Banquet is "project" beer. Working on the yard, painting the house, staining the deck - always keep some Banquet on hand. For years I avoided it because of the stigma of the macros. But there is a time and place for it and it's delicious in those moments.

When I was in Golden, CO and took the tour I was actually rather surprised at how good, "The Banquet of Beers" tasted from the brewery. I was hesitant to talk about going to breweries on another's page but that might be a great series of teaming up with breweries, visiting, tasting and promoting each other to fight against the big ones who fight amongst themselves...

It’s incredible to see such a wonderful product from a business that’s in such an explosive growth time to still take moments to connect with their followers. Bravo! Have you all ever considered a Kolsch taste test? I’ve tried so many local brewery Kolsch beers and even the imports and I find them all so unique and dynamic. I don’t think I’ve tried a Kolsch style ale that I’ve disliked ever. Also, if you guys are Beatles fans and would ever be interested, my brother hosts a podcast called Blotto Beatles where they have some beverages, discuss one Beatles song at a time and rank them. They’re local dudes too and I bet they’d love to add you to the brewery list of guests as they’ve had the Devils Purse guys and Sam Calagione on. Cheers!

There’s also something to be said for enjoying one of these beers after having a few craft beers. That’s for a couple of reasons. Sometimes you palate needs a break after drinking hazy IPAs, especially some of the extra soft, sweet and heavy-feeling ones. Also, drinking $8-$9 pints if you are out all night can get pretty expensive! Nothing wrong with downshifting to a less expensive lager. I’m a firm believer that every bar, even craft beer-focused bars, need to have at least one inexpensive beer on tap or in cans.
