. So will we see some hit shelves?
- Trinity releases Elektrik Cukumbahh this Friday, June 21st. Unknown yet if this will hit shelves.
- Avery will release Thensaurum very soon. In other news, Avery is dominating the releases this Summer. DOMINATING.
- Three Barrel Brewing will start distributing to Denver very soon.
- Deschutes Black Butte XXV releases by the end of the month, it should hit us early July maybe. Also, keep an eye out for Fresh Squeezed IPA soon.
- Word is out that Ballast Point is re-entering the CO market. No specific details on which brews or exactly when, but soon come.
- Avery Uncle Jacob’s is an awesome stout for the middle of Summer (tongue, cheek, etc). I hope it hits shelves, I’m getting sick of driving all the way to Boulder every week.
- Is The Bruery Bois coming soon? I thought it was, but haven’t seen any info. Anyone got some inside info? If no word, I’ll drop this from the report.
- Stone W00tStout sounds fun. No word on when it releases, but we should see it in Denver in the not-so-distant future.
- There are RUMORS that AleSmith is coming to CO soon. This is a recurring rumor…so let’s sit on this and see what happens.
Look for more updates throughout the week (if there are any more to report). Please share any Denver area beer release news you might have either in the comments or on Twitter @ssteigerwald.
Here’s this week’s report:
- Hey! So, Bull & Bush Man Beer bottles are starting to hit.
- AC Golden Peche Batch #2.
- Avery is at it again. Ross’s's’ Melange releases this Sunday, June 16 @ 4 PM. 12 bottle limit, $10 each. 147 cases produced, so this might sell out pretty quickly. Enjoy waiting on line for Father’s Day! Send your wife and kids instead while you stay home!
- Stone RuinTen releases in Cali June 17. I assume we will see this a week or two afterwards. (Word is, as early as next week.)
- Wynkoop Colorojo is coming soon.
- Word is out that Ballast Point is re-entering the CO market. No specific details on which brews or exactly when, but soon come.
- Deschutes Black Butte XXV releases by the end of the month, it should hit us early July maybe.

Here’s this week’s report:
- Trinity Three Flowers is out. Sounds interesting. Also, Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta and 10 Minutes of Pleasure (collab w/New Belgium).
- Some Crooked Stave goodies this week, in stores. Yum.
- Deschutes/Great Lakes Class of ’88 Imperial Smoked Porter. <– That’s a lot of words.
- Upslope IIPA will hit this week. This thing is HUGE; a 10 percent ABV double IPA in 19.2-ounce imperial pint cans. Sounds like the perfect lawnmower beer to me. This will be a new year round, so not necessarily the rares, but fun as hell.
- Rockyard Spirit of Danny is out too.
- Avery is releasing Momi Hiwa this Sunday, June 9 at 5PM. 12 bottle limit, $10/bottle. 283 (24-count) cases produced with about 25 being held back. Using math, that’s like a hundred billion bottles, so there’s no need to wait on a 4 hour line. (But seriously, about 6,000 bottles for the release party, divide that by the bottle limit of 12, that’s 500 people if everyone buys the max… So it’s highly doubtful anyone will miss out. Show up an hour late instead, walk in, buy your beer, and be out all in 10 minutes. Maybe have a Tweak while you’re there.)
- Is The Bruery Bois coming soon? Are you willing to shell out something like 40 bucks? For just one?
- Stone RuinTen releases in Cali June 17. I assume we will see this a week or two afterwards.
- Stone W00tStout sounds fun. No word on when it releases, but we should see it in Denver in the not-so-distant future.

Here’s this week’s report:
I’m tired after the long weekend. Not much new news yet, but it’s still early.
- New Belgium Pluot is out now.
- Upslope will be releasing their new IIPA in May…er, I mean June. This thing will be HUGE; a 10 percent ABV double IPA in 19.2-ounce imperial pint cans. Sounds like the perfect lawnmower beer to me. This will be a new year round, so not necessarily the rares, but fun as hell. (UPDATE: This will start hitting shelves next Monday, so look for it next week!)
- Is The Bruery Bois coming soon? Are you willing to shell out something like 40 bucks? For just one?
- Avery is releasing Momi Hiwa on June 9. A rum-barrel aged coconut porter sounds gross to me. You should probably skip this release. But seriously, there will be plenty to go around, and this might even see store shelves. So calm your shit.
- Stone W00tStout sounds fun. No word on when it releases, but we should see it in Denver in the not-so-distant future.

