New Homebrewer from the brew happy city of Denver

[mfrato]

Just started brewing, my first batch (A bavarian hefeweizen) is fermenting as we speak!

Welcome! I'm planning to brew the Bavarian Hefe soon also. Let us know how it turns out.

Welcome. I just took a trip to Denver and I am very jealous of the brew scene. The liqour stores have more of selection out there than even Total Wines out here in AZ. Hopefully, we can change that.

Welcome mfrato. I am just a bit south of you in Centennial.

 

[camgolfer]

[mfrato]

Welcome! I am in Littleton! CO definitely has a kickin brew scene - I heard there will be a documentary about CO microbrews soon. In the article I read CO was called the "epicenter" of micro-breweries. Crazy!

I believe it, I spent some time out in Ohio and was so disappointed because I could only find 1 microbrew! People out there thought Rolling Rock was the classy good beer!

I'm just north of you in Firestone. Very close to Left Hand Brewery and their delicious Sawtooth Ale. And Avery and their fabulous Ellie's Brown. I sure love Colorado beer...

Happy brewing!

Does anyone know of Colorado brewing clubs?

 

[BrewLynch]

Well to tell you the truth, Im still doing extract untill I feel comfortable enough with everything. That was actually my first batch. What did you want to know?

 

[BrewLynch]

Just curious about what local stores you guys/gals buy from...trying to get best prices around.

Best prices I've seen are at Stomp Them Grapes in the Highlands by I-70. Staff is not terribly friendly or helpful, and they always seem kind of annoyed that I'm trying to buy things from them. But, it's close to my house so I go there if I need to.

I usually go to the Brew Hut in Aurora though. It's by my work, and I like to stop by Drydock for a beer while there. Prices are a little higher, but the staff is better.

yea, that is the store I go to as well, I just wasn't sure if they were expensive or not.n

semi-new (already have 7 batches going) from Boulder. Stomp Them Grape's sister store up here "Hop To It!" is great and i've always found the staff to be really helpful, especially getting started.

 

[Nateo]

I was just at Stomp today, and I would say prices at Brew Hut are about 10% more than at Stomp.

okay thanks man that will save me the trip over there.

 

[mfrato]

Yeah, stomp them grapes seems to be one of the cheapest places around but I wasn't too keen on their staff. Beer At Home in westminster has a smaller selection but is cheaper with bottles and has a very helpful staff.

Beer at home in either englewood or Westminster. Great staff, always eager to bs/help out. And their prices don't suck.
