When the Best Beers Go Unnoticed...

Today I found myself at the liquor store in search of something new and different when Boulder Beer's Singletrack Copper Ale caught my attention. I have to admit that over the years I have passed over this particular brew dozens of times, probably because it lives right next to Karma Belgian Pale Ale and below New Belgium's... everything. But, no matter how many times I have ignored this brew, today it won my attention.

First I thought... what the hell is a 'copper ale'? Like I have said before, I LOVE BEER, I love it with all of my heart, but I am not the kind of girl that worries much about the proper beer terminology (I am the beer blogger for the average beer drinker). And *a little education* copper ale is 'an ale which is aged in oak casks to obtain its beautiful copper color and its unique wine-like taste' and the Boulder Beer site says 'Singletrack is refreshing yet full flavored; a medium bodied Copper Ale. Not too light and not too dark'... look at me using proper 'beer terminology'. And i won't lie, I usually like to taste my newest brews at a beer festival... it doesn't require a commitment and I have been told several times 'I have never met anyone so afraid of committing to anything'. But yet I still bought the six-pack. First drink my reaction was 'that is a little bitter for me' but just a few sips later, Singletrack was added to my list of go-to beers. I almost even regret passing it over all the times that I have.

And because I support all things Colorado, this is my Colorado Tunes Spotify playlist, Good Tunes! I live in a 'Small Town Colorado' and apparently that means 'we have nothing to do besides be creative' because, really what else is there to do, and there are plenty of musicians that come from my corner of Colorado and plenty of other 'small towns' in the great CO!

So, spotify users, check out my 'Colorado Tunes Playlist'
