Comrade Brewing

“Welkome to the Party.” That’s the motto for Comrade Brewing, which opened in southeast Denver in 2014 with “back-to-basics” beers — like a kolsch, an IPA, an Irish red and a milk stout — and a tongue-in-cheek nod to Communism. But owner David Lin says he’s really celebrating the camaraderie that the craft brewing industry […]

Copper Kettle Brewing

Copper Kettle Brewing opened in April 2011 on the border of Denver and Aurora, hoping to fill a geographic hole in the metro area’s craft-beer scene. But owners Jeremy Gobien and Kristen Kozik had no idea just how thirsty their neighbors would be: Within months, they expanded their brewing capacity by 166 percent. The taphouse […]

Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project

Located inside The Source, the taproom and brewery is a showpiece for Crooked Stave, which has gained national attention for its wild and sour ales over the past two years. Owner Chad Yakobson will be able to expand his repertoire here with other varieties and styles.

Danico Brewing

Nikki Harwood and Dave Lotierzo made lemonade out of lemons, so to speak, when they ran into COVID-related delays in opening their new brewery. The additional planning time allowed them to find their ideal builder, and after a smooth construction process, Danico Brewing opened in late 2022. The pair brought on veteran brewmaster, launching Danico […]

Dry Dock Brewery

Like a fresh beer poured quickly, Dry Dock’s tap room has foamed up and over the sides in the past few years, attracting a regular clientele from Aurora as well as a steady stream of beer pilgrims who make the journey from the city to the suburbs. The brewery and tap room now feature 170 […]

Fermaentra

When people walk into Fermaentra, owners Brennan Mann and Spencer O’Bryan want them to know they’re in a brewery. “Otherwise, you’re just in a bar in LoDo,” Mann says. That’s why beer drinkers at Fermaentra, which opened its doors in November 2014, can look past the taps to the seven-barrel brewhouse and the six tanks […]

Fritz Family Brewers

Warm season is Kölsch season. No, not the spiced and/or fruited ales that too often unnecessarily use the name, but the delicate, clean, crisp, slightly hoppy pale beers served in 200-milliliter (6.7-ounce) cylindrical glasses called stanges. In Cologne, servers (or köbes) will pour an endless stream of these fresh beers, one after another, while marking […]

Golden City Brewery

Founded in 1993 by geologists Charlie and Janine Sturdavant, the Golden City Brewery is a classic mountain town business: the brewery was in a carriage house in the backyard of the couple’s home, while the tasting area was in the living room. Two decades later, Golden’s “second largest brewery” is still in the Sturdavant’s backyard […]

Goldspot Brewing

In February 2015, Matt Hughes and Alex Sward opened Goldspot Brewing at 4970 Lowell Boulevard, just a block from the Regis University campus, in a neighborhood without a lot of beer-drinking options. The small spot has a cozy, neighborhood feel to it. Goldspot — which is named for the golden-colored circle on the Colorado flag […]
