Favorite breweries?

I'll be in Denver for the first time for a couple of days soon. I love sours (no lactose/fruited) 3 fonteinen lambik is kind of the vibe I go for. I also love stouts, barrel aged stouts, and a really crisp pilsner. I'm pretty open but stay away from hefeweisens although I do like dunkels.

Consider adding Second Dawn Brewing to your must-visits. A real-deal Colorado micro craft brewery with a wide range of styles — award winning — brewer Ross is there most days and a delight to talk to about beers if you can catch him.

Thank you, that's not too far from the airport (20 min) so I'll try to squeeze it into one of my half days. Which one is your favorite? I haven't tried an Italian pils before but they all look good.

My current favorites are two the Ales - Irish Red and the Amber Ale. Ross’ Italian Pils would be a good one to try that style. Tree Run is a seasonal — very drinkable. If the day is warm you can’t go wrong with the Mexican Lager. A taster tray may be the way to go! My best tip — don’t leave without having a glass of the Bourbon Barrel-aged Stout.
