Craft Beers

Microbrews are the only type of alcohol that I crave purely for the flavor and not for the resulting buzz.   Not all beers were created equal, however.   Most beers are, how to put this delicately - like piss water.   Check out RateBeer.com for a worldwide list of beer ratings and some of the top-rated beers.  Here's some of my personal favorites.
 

Bell's (Kalamazoo Brewing Company)

Simply the best beers in the world.  Brewed in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  Unfortunately, the distribution is limited to 13 states, none of which include Colorado.

Bell's Oberon - a hoppy-infused wheat beer.  Zing!
Bell's Kalamazoo Stout - a classic robust stout. Rated 74th best beer in the world.
Bell's Expedition Stout - a super strong powerful flavorful stout.  Rated 10th best beer in the world


Mountain Sun

Awesome strong brews, great prices, great food, great company, nestled in a great city (Boulder, CO).  What else do you need? Some of the beers are available on nitro which gives them a creamier flavor.

Colorado Kind - The hops hits hard!
Java Porter - Creamy flavor with a hint of coffee.  Yum!
 

Oskar Blues

Award-winning beers, plus the first craft brewer to brew in cans.  Dale's Pale Ale is by far the best canned beer I've ever had.   Plus, the brewery is conveniently located on the way to the Rocky Mountains.

Dale's Pale Ale - A canned beer rated higher than 95% of the beers in the world?  Is it so?


Sprecher

One of the finest of Wisconsin's countless breweries.

Black Bavarian - A German name with German quality.
