Over Yonder's Phish Dick's Countdown Extravaganza!
Wednesday, August 28
Over Yonder Brewing
18455 West Colfax Avenue, Golden
Over Yonder, which fully embraces its love of the jam-band scene, will release its final two special beers before Phish plays its annual run at Dick's Sporting Goods Park over Labor Day weekend. The release is "Day 0" of the festival, the day before music begins, and includes a D6 NEIPA, which is the 17th version of this rotating hop beer. The beer includes Nectaron, El Dorado and Riwaka hops. The beer is named after one of Page McConnell's keyboards, the Hohner Clavinet D6. The second beer is called Stairway to the Stars, a hazy double IPA with Galaxy, Citra and Mosaic hops. Over Yonder says that it will "elevate you to the stars."
Palisade Brewing has a seasonal DIPA beer called Let it Grow. Pictured is the upcoming fall variant.

From the Brewery: Seasonal double IPA.
From the Glass: Fruity, with some orange citrus and tea-like flavors. A toasty malt component provides a bit of balance to the higher alcohol, but make no mistake — this beer drinks a lot lighter than it is listed. A touch of caramel hits the palate as it warms, but it's on and off the tongue quickly, making it a pleasant piece of depth in a well-structured beer.
Availability: On draft and in cans at the brewery (200 Peach Avenue in Palisade)
