Discovering Colorado Breweries
Denver - Colorado The State of Craft Beer
Welcome to Denver, Colorado. Considered by many to be a mecca of craft brewing. While most of our craft brewers didn’t come here in covered wagons, they do share the same spirit as the visionaries who put Denver on the map. We are a city that rallies around beer. Proud of the care and attention that goes into each barrel. Inspired by the hard work it takes to brew each batch. Amazed at how one simple thing can bring so many people together, Colorado Craft Beer.

Mile High Musts: Wynkoop Brewing Company
In 1988, now-Gov. John Hickenlooper opened Denver’s first craft brew pub, the Wynkoop Brewing Company, which helped kick off the movement to revitalize the area. The brewery is still going strong and brewing some of the most interesting beers in Colorado, including the Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout.

Catch Carri Interviews Great Divide Brewery
To find an adventure please visit catchcarri.com
With an influx of craft breweries saturating the state it's a treasure hunt to find out what makes each one tick. Great Divide was established in 1994 by home brewer Brian Dunn. Having worked in North Africa and living in several European countries over the course of five years, Dunn brings a broad perspective into the brewing culture. His perspective would have been lost if he didn't have a change of heart on his way to a job interview in California. Within one year of writing a business plan, Great Divide started to take shape. Dunn says they use the best ingredients, strive for bold flavors and strive for beers that are nice and balanced. It's a big enough operation for an in-house bottling line that can top off 120 twelve oz. bottles a minute and 60 twenty two oz bottles a minute. 35 employees keep the brewery buzzing and beer flowing.
By the end of the year one of Colorado's most sought after breweries will have the capacity to brew 50,000 barrels of beer a year. Raise your glasses! Great Divide is adding three 300 barrel fermenters to it's tank farm. The sound of construction outside the brewery at 2201 Arapahoe Street shows these guys are stepping up to meet the rushing demand of big, bold hand-crafted beer. Last year the brewery finished with 30,000 barrels. Great Divide had to pull out of some markets but with their new babies, they can filtrate them again.
Instead of one designated brew master at Great Divide, there is a head brewer and five other brewers that all take the same amount of credit. The finish on the beer shows different touches and the diversity of the brew team. Right now the pilot system is cruising so brewers can experiment with smaller batches of beer and expand creativity. None of the beers have made the one of the 16 draft handles in the tasting room, but you betcha when it does you will ask for a top off on an empty glass.
Take a seat in the newly expanded tap room and sample some beer. Select from seasonal beers like the Nomad Pilsner, Old Ruffian or the Espresso Oak Aged Yeti that is made with coffee from a Denver coffee shop called Pablo's. Or pick from some year-round beers like the wild raspberry ale, Hercules Double IPA, Denver IPA or the Hoss. No matter what you choose you will come out a champion because this brewery has the credentials having earned 17 Great American Beer Festival Metals and 5 World Beer Cup Awards.

Summer Night by The 126ers
Masters of the Brewniverse
The inaugural Master of the Brewniverse! We know you love craft beer, but how well do you know the people who make and market said beer? We figured, what better way to showcase the people behind the beer than a brewery pageant? Yes, we said pageant.
In typical beer fest fashion, guests received unlimited tastings from 16 Colorado breweries, with the added bonus of watching reps and brewers from each brewery compete on stage to win the title of Master of the Brewniverse! Breweries competed before a panel of judges in rounds of beer pageantry including fashion, talent, and interview. As weird as it may sound, it was nothing short of awkwardly awesome.
$25 tickets includes beer and general admission to watch the competition. 100% of profits will go to Mile High United Way, because pageants are all about World Peace right?
The renowned panel of judges:
Steve Kurowski, Colorado Brewers Guild
Marty Jones, legendary beer man
Emily Hutto, Eater Denver and author of Colorado's Top Brewers
Eric Gorski, Denver Post
Chad Hatlestad, Brewers Supply Group

2011 11 05 - Enjoying the 2011 Colorado Beer Fest - Hanging out by Great Divide Brewery
Went to the November 2011 Colorado Beer Fest in Colorado Springs with my dad, which was a pretty awesome beer fest--lots and lots of breweries (maybe 40+), great live music, and all the beer you could drink.
In this video, my dad and I had gravitated back toward Great Divide Brewery (from Denver), one of the best breweries present, and I took a quick video.
By this point, I had maybe had 60 or so samples of various strong beers. Lol.
Keeping it Strange with Strange Craft Beer Co (Stout Conversations - Craft Beer Stories)
Episode 29 - Keeping it Strange in Denver, Colorado
Join us this week for Part One as we get a bit strange with Tim Myers of Strange Craft Beer Company. A veteran in the Denver craft beer scene, Tim was one of the first to open a taproom only brewery and definitely one of the few to share his taproom with another brewery.

Here’s to keeping it strange.
Give Strange Craft and Wit's End a visit. You won't be disappointed.
Be sure to check out Part Two next week: It’s all about the brews. Strange Brews, that is.
And keeping up with that theme, Tim mentions the classic movie Strange Brew. We’d love to get to know you more. What is your favorite classic movie? Let us know in the comments below or by clicking the link.
