Colorado Grain Chain's 2023 Microgrant Coming to Fruition
The Story: Colorado Grain Chain microgrants are starting to reap rewards for local consumers.
The Scoop: The nonprofit awarded four breweries and distilleries $4,000 each to craft a beer or spirit with only Colorado ingredients. Cohesion Brewing and WeldWerks Brewing teamed up to create Foamies, a Czech-style pale lager made with Troubadour Malts. The first batch sold out in under two weeks in August, so a second, larger batch was made and canned in November and is now available in local markets. WildEdge Brewing Collective also created a German dunkelweizen-style beer with Root Shoot Malting and yeast from Inland Island; it was released in the fall.

Golden City Brewery Instagram
From the Brewery: Legend tells of a land dominated by a giant and in need of a true champion. A red-haired knight rose to the challenge and faced great peril for the freedom of his people. To honor this illustrious valor and victories, a red ale was crafted.
From the Glass: Variations in the homeland of Altbier, Düsseldorf, range from lighter, somewhat dry entries, to big, bold, almost English porter-like examples, not to mention a few oddball beers. This offering leans bold, while maintaining a drinkable alcohol level. Loads of malty caramel and a touch of English-like yeast esters, with a firm bitterness and hint of spicy hops, make this an enjoyable brew.
Availability: On draft and in cans, both at the brewery in Golden and throughout the Denver area.
