I have no idea what this means
Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey is really a unique entry in the world of American Whiskeys. For starters, they previously had both Flying Dog and Oskar Blues create their mash before building their own brewery (just to produce mash for their whiskey). Their whiskey is also created using a variety of methods and custom equipment to cross the techniques of bourbon distillers and scotch distillers. Once finished with their barrels, they ship them to brewers all over the country and even as far away as Belgium. The Rackhouse Pub hosted a sampling of Wynkoop's new canned beers and had a great atmosphere decorated with used whiskey barrels.
Our brewery trip ended at Wynkoop for the Pints for Prostates Rare Beer Tasting. Since we were running a bit late, we arrived at the very end of the tasting and our selection was limited to what had not yet ran out. We weren't concerned, as great options such as 2009 Foothills Sexual Chocolate, 2004 Bell's Eccentric Ale, Barrel-aged Ivan the Terrible and Sierra Nevada Brandy Barrel-Aged Tripel were still left. After making our way through the rare beers, we tried a few of Wynkoop's rare beers, including a Belgian farmhouse ale fermented with 100% Brettanomyces and a barleywine from 2007. Both were great choices, but we had a beer festival we had to get to!
