Castle Rock Has a New Brewery!!!!!

Why are we so excited? Because we live here!!!!! AND the beers are great - we loved every single one of them. Their brewing philosophy is to create "session" beers. Session beers are brews made for delightful, pleasant imbibing over a session of socializing and enjoyment with friends, much like the culture in the British Isles. Colorado has such a thriving microbrewery scene that many of the breweries are competing with each other to come up with the most outrageous styles or highest alcohol content. We love the English libations they make because they are SOOO drinkable and easy to love. No pyrotechnics, just some extremely well done beers like Bob's favorite, the Golden IPA, which had some hoppiness but very well balanced. I really loved the Scottish ale, and the Brown Porter - a perfect amount of smoke and roast, but not overpowering. This is the essence of their concept - nothing to extremes, just deftness and finesse. Each beer is a pleasure. And there will of course, be firkins with some creative ideas weekly just for variety.- Rose
