GREAT BEER QUEST AWARD WINNER: BEST STOUT
The last of our best of style awards, this is the big boy. Many of the most bold, bruising, flavor-packed beers we’ve had all year were stouts, including three perfect scores. Every single nominee has a score of 9.5 higher and belongs in our top 10 beers of the year list. Stouts are known for huge coffee and dark chocolate flavor, often infused with vanilla, honey, and bourbon from barrel aging. It’s my favorite style of beer, and the excellent nominees reflect why. Without further await, the nominees for best stout are…
-Founders KBS
-Mikkeller Black Tie
-Great Divide Yeti
-Dieu du Ciel Peche Mortel
-Oskar Blues Ten FIDY
-Ale Smith Speedway Stout
And the Gold medal winner is…
FOUNDERS KBS!
Silver: Ale Smith Speedway Stout
Bronze: Mikkeller Black Tie
Only two awards left to give out… best overall beer, and best brewery.
Craft Beer and The New Years
Last night was a night to remember. Euclid Hall, Bistro Vendôme, and Rioja celebrated a spectacular 2011 with a celebration at Falling Rock Tap House. Working at Euclid Hall gives me the front row seat to one of the best holiday parties of the year. Everything was available. Food, fire shows, karaoke, wines, spirits, and of course craft beer. Here’s the breakdown of our 2011 holiday party.

Euclid Hall January Craft Beer Tappings
GABF at Euclid Hall was crazy this year! When we first opened a year ago we started literally a month or so before the Great American Beer Festival. It was a madhouse the first go around. We had just begun to learn about craft beer and the different styles and producers. Hell we didn’t even know what beers these breweries were releasing outside of what we were allocated or picked up.
The second go around was a lot smoother and a lot cooler. We knew our beer and our styles. We knew our breweries and just about everything they produced year around. We knew what was coming out months before it’s release. We owned GABF in 2011. With the knowledge power and ordering skills of Ryan Conklin, Certified Cicerone® of Euclid Hall, we manged to get our hands on a lot of beer. 100 kegs in fact and that doesn’t even come close to the bottle selection we had been building by cellaring away beer and making new purchases.
We moved through quite a bit of product during that weekend and had a blast sharing with the world, craft beer drinkers and first time comers, exactly what great beer was. Beer Epiphanies were happening minute by minute between great beer on tap, bottles, beer cocktails, and beer blending. It was magical. When it was all said and done we still had a lot of product to burn through. Enter Euclid Hall’s January Tappings.
After a considerable amount of discussion it was decided that the only way to move the amount of product we have would be with a massive tapping. Currently we tap a new keg about once a week on our “back wall”. When the keg blows we put up another one. With 12 main drafts and then you have, what I like to call, “real craft beer” on the back wall, it’s difficult to move through that specialty keg when the non-beer drinker keeps ordering Kolsch and Hefeweizen; regardless of the fact it’s 20° degrees outside.
So in January Euclid Hall will be tapping everything we have left from GABF. Chipper Dave from Fermentedly Challenged got the post up before me so all credit to the tapping list goes to him (Ryan some how missed given me the penned version versus the penciled version all month..). Any beer highlighted will take you to the video review I’ve done on the beer. These beers are the echelon of craft beer. Each day a different keg will be tapped. There are some repeats because of multiple kegs or versions but it will allow the guest, you, to enjoy the beer more than once or if you missed the first time it’ll still be new to you.
Also, every Tuesday, Euclid Hall will do Beer Bites from 3pm (happy hour) till close. You’ll receive 3, 2oz pours of selected beer (bottles and draft) paired with 3 small bite items from the kitchen. This will be a great opportunity to see how beer and food really pair together. Expect to see some of the really cool stuff Euclid Hall offers on our Cellar List thrown into the mix during these Beer Bites. Examples: (Timmermans LE Gueuze, Samuel Smith Stingo, Great Divide 17th Anniversary, ect..)
01 CLOSED. (Euclid Holiday Party! I’ll with you everything we drink that night) 02 Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron (The best Imperial Brown out there? You tell me) 03 Maredsous Triple (One of the biggest Triples) 04 The Bruery 4 Calling Birds (part of the 12 beers of Christmas, not to be missed!) 05 Crooked Stave Chardonnay Good Glory (Belgian Single barrel-aged Proprietary beer) 06 Lost Abbey Angel Share (got to love the keg version – it isn’t flat) 07 Great Divide Espresso Yeti (like a bitter stout? Enter the Espresso Yeti) 08 Avery Beast Grand Cru (The mother of all Avery Beers, Demon Ales!) 09 Dogfish Head 120 Min (The Holy Grail for Hop Heads! 18% Triple IPA!) 10 Avery Lilikoi Mahu (“That Fruity Guy” one of the rarest tappings from Avery!) 11 Jolly Pumpkin Luciernaga Fire Fly (One of the best sour ales from JP) 12 New Belgium Ooh La La! (NB’s Framboise!) 13 Lost Abbey 10 Commandments (Massive and beautiful with some huge fruity esters) 14 Great Divide Old Ruffian Barleywine (A standard for Hop Heads the world over) 15 Avery Lilikoi Mahu (2nd keg – doesn’t exist) 16 Dogfish Head Bitches Brew (Yea that’s right Bitches Brew baby!) 17 St. Feuillien Saison (We’ve been sellign 3/6 Liter Triples, thought we’d mix it up) 18 Jolly Pumpkin Oro de Calabaza (JP’s sour golden! It is outstanding) 19 New Belgium Dunkelweiss (a solid interpretation of the style – Lips of Faith) 20 Lost Abbey Angel Share (First go around – Bourbon, now we’re on to Brandy) 21 Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti (Who doesn’t love Imperial stouts with a touch of oak?) 22 Avery Sacrilicious (Colt & Gray Collaboration – one of a king – doesn’t exist) 23 Dogfish Head Punkin (One of the cooler Brown Ales on the market for sure) 24 Avery Double Dry Hopped duganA (a rare tapping from Avery – if you like hops..) 25 Sierra Nevada Life and Limb (SN/DFH collab! Aging since release get some!) 26 Avery Samael’s Ale (Probably my favorite Avery beer.. perfect – Demon Ales) 27 New Belgium Ooh La La (Sick, sick, sick Framboise- don’t miss it!) 28 Russian River Supplication (The Holy Grail of sour ales.. on tap.. yup!) 29 Avery Lilikoi Mahu (3rd keg! – did I mention THIS BEER DOESN’T EXIST) 30 Dogfish Olde School Barleywine (This is THE winter beer my friends) 31 Odell Bourbon Barrel Stout (Odell’s tribute to what barrel-aging is all about)
So there you have it! Euclid Hall’s complete January tapping list from Jan 2 till the 31st. We want to kick every keg that day so please come by and drink some amazing beer. The average price for these will be $5.25 for an 8oz pour. Some, such as Dogfish Head 120 Minute or Lost Abbey’s Angel Share, will run closer to $10 to $12 a pour at 8oz. Remember that all 8oz pours can be made into 16oz’s for double the price. Also don’t forget about the Tuesday Beer Bites!
Big thanks to Chipper Dave from Fermentedly Challenged for the complete list of craft beer tappings at Euclid Hall. Fermentedly Challenged is a daily blog that covers all things Colorado in the beer world. He’s not only on top of Euclid Hall’s tapping list but just about every event being held in Colorado regardless of the brewery. In the end Dave knows his beer. Check him out!

