GABF 2015

[bdc1]

Falling rock is a ******** too.

It was crowded for sure but at least they had beer

 

[poonamibaxter]

Just some advice for anyone out of town with a car, Tom's Diner for lunch is a cant miss. I so miss that place since we moved to MN.

Toms is cash and lunch only. Denver Biscuit Company is the lick also.

Toms is still mos def worth the stop. Hope they have fried chicken.....

Sometimes I call Tom's even if I'm not going there just because the recorded message always makes me happy

 

[Penguin3200]

Must find this toms you speak of...

 

[balesfc]

FYI Toms is closed for renovations until Oct 5. Ispeakforthetrees and I just tried to go there. Ended up at Euclid Hall instead.

 

[brewsobrewco]

Sam's No.3 is ******** busy for breakfast but delicious as well. Euclid Hall is rad for sure. Discovered Star Bar this afternoon. Awesome dark bar with great beer and better whiskey. Going to be a cluster for the rest of the weekend though because it's in the middle of the Oktoberfest celebration

 

[Ungertaker]

Is anyone getting together anywhere near downtown this evening?

 

[beeerear]

Did anyone else drink tons of Prop at Rare Beer Fest?

 

[DrLoveMD]

Suprisingly, they had a keg left at last call. Starting filling glasses to the brim with Prop. What an event!

 

[youbrewidrink]

I was a bit disappointed to see one of the owners at the other website post negatively about WTF. When anyone does that to one of their festivals they go ape ****.

 

[youbrewidrink]

I did like the way Port Brewing flew the Churchill's Finest Hour under the radar.

 

[TheMitz]

I actually had a great time at the GABF member session. No lines for Lawsons and Societe for most of the afternoon, 4 oz pour of Vanilla rye on accident, NOLA was a great surprise among others. Also touching tips with Stubs while chatting with some awesome brewers at Falling Rock after. One of my best beer related days in a while.

 

[Stubs]

I used to not mind their shitiness but getting pushed to the end of a line cause you didnt Order by number.


Srs?

 

[Lutter]

I used to not mind their shitiness but getting pushed to the end of a line cause.you didnt.order by number.


Srs?

Heh. I did this twice and the guy just said "number, please" and I told him the number, got beer. Didn't get pushed back. They're a well-oiled machine over there and I'm sure their bartenders just fell down dead on Sunday.

That PNC they poured on tap on Saturday night might've been my favorite of the entire festival, btw. That **** was amazing.

BTW: How awesome is Comrade Superpower IPA? I'd never heard of those guys until I tried Superdamp at Hops & Pie and Superpower at Falling Rock. That's some solid stuff.

Yeah. Comrade is super good. Drank a few pours from the plastic cup station.

Was like that in 2014 also. Got 4-5 pours literally just standing at the table by myself. It was great.

 

[ASak10]

Comrade sucks. Don't people know Colorado has no good IPAs

Superdamp was one of my favorites of the whole trip. Pricey at $11/pint at the brewery, but worth it.

Why was it so expensive? That seta a record for a non-sour/non-BA beer.

I don't know...Probably more expensive to make because of the wet hops. Growler fills were $40. It was really good. I started with a taster then went for the full pour.

Comrade thinks they are just the coolest brewery on the block and we all should have to suffer thoroughly to be worthy of their hoppy juices,

 

[JulianB1]

Step 1: name brewery after Russian term of friendship frequently associated with communist era, including branding reminiscent of Soviet imagery.

Step 2: charge outrageously high prices like shameless capitalists.

Step 3: profit from the irony.

 

[Lutter]

It was $6 for 10oz at Hops & Pie.

I need to stop by there next trip to Denver and get a growler fill... we just had too much **** planned to make it over there.

 

[mhenson421]

It was $6 for 10oz at Hops & Pie.

I was too busy drinking Maman at hops & pie to care about anything else. Lol

I remember them having Superpower, not Super-damp when we were there on Wed.

Ended up at the brewery on Thursday...10 oz at the brewery was $7, pint $11 and $40 for growler

 

[mhenson421]

Actually the pint cost me $10.50 with my whopping $0.50 AHA discount. Lol

It was during the Casey Brewing tapping on Friday afternoon.
