Appropriately brewed in honor of Colorado’s 300 days of sunshine. This beer is a sauce-y combination of IPA and American wheat. The light citrus flavor makes it a perfect summertime drink to complement those lazy beer garden afternoons.
We all have a little action hero in us, especially after downing a few of these. One of the most sessionable blondes in the Mile High City.
For locals, this beer is a no-brainer. It is dark and effective. Simply put, it will get you sauced enough to stick a Yeti sticker on the front of your bike helmet before you push home.
Red ales are perfect for Colorado. Especially when they are Imperial Red Ales, and even more so when they come from the governor’s brew pub. At 8.2% ABV, it gets the job done in addition to being delicious.

A dark wheat that tastes like cherries. This one is an ambi- a brew that can be appealing both in summer or winter.
Prost focuses specifically on German beers and they do it well- the Dunkel is a prime example of a smooth dark beer that even your pilsner-drinking friends will like.
If you like traditional British beer, this English Brown is the best in the Mile High. It blends hazelnut and chocolate with a hoppy finish.
This brew is aged in wine barrels and has a taste of blackberries. With a saison influence, it manages to come off as crisp and refreshing.
Asian spices from Lao Wang Noodle House make this a beer unlike any other in town. First taste will bring more questions than answers; namely what the hell is in this beer?