Here’s this week’s report:
Going full-bore. Release the hounds. It’s a big week, just in time for 3 day drinking.
*** The three stars means other beers from this brewer have also been released. It seems like each store got different variants, so just get out and look!
- Elevation’s False Summit has FINALLY hit. Also, Third Base bottles have hit.
- Avery released their next anniversary beer last week; Twenty XX India Pale Ale. This hit some shelves last week, but we should see it hit more widely this week.
- Odell released Celastrina saison on the 18th. Hittin’ shelves now. Butterflies. Cute.
- Lagunitas Lucky 13.
- Hoppin Frog*** Natasha Rocks America, D.O.R.I.S. the Destroyer, B.O.R.I.S., BA B.O.R.I.S. have hit.
- Fantome*** Brise-BonBons, Chocolat and Printemps.
- Boulevard Saison-Brett.
- Flying Dog Single Hop Imperial IPA (Citra) and Gonzo Imperial Porter.
- Upslope will be releasing their new IIPA in May (which is almost overrrrrr yo!). This thing will be HUGE; a 10 percent ABV double IPA in 19.2-ounce imperial pint cans. Whaaaaattt! This will be a new year round, so not necessarily the rares, but fun as hell.
- Is The Bruery Bois coming soon? Are you willing to shell out something like 40 bucks? For just one?

Here’s this week’s report:
It’s American Craft Beer Week! Check your local breweries and beer bars for events all week. Special releases, beer events, etc. Also, there’s these guys working towards opening a new brewery in Denver, would you be so kind as to fill out their survey? surveymonkey.com/s/96BQK7B
- I’m thinking we’ll see Crooked Stave’s Hop Savant hit shelves this week. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. (P.S. – I was not wrong.)
New Belgium Paardebloem and Pluot are both on shelves now (or hitting your store soon). Although, I haven’t seen it yet…anyone confirm?Fuck this shit. If the distrib is going to sit on NB stuff for silly reasons, then I’m not including NB in the reports anymore.- Avery is releasing their next anniversary beer; Twenty XX India Pale Ale. The release party is May 16th, and like their other anni beers, we should see this hit shelves. (LATE FRIDAY UPDATE: It’s hitting Denver-area shelves)
- Strange Brewing will release their 2012 GABF Bronze winning barleywine, dr. strangelove, on Friday, May 17th at noon. This will be a brewery-only release, $20 a pop, yo.
- River North is releasing their next Barrel Series beer on May 18; Whiskey Barrel-Aged Hello, Darkness. Only 30 cases bottled, so this will be a taproom-only release. A black IPA aged in whiskey barrels sounds like heaven to me!
- Odell is releasing Celastrina saison on May 18th. Assuming this will hit shelves.
- Crooked Stave is having a Roy G. Biv party on May 19th! This is to celebrate the release of Wild Wild Brett Violet and the end of the series. This won’t see store shelves. It’s a rainbow party, with unicorns and shit!
- Upslope will be releasing their new IIPA in May. This thing will be HUGE; a 10 percent ABV double IPA in 19.2-ounce imperial pint cans. Whaaaaattt! This will be a new year round, so not necessarily rare, but fun as hell.

Here’s this week’s report:
Last week saw the release of Firestone Walker Parabola. It became a beer hunters nightmare (or dream? “Thrill of the hunt”…) since the Colorado allocation was cut in half this year. Between a smaller allocation and a growing beer geek population, it was difficult to track down Parabola. Many stores sold out before it even hit shelves, and stores that usually post on social media or newsletters about a beer’s arrival did not post about Parabola. Cantillon, specifically Fou’ Foune, was also spotted in an extremely limited amount.
- Really, not much to report this week. Avery Samael’s is out, Grimm Bros Maiden Kiss, various mixed 12-packs. Nice to have a slow week….but just wait until next week. Because, beer.
- Avery is releasing their next anniversary beer; Twenty XX India Pale Ale. The release party is May 16th, and like their other anni beers, we should see this hit shelves.
- River North is releasing their next Barrel Series beer on May 18; Whiskey Barrel-Aged Hello, Darkness. Only 30 cases bottled, so this will be a taproom-only release. A black IPA aged in whiskey barrels sounds like heaven to me!
- Odell is releasing Celastrina saison on May 18th. Assuming this will hit shelves.
- Crooked Stave is having a Roy G. Biv party on May 19th! This is to celebrate the release of Wild Wild Brett Violet and the end of the series. This won’t see store shelves. It’s a rainbow party, with unicorns and shit!
- Upslope will be releasing their new IIPA in May. This thing will be HUGE; a 10 percent ABV double IPA in 19.2-ounce imperial pint cans. Whaaaaattt! This will be a new year round, so not necessarily rare, but fun as hell.

