Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Hogshead Brewery, which has experienced several delays to its planned opening, has begun serving beer. No one from the brewery responded to a request for comment, but the company posted a notice on its Facebook page saying it had soft opened.
Hogshead, which will specialize in cask-conditioned English style ales, is located inside an old '50s-style gas station at 29th Avenue and Utica Street. In a previous interview, co-owner Jeff Kipp said the brewery will keep two cask-conditioned beers on tap at all times, serving them with hand pumps from kegs located in a fifty-degree cask room.
"We hope we get a good neighborhood following so we can keep those fresh," he told Westword. Hogshead plans to have at least three beers on tap at all times, including Lake Lightning, a blonde ale; Gilpin Black Ale, a porter; and Chin Wag ESB.
Westword will update this post if we get any more info about a grand opening.
