Boulder beers in 5280 six-pack

Two beers from Boulder have been selected for the fall seasonal six-pack from 5280 Magazine.

The pack features locally made beers deemed perfect for the coming autumn season and can be found in stores now.

Ellie’s Brown Ale from Avery Brewing Company, one of the Boulder-based beers chosen for the six-pack, is described by the magazine as “an amazingly balanced brown ale with a strong malt and nutty chocolate flavor.”

Another Boulder beer in the 5280 six-pack is Flashback India Brown Ale from the Boulder Beer Company. 5280 says the ale is “the kind of beer that will persuade dark beer lovers to try IPAs and hopheads to go to the dark side.”

Other brews in the six-pack include Silverback Pale Ale from Wynkoop Brewing Company in Denver, 471 IPA from Breckenridge Brewery in Denver, Cutthroat Porter from Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins, and Modus Hoperandi IPA from Ska Brewing in Durango.
