This is the thirty-sixth in a series of installments that will highlight one of my favorite brews and which knits to go with it! None of the breweries or yarn companies are compensating me – these are just my opinions on my personal experiences!
Brew: Slope Style Winter IPA
Brewer: Boulder Beer
Malts:
Hops: Horizon
IBU:
Flavors: Full-bodied with a malty intro and a hoppy outro, this beer combines elements from a good red ale and your IPA needs into one brew.
Knit Pairings: This beer is perfect for winter drinking after a day at the slopes – cozy and filling. I suggest pairing it with a good wooly chunky knit with possibly some cables to add some cushy-ness or maybe you’re into stranded colorwork and want to make a classic ski cap with some seasonal motifs!
Notes:

Let me know what you think! Suggestions for future beers, more/different information to include, this is a work in progress so I won’t be offended by constructive advice!
Tried some Slope Style this past weekend at a beer tasting and it was pretty tasty to say the least!
Oh sounds fun! I love beer tastings 😀 What else did you get to sample?
You probably can’t get New Glarus beers all the way out there in Colorado huh? I would recommend Spotted Cow if you could get it.
I’ll certainly keep my eyes peeled! Maybe I can find some online to order or something…
You need to head over to the Boulder Beer brewery! When we were there in May, the tour was super informative and free with some tasty samples…I really like their Chocolate Shake beer 🙂
Ooh good suggestion! I’ve done quite a few tours in Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and surrounding areas but haven’t done the Boulder Beer tour yet. It’s on my list!
