Belgian beers usually have hints of banana, porters can be reminiscent of chocolate, and Pilsners can have a bready quality. Stouts, meanwhile, are akin to coffee with their dark and roasty flavors, so it makes sense that a coffee roaster that happens to also brew beer would have a passion for the style. Steep Brewing & Coffee Co. has four stouts on tap the perfect amount for a nice flight.
Aside from a to-go coffee, I properly visited the brewery for the first time recently to celebrate February’s Stout Month. Dedicating a whole wintry month to the warming beer started in 1993 with Boulder’s Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery and has since grown to breweries all over honoring the period with a stout.

Loveland s homegrown Root Shoot Malting took home a medal last weekend in the Malt Cup, an annual competition hosted by the Craft Maltsters Guild. This is the third year in a row that Root Shoot has won a piece of hardware, making it the only small malt producer in the country to pull off that feat.
The company s prize-winning grain was Genie Pale, which took bronze. Genie Pale Malt starts as Limagrain Cereal Seed’s award-winning Genie 2-row, which Troubadour Malting also cultivates in its Genie Pale and also won at the Malt Cup this year, Root Shoot says. More flavorful than a traditional 2-row base malt, this light malt has notes of bread and honey, making it an excellent base malt for any style beer.
