NEW BELGIUM SNOW DAY

I headed into the mountains this weekend.  The weather forecast said snow.  Winter ale’s are one of my favorites of the seasonal types.  New Belgium Brewing, located in Fort Collins, CO, has been putting out a winter seasonal called 2 Below ever since I’ve lived here.  As much as I like New Belgium, 2 Below was really not my favorite winter beer.  But this season they put out another winter seasonal, Snow Day, which I have to say is one of my favorites that the brewery makes, Continue reading “NEW BELGIUM SNOW DAY”

GREAT DIVIDE FRESH HOP ALE

GOLDEN CITY BREWING MAD MOLLY’S BROWN ALE


In this great state of Colorado there are a lot of very good breweries; some really big, some really small.  I live in Golden, home to the largest single brewery in the world (one that I’m not really a fan of).  Fortunately, this makes it kind of a beer town.  The first happy hour in town starts at 7am.  Just for the night shift folks at Coors.  But Golden also has one other brewery, the Golden City Brewery.  Their slogan is “The second largest brewery in Golden”.  Continue reading “GOLDEN CITY BREWING MAD MOLLY’S BROWN ALE”
