This Friday will be a very special double tapping party featuring amazing small batch beers from Great Divide. Also something of note, we will be hosting bottle parties throughout the week going forward, so be on the look out.
First off is Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout, one of my personal all-time favorites! The combination of chocolate and cayenne pepper is absolutely irresistible. Brewery description: "We toned down the hops a bit to allow cocoa nibs to contribute some pleasing bitterness, while vanilla notes from the oak combine with the cocoa to create an aroma and flavor akin to a gourmet chocolate bar. A dash of cayenne keeps things lively, adding just a bit of heat to the finish. A Yeti for summer? Hell yes. 9.5% ABV."

Second is the 16th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA, a wonderfully hoppy yet malty offering with fantastic vanilla notes from the oak. Brewery description: "Based on our most award-winning beer, Denver Pale Ale, this copper-hued treat is a celebration of everything Great Divide does best. Plenty of malty sweetness provides a backdrop for earthy, floral English and American hops, while French and American oak round off the edges and provide a touch of vanilla. Thanks to everyone who's supported us for the last 16 years - here’s to 16 more! 10.0% ABV."
