I'm patiently waiting, so what should I drink?

[thunk]

Howdy, my first brew, a Brewers Best Hop Nog IPA is in week two of the fermenter, and all looks good. The airlock has stopped bubbling, i'm going to bottle on Sunday. So, while I wait for my first batch to mature (i'm hoping to crack one on Christmas) I think of all the beers I should be trying. It's funny how much i'm thinking about beer now that i have a carboy filled with it in the house.

any suggestions? I live in Colorado, so there are plenty of good choices, but my recent favorite is EVERYTHING from Laguanitas. Now back to staring at my carboy

The Sierra Nevada holiday brew is good this time of year

+1 on that.

You live in Colorado. Drive down the damn street or something.

YUP!
Drive your lazy butt to the Pump House....or up the road to Oskar Blues....or over to Left Hand.

**** man...you've got more good beer within 20 miles of you than most people will ever be able to touch.

+1 on Left Hand. Buy a 6 of Jackman Ale, drink 1 and ship the other 5 to me. I rarely see it in Iowa.

If I had Old Chub on tap....and it tasted like it does at the restaurant there, I'd never leave the house.

get the 22oz otherwise they have twist offs

Lagunitas is good, but in my opinion, it doesn't stand up to a good Victory Hop Devil or a Victory Hop Wallop. Personally the Devil is just as good as the Wallop and at $5 cheaper a sixer, it's my pick every time.

...and, like said above, 12 oz Lagunitas are twisties, which doesn't help stock the bottles.
