Local brew suggestions...

Any beer worth having, is worth having somebody stand in line to get it for you.

Get back in that line.  I've got your back, buddy.

Holy Cow 

I just went out to pick up some beer - turned down - twice.

Pulling up near the New Belgium I'm seeing cars and people about. People carrying two-litre glass bottles of beer back to their cars. Cars parked wherever they can. I pull into the lot (all 40 spaces of it) and as quickly pull out and park a 1/2 block away. Walking into the brewery's pub/bar/store I get in line - a line that is not moving. Asking a bar hop if I'm in the right line he says, "yep". I leave. I'll come back later.

Around a couple corners (1 mile max) I'm at O`Dell's brewery - in a line of cars waiting to turn left into their parking lot. Each car in the line I'm in turns left into the brewery. The outdoor patio is packed with people. All cars travel to the back of the parking lot and past the plywood sign "Parking", into a field, up a hill... I didn't bother parking and just turned around and left. Guess I'll head home and pack and return later.

OYE

(but I can't blame the other people, I picked a ripe terrible time to do a beer run - a wonderful weather Friday at 4:55pm)

Severe thunderstorm warning here yesterday and tornado watch today.

Hey Basco - just notice you're in Castle Rock. I have a new-to-me client there such that I'll be swinging by their place on the way from the national back home to Fort Collins (so no scenic route in the mountains between the points).

About 2pm today / Saturday I visited the Fort Collins Brewery and picked up a 12-pack sampler and two seasonals (quarts?). Down the street at O`Dell's I grabbed two more sampler 6-packs. They had a decent line and were pumping out sampler racks - 6 different brews. Over at New Belgium the line was, again, too long so I flat out left. For their brews I settled on a couple large bottles from the liquor store.

The iced cooler's in the car and I'm leaving for Dinosaur and Flaming Gorge Sunday AM. See everyone Tuesday!

If you can get it , try some Moose Drool. I had some last year while in Estes Park.
