Weekly Beer Update: Thursday May 7, 2015

News: It seems some brewers have been listening to our cry's for more sour ales. As Crooked Stave finally is back into packaging beers, we have seen quite a few new beers from them. We will continue to as well. Look out for Nightmare on Brett coming later this month as well as the return of Hop Savant in variations, more from the Petite Sour line and more. Also Avery is excited to be finally pushing out heavier allocations of their Barrel Aged Series and the new Botanicals & Barrels Series with Raspberry Sour. Later this month we will be bringing on Odd 13 who has some promising sours in cans and really impressive Brettanomyces beers in cans. So keep an eye out for them too. A surprise visit from Wiley Roots in Greeley provided us with another Colorado brewery for you to support this week and we are on the lookout for more.

Here we go with an impressive list this week.
