New Beer: Thursday April 21, 2011
It's a short, short list this week. Next week looks a lot more promising.
Fort Collins - The Incredible Hop - Imperial India Red Ale 22oz (New/Limited)
BeerAdvocate: (not yet listed) Ratebeer: (not yet rateable)
Left Hand - Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout 22oz (Not barrel or Oak Aged)
BeerAdvocate: (not yet listed as Wake Up Dead) RateBeer: (not yet listed as Wake Up Dead)
Side Note: I visited Amato's, Breckenridge Brewery's newest beer bar/restaurant venture in The Highlands, recently. I was impressed. The food was good and the beer list good. The real draw is the upstairs patio. It overlooks downtown and has a central gas fire-pit. Prices were on par for food and beers and the selection for both was pretty solid. Killer artichoke/spinach dip.

Beer News:
Since starting this blog last week it's been interesting watching all the hits. I hope I can (hopefully with the help of others) keep up with this blog and keep providing useful information.
What I learned this week:
Odell Brewing's Hivaranno (American Wild Ale) will be released in the next 2-3 weeks (Store release date(s) coming soon). Odell has also move their much loved St. Lupulin into bottling and it should be here in the next week or two.
Crabtree has an interesting beer coming soon in celebration of the breweries 5th anniversary. Only 40 (twelve 750ml corked and caged bottles) cases were produced of a Belgian Abbey style ale brewed with coriander and dried orange peel then barrel aged in Cabernet barrels for the last 12 months with an addition of caramelized raisins (caramelized in house by hand). The allocations will be sparse but it sounds like Jeff has more things like this in his plans.
Boulevard will bring Saison Brett back this year. It is still 2-3 weeks out from hitting the market and as always will be limited.
Stone Imperial Russian Stout with and without the Belgian yeast and Anise is looking at a 2-3 week release from now.
Redhook will not continue with its Limited seasonal bomber series. Widmer will. Goose Island has promised us 2 rotating seasonal bombers year round (Including Bourbon County). We'll see how well they hold to that.
Tomorrow: New Beers list

Additions to New Beer Thursday April 14, 2011
Just a couple more things I forgot to mention.
Anchor - Summer Beer 12oz six-pack (Seasonal)
BeerAdvocate: B- RateBeer: 33
Rogue - Chatoe Series OREgasmic Ale 22oz (Not really sure... It's been here before but I don't know if the distributor received more or just had some left over?)
BeerAdvocate: B+ RateBeer: 92
News: I talked with our Sierra Nevada rep and learned that the Ovila Abbey Ales are something that may not return. We will get all three styles over the course of this year but if the styles will return again or if the Ovila name will stick around next year seems shady. Seems like a lot of promotional money was spent on something that may not stick around. There will be 500 cases of the Beer Boot Camp Sampler 12oz twelve-pack coming in the next couple months so there should be plenty to go 'round.
