Great Divide Brewing Tap Room

1st stop on the my magical mystery Denver beer and ski tour was the Great Divide Brewing Tap Room near downtown Denver. Pretty east place to find, lots of on street parking around. We got there about 3pm on a Friday and the place was already pretty packed out. Nice tap room, good looking bar in the front with a few tables and a view of the brewery in the back. Beer was ridiculously cheap. I got the Smoked Baltic Porter and my buddy got the Espresso Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout. I think they were both $3?!?! Both beers were awesome. Smoked Baltic Porter may be my new favorite type of beer. First one I had was Left Hand Brewing's Fade to Black #2 last year. The Great Divide take on the style is amazing. Dark, smooth, just a bit smokey, a tahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifd spicy at the end. Wow, pure love in a glass. Have to start messing around with lager yeast now so I can clone one of these. We skipped the brewery tour since we had several other stops. We did great a growler of the Smoked Baltic Porter to go, fills were about $8 and the growler was around $5. A great little place and was the perfect kick off to the rest of our day.
