River North Brewery - A Dynamic Veteran of the Denver Brewery Scene River North Brewery resides at the blurred line of old and new with a huge parking lot and welcoming atmosphere. Atmosphere Bar Tenders Beer Selection Drink Specials 2018-09-21 4.4Stars From time to time the Denver brewery scene feels like one of those ancient moving puzzles from an Indiana Jones films – it’s dynamic, ever-changing but old and sedimentary at the same time. There is a beauty in that. It’s an iconoclast towards an industry that will never settle in or figure itself out. Or at least I like to think of them that ..read more

Bear Creek Distillery - Craft Spirits, Tasting Room, Heaven The focus for Bear Creek over the last six years has always been to provide the highest quality grain to glass craft distillery around. Atmosphere Bar Tenders Drink Specials Spirit Selection 2018-07-27 4.8Stars I used to think that whiskey could save a life under the right circumstances. And maybe it can. But, in the face of all that I’ve seen, I realized that was a fool-hardy and shortsighted opinion. It isn’t just the alcohol that resurrects the soul. The refurbishing of the ethos comes from the conversation over the spirits and t ..read more

Colorado Plus Brew Pub - A Neighborhood Brewery and Scratch Kitchen in the Heart of Wheat Ridge It strikes me as a fitting oasis for this tight-knit neighborhood. Atmosphere Bar Tenders Beer Selection Drink Specials 2018-07-23 4.3Stars At first glance, it seems that everyone you meet in Denver is from somewhere else. They were drawn in by the sunshine, legal weed, mountains or perhaps they just needed a change in their life. And that led them right to our square-shaped mid-western haven for liberty. The longer I live in this city, however, the more multi-generation Coloradans I run across. T ..read more

The Denver Hopper

3y ago
With the slogan, “highest cell count in the industry”, you might not immediately guess that Inland Island Yeast Laboratories is actually one of the most important companies supporting the brewing industry.  I had the pleasure of talking with Matthew Peetz, one of the two Inland Island owners, and learned all about the essentials of high-quality yeast for a high-quality brew. Inland Island Yeast Labs started in 2014, cultivating yeast in a spare bathtub, just to see what would happen to the cells.  With a background in cell biology, Matthew has always been interested in fermentable go ..read more

I’m a little late to the party, but the boys at Call to Arms Brewing Company are at it again. Well, now that I think about it, that statement may be a tad disingenuous because it implies that they stopped being “at it” for a while. There was never a hiatus or a delay. The brewing at Call to Arms Brewing is continuous and calculated – the beer is refined and dangerously tasty. This heralded brewery in the Berkeley neighborhood is constantly conjuring up craft brew magic. They are a staple of the brewing scene here in Denver. Their latest bottle release goes by the name of Old Old Wooden Ship an ..read more
