Have you had any of the Casey fruit stands? Those sound great but I get the impression they're pretty limited.

You have to drive to Glenwood Springs (about 2.5 hrs with no traffic or snow) on the first Saturday of each month and wait in line for about 3-4 hours to get bottles of them. I ain't doing that, they are great beers and I really like like em but 5 hrs round trip on a good day which could easily turn into 8-9 with snow or ski traffic then stand in line for 3-4 hours sober because he doesn't allow drinking outside to purchase beer... frick all of that. Luckily I know people who feel differently so I get to try em and they are great but not worth the hassle. Also, you don't know the allotment before hand, he decides that by the line size, so you may go through all that and only be able to buy 1 bottle. Or you could arrive too late and get no bottles at all. Did I mention it is in Glenwood Springs so you would have to leave Denver at 530 to get there at 8am to be the 30 in line?
