Bdawg says:  On a recent trip to Colorado, I was fortunate enough to be able to visit a brewery that makes one of my all-time favorite beers.  (And I ain't talking about Coors lite!)



A sampling of some of their specialty beers:  Pink Peppercorn IPA, Cocoa Mole,
Lost Abbey Collabaration, and my very favorite...Bierre de Mars.

I tried all 10 of their "Lips of Faith" beers, which are their specialty beers.  Typically they are sold in 22 oz. bombers.  I was able to sample each of them straight from the tap 5 oz at a time.Here are my scores:

La Follie (Sour Brown ale) - 3
Bierre de Mars (ale brewed with spices) - 4
Tart Lychee (American wild) - 3
Pink Peppercorn IPA (IPA) - 3
Cocoa Mole (Ale with Cocoa and spices) - 2
Lost Abbey Collaboration (Belgium Style Ale) - 3
Ken's Hefe (Heffeweizen)  - 3
Valentine Ale (Pink Pomegranite) - 3
Cascadian Dubbel (Black IPA) - 3
Billy Beer (American Heffeweizen) - 3.5

This was a really cool place with a laid back neat vibe.  Everything about the experience was fantastic!
