Retail Beer Releases (Week of 1/3)

A relatively slow beer week continues in the Denver area with only two new releases.  However, I've also added all the beers that came out during the two weeks I was on vacation.  One that you definitely won't want to miss is Flying Dog's new Raging Bitch Belgian IPA.  This special beer was brewed to celebrate the brewery's 20th Anniversary and features all the hops you'd expect from an American IPA, but with the addition of a Belgian yeast twist.  If you can't find a six pack in town, it's also currently available on tap at the Rackhouse Pub.

Also today, the Rock Bottom Brewery on 16th Street will be giving away FREE BEER from 6:00pm to 6:30pm to celebrate the release of their new Salamander Amber.  That's a price you can't beat and while you're there I recommend trying the oak aged Imperial Stout and Hop Bomb IPA.  Both were excellent the last time I was there.

New beer releases in the Denver area this week:

• Deschutes Red Chair Pale Ale (Seasonal)
• Widmer W10 Black IPA (New)

Beer releases you might have missed:

• Flying Dog Raging Bitch Belgian IPA (Limited Release)
• Avery New World Porter (Seasonal)
• Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout (Seasonal)
• Avery Mephistopheles Stout (Seasonal)
  

Retail Beer Releases (Week of 12/13)

With just a week till Christmas Eve the new beer list is far shorter than usual and I've already covered the only one of these that looks like standout, so I guess I'll use this post to talk about the blog.  I'm currently trying to come up with some new ideas for future posts and was wondering what you, the readers, would like to see.  I have a little poll on the right or you can just comment on this post. Additionally, I'll be going on another vacation next week, so posting may be sporadic until the new year.
