    My biggest struggle brewing today was not drinking all the probiotic that I got to inoculate the wort. Stuff is real good.

    Oh man. I've had the Julius once...so good.

    But I live in NYC so I'm spoiled for choice of good hazy IPAs

    Between Grimm, Other Half and Threes, were spoiled.

    Julius is delicious. I wish Tree House was a little closer but it’s probably better that it’s not, I’d be there all the time.

    I don't remember the last time I reached willingly for an NEIPA. I think they taste quite good, but the best of the best all bleed together flavor-wise. Techniques are very similar across the board and the range of hops used just aren't broad enough to give different flavor profiles.

    Agree ^^^

    As a style, the beer is good. But it isn't a style that lends to much innovation

    I can agree with that. I think Tree House and Trillium taste pretty different but on the whole NEIPAs can taste similar.

    I wish good pilsners were more readily available. Victory’s Prima was one of my go-to beers in college and still one of my favorites when I can find it.

    I can't tolerate them like I used to for stomach related issues, but I agree. I used to go down to Other Half and wait on line sometimes. Stuff is fantastic but every variation of different hops kinda blend together after a while.

    I used to like Sam Summer a good bit but more and more I find it tastes like dish soap.

    Epic Brewing, Our Mutual Friend Brewing, Wynkoop Brewing, Dry Dock (in Aurora)
    Take the Coors brewery tour in Golden if you never have, it's pretty cool and you get 3 free 8 oz. tasters at the end. Not just of Coors but of beers they distribute as well.

    Ratio is my favorite brewery in Denver for sure, I just didn't know I should recommend them because they have mostly IPA's but now that I think about it I guess they do a lot of weird experimental shit too lol

    Comrade is really cool too I used to live in the apartments right next to it
