Cranberry, spice, and everything nice…

Just in time for the holidays, we're excited to unveil the newest addition to our Trade Winds sour series today!

Trade Winds is our playground for exploring more off-beat flavor combinations, and this latest edition featuring Cranberry & Spice is no exception. This sour strikes a perfect balance - offering both sessionability and subtle tartness, while delivering a burst of festive flavor.

Our latest Trade Winds is available on draft only at our Congress Park taproom, come see us soon for a pint!

To celebrate Santa coming to the taproom this weekend, we’re releasing some very special draft-only beers to get in the holiday spirit! 🧑‍🎄

Available at our Congress Park Taproom on Sunday only:

- 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗨𝗥𝗢𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗫 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗜 -

To create an even cozier rendition of Corduroy Complex, our newest Brown Ale, we loaded a keg with Chai and spices, creating a delightful and flavorful infusion.

- 𝗗𝗔𝗥𝗞 𝗚𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗫𝗜𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗬 𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗘 -

For a festive twist, we added 40 candy canes and a touch of vanilla to Dark Galaxie, our classic Oatmeal Stout, for a tasty holiday treat.

Santa will be here from 12-2pm, so make sure you’re here to secure your spot and grab a pint of our special releases before they’re gone! 🎄

Searching for the perfect winter lager? Look no further than our two Cryptic Message variants…

Cryptic Message is a staff favorite that seamlessly combines complex flavors with a remarkable crispness. Unravel the mystery behind this Black Lager - a grain bill rich in roasted malt with cozy notes of Baking Chocolate, French Roast Coffee and Sarsaparilla.

Alongside the original is a new iteration of Cryptic Message aged in Peach Brandy Barrels. After aging for 10 months, the barrel imparts a slight oakiness and warmth and the finished product evokes notes of Gummy Peach Rings, Gingerbread Spice and Baking Chocolate.

Come join us in our heated patio lodge for a pint or grab a 4-pack for your upcoming winter adventures 🍻

At long last, our smoked Helles, 𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗦 has returned 🔥

This unique lager was developed by our Cellar Lead, Codee, who transformed a traditional helles recipe with the addition of Troubadour Pevec Malt smoked in Maplewood. The smoky grain bill, along with mild Hallertau Hersbrucker hops, created a challenge in balancing smokiness, bitterness and sweetness while maintaining maximum drinkability. He adapted the recipe from last year to make an even lighter, lower ABV, easy drinker that’s super crispy and snappy - just like the weather these days.

Come enjoy the heated tent at our Congress Park taproom for a pint or snag a 4-pack.

Make your list and check it twice - Santa is joining us at our Congress Park Taproom this Sunday! 🧑‍🎄

Gather your family, your friends, or your pups* to capture the perfect holiday picture with Santa! For $20 you get a high quality digital photo and (1) draft beer pour of your choice.

Santa will be here from 12-2pm - be sure to get here early to secure your spot!

*Please remember that due to Denver County regulations, we cannot have dogs in our taproom. However, pups are welcome to join you in our heated tent outside!

See you soon!

Get ready to cozy up with 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗨𝗥𝗢𝗬 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗫, the first Brown Ale we’ve brewed in over 6 years. 🤯

We called on our brewer, Lily, to write this recipe to add a lighter, lower ABV dark beer to our portfolio. At 4.6% with rich flavors, a dark body, and easy drinkability, she nailed it with Corduroy Complex.

To design this beer, Lily drew on inspiration from one of her personal favorite recipe creations - a Chai Latte Brown Ale. To achieve a full body without adding lactose, she relied on a heavy dose of oats. Along with the rest of the grain bill, this Brown Ale features notes of dark dried stone fruit and toast, all while maintaining a lovely crispness.

This batch is available on draft only at our Congress Park taproom, come visit us for a pint of Lily’s latest recipe!

Mark your calendars - Santa Claus is coming to town on December 3rd! 🧑‍🎄

Bring your kids, partner, roommate, best friend or well-behaved dog* to get the perfect holiday photo! $20 gets you a high quality digital photo and (1) draft beer pour of your choice.

Santa will be here from 12-2pm- be sure to get here early to secure your spot!

*Please remember that due to Denver County regulations, we cannot have dogs in our taproom. However, pups are welcome to join you in our heated tent outside!
