I am looking forward to GABF ’22. But thought I would toss in a few beers out now that could describe the mammoth Denver beer fest.
LIGHT
Russian River It Takes A Lot Of Great Beer – 5.2% “There is an old familiar saying in the wine business: “It takes a lot of great beer to make great wine!” Winemakers, cellar workers, and grape pickers alike rarely (if ever) reach for a nice big glass of red wine in the middle of harvest. Wine is quite delicious, but not very refreshing on a hot summer day. The beverage of choice during harvest is BEER! Ice-cold, refreshing, and thirst-quenching BEER! The beer in this bottle is a toast to our winemaking friends who work around the clock during harvest to make world-class wine right here in our own back yard!”
MEDIUM
Cellador ++Good- 6.4% “Fermented and aged in neutral French oak wine barrels with a mixed culture of saison years, brettanomyces and lactic acid producing bacteria. Brewed with Bohemian Pilsner Vienna, Spelt, Oats and Wildflower Honey.”
DARK
Radiant Beer Co. Another Saturday Night DIPA – 8.5% “Another Saturday Night, and you’ve got this tropical and citrus-forward, low bitterness double IPA loaded with punchy hop notes of mango sorbet, Maui punch pixie sticks, fruit sherbet, pineapple, and peach gummy candy. In an awesome way, it’s balanced with notes of ruby red grapefruit, a hint of pine, and a dry finish with well-hidden alcohol presence.”
