OK, this year I’m venturing out of TP! :lol How was their ginger beer?
:festivarian
very good and fresh. He was literally grating ginger while we were sampling. ha
Here’s what I’ll be bringing to share if we can get together. I think meeting at the brewery might be a great idea!! I know our local breweries, and beer pubs are down with folks bringing bottles unavailable in the area to share, as long as your purchasing beers too.
Marshall Brewing Co.- El Cucuy Black IPA
Marshall Brewing Co.- This Machine, Belgian IPA
Prairie Artisan Ales- Elizebeth, Midwest Farmhouse
Prairie Artisan Ales- Americana, Dry Hopped Farmhouse
Willows Family Ales- Funk in the Trunk, Farmhouse with Citra and Brett
Willows Family Ales- Bump N Grind, Farmhouse with Coffee
Roughtail Brewery- IPA
COOP Brewing- Alpha Hive, Honey IPA
COOP Brewing- Barrel Aged DNR with Cherries
While there is no end of breweries sprouting up along the Front Range, my favorite place for great beer is Prost Brewery. Great German beers, and they imported their whole brewing system from Germany. I’ll be sure to bring a good sampling from them. Along with a great range of IPA’s and ales from more local brewers.

That sounds incredible! We’ve got one very traditional German Brewery in Montana. Both the owner and brewer are German transplants to Montana and they brew strictly according to Reinheitsgebot. I’ll be bringing plenty of their brews down.
Sugar is that Bayern Brewing? And if so … how’s their St. Wilbur? Love the unfiltered wheats!
It is, indeed! St Wilbur is a phenomenal beer, though I’d recommend Dragon’s Breath Dark Heff if you’re looking for a good wheat beer that’s a little different from what you can typically find in the US.
HS, what kind of beer is the breath of dragon?
Sounds like we’ll have an early Oktoberfest in TP! :cheers I’m hoping to fill a growler with their Pils. About the best beer to drink in summertime. Looking forward to sharing all these great brews.
A lot of places here will can beers off tap while you wait, so I’m hoping to make the rounds before heading to higher ground.
I haven’t been to TBF in over ten years - don’t think the brewery and distillery were there at that time (or am I wrong?). I’m going to have to get back one of these years!
TBum, looking forward to it! :thumbsup
:cheers
It’s a Dark Heff, otherwise known as a Dunkelweissen.
Dunkel or Weissenbock are my faves! Sounds tasty. :cheers
Any thoughts on when/where we want to have this TBF (Telluride Beer Fest)? And yes, I’m avoiding work, so thinking about what I’m going to be doing in Telluride is a much more prevalent way to spend my day. 
Such a rad idea! We live in Denver and will scour for lesser known brews to bring. Camping in Mary E. and won’t be there until late Tuesday night, so we’ll have to limit our sharing to our campground - but we’re in!
In the past we’ve had a beer tasting event on Tuesday at noon near the bath house. Does anyone have an extra EZ-up or two they can set up there to keep the sun off the beer?
:cheers
Double T,
During pre-fest I do not think it will be a problem at all. Our camp should have an extra or two. If this were to happen on Tuesday, the worst case scenario is we would just need them back by 3ish or so to set up for the Duk Tape Happy Hour at 4pm.
I like this idea!! :cheers
I’m down for Tuesday noon
