new CO beers
I'm not sure what this is about, but New Belgium didn't do Loft this year -- that makes me very sad. This year's summer seasonal is Skinny Dip: cascade hops frolic with kaffir lime and ample malt to create a bright, citrusy nose that’s as crisp as chilling in a mountain pond. It's actually quite good for a hot summer day, a bit lighter than my usual beers of choice but refreshing.
If you like a nice imperial IPA, this is the shit. Holy crap it is good.
The old man is a fan of Gordon from Oskar Blues. They also have a little beer called "Leroy." Leroy comes in cans and is described as "Little Chub," a lighter version of their classic Old Chub.

So one of the local liquor stores has beer tastings every week (good stuff like Stone, Victory, and others), and last night was for Chimay Ale. It just reinforced my thought that, if you're a fan of good beer, you definitely have to try it. My favorite is the one with the blue label, although I can't remember the name right now.

Alright, I need a suggestion to get my husband off the Bud Light and Corona kick he's on. He drinks Bud when he wants to "have a few beers"...he drinks Corona when he wants to really feel the effects. I doubt he would touch anything European, it's not really his style.

Ah, Corona, the great overrated beer...
Sam Adams could work. He would probably want to stick with a lager or pilsner at first, something similar to what he's drinking. Sam Adams Boston Lager or Summer Ale may be a good start. They're not too hoppy and have a smooth finish.
Grant's Lazy Days and Yuengling could also work. Of course, there's always PBR, which is a solid beer (especially for the large distribution).

Yeah, I had that thought, and they do sell it here...but I don't know if he'd drink something he can't pronounce. 
I might try him on the Sam Adams next time.

So I acutally got my husband to try the Yuengling Light(I think it helped that my dad was drinking it as well). If nothing else, it will get him away from the Bud Light.

I don't know if he's already tried Mexican beers, but Tecate and Dos Equis are really good.

I think I'm taking the Yuengling Factory Tour for my upcoming bday.
I do love my some Yuengling. I did enjoy Kona Longboard this summer. They're starting to sell it in Jersey, which makes me happy.

I know it's really hot to quote yourself, but you guys, for real I'm going to say it:
Gordon is the best beer I've ever had.
There. OMG.
Also, this weekend is the Colorado Brewers' Festival in Ft. Collins, and I am very much looking forward to it.

9.3% ABV and IBU of 85? I have to find that stuff around here. Thanks for the tip.
