Barrels & Bottles Brewery Announces New Head Brewer Cory Carvatt

GOLDEN, CO — Barrels & Bottles Brewery is proud to announce Cory Carvatt as its new Head Brewer. Carvatt joined the company in November 2015, and has since created several new beers that are now Barrels & Bottles in-house staples like the Orange Creamsicle Ale, a Blonde Ale brewed with orange peel and vanilla beans.

Carvatt came to Barrels & Bottles Brewery from the brewing team by way of beertending staff at Dry Dock Brewing Company. While brewing there he attended the American Brewer's Guild.

“I fell in love with wine and beer while working for my parents at their liquor store,” says Carvatt. “Left with the opportunity to go to New Zealand to work a summer internship at a wine vineyard or interview for a beertending gig at Dry Dock, I decided beer was my future.”

Learn more about Cory’s brewing story on Tuesday, March 22 at Barrels & Bottles’ Meet The Brewer Night for Colorado Craft Beer Week. From 4 to 8pm, the brewpub is pouring complimentary five-ounce tastes of house beers. There are more details about this event on the brewery’s Facebook page.

Barrels & Bottles Brewery Celebrates its Grand Opening in Golden


GOLDEN, CO— Barrels & Bottles Brewery, Golden’s newest brewery and pub, celebrates its grand opening tomorrow Friday, September 20th at 5 p.m. The new tap room at 600 12th Street will be serving half pours of its very limited first batches, including a German rye ale and a blond ale made by head brewer Shaun Salyards.


In addition to Shaun’s beers, Barrels & Bottles is debuting with 17 guest taps, and 24 kinds of wine on tap. “We’re creating a tap list that reflects who we feel are under-represented in this area,” says Shaun. Barrels & Bottles is Equinox Brewing’s first non-Fort Collins account and Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Projects first account in Golden. 


The new bar also boasts one of the state’s only fusion towers that infuses beer with fresh hops, coffees, and other botanicals to enhance aromas. 


After this weekend, the new pub will launch its small plates menu that will be handcrafted from scratch by co-owner Abigail Schuh George. She and her husband Zachary George moved to Colorado in 2012 with Barrels & Bottles in mind. They spent their first few years in the state touring countless Colorado breweries and attending festivals like Odell’s Small Batch Fest where they met their head brewer. 


Barrels & Bottles also offers a variety of bulk olive oils and vinegars for sale. Much like a growler fill, you can return with your empty bottle for eco-friendly refills. 


The Barrels & Bottles bar was built out of old doors and barrel staves from Rocky Mountain Barrel Company, and all of the barstools and tables in the tap room are reclaimed. Even the water station is built out of an old barrel. One of their walls sports a glass panel from their front windows slated for brewery stickers.
