Let’s be real for a second, just you and me. That resolution you made to quit drinking beer, was pretty cute for a while. But it’s nearly February and the charade is over. Luck for you the arrival of February also signals the glorious return Mountain Sun’s Stout Month, one of the most heralded of Colorado beer traditions.

Each year in February, the Mountain Sun family of brewpubs showcases a highly decorated array of house made stouts in addition to an all-star cast of guest stouts. One major change to this year’s Stout Month is the exclusion of a homebrew competition winner, however that element was replaced to make room for 6 brand new house created stouts which joins the 29 house stouts on tap for the month and the 31 guest taps dedicated to the dark and roasty.

“Every year trying to get all of our favorite stouts brewed is difficult due to time/space constraints. Believe it or not, we typically have to decide what’s NOT going to be brewed for Stout Month,” said John Fiorilli, head brewer for Mountain Sun’s family of brew pubs. “On top of that, our brewery team of eight constantly has new beer/stout ideas and it’s tough for them to materialize when we’re brewing other people’s recipes every year.”

This year the Mountain Sun Pubs had their largest production year on record, churning out 107 unique brands in 2015.

For a full history on Mountain Sun’s illustrious Stout Month history, check out our original post where I sat down with John Fiorilli and dialed the clock back on Stout Month’s humble beginnings. However for all of those beer nerds out there, lets cut to the chase. Here’s the initial rundown on the 2016 Mountain Sun Stout Month Lineup! (As this lineup changes we’ll keep updating this post so bookmark this page and check back frequently)
