Bruz Beers To Open New Location In Golden and Close Bruz Off Fax

DENVER, CO— Bruz Beers, crafter of Badass Belgian Beers and international beer tour guides, will close its Bruz Off Fax location in September. The now ten-year-old original location in Denver’s Midtown neighborhood will stay open with business as usual, while plans for a new location in Golden are underway. 

After six years in the heart of the Colfax Avenue corridor, the Bruz Off Fax chapter is ending to make way for Bruz Beers’ Golden taproom in planning. Owners Ryan and Rachel Evans are proud Golden residents, and very excited to bring their Belgian-inspired beer culture home. 

“We accomplished what we wanted at Bruz Off Fax,” say Ryan and Rachel Evans of Bruz Beers. “We built a special place where people could hang out and feel welcome while sipping some great beer. Colfax will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you to our loyal fans for all of the memories!” 

Bruz Off Fax customers can enjoy the taproom through September 24. They can also enjoy the same badass Belgian beers and great vibes at the original Bruz Beers production facility and taproom at 1675 West 67th Avenue #100. Stay tuned on Bruz’s social media channels for a going-away bash.

In Golden, Bruz has created their vision for their new space in the former Golden Animal Hospital with the help of local Golden architect Ewers Architecture. The former building owners selected Bruz specifically to carry on the building’s legacy and create community in this notable property. Slated for opening in 2028, guests can look forward to a two-story outdoor patio overlooking the foothills, with a sunset view— and a cold beer in hand of course. 

“Being Golden residents, we are looking forward to building something special for our community,” add Ryan and Rachel Evans. “Joining the ranks of one of the nation's premier beer towns is truly thrilling, especially given Golden's stellar reputation. We look forward to bringing not only our Bruz Beers brand, but also one of the best selections of Belgian import beers in the region.”

Fresh From Goat Patch Brewing: Citrus Summer Drink Fruited Pale Ale

COLORADO— Goat Patch Brewing Company’s summer seasonal, Citrus Summer Drink Fruited Pale Ale, hits shelves this week.

The brewing team at Goat Patch loves to experiment with exotic fruits in their recipes, and this new Pale Ale is no exception. Brewed with Calamansi (a tangerine-kumquat hybrid) and lime, Citrus Summer Drink is uber refreshing and bursting with citrus flavor accentuated by citrusy aroma hops Glacier, Motueka, and Mandarina. Its lighter grain bill lets the fruit shine, and additions of wheat and flaked barley give the mouthfeel a pillowy boost. 

“Calamansi has become popular recently because the orange-lime flavor combination is more vibrant than just orange and softer than just lime,” says Darren Baze, Goat Patch Co-Owner and Director of Production Operations. He and his brewing team have used this fruit in a few recipes already, and they’re excited to see this latest creation in cans in the Colorado marketplace. 

Goat Patch Citrus Summer Drink will be available in six-packs and on tap through springtime at the three brewery locations, and across Southern Colorado— all while supplies last.

New Lone Tree Brewing Czech Lager Showcases Traditional Czech Malt and Lagering Techniques

COLORADO— Lone Tree Brewing Company Czech Lager is now available in cans and on draft for the spring season. This classic Czech-Style Golden Pilsner, a popular tasting room beer turned production batch, was brewed with traditional Czech malt from Tchecomalt. Find it at both Lone Tree Brewing tasting rooms, and across Colorado, while supplies last. 

Lone Tree Brewing works closely with Country Malt Group, so it seemed fitting to build this simple yet complex Pilsner recipe with quality malt from one of the oldest Czech malting companies in their portfolio, Tchecomalt circa 1869. Tchecomalt's floor-malted Pilsen, Vienna, and Munich malts created the base for this full-bodied, hop-forward, and clean finishing lager with a traditional Czech lager yeast profile. Lone Tree Czech Lager is only 4.5% ABV for supreme drinkability. 

"Since our inception almost 15 years ago, we’ve understood the importance of showcasing classic lager styles from all beer cultures," says Jerry Siote, Lone Tree Brewing Director of Operations. “Our German-Style Helles Lager showed our early patrons that simple recipes with proven methods and ingredients could result in a complex and drinkable beer. Moving into our intermediate brewing years, our Mexican Lager has become a staple beer that people can rely on over and over. Given the current trends for quality, straightforward lagers, we felt that highlighting the rich heritage of Czech culture could illustrate our depth and variation within the light lager category."

