I like how Great Divide Brewery thinks. They see the long, hot days of the convention, and they brew a clean but flavorful pale ale that tasted so good after a sweaty day of schlepping that I just might start calling it Colorado ice tea.

Liberally Hopped Pale Ale is also kind to your fuzzy brain after a long day, weighing in at 6.1%.

Great Divide has only made 75 kegs of the brew, so make sure and grab a pint this week before it taps out.

It's being poured at Earl's (1600 Glenarm), ESPN Zone (1187 16^th St.), Appaloosa Grill (535 16^th St.), City O' City (for you veggies, at 210 E 13^th St.), among other locations. Also, if you want to try the beer at its source, it's a 10-minute walk from downtown to Great Divide's Tap Room (2201 Arapahoe St). The tap room hours are Monday-Friday 3-8 p.m., and Saturday from 2-7 p.m. While we were there some protesters came in and eyed us journalist-types, ordering samples of all of Great Divide's beer.

"So, this is Denver," one said, and I nodded.

Yup, this is Denver, and this beer is certainly one thing we all can agree on.
