So I'm big fan of trying them, especially when I go to places like Old Chicago. Last weekend tried one called 'Samuel Smith's organic chocolate stout' it was AMAZING! I'm a fan of stouts but holy crap! my wife hates stouts and she even liked it! I looked online and the only store I found that sold it in Colorado was in Denver so i'm gonna have to make a trip!

tried a Shock Top Shandy. It was basically a summer shandy, but even fruitier.

Just like you were saying, Soldier. My wife, who doesnt drink beer, even found it palatable. i find myself trying more fruity tasting beers...for my wife's sake. lol.

Swing by brotha!! When you comin' up?
There's a bad-ass beer garden on the old Lowry AFB (www.lowrybeergarden.com/‎)and Dry Dock brewing (www.drydockbrewing.com/‎)in Aurora has an amazing Apricot Blonde Ale.

See if your local Old Chicago has #88 on their menu - Xingu black beer from Brazil (www.xingubeer.com/). It's so delicious you'll compare every other beer you ever drink to it (no, it's not bitter and nasty like so many dark brews).

I've never been a fan of Leiny... Hit up the Hoffbrauhaus and the Augustiener when I was in Munich back in June - so awesome... Ein dunkel!!
HOffbrau definitely had the better atmosphere, Augustiener had the better beer and food though.
