Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Twenty-one is a big number in the beer world: It's the legal drinking age, the amendment that repealed Prohibition — and the number of years Great Divide Brewing Company has been selling beer to thirsty Coloradans. Great Divide celebrate its 21st anniversary on Saturday on the site of its future location on Brighton Boulevard, with food trucks, live music and a few special-release beers. Ticket holders walked away with commemorative stainless-steel pint glasses and a quenched thirst. Photographer Danielle Lirette was on hand to capture the festivities.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
