Verboten gives you A Million Reasons to try this beer

(Editor’s Note from Don: Loved the idea for the article. Have 200 words on my desk by noon.)

Verboten Brewing & Barrel Project has really outdone themselves this time. This award-winning craft brewery from Loveland, Colorado recently released A Million Reasons, a Bourbon barrel-aged golden ale accented with cherries and orange.

Where else would a beer inspired by the classic Old Fashioned cocktail take its name than from Mad Men’s own legendary Don Draper?

Draper once said, “When a man walks into a room, he brings his whole life with him. He has a million reasons for being anywhere, just ask him…”

Verboten begins by taking their Golden Ale then aging it for six months in Bourbon barrels. At the end of that aging period, the beer is blended at cask strength and brewhouse-made Luxardo cherries and orange peel are added. The delicious end result is 8.0% alcohol by volume with 19 IBUs.

Just in time for this year’s Great American Beer Festival week, A Million Reasons is available on draft at their tasting room in Loveland, and locally in bottles at better beer retailers, like Wyatt’s Wet Goods, who strive to bring you the newest releases and hundreds of options for both the beer connoisseur and the casual drinker.

Saturday Tasting – Z. Alexander Brown Wines & Atom Brewery

This Saturday, September 30, Wyatt’s is offering a free tasting of Z. Alexander Brown Wines and Atom Brewing of Erie.

The brainchild of musician and wine lover Zac Brown, Z. Alexander Brown wines are the reward of relentless commitment and partnership to create bold “uncaged” vintages rooted in the heart of California wine country. Z. Alexander Brown wines are incredibly food friendly. They can complement any creative culinary pairing. You can taste for yourself this at our tasting this Saturday, as we team their complex and engaging wines with short rib sliders from local favorite Samples World Bistro.

This Saturday, we will be tasting the following selections:

Uncaged Cabernet: Z. Alexander Brown Cabernet Sauvignon unfolds with rich aromas of black cherry, mocha and baking spice. Bold tannins frame a powerful mid-palate layered with mouth-filling flavors of black cherry and milk chocolate. Smooth and balanced, an elegant finesse defines the long and lingering finish.

Uncaged Pinot Noir: This Pinot Noir shows intense aromas of ripe raspberry, caramel, and toasty oak. It’s lush and layered and smooth with supple tannins, robust flavors of fresh Bing cherry, and strawberry that are complemented by silky underpinnings of mocha and caramel. This wine goes the distance with a refined and lingering finish.

Uncaged Red Blend: The Proprietary Red Blend is dark garnet in the glass, with commanding aromas of blueberry, cassis, and cedar that preview a bold, mouth-filling palate stacked with concentrated layers of ripe blueberry, black cherry, and baking spice. Robust and full-bodied with excellent weight in the mid-palate, this complex wine leaves a lasting impression with a smooth, round and full finish.

For the beer lovers, we are offering the #oppourtunity to sample Atom Brewing Company.

Atom Brewing Company creates beers that reflect tradition, simplicity, and the art of the craft. Herb & flower gardens, fruit trees, and chickens around the brewery inspire and influence their style. Atom’s unique sours and farmhouse “inspired “ ales are made the old fashioned way, in oak barrels. Their primary focus is on pairing mixed fermentation and barrel aging.

Friday Tasting – Boulder Beer & Charles Smith Wines

This Friday, September 29, Wyatt’s is offering a free tasting featuring the Boulder Beer Company and of the wines of Charles Smith of Washington State.

The Boulder Beer Company is Colorado’s first craft brewery.

In 1979, two professors at the University of Colorado received the 43rd brewing license issued in the United States, creating Boulder Beer. The original site of the brewery was a small farm northeast of Boulder, the brew house sharing space in a shed originally housing a few goats.

In a world of light yellow lagers, Boulder Beer won industry and consumer accolades for its line of bold Boulder Beers: Boulder Porter, Stout and Extra Special Bitter. Five years later, the brewery moved to its current site in Boulder and expanded from its original one-barrel brewing system to a 50-barrel brew house with top-of-the-line packaging equipment. In 1994, they converted the original tasting room into a full-menu pub and scenic patio under the Flatirons.

For the wine lovers, we are tasting selections from Charles Smith Wines of Washington.

A self-taught winemaker, Charles Smith is a true artisan and a pioneer in the wine world. This Friday is your chance to see why he is one of the most renowned and award winning wine makers in Washington State.

Kung Fu Girl Riesling: Crushed minerals run through the heart of this pure and satisfying Riesling. Aromas of white peach, lime leaves, Linden tree, and crush stone echo in the palate with a long, fresh finish. One of Washington state’s most popular rieslings with a 90 Point rating and named one of the Top 100 Wines of 2016 from Wine Spectator.

Eve Chardonnay: This brilliant green-golden wine presents aromatic pear, tangerine, and guava with a refreshing vein of minerality running through the middle. Long and satisfying.

Boom Boom Syrah: Boom Boom explodes with taste complexity and bold tannins. Blackberry, boysenberry, dry-hung meat, white pepper, savory herbs, crushed granite all come into play, offering wine lovers a true experience.

Velvet Devil Merlot: This little devil is dense and bursting with flavors of dark fruit, cherry, blackberry with notes of cedar, pipe tobacco, and earthly terroir.

Chateau Smith Cabernet: A dark, rich Cabernet full of chocolate, dark cherries, and tobacco leaf that continues with earth and stone on its lingering finie Instsh.
