CAUTION’s new home in Lakewood is OPEN!
Congrats to Danny & Betty Wang on officially opening their doors yesterday. Stop by to check out their new tasting room and covered patio. CAUTION Lakewood is located at: 1057 S Wadsworth Blvd, Unit 60, Lakewood, CO 80226.
Black Shirt Brewing’s got a nice new brewhouse and they’re using it to launch India Red Porter | Track #1.
Here’s the deets straight from BSB:
Style – India Red Porter [our own terminology] but brewed in the style of a Cascadian Dark Ale or Black IPA
ABV – 7.70%
IBUs – 80
SRM – 24
Hops: Centennial, Zythos, and Chinook in the boil | Chinook and Simcoe dry-hop
Malts: Colorado Pale, Crystal, Munich, Victory, Pale Chocolate, Black, and Roasted Barley
Tasting Notes: Pungent and resinous pine and bright citrus aroma, with a rich, roasty, and dark chocolate mouthfeel, finishing with a dry, and aggressive bitterness. The complexity of this beer is truly experienced as you drink a full glass of it. The enormous hop bite of the beer tends to fade back as your palate adjusts to it, and the softer and more subtle caramel and milk chocolate undertones in the body come forward. This rounds the beer out, refreshes the palate, and makes you crave another. Our India Red Porter is a true nod to the snowy Colorado winter and a plea for more of the same!
Get on over and try some today. Black Shirt Brewing is located at: 3719 Walnut St, Denver, CO 80205. 303-993-2799.
Time for a tasty little menu board update from Lone Tree Brewing Company. Stop by to try some yummy seasonals like their Russian Imperial Stout, Coffee Stout, Black IPA and more.
