I’m really excited about 2013

It’s an exciting time down here at the Brewery.  The Barrel Room is open, our new tanks are installed and we are ready to make some good beers.  After non-stop construction and a flurry or hiring over the past few months, we are ready to take the next step in our little brewery’s future.

the Barrel Room

Our Inaugural Beer Dinner was a great success! It was a fun way to break  in the new space. 

GABF recap

With the booth back in the shed, streets seeming empty, lanyards thrown away, and nothing but silence from crowds after a glass falls to the ground, you know GABF is over.  More than 49,000 beer-loving bodies flood the city

Year One Down!

August is marked by BBQ's, concerts, lazy, hot summer days and...the Denver Beer Co. 1st Anniversary Party.  If you missed out on our the party last Saturday you missed the party of the year!  With beers flowing, food from Basic Kneads, Chili Billy, and Uber Sausage, live music and perfect weather, our outdoor party area was a sweet spot to spend the day on Platte Street.

Beer Dinners - a party for your mouth

For those of you who haven’t been to a beer dinner, it's time to hop on board. (pun intended)   Most people have heard of wine and food pairings, but if you want to be truly avant garde try a beer pairing.

First Annual Coffee Beer Festival

At 9am on Saturday February 18th, crowds lined up to indulge in our first ever “Coffee Beer Festival.”  The beautiful weather made for some great beergarden action as the 80ish sold out crowd dove into a sea of unlimited tastes of dark, roasty, brews complimented best only by free coffee, a breakfast burrito, and unlimited bacon… yes, 45 pounds of fresh bacon

Our First Collaboration Brew!

This Saturday we are releasing our very first Collaboration Brew created with the fine folks up at Upslope Brewing Company in Boulder, Colorado.  We had a great time collaborating with the Upslope guys on everything from conceptualization to tapping.  At Denver Beer Co we pride ourselves on making beers that complement the seasons.  Upslope has a tradition of fine canned beers and award winning small batch brews (they won Gold at the GABF for their Pumpkin Beer).  We are perfect partners for a Collaboration brew and created a beer that highlights the best characteristics of both Breweries' styles.

First Ever Beer Dinner: The Recap!

We opened our doors one fine evening in November for our first Beer Dinner held at the brewery!  It was a huge success and if you weren't there to enjoy it, here's a recap of the flavor-filled evening...

We got Firkins!

Well actually they are "pins," but are just as much fun.  Pins and Firkins are a traditional British way to serve beer.  The beer is naturally carbonated and served without adding CO2.

Graham Cracker Porter, the story behind a GABF Medal Winner!

Given that the fourth batch of beer ever brewed at Denver Beer Co. has been awarded a bronze medal at the world’s most prestigious beer competition, I thought that it would be appropriate to share some of the back story behind this unique brew.

GABF Tappings

  The time has come for the largest beer festival in the world to roll into our fair city, the Great American Beer Festival houses over 2,000 beers to be enjoyed by close to 50,000 beer lovers from across the world.  The much anticipated 3-day festival is always one to not be missed, but just in case you did miss out on the sold-out event (or even if you are going but are looking for some gems to sip on outside the busy festival), here's our schedule of special tappings throughout the GABF week!

  With these fresh favorites from the brewery we may be busting out some barrel-aged goodies!

USA Today named us a “10 great places to dig in at a beer garden!”

We are pleased to announce that USA Today named us one of their "10 great places to dig in at a beer garden!"  What an honor!

New Beers, first special ever!

New Beers, and our first special ever!

Thanks to all you thirsty lovers of beer we have officially “kicked” our first brew:  at approximately 12:49pm on Saturday, August 13th, 2011 Kaffir Lime Wheat bit the dust.  As the last breath escaped the pour spout, eyes were fixed, an odd silence fell over the brewery just as the calm before the storm when the first words from brewmaster Charlie Berger “that’s it for Kaffir Lime!!..” echoed throughout the taproom with applause following.  Fear not, it will return but in the mean time we have 2 more brews that are sure to be crowd-pleasures.

Opening Weekend

What a crazy weekend!  Thank you one and all for coming out for our opening weekend.  We enjoyed meeting you all and hope you had as good of a time as us.  Friday started off with a bang

One More Day

One More Day

The time has come, the curtains near drawn, bar polished and all hands on deck ready for tomorrow’s Grand Opening.  Throughout the week we have been testing systems, tweaking and adjusting, cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, preparing for your eager mouths to come enjoy 6 of our proudly brewed beverages.  A milestone for Denver Beer Co, and what’s sure to be one hell of a party, tomorrow is an event not to be missed.  Doors will be opening at noon, ribbon cutting at 7, and beer enjoying with friends old, and new, will be happening all throughout the day.

7 New Beers, 7 New Reasons to Love Denver Beer Co

With opening day fast approaching (August 12th), brews bubbling, and building anticipation that rivals Christmas Day,  we present a VIP look at the “first seven”.
