I am a big fan of this beer. I like Great Divide's "signature maltiness", as we call it here.

The 90 minute is my favorite. I am a hophead, but the 120 is too much for my tastes.

FBD was a Red Brick Dog Days Ale. Not half bad. Supposed to be a Hefe, but it doesn't fit the style. More like a Belgian golden ale. Very drinkable. I enjoyed it.

SBD is an Endeavor. I have commented on their bottle variation issues, but I'd never gotten one that was really bad. Most were great and some were just OK. Well, this one is way off. It smells and tastes like medicine.

ETA: it got the tetu treatment

Avery and Sixpoint make good IPAs and DIPAs. And like Glock said, Oskar Blues is available in TX. Their G'Knight is great. Their stout, Ten Fidy, is awesome.

You can't go wrong with that plan, but you should buy some Sixpoint Resin if you see it.

Wise words.
