    I can't wait to make it down to Prost. I love Dunkles, and am absolutely excited to try their take on the style.

    I love this state! Especially Northern Colorado, not that other spots don't have great beer! But think of how many solid breweries and beer bars are in the Denver-Boulder-Ft. Collins radius!!

    While we're not quite Eastern PA or Wisconsin, we've got a burgeoning German craft scene at the moment. Between Prost, Grimm Brothers, the Sandlot (a bit trickier to get into), Copper Kettle, and Left Hand - we've got most bases covered pretty well. In particular, Prost and Grimm are as good as any I've had in the US.

    Indeed our state, but with 15 breweries within biking distance from my house (within 3 miles) and 4 more by end of year, I have to say I'm a bit partial to my home city. I think people visiting GABF this year are going to be floored with all the phenom breweries that have opened just in the last year alone, all close to downtown and surrounding area!

    Maybe I'll make a list of breweries so that we can put a sticky up for those 'what to do in Denver area' threads. Those pop up from time to time :slight_smile:

    Yes Prost was very very good. Followed it up with a trip to Hops and Pie and was quite impressed by that place as well. Ordered a bottle of Gueuze there and wow... amazing.

    IIRC it was Timmermans 'Oude Gueuze'. Bottle also stated 'The worlds oldest Lambic Brewery'.

    Update on 2 Rascals in Montrose.... Just brewed their first batch (Scottish) a few days ago. Targeting opening around Oct 1st.

    Heard Black Sky is aiming at a Feb opening. Not sure about location. 3rd and Sante Fe?

    Just visited 2 Rascals. Great location but beers wet just okay - largely under attenuated. The scottish 80, stout, and IPA (although the nose was missing) were the best of the 5 available. The location is great - older historic building with room for expansion. Based on observation and their website they are following the frankenbrew philosophy and probably have about a 3-5bbl capacity.

    Saw (from a Denver brewery tour groupon) a few other new ones - including a Green Mountain Falls Brewery... But I couldn't find any other info on it.

    Black Bottle Brewing in Fort Collins opened this past weekend. Haven't hit it up yet but they have 4 of their own beers on tap and 36 taps of guest beers.
