10 Breweries Opening in Denver, CO in 2017
via Westword by Jonathan Shikes
Maybe you thought Denver couldn’t possibly hold another craft brewery. Or maybe you thought the boom was slowing down (me too). If so, then we were both wrong. Denver’s thirst for new breweries continued unabated in 2016 as eight new taprooms with Denver addresses (Brewability Lab, Bruz Beers, Banded Oak Brewing, Briar Common, Blue Moon, 10 Barrel, Bierstadt Lagerhaus and Seedstock) opened their doors, while two others opened new locations (River North Brewery and Crazy Mountain).
Now 2017 will see the addition of at least ten more breweries within the city limits. Outside the city, the suburbs are also blowing up: New breweries are under construction in Wheat Ridge, Littleton, Broomfield, Thornton, Arvada, Lone Tree and Aurora. There are also several breweries that are already brewing beer at other facilities and selling it while looking for permanent addresses of their own in town.
Denver currently boasts around 65 breweries (including some that are production-only and don’t have taprooms). By this time next year, we’ll be nearing 75. Is the sky the limit? We’ll find out. Here is the list of the ten new breweries that plan to open inside Denver in 2017. Cheers.
