What’s good in Gunnison/Crested Butte, especially big stouts?

Headed to Gunnison and CB, wondering if there’s anything noteworthy I should get? I’m especially into big stouts and porters. Thanks

Littleton Brewing Company

Anyone have any idea what's going on with these guys? Seems like they've been delayed for several years now. They first posted on social media in late 2022 (at least as far as I can find, although they've scrubbed their instagram so that their "first" post is from this summer), and being a Littleton resident, I've seen their building under construction for AT LEAST as long. I've seen multiple posts about them opening "this summer," but uhhh, it's come and gone. Still no announcement for an opening date.

Festbiers

Thread for discussing Wiesn-style Festbiers—not Märzen, not "Oktoberfest-style," not Pumpkin-spice Ales—available in Colorado.
* Please make another thread for Colo Märzens if you'd like to discuss those. *

BJCP 4B. Festbier

A smooth, clean, pale German lager with a moderately strong malty flavor and a light hop character. Deftly balances strength and drinkability, with a palate impression and finish that encourages drinking. Showcases elegant German malt flavors without becoming too heavy or filling.

Several have appeared in stores by now, seemingly doubled from last year (as in 4 vs 2, ha)
Any recommended, having tried? Any to avoid?

Locals

  • Crooked Stave
  • Cerebral - Moment in Time
  • Casey
  • Second Dawn - For the Rest of Us
  • milieu - Festy
  • Upslope - "Oktoberfest Lager"
  • Horse & Dragon
  • TRVE - October Rust 9/25 back!
  • Our Mutual Friend ?
  • Bootstrap - Festbier "Marzen Festbier"

Distro

  • Sierra Nevada - Oktoberfest Brauerei Gutmann (2024)
  • La Cumbre
  • Ex Novo - German Overalls
  • Jack's Abbey - Copper Legend
  • Wayfinder - Freiheit ? (returning this year, hopefully?)
  • pFriem ?! (allocated during GABF last year)
  • Live Oak - Oaktoberfest (mislabeled on Untappd; it's a Märzen)
  • Mountains Walking - Chopping Wood ? (anyone seen?)
  • Against the Grain ?
  • Reuben's ?
  • Fair State ?
  • Toppling Goliath

Import - any worth drinking this year?

  • Weihenstephaner
  • Hofbräu
  • Paulaner
  • Warsteiner
  • Tucher

Is Raices brewery near the broncos stadium trying to go bankrupt

2nd game day that I've tried to visit before a game with broken TV's.

Let me get this straight. You open a brewery near the stadium and you can't seem to figure out how to show NFL football games on game day? You have 2 motherfucking jobs, make beer and show NFL.

Mother of God.

Thoughts on New Image's food menu going high end

If you havent been to the Arvada location yet, New Image has changed their concept to a more high end farm to menu. I went a few weeks ago totally ready to be butthurt about the change but the food was honestly impressive. We didnt try any entrees but had almost every appetizer items. Possibly the best food in Arvada aside from Stone Cellar Bistro (havent been yet).

Im guessing rent is just insane in Arvada and this is a way to help keep the lights on. This certainly isnt a new concept, the first time I visited Trillium in Boston they were serving dry aged steaks over lumpwood charcoal.... in a brewery.

Recs for breweries that have good non-beer options

Hey all! I'm visiting Denver at the end of September with my gf and some friends. My partner and I love beer, but our friends, not so much. So with that in mind I'd love to find a couple breweries that have some solid seltzer and/or THC drink options. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Beer Shops

I'm landing the day after Labor day and driving to Breckenridge. I plan on doing some beer shopping in the denver before though. Looking for Live Oak and russian river if it's fresh. I have my eyes on Mr Bs (not sure which location is best) and Little liquors. Just decided on those based on them posting online what drops they get. If anyone has any other suggestions or better (***shops or beers)bring them on. I see Craft Alley mentioned alot but they don't post anywhere so not sure. Also stopping at Westbound on the way out.

(Lager and west coast fan)

What is comporable to left hand ?

Curious if there are any other colroado beers like LH that have as good of a reputation as left hand?

People LOVE their nitro and peanut butter.

Left hand has a huge following almost like Breckenridge brewery...

Are there Any other CO beers that are as popular as these 2?? Never heard a negative comment about LEFT Hand

Looking for a Beertender position

I posted this on the Denver jobs sub but figured I’d give it a go here, too. Wanting to see if anyone knows of any breweries currently hiring part-time bartenders? Doesn’t seem to be a ton of listings online and I attempted to drop of some resumes in person but doesn’t look like anyone is hiring. I have extensive customer service experience as well as a vast knowledge of all things craft beer.

Thanks in advance!

Disclaimer: this isn’t my list so please don’t attack the messenger! They also have ones for city specific breweries.

I haven’t been to a lot of these but some of the placements for Denver ones are a choice.
