Touchdown Brewery Tours

This is the Touchdown Brewery Tour Blog. As I visit breweries, I will post comments and photos detailing my experience. I lean towards Hoppy beers, but love all beer (American Premium Lagers are not beer) and will try to give actual comments rather then just a numeric scale. An ideal brewery is one where I feel comforatble in a jersey and jeans, from this sweet spot all establishments will be reviewed. I hope you enjoy - Jeff

Nine Beer sampler, $5.50 usually 6, but they were happy to bring out the casks and seasonals.
Lumpy Dog, Light Lager - Chick Beer.
Buffalo Gold, Nice golden ale, good mouth feel. Little hops.
16th Street Wheat. American Wheat Beer, nice and light a training wheel beer. Not my favorite style.
Falcon Pale Ale. Hops is present through out beer. Piney taste, a little citrus as well. Malt is pleasant and balanced to a dry finish. Good beer, best common ground for non-hop-heads.
Red Rocks Red, Irish Style Red. Dry finish, would like a little more spice like Smithwicks or sweeter like Killians, this one hits the middle. Ok beer.
Molly�s Titanic Brown Ale. Dry finish like the rest. Apparent chocolate flavors with a nice hop balance. Very good brown\mild ale.
Brewmaster�s Oatmeal Stout. Must be the same yeast as others, as the beer finishes dry for style. The beer has enough chocolate and roast to pull off an excellent balance. Oatmeal smoothes out the mouth-feel and finish. The dry finish makes the beer feel a little �thin� for the style.
Cask Molly�s. Cask dampens dryness and makes this an excellent beer. The warmth causes the beer to open up and . Hops come to the fore-front , and it finishes with much more mouthfeel then its CO2 cousin.
Denver Steam. Good hops and caramel color. Crystal malts come through in body and malty flavor. Not as hoppy as its San Francisco cousin, but this beer offer piney hops and malty under tones.
