Corey Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 How is the snow in Aspen? I see a daytime high of 64*F and an overnight low of 37*F on Thursday! Will there be any snow left? Locally, our season is over once it gets up to a daytime high of 40*F. There are huge rivers running down the hill and all kinds of mud rising to the surface. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queequeg Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I imagine a few people are bringing down some video cameras. I'll try and bring mine - if I can revive the battery...

Guest Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 For thos of you who are beer fans, I just finished putting together the beer list at the new restaurant I'm working at: Beer list: Within each country, the beers are listed from lightest to heaviest. Got any questions? Feel free to ask us anything. Belgium: -Cantillon Gueuze- A blend of old and young Lambics; tart, earthy, funky, awesome. 5% abv -Oud Beersel Framboise- Wow. Best framboise ever. A very traditional, tart, raspberry lambic, this is a sexy beer. 6% abv -Saison Dupont- Ripe fruit, barnyard funk and a chalky, yeasty herbaceousness combine for a perfect farmhouse ale. 6.5% abv -de Ranke XX Bitter- A hoppier Belgian brew, with tropical and citrus fruit hiding behind the earthy, hoppy goodness. 6.2% abv -Orval- The "Queen of Trappist Ales" has a beautiful earthy complexity, and has been made since the 1100's. It's just that good. 6.9% abv -La Chouffe- Champagne-like mouthfeel is the hallmark of this big, bold, yet subtle Strong Pale Ale. 8% abv -Duvel- Yeasty, musty, fruity and refreshing. One of the Belgian classics. 8.5% abv -Delerium Tremens- Fresh, medium-bodied and fruity, with enticing, lingering brown baking spices. 9% abv -St. Bernardus Tripel- Uber-malty, balanced fruit, and this crazy buttery/toffee/carmel subtlety combine for a rocking Abbey ale. 8% abv C-himay Grande Reserve (Blue Label)- Dark, brooding and mysterious, with woodsy floral craziness. 9% abv France: -Bieres 23 Ambree- Amber in color, with rich fruit up front that expands exponentially on the palate, finishing with a peppery, sous bois funk. 5% abv -La Bavaisienne- Rustic, yet approachable. Juicy fruit, and a chalky, slightly bitter finish. A perfect food beer. 7% abv -Belzebuth- Hoo boy... Drunk and candied fruit dominate the nose, with a clean, spicy sweetness on the finish. Watch yourself... 13% abv Britain: -Fuller's ESB- Caramel notes and a malty palate define the "World's Original Extra Special Bitter." 5.9% abv -Traquair House Scotch Ale- Rich and complex, fig, caramel and earth notes come in waves across the palate. 7.2% abv -Thomas Hardy's Ale- "The rarest ale in Britain." Insanely aromatic, with stewed fruits and spice, this is the Port of beers. Oh yeah. 11.9% abv North America, Belgian Style: -Avery White Rascal- A light-bodied, subtle witbier, with only a touch of citric hoppiness. 5.5% abv -Allagash White- Smooth, yet crisp, with the lemon and orange peel coming to the forefront. A classic witbier. 5% abv -Unibroue Don de Dieu- Clover honey and ripe stone fruit are the hallmarks in this complex, subtle, fantastic brew. 9% abv -Ommegang Three Philosophers- Rich, dark, caramelly and malty. Think chocolate covered cherries in liquid form. So good. 9.8% abv United States: -Amstel Light- It's a light beer. One of the better light beers, but again, a light beer. 3.5% abv -Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale- A very unique, light, nutty buckwheat ale. Very food friendly, especially with fish dishes. 4.8% abv -J.K. Scrumpy's Hard Cider- Best. Cider. Ever. All the musty, apple-y goodness you want from a cider, but not sickeningly sweet. 5.5% abv -Coors- A tasty American Lager with more flavor than its competitors. 5% abv -Victory Prima Pils- Spicy and floral hops are at the forefront of this pilsner, but by no means do they overpower. 5.3% abv -Anchor Steam- A California classic. Very well balanced, with caramel notes and a great fruit character. 4.9% abv -Rogue Dead Guy- Goes down way too easily. Toasted malt and bitter hops are impeccably balanced. 6.5% abv -Stone Ruination IPA- Wow. Smooth, with most of the hop flavor in aromatics, not bitterness. Beastly. 7.7% abv -Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA- Hops hops hops. Citric, herbal and piney hop notes dominate this Imperial IPA. 9% abv -Avery The Czar- A delicious Imperial Stout with all the roasted malt you would expect, and super creamy to boot. 12.2% abv -Dogfish Head Palo Santo Maron- Aged in massive Palo Santo wood barrels, this dark amber beer is bold, yet balanced. 12% abv -Victory Old Horizontal Barleywine- Creamy, smooth, almost chewy. Malt character runs the gamut. Yowza. 11% abv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