What You Should Get Your Lover For Christmas
You all know the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. Each day is a different gift and the gift amount corresponds with the day. CBS did a report that last year would have ran nearly $100,000 dollars to enjoy the entire list with all 364 items. If you were to have only one of each item it would run you $23,439 dollars. It’s a fun read. However you don’t need $100k to enjoy the 12 gifts of Christmas. Instead you just need one bottle from each 12 Beers of Christmas from The Bruery.

Avery Brewing Co. Announces Expansion
http://www.notyourdadsbeer.com
Avery Brewing Co. has just announced their plans for expansion. They are still in the works of sealing the deal on a 5.6 acre spot in north Boulder, 4910 and 4920 Nautilus Court. It will be a a great way to showcase our beers and set us apart from other breweries," Adam Avery told Westword in August. "I wish we were already building it."
The land is listed by The Colorado Group and is going for $1.7 million. Avery Brewing however has not finalized the deal quite yet. The location resides between Boulder County Day School, West Lake, and some high-tech manufactures. December 15th marks a hearing that will determine if Avery Brewing can purchase the land. The school has opposed the idea of the brewery being so close to the school saying, "It may pose danger to their students."
Adam Avery has looked at other cities to move the company to. He doesn't want to leave boulder. For 18 years he has been brewing in Boulder and Avery Brewing is pretty much considered a Boulder brewery. To leave would be the same as transporting the Bronco's to another state. Adam Avery has looked at other offers made by other cities if the Boulder project doesn't pan out. They have offered him cheaper land or discounted tax benefits. However Adam Avery has no desire to move the Boulder based brewing company anymore than the fans.
If and when the expansion takes place it will boast Avery tremendously. Their barrels will instantly double. The barrels used for their Barrel-Aging program (sours and others) will also double. This means you might be seeing more and more specialty one-off beers available on the market in the coming year. This also might mean less brewery only releases. Their Barrel-Aged series will go from around 280 barrels to 360 and cap off there. That means the average brewery only release at 83 cases just went up to 160. Rumpkin which was 512 cases will jump to 1000. Not a bad deal.
They also plan to expand with a restaurant. The idea is "slow food" from farm to table. They want a restaurant that will stand out as the beer bar - restaurant in Boulder; which won't be an easy feet with The Kitchen and other concepts coexisting. However their model is very similar to Stone's World Bistro. These are exciting times for craft beer and one of the best Colorado microbreweries on the market!
