We know what happened during the Boston apocalypse this week. They are running out of booze there because of the snow.

Given the marginal craft beers in New England compared to the diamonds available everywhere in Colorado, worse things could happen. Worse is, it cold happen here.

If the weather worries are on target this time and Ullr has a Mile-High tantrum.

The first thing to prepare for Aurora’s snowmaggedon? No, no no. Who cares about fresh batteries and a full supply of prescription meds? Think “priorities.” What awesome Colorado brew can you not get enough of until FEMA digs you out next Friday?

Here’s our picks for beers you could spend four days with until the local tap room or craft brewery re-opens to put the world right again.

Aaron Cole, managing editor and obscene-fast car driver: When snow comes down, flavor needs to go up. I’m packing Great Divide Hoss Rye Lager this weekend for a few reasons. First, the deep fruit and rich malts are hearty enough to warm from tongue to toes. But more importantly, the beer doesn’t put you to sleep — assuming you drink it in moderation. The lager’s crisp finish is mildly refreshing, and a 6 ABV isn’t exactly sessionable, but it’s no barley wine.

Dave Perry, editor and sadistic hedonist: We could die in this storm. Heart attack shoveling snow. Broken neck jumping into a snowbank from my first-story dining room window. Or just old age. Don’t wait for the big-ass beer, get it while the getting’s good. I’m gonna have a snow-session with Aspen Brewing’s 10th Mountain Imperial Stout, a taste bud explosion worthy of the World War II ski-soldier pioneers it’s named after. If mocha ice cream wanted to be a stout, it would take this form. Nice. Warm. Buzz. And if the sun dares come out before Thursday, it’s time for Aurora’s own Mu Brewery Boone’s Maple Cream Porter. Creamy maple porter. Just like that.

Brandon Johansson, intrepid crime reporter and open-minded beer snob: I’m holing up with Left Hand’s Nitro Sawtooth Ale, mostly because I’m hoping this storm isn’t as bad as everyone says it will be. The nitro carbonation makes it particularly easy to drink, and hopefully I can enjoy several in celebration of the storm that didn’t happen. But if I was going to pick something darker, I’d go with Dry Dock’s Vanilla Porter, which I recently noticed comes in six-packs of cans.

Rachel Sapin, government reporter and stuffed bunny enthusiast: No doubt, it’s Elevation Brewing Co.’s Little Mo’ Porter. Sweet without being insufferable. Silky finish. No, wait. It’s got to be Salted Caramel Prim & Porter from Denver’s Former Future Brewing Company. I had it at Aurora’s Peak to Peak tap room. OK. Some of each. The bunnies need their share, too.

Dan Sorensen, Page Designer and OCD finger painter: When I think about getting snowed in, I think about comfort. How do I turn something that’s potentially a pain in the ass into something that I can remember with fondness. I’d love to pull up a chair next to the fire, get out one of my favorite books, preferably a classic adventure, one full of magic and mystery and monsters, and open up some sort of dark stout or porter. Breckenridge Brewery has two great ones like the Vanilla Porter and Oatmeal Stout.
