Just returned home from Chicago where I crammed an entire stout season into 3 days of gluttony. I also got to brew a beer at my old homebrew club. We did a collaboration hazy using a new yeast from Chicago's Omega Yeast and I brought some Sonoran white wheat as my component.
Anyway, got to try the majority of the BCBS lineup and have to say that outside their reserve barrels, their flavored variants were meh to bad. I don't even know what to say about the cocktail inspired Prop...banana, coconut, lime, and pineapple...ummm, yeah.
Revolution scratched the itch though and I've got 4 boxes of Rev Deep Woods cans on their way to my house *knocks on wood*
Other highlights were watching the Chiefs game at Fat Pour, which had the entire BCBS lineup on tap and best of all has become a ****ing Broncos support bar (I had no idea, I guess its changed ownership).
I also got a chance to stop by the newly opened Hop Butcher For The World taproom, which is the former Half Acre original production brewery on Lincoln Ave. They didn't have anything crazy on tap but it was cool to finally drink their beers on tap and see their new place.
