Primitive Beer

Coloradans are fortunate to have quite a few high-quality producers of specialized beers, from makers of barrel-aged stouts and Belgian, English, German or Czech-style brews to South American and Mexican-focused breweries and, of course, IPA houses. Some of the most dedicated to the craft are Brandon and Lisa Boldt, who built a real gem at Primitive Beer, which turns out stellar spontaneously fermented brews. As of late 2023, the operation closed its taproom in Longmont and moved production to New Image Brewing in Wheat Ridge, where it offers monthly bottle releases.
