What a wonderful day for a beer. As we sat outside the one of Denver's new breweries we were surrounded by a large assortment of people and of dogs. Everything from little "yippy" dogs to large drooling St Bernard's. There had been a pretty consistent wind all day but that was far from affecting Denver Beer Co, they were still packed inside and out. Sure enough, the beer spoke for the crowd, there was everything from Hefeweizen to a Graham Cracker Porter and all the beers were wonderful. My favorite was the Hefewiezen it had an amazing balance of clove and banana flavors with a slight overall background fruitiness that gave this beer a "bubblegum", yes bubblegum type flavor. I know that may sound like an unusual flavor but it did an amazing job in complementing the beers style.
Not only does this brewery make great beer but it has only ever repeated a few of its recipes so you are almost always guaranteed to find something new on tap that has never been released before and might never be released again. I wholeheartedly agree with this philosophy and think that it is a great way to keep things new and interesting. Denver Beer Co also (as many small breweries do now) have weekly concerts, food carts, and many other awesome events. For instance coming up the brewery will be supporting a Denver Bike Day by having bikers who stop by the brewery actually grind the grain for their brew using a bike powered mill! Super awesome... Anyway, this brewery was fun, upbeat, and wholly delicious.
