Summer  SEASONAL BEER

BEER ME!

Summer Seasonals are usually light in style-so they can be consumed easily and as refreshment. Some of these delightful beers can be enticed with lemon or lime juice to add to the flavor, such as a wheat beer. Other seasonals have a rich malty or fruity flavor such as a belgium style beer. Now available at COLORADO LIQUOR are these summer seaonal beers. (pictured and descibed to the right) Please come on by and enjoy!!

BOULEVARD WHEAT
This is an unfiltered American style Wheat beer. It is a lively, refreshing ale with a naturally citrusy flavor and distinctive cloudy appearance.

FLASHBACK ANNIVERSARY ALE-An indian brown ale from Boulder Brewery, this beer is citrusy with a clean finish. The biscut and chocolate malts add dark roasted flavors.

SUMMER SHANDY
Get a taste of the freshest flavor under the sun–Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy. A Shandy is a lemonade flavored beer, a Europeon favorite during the warmer months.Each batch is carefully brewed using the finest wheat, malted barley, and just a hint of honey. Then fresh lemonade and citrus flavors are added. A Summer refresher!!

SUNRYE FROM REDHOOK
Light and refreshing, this ale is brewed with six barley malts and a light rye. This ale is somewhere between a classic lager and Redhook Blonde.

First the atmosphere there is kinda perfect, lots of big TV’s to watch no matter where you sit in the bar and you can seat yourself there.  My wife likes to sit right in front of the big stone fireplace that separates the dining room from the bar area.  There are also pool tables behind the biggest screen and that area ALSO has TV’s. The food there is great with a few notable must trys including the stuffed garlic knots and the jalapeno soup.  They not only brew beer but also make homemade root beer and cream soda if you have kids along with you.

Note the Bronco Horse over the Bar!

She was the same as most women that the article below  talks about. She grew up here in Colorado so Coors Light in a keg that was warm and flat at Castlewood Canyon was her introduction to beer.  Que my bitter beer face Seriously.. THAT type of beer is only loved by hormone laced 15-18 high school boys … it does NOT taste good.. also the calorie content of the heavier brews was a worry.. what lady wants a beer gut? The whole persona of women that drink beer have to be Harley Chicks..   So here is how she came to enjoy beer.

The FLIGHT method!  We just finished up a Southwestern road trip where breweries abound!  We found this great Mainstreet Restaurant/Bar where you could just tell all the locals hang out.  She knows I like flights and she suggested it right off.  So the beer comes and one of them has a slice of lemon in it.  The one beer she does like is Blue Moon on Tap with the slice of orange so I asked her to taste it as see.  She LOVED it.. WOW… a shocker.. after this tiny bit of trust was built up she started tasting more… she found she liked the porter (she read it had chocolate in it)   The whole flight idea was a hit! I think this appealed to her because it’s the same way she learned to appreciate wine other than White Zin which now neither of us even consider WINE!

Instead of ordering us both a big glass of beer, we now get a flight with all of the offerings of the bar.  This seemed to make it fun and she didn’t have to feel guilty about ordering a glass, drinking one sip, hating it and having to finish it or pawn it off on me.  The little taster glasses are just perfect for the lady in my life.  Now she even SUGGESTS going to breweries she see’s to have a beer sampler and some nacho’s. The best part is, if we each get a flight, i get to drink all the brews she doesn’t like!!!  GOD I love my wife!

I Wish My Girlfriend Liked Beer
Getting your girlfriend to like beer may be easier than you think. You may just have to think about the problem a little differently.
