Welcome to the Colorado Beer Beat, a bi-weekly roundup of all of the new can releases around the state. From Denver to Grand Junction and everywhere in between, we have you covered. Be sure to check back on Thursdays to find out what’s new in the Colorado beer scene.

Well, well, well…here we are in December already. It’s crazy to think that I’ll be telling you about New Years’ Eve releases after our next chat! Luckily for all of us, we still have a few weeks before we’ll really be paying attention to that. But, enough of the New Year’s Eve talk, let’s get to the here and now! If you’re looking for a new Barrel-Aged beer to try, there’s no shortage at all in these new releases. Pick one up this week to keep yourself warm on a chilly evening (or not so chilly evening; the weather is a bit warm after all).
