PD’s own dissect beer. Leave the pretentiousness on the curb.
WeldWerks Brewing Co. | Hubba Hubba Peanut Budda
January 25, 2022 | Darren CockrellDon those blue suede shoes, warm up those rubber legs and get ready to rock n’ roll because the King is back! Immortalized in Stout form, Greeley, Colorado’s WeldWerks Brewing Co.’s newest tribute to Elvis Presley is inspired by the king of rock n’ roll’s favorite lunch: the peanut butter and banana sandwich. This gooey, sticky and satisfying beer will hit you right in right in the nostalgia olfactory with its balanced flavors and pompadour nose.
Rohrbach Brewing Company | Space Kitty Citra DIPA
January 24, 2022 | Aimee RossiLet me take you back to the year 1991; John and Patty Urlaub opened the very first craft brewery in Rochester, NY. Taking inspiration from a small town in Germany, Rohrbach Brewing Company quickly became a staple in Central New York’s craft beer scene. You’ll always be able to find their classics on tap along with trendy and new seasonal brews!

January 19, 2022 | Scott GrossmanPeanut butter fans will find a lot to love in Downhill Brewing Saturday Nut Fever Peanut Butter Brown.

Foeder-Aged Ales at Pathlight Brewing
January 17, 2022 | Katie CamlinA glance at the Pathlight Brewing tap list reveals an impressive variety: ranging from an English Dark Mild, to a milkshake IPA called $ugar DaddY, to wild ales with wine grapes. Brewers Tanner Vaughn and David Harris strive to make “a little bit of everything.” The menu has something for every beer drinker.
Acopon Brewing | Hans Trapp Russian Imperial Stout
January 14, 2022 | Ruvani de SilvaFor the past four years, residents of and visitors to the Texas Hill Country have had a privilege rarely bestowed on American beer drinkers — the opportunity to enjoy freshly brewed English-style beers served on cask at the singular Acopon Brewing taproom in Dripping Springs TX. While their beautifully delivered flagship Homunculus Dark Mild Ale and Gaspipes ESB continue to draw in both cask-curious and happily acclimated patrons from season to season, at this time of year there is another very good reason to make a trip to Acopon — the annual release of their Hans Trapp BBA Russian Imperial Stout.
Sly Fox Brewing Co. | Helles Golden Lager
January 12, 2022 | Kurt BevilacquaThis is one for the lovers of classic styles. The ones who appreciate restraint yet quality. This is Sly Fox Helles Golden Lager – a clean and crisp rendition of the German-style lager that stays true to form. While innovation is always exciting, there is beauty in simplistic that is just as worthy as praising.
Ørkenoy | Django Pennsylvania Grodziskie
January 10, 2022 | Rachel MorrisonOften times, smoked beers can offer similar notes and flavors to beef jerky. Separately, both incredible things; combined, not my cup of tea (or beer). Thankfully, no two iterations of any beer style are the same. Enter Django Pennsylvania, a Grodziskie style beer brewed by Ørkenoy in Chicago, IL in collaboration with Live Oak Brewing out of Austin, TX. A Grodziskie is a traditional Polish style, which is a very light, smoky beer, brewed with 100% wheat malt.
Dry Dock Brewing | New Year, New Brut
January 7, 2022 | Scott GrossmanJust in time for the new year, Dry Dock Brewing in Aurora, Colorado, has released their New Year, New Brut Champagne-style beer. This clear and fresh beer offers hope that maybe 2022 can start with a clean slate. Read More
Parleaux Beer Lab | Alternative Modes (Pale Lager)
January 5, 2022 | Katie de la RosaAlternative Modes is the name of one of Parleaux Beer Lab’s popular Lagers, but it could also just as easily double as the mantra the 5-year-old New Orleans brewery uses in their approach to brewing.
Shades Brewing | Kveik 1 American-Style Golden Sour Ale
January 3, 2022 | Tim HaranIt’s not a stretch to say yeast helped Shades Brewing make its mark. Specifically, the South Salt Lake, UT brewery utilized a strain of kveik — an ancient Norwegian farmhouse brewing yeast — to cement its place in craft beer.
Launch Pad Brewery | Joint Activities Baltic Porter
December 29, 2021 | Scott GrossmanIt’s the season for big, robust beers and Launch Pad Brewing Joint Activities Baltic Porter certainly fits that bill. With rich, dark roast-malt flavor and an ABV of 9% this brew will see you through the coldest days of January.
Ursula Brewery | Xocolatl Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout
December 28, 2021 | Lindsay SimpsonIt can be hard to stand out amidst the endless number of breweries in Colorado. Ursula Brewery in Aurora may not be on your beer radar, but it should be. They have been working since 2016 to perfect their brews. They boast a dog-friendly taproom and give back to the community through events like clothing drives. In the taproom, you will find a variety of beers, but one that deserves extra attention is the Xocolatl Mexican Hot Chocolate Imperial Stout.

Side Project Brewing | M.J.K. Barleywine
December 22, 2021 | Eric GriffinIt is so difficult to address the true outcome of a beer so heavily shrouded by hype. It’s no secret to the craft beer community that Side Project Brewing boasts one of, if not the best, barrel programs in the world. Even the likes of M.J.K., a beer representing the culmination of their barleywine production, finds itself constantly under scrutiny, for the most part by those who will never actually have a chance to try it themselves. Again provided with an incredibly rare opportunity to open yet another La Coterie exclusive bottle, M.J.K. was one in particular that needed a showcase.
4 Noses Brewing Co. | El Jefe Con Leche
December 21, 2021 | Darren CockrellAs the days grow thin and our waistlines grow out, is there anything more synonymous with winter than dark beer? Love them or hate them, the dark malty goodness of Imperial Stouts are a staple for cold weather indulgence.

West Sixth Brewing & Bulleit Bourbon | Bourbon Barrel Brownie
December 17, 2021 | Jereme ZimmermanThere’s a new Bourbon Barrel Ale on the block. Kentucky’s West Sixth Brewing and Bulleit Distilling Co. have teamed up to create Bourbon Barrel Brownie, an Imperial Brown Ale aged in Bulleit Bourbon barrels.
Brothers Craft Brewing | Doppelbock
December 15, 2021 | Scott JohnsonThe Doppelbock is a criminally underrated beer style. While many German styles are known for their simplicity, Doppelbocks take the love of grain into overdrive by emphasizing on layers of malty sweetness. Thanks to their alcohol content and variable grain bill, Doppelbocks are allowed to have a bit more expression from the brewery. That’s why Spaten Doppelbock leans more caramel-y whereas Tröegs Troegenator is more savory and fruit-forward. Where Brothers Craft Brewing re-invents the Doppelbock comes from a particular infusion of a very special wood.
