This week two of our favorite IPAs are making a return - Embodied Energy and Neural Glide. Both refreshingly crisp, hazy and perfect for the warmer weather heading our way. Grab a 4-pack at the link in our bio or come visit us today for a pint!

We're brewing a new batch of Bird of Paradise, our rotating fruited sour - what do you think the next fruit combo will be? 🤔

Some ingredients can shine in seclusion, but often what we love most is the harmony of the chord more than the note in isolation. Lucidity is a series that aims to take our oak-aged sour ales up in tenor. High fruiting levels and an exploration of new flavors combine to form a clarity of composition that shines greater than the sum of its parts.

We just tapped Lucidity 03, conditioned on Raspberry, Balaton Cherry and Pomegranate after aging for up to 37 months in oak. Pouring a perfect ruby red, this sour balances beautifully between tart and fruity. Lucidity is available only on draft at our Congress Park taproom. Stop by today to have a taste!

We recently made a trip out to the Bay Area for @sfbeerweek and had a chance to meet up with our friends at @ghosttownbrewing and @olfactorybrewing to work on some awesome collabs together. We can’t wait to share the finished brews with you at our collaboration celebration, In Symbiosis With…

Swing by our Congress Park taproom for the event on April 8 for the only opportunity to try these beers in Colorado, you don’t want to miss it!

We’ve been a small part of the Colfax community for the past seven years, and we’re honored to add another Cerebral location on this infamous strip.

To celebrate the opening of our Aurora Arts pop-up taproom and this beloved avenue, we’re debuting our new Colfax hat and tee this weekend - available ONLY at our Aurora taproom! Stop by Friday through Sunday to check out our new space, pick up some merch and grab a 4-pack of Neon Lite to take home with you!

We love brewing IPAs for their ability to showcase a wide variety of hop flavors and aromas, and often fruit is the perfect complement. When creating the recipe for Acute Awareness, our newest fruited IPA, we were looking for a fruit that was bright but not overly sweet. We landed on watermelon and chose hops to accentuate its flavors - Rakau highlights juicy red fruit notes, El Dorado bursts with melon aromas and Pacific Sunrise brings bright citrus flavors.

Acute Awareness is a taproom-only exclusive release, available at both our Congress Park and Aurora Arts locations! Soak in the springtime vibes and join us for a pint 🍉

We are excited to announce that we are finally ready to open our doors in Aurora with a pop-up taproom - located in the heart of the Aurora Arts District, just four miles down Colfax from our original Congress Park location. Nestled in between our brewhouse and expansive barrel collection, this cozy taproom offers an up-close-and-personal Cerebral experience Friday through Sunday.

This taproom features a draft list of both year-round and limited-release beers, plus merchandise and to-go beer to take home with you. We’ll keep our website (link in bio) updated with the current draft and package offerings, operating hours, as well as info on public transportation and parking.

We’ll be open at Aurora beginning THIS WEEKEND, March 24-26! We can’t wait to celebrate this new space over a beer with you soon.

We had just a little bit of fun on the brewhouse this week 🤓 In preparation for our annual collaboration celebration, In Symbiosis With... we brewed a couple collabs with our friends at @knottedrootbrewing and @omfbrewing. We can hardly wait until April 8 to try these beers. Any guesses on what we brewed with them?

Introducing our first Endeavor member-only bottle release! A project many years in the making, both of these beers and the individual barrels they’ve been resting in were carefully selected for this uniquely special occasion to make their debut. We can’t wait to finally share these bottles with our members.

𝙏𝙍𝙄𝙋𝙇𝙀 𝙈𝘼𝙎𝙃 𝙋𝘼𝙋𝙋𝙔 𝙑𝘼𝙉 𝙒𝙄𝙉𝙆𝙇𝙀 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝘽𝙀 𝙈𝙊𝙉𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙎
11.7% Single Barrel Aged Stout

In the fall of 2019, we set out to push the boundaries of our Here Be Monsters recipe by adding an additional mash and raising our total boil time from 8 to 28 hours. This achieved a greater depth of flavor and extra silky mouthfeel. After resting for 39 months, this particular barrel separated itself from the others and we couldn’t resist showcasing it on its own.

𝙂𝙀𝙊𝙍𝙂𝙀 𝙏. 𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙂𝙂 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝘽𝙀 𝙈𝙊𝙉𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙎
15.1% Single Barrel Aged Stout

In order to seamlessly meld our Here Be Monsters base with these beautiful GTS bourbon barrels, we added a generous portion of both malted and chocolate rye to the base beer. At 31 total months of aging, this cask stood out to us as the most balanced, refined and unique of the lot.

Endeavor members - check your email/Facebook group for more info on how to claim your bottles. Pickup begins next Friday, 3/24 and ends Friday, 4/7.