Here’s this week’s report:
The trend: Brewery only releases.
- It’s here. You know what it is. And it’s going fast…some beer hunters are posting locations in the comments section…
- Goose Island. Big John. WHAT!?!?! WHAT!!?!!!!?!!!!!?!
- Avery is releasing Volunt Plus Erat this Saturday (05/04) at 5PM, brewery-only release…it is doubtful this will see store shelves. Only 55 cases being released. $8 per bottle, 6 bottle limit. Wish there was more
- Avery is releasing their next anniversary beer; Twenty XX India Pale Ale. The release party is May 16th, and like their other anni beers, we should see this hit shelves.
- River North is releasing their next Barrel Series beer on May 18; Whiskey Barrel-Aged Hello, Darkness. Only 30 cases bottled, so this will be a taproom-only release. A black IPA aged in whiskey barrels sounds like heaven to me!
- Odell is releasing Celastrina saison on May 18th. Assuming this will hit shelves.
- Crooked Stave is having a Roy G. Biv party on May 19th! This is to celebrate the release of Wild Wild Brett Violet and the end of the series. It’s widely expected Violet will sell out that day (or will only be available from onsite otherwise), so this won’t see shelves. It’s a rainbow party, with unicorns and shit!
- Upslope will be releasing their new IIPA in May. This thing will be HUGE; a 10 percent ABV double IPA in 19.2-ounce imperial pint cans. Whaaaaattt! This will be a new year round, so not necessarily rare, but fun as hell.

Here’s this week’s report:
I decided to remove some of the legacy stuff that keeps carrying over until I have firmer dates on things. Word on the street is, this will be a kick-ass week. Look for semi-frequent updates in this space. Don’t hoard, unless you want to be an a-hole.
- Great Divide 19th Anniversary is here. Birchy.
- Avery Maharaja. yay.
- Upright Brewing Five and Six. Whaaaaat?
- Russian River’s usual suspects yo.
- Boulevard’s Love Child No. 3. Boom.
- Crooked Stave St. Bretta. Bam.
- Dogfish Head 61 Minute. Ok.
- Prairie Artisan Ales from Oklahoma has entered the CO market. Holla!
-
Imports galore!! Kapow!:
- De Struise Brouwers Pannepot 2011
- Mikkeller It’s Alive, Monk’s Brew, “Wheat is the new hops” and 10000000000000 IBU (or something like that)
-
Brouwerij de Molen Hel & Verdoemenis Imperial Stout
- Brasserie Trois Dames L’Amoureuse Rouge and L’Amoureuse Blanche
- Sarasola Sagardoa

Here’s this week’s report:
- Stone IRS & Espresso IRS are here. Holy fuckballs!
- Clown Shoes brought in a bunch more stuff…better stuff. Including Chocolate Sombrero, Blaecorn Unidragon and Hoppy Feet 1.5.
- Brash just delivered a whole bunch of beer goodness to us. They are new to Colorado, but have close ties to Clown Shoes. Check ‘em out! Item Nine, Smoglifter, Texas Exile and The Bollocks.
- Parabola. Here’s the deal folks; I’ve been threatening to take this off the report for various reasons, mainly the hoarders. Well, I just got word that since Firestone Walker has entered the Texas market, Colorado is SOL and only getting 1/2 the usual allotment. This means, lots less for us. With that in mind, this is the last time you will see Parabola in this report. Haters gonna hate.
- Elevation is releasing False Summit (a Bourbon barrel-aged Quadrupel) soon. (UPDATE: False Summit is a few weeks out due to TTB labeling issues.)
- Dogfish Head Sixty-One should be around sometime soon. meh.
- On the horizon (File under “Maybe it ain’t happening”):
- La Cumbre is supposed to be bringing their highly acclaimed Elevated IPA to CO very soon. GABF Gold? 97 on Beer Advocate? 100 on RateBeer!?!? Yes please! (UPDATE: What I heard through the grapevine is they were ready to bring it here, but then inked a deal locally (in NM) to distribute with some grocery stores which depleted their supply. This means, CO will be waiting a bit longer…)
