Boulder Brewing

[Redbird Fan]

Today I tried Boulder Brewing's "Amber Ale" - I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised. It is very good, very crisp, not too hoppy, but you know it's there - not too bitter, but the first sip (gulp in my case) will get ya - pleasant aftertaste.

I would definitely recommend it. I've tried to look them up on the web but the web site listed as www.boulderbeer.com doesn't seem to be working.

Anyone know more on them? I see they've been around since 1979 and they have some reputable history - how are they doing these days?

have not seen it in the local paint store, but have heard it's good. perhaps if i get that job in broomfield i'll become acquainted with it.

I went to the Brewery just a couple of weeks ago to get a keg for a party and ended up trying a bunch of beers...yammi!
Thier looking glass series ( I think that´s what it´s called) is awesome, with the Hazed and Infused and some others.
Mostly though it´s the friendly and helpful atmosphere at the brewery and pub that makes it worth a visit!

Don´t know why the link is not working, I was in there just a couple of weeks ago...can´t remember if it was that adress though...???

Hey Rebecca from Boulder...

What do you know about beers from Avery Brewing in Boulder? My local guy is carrying several varieties.
I picked up a bottle of "The Reverend" Belgian Style Quadrupel Ale, but haven't opened it yet.
What am in store for?

[Bacchus]

Ah...you got me there, although I´ve probably tried most beers in and around Boulder...I´m not very familiar with Avery´s brews...don´t know why...
I´ve tried a couple a while back, and I think I liked most of them! Probably because I prefer to drink my beers at the brewery pubs and don´t experiment that much at home at the moment...
But now that you mention it, I´m going to go for their beers next time I´m at the liquorstore!!! :-D

Rebecca-are you as bummed as I am that Oasis closed? At least I think it is-Love Boulder too-it as been a few years since I was in Boulder last-enjoyed Trivia nite at the Brewery.

Ciao

Yep, the Oasis is closed alright...but I´m OK about that, I never went there a lot...it´s sad that Boulder looses a good brewery though!

My favorites are the Walnut and Mountain Sun, especially their new place the Southern Sun at Table Mesa, which is bigger and cooler.

Cheers,

Becca

I am with ya on Walnut and Mountain Sun (love that place) is BJs and Red fish still around?

You betcha!!! But I ´don´t hang out there a lot, just started going to BJs more last week...it´s the only place with their own cider and that´s so good now in the summertime!
Haven´t been to Redfish in a while either, but it´s a good place...!

Ann Arbor, how´s the Conor´s there??? I love Conor´s here, it´s my second home!

[Bman]

Conor's is pretty good-we have three BPs in A2 Arbor Brewing-decent beer-OK food. Grizzley Peak decent beer-good food, and Leopolds-so so beer-and no food.

If you make it up here checkout Ashley's Pub-great MI beer selection-they are $$-but good selection.

[Bacchus]

Cool, I´ll keep that in mind if I ever come that way!

I like our Conor´s also because there are times you don´t want micros, but real European beer, sometimes, there just isn´t anything better than a good old Guinness...ah...and being from Europe...well...

But I must say...all my worries about how and where to get good beer in the States were soon stilled by all the awesome brews around here...this is beerheaven!

[BluesHarp]

To sort of answer my own question...I picked up some Avery "Old World Porter"...quite nice; a bit of sweetness, nice hoppiness, a touch of smoky, roasted malt. I liked it .
I gave my bottle of Reverend Quadrupel Belgian to my cousin as a housewarming gift...I bet I taste some of it the next time we meet. ;)

sometimes :confused: i'd take guinness over any beer anywhere anytime.

i still have one can of pub draught in the fridge from the last case i bought...it is in reserve for when i finally get a job again...hope it doesn't spoil first!

[Redbird Fan]

yeah, the job market is pretty lean these days - makes you appreciate the good brew that much more - be it your own homebrew or the last pennies on an overpriced import (or micro).
