Colorado and Nashville Beer Research, Sante Adairius Portraits and Evil Twin's Marshmallow Sour in "Foeder? I Hardly Know Her"
theunfilteredgentl
In Batch 471 of Craft Beer Republic, Greg recaps a week of Colorado beer research for his birthday, from Fort Collins to an Andrew McMahon show at Red Rocks, and Flex survives a one-day trip to Nashville with a $20 liter of Oktoberfest and a night at the Grand Ole Opry. Plus a wild-fermented saison from Sante Adairius, a five-star sour from Evil Twin, and a beach beer bottle the internet has a lot of thoughts about.
One Day in NashvilleFlex flew to Nashville and back in a single day for his daughter's birthday, starting with a 2:40 a.m. wake-up. The trip included the best breakfast buffet of his life at a Gaylord resort, a $20 liter of Paulaner Oktoberfest at the Bavarian Beer House, a rare Mountain Dew, Bearded Iris Homestyle and a Grand Ole Opry show with a surprise appearance from Carly Pearce.
A Week of Colorado Beer ResearchGreg's birthday trip started with first class mimosas and trivia at Fossil Brewing in Colorado Springs, plus an accidental stop at Urban Animal Brewing. In Denver, he hit Full Frame, Our Mutual Friend Brewing, where he recorded an interview with Jan, Odell and Bierstadt. In Fort Collins, he did the 90-minute New Belgium tour, poured a 1554 while everyone else went for juice bombs, and drank on the porch at Hello Brew Co.
The trip peaked with Andrew McMahon playing all three of his bands at Red Rocks with lightning behind the stage, followed by a Rockies game Greg attended to witness the worst team in baseball history.
A Beach Beer Bottle That Raised EyebrowsFontana Jim demanded this one: a Japanese design firm made a glass beer bottle shaped to stick into the sand at the beach. The internet noticed it looks like something else entirely, and an ER doctor's warning post says it all.
More Craft Beer NewsGoose Island revealed its 2025 Bourbon County Brand Stout lineup: Cherries Jubilee, Chocolate Praline, Double Barrel and a Reserve aged in Parker's Heritage Collection rye barrels. And a UK teacher was removed from the teaching registry after swigging from a bottle that smelled like booze and making her class dance the Macarena.
Beers We're Drinking
Flex: Evil Twin Brewing How to Train Your MarshmallowFlex is drinking How to Train Your Marshmallow from Evil Twin Brewing, a 5.1% sour with marshmallow, dragon fruit, passion fruit, key lime, sour cherry, pineapple, white grape and Concord grape that tastes like a handful of Skittles. He'd give it five out of five.
Greg: Sante Adairius Rustic Ales Portraits (Carignan)Greg is drinking Portraits (Carignan) from Sante Adairius Rustic Ales in Capitola, California, an 8.7% oak-aged mixed fermentation saison co-fermented with Carignan grapes, thanks to Non-Murderer John. It's legit sour, a little grapey and dangerously drinkable.
