Yet while Coloradans consume an average of 30 gallons of beer each year, not every drop is always as good as the last. That’s a problem for the consumer, of course. But it’s a much bigger problem for the brewers, potentially forcing them to issue a recall that can easily cost much more than lost inventory.

The standout is their Propaganda IPA. Propaganda has the malty backbone of a traditional English style IPA yet boasts the citrus and pine qualities found in west coast IPA’s, resulting in a well balanced and approachable beer. I can easily sit down to five or six pints without completely destroying my palate.

The Artwork of Grimm Brothers Brewing

July 20, 2016 Guest User

Stories well-told mesmerize us like the fires they’re frequently told around. We crave stories that entertain and enlighten, that amuse and scare, or that are parables we can learn from.

In many ways, storytelling is what separates us from the animals.
