West Highlands
Now Open
Our new taproom in the vibrant West Highlands neighborhood is officially open! We’ve teamed up with our friends at Outside Pizza to bring this exciting new space to life. While their pizza kitchen will be opening this summer, you can still get a taste of what’s to come — their food truck is parked outside Friday through Sunday, serving up handcrafted pies to pair with your favorite Cerebral beers.
This 4,000-square-foot location features a spacious taproom, sunny outdoor patio, and an inviting mezzanine — the perfect new spot to enjoy a pint in one of Denver’s most charming neighborhoods.
Public Transit Directions: We are located right off of RTD Line 32. Disembark at 32nd & Mead and walk East two blocks to Lowell then one block north.

Colfax Lager
Our Denver taproom is nestled just a few feet off Colfax Ave. In fact, when we first signed the lease, we had a Colfax address (until the Post Office changed it). This iconic street is littered with local landmarks, from Casa Bonita and the Capitol Building to the Squire Lounge and the Bluebird Theater. When we bought a building precisely four miles east at Colfax and Florence in the Aurora Arts District, we knew we had to brew a beer to celebrate the Ave we know and love.
This American Corn Lager is our ode to Colfax. It’s exactly what we want to drink at our local dive bar, concert venue, or park hang. Corn is often (negatively) associated with mass-produced beers, but its use in this recipe helps dry out the pilsner malt and showcase the delicate hop bill. The result is a clean, refreshing beer that we revisit again and again.
