We don’t blame you if you are ending this week looking for some good news and needing a drink. We’re here to help on both counts. Two more Coloradans have won Olympic medals since we checked in last week to toast the first three Colorado medalists (plus one honorary Coloradan).

Colorado sent 36 athletes to the winter Olympics underway in South Korea, more than any other state. They have racked up six medals for Team USA, and contributed to two more medals. We posted some of these medal-worthy beer recommendations last week, but added a few more this week as more medals are now coming back to Colorado.

Lindsey Vonn

Vail’s most famous daughter, Lindsey Vonn, has been on the Olympic stage since 2002, and on the medal podium since 2010. She repeated her medal-winning downhill performance this year, earning the bronze. So the obvious choice of beers to drink in her honor is the Repeater extra pale ale from Ratio Beerworks in Denver. Like Vonn, this beer goes down smooth. It lands somewhere between a bitter IPA and a lighter pale ale, perfect for those who want plenty of flavor but aren’t into the bitterness of IPAs.

Alex Ferreira

The freestyle skier launched his way to a silver medal in the halfpipe event. Alex is an Aspen native, but his father was a professional soccer player in his native Argentina. Likewise, Upslope Brewing Company head brewer Dany Pages is from Argentina, where he ran his hometown brewery. He is now in Boulder, brewing a range of beers with that famously understated Flatiron logo, including a brown ale that has won nine state and national beer medals. The latest addition to the Upslope lineup is the 2018 Experimental IPA, which was just tapped this week. It is brewed with Denali, Azacca, Galaxy, and Vic Secret hops, and we look forward to a taste, and a toast to both athletic Ferreiras.

Red Gerard

Red Gerard of Silverthorne won the first gold medal this year for Team USA. The 17-year-old snowboarder isn’t old enough to drink (and we can’t confirm which beers his family was apparently shotgunning on the morning bus to the slopes), but we’re going to drink a Colorado Red in Red’s honor. Fittingly, Snowbank Brewing makes this strong and complex American red ale, which nicely balances caramel and malt flavors with citrus on the nose and some tropical hops.

Mikaela Shiffrin

Vail native Mikaela Shiffrin won gold in the women’s giant slalom, and silver in the alpine combined, making her this season’s blonde. Originally a fittingly named spring seasonal, Aspen Brewing Company now brews This Season’s Blonde year-round. It is a light English pale ale with bright floral notes, and it is widely available in cans statewide.

Arielle Gold

Colorado snowboarder Arielle Gold may have celebrated her recent 21st birthday at Mountain Tap Brewery in her hometown, Steamboat Springs, before traveling to Pyeongchang and winning a bronze medal.

If so, it would have been appropriate for her to have been drinking the gold-hued Locals’ Lager. This light German pilsner is a smooth lager with a spicy hop finish.

Lauren Gibbs and Nicole Hensley

Lauren Gibbs of Denver was half of the USA women’s bobsled team, which won a silver medal this week. Nicole Hensley of Littleton is a goalie for the U.S. hockey team that won the gold medal in an upset over Canada. Both are Colorado team players, so we honor them with a beer that brings together two of our favorite Colorado teams. In a few months, Old Aggie Superior Lager exploded onto the beer scene last fall as a winning collaborations between the Colorado State University fermentation program and the granddaddy of Colorado craft brewing, New Belgium Brewing.

Shaun White

OK, we know the Flying Tomato is from California, but we consider him partly local. He honed many of his tricks at a private halfpipe in Silverton, and he is famous for his epic runs at the X Games in Aspen, where he has won more gold medals than any other athlete.

It all makes him something of a Cali-Rado collaboration, just like the Snowllaboration. Weldwerks brewed this juicy and delicious double New England IPA with Casa Agria in Oxnard, Calif.
