Nearly a year in planning, Wynkoop’s Saison de Colfax is now on tap at the Denver-area Cheeky Monk locations and the company’s sister bar, Royal Hilltop in Aurora, CO. Named for Denver, Colorado’s Colfax Avenue.
Saison de Colfax features the wondrous gifts one expects to find in a saison: vibrant tropical, candy and pepper-spice aromas and flavors in a refreshing Belgian beer. But these typical saison gifts arrive with a tan head and a very subtle chocolate/cocoa note, in an almost opaque beer with a deep brownish-black color.

Each beer features its own unique Art Deco roaring 20’s inspired label. The first release of this beer will take place during Portland Beer Week followed be a few special releases from both breweries.

Wicked Weed Brewing (Asheville, NC) and Foothills Brewing (Winston-Salem) have teamed up to create a collaboration dubbed Batch 69. The beer is Wicked Weed’s first collaboration with another brewery. Wicked Weed founder Walt Dickinson was contemplating brewing something special to brew for Asheville Beer Week (May 25th-June 1st). An admiration for the established and creative Foothills Brewing prompted a phone call to T.L. Adkisson, Foothills’ head brewer.
The two breweries combined Wicked Weed’s Freak Double IPA and Foothills Sexual Chocolate to make Batch 69.
As Dickinson puts it, “It’s ideally going to be a drier beer, but with a lot of chocolate complexity, with a nice, bright, citrus finish on it.” Adds Adkisson, “the beer’s designed to have a chocolate profile, but tilt heavily toward an orange, almost tangerine flavor.”
The name? Dirty? No. Purely coincidental. It was the 69th batch of beer brewed at Wicked Weed. Batch 69 uses Guatemalan organic cacao nibs were hand-roasted by French Broad Chocolate in Asheville especially for this beer.
Style: Imperial Stout (w/ Cocoa Nibs. Blended w/ Imperial IPA)
Hops: Simcoe, Citra, Amarillo
Availability: Draft only, Asheville Beer Week, 2013.
