Elite Scores

The Wine Enthusiast Magazine Top 25 Beers of the Year list has hit the street.

The good news:  Several Elite represented breweries  made the list--comprising 36% of the total.
The bad news: Some of the beers listed are rare and limited and not available in Colorado. The highlights are:

3. The Bruery Orchard White
8.  Lost Abbey Cuvee de Tomme *
9. Nogne-O/Stone/Jolly Pumpkin Collaboration  (available in CO, but we're sold out).
10.  Russian River Beatification *
11.  Blaugie La Moneuse Saison - (available via pre-order).
12.  Lost Abbey Duck Duck Gooze (top lambic at GABF) *
13. St. Bernardus Witbier
17. Jolly Pumpkin Bam Biere
19. Caracole Nostradamus

* Sorry, rare/limited and not currently available in Colorado.

We'd also like to give a shout to our Colorado homies Left Hand and Avery who also made the list.
These are all great producers, so be sure to check out their entire beer rosters.