This Pilsner was aggressively hopped with a new hop for Lone Tree, Zuper Saazer that was grown at Hop Head Farms in Southwest Michigan. This variety imparted aromas of spice, and a noble hop finish with higher alpha-acids. "We like a little fight in our Pilsners, IPAs, and other hop-forward beers from an IBU standpoint. There's been an alarming trend in the industry where bitterness began to carry a negative connotation, which we hope to dispel with this lager."  

Lone Tree Czech Pilsner is now available in 12oz cans and kegs in  the Colorado market, and is currently on draft at both brewery locations for a limited time.

Lone Tree Brewing Debuts Peach Wheat Ale

COLORADO–  Lone Tree Brewing Peach Wheat Ale is now available in cans and on draft across Colorado. This refreshing fruit beer is replacing Lone Tree’s flagship Peach Pale Ale in their year-round portfolio.

In a continued effort to provide a well-rounded lineup of beer styles, the brewing team at Lone Tree has always loved to experiment with fruit— and demonstrated their prowess on fruit additions with multiple awards for the beloved Peach Pale Ale. As the market craves more and more fruit, they are excited to debut a fresh recipe that still pays homage to one of their first-ever recipes. 

The new Peach Wheat is a fresh take on a classic American Wheat Ale with generous additions of real peaches. Bold hop flavors of tropical fruit, candied peaches, and apricot complement the finest pale malts and soft wheat backdrop to craft this hand-picked ale. It pours with a soft orange haze and a medium body, approachable bitterness, and a stone fruit finish.

“The end of Peach Pale is truly the end of an era, but we welcome the fresh, fruit-forward flavors of this new wheat ale,” says Lone Tree Director of Brewhouse Operations Jerry Siote. “We feel the most successful breweries balance the importance of tradition with willingness to experiment and adapt to customer preference. The Peach Pale was an important part of our growth over the years that taught us how to balance real fruit flavor with the goal of creating a “beer-first” brand. Working closely with Hopsteiner showed us we can highlight Alora™ hops in the new Peach Wheat for their flavor notes of peach, yuzu fruit, sweet melon, and apricot.” 

Peach Wheat is now available on draft and in 6-packs to to-go at both Lone Tree locations. Find it on draft and in cans at retailers and venues across the Centennial State.

Goat Patch Brewing Releases First Canned West Coast IPA

COLORADO— Goat Patch Brewing Company is excited to add breadth to its IPA portfolio with its first-ever West Coast IPA in a can. Goat Patch West Coast IPA is now available across Colorado. 

Long known for their popular Hazy IPA, Goat Patch Brewing is proud to present this new IPA on tap and in canned 6-packs at all three brewery locations, and in kegs and cans at bars, restaurants, and retailers in Colorado Springs, Monument, and the surrounding area. 

This foray into clear, canned IPA is a refreshingly dry and intensely hoppy IPA brewed with a trifecta of classic Pacific Northwest hops: Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe. It weighs in at 6.7% ABV with 58 IBUs. This West Coast IPA was popular on tap before the Goat Patch brewing team decided to package it. 

“We brewed this with a super dry grain bill, a Pilsner base to really showcase the hops,” says Co-Owner and Director of Production Operations Darren Baze. “It tasted great brewed on our pilot system, and we’re excited to release this beer on a larger scale.” 

Goat Patch West Coast IPA will be available in six-packs and on tap through springtime, all while supplies last.

Modern Hops Meet Classic Style: Ska Brewing West Coast IPA Is Here

DURANGO, CO— Starting this week on shelves across the nation, Ska Brewing makes its bold return to West Coast IPA. Ska West Coast IPA is a modernized version of this classic American beer style, crafted with a plethora of contemporary hops. 

Ska debuted this beer over Super Bowl weekend at its World Headquarters in Durango, and now you can find it year-round on draft and in cans across Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, New Mexico, and Utah. 

Ska Brewing is home to Colorado’s OG IPA in a can, Modus Hoperandi, which was classic old-school West Coast IPA: super dank aromas, huge bitterness, and amber in color with a full body. Ska West Coast IPA follows the present-day versions which are light and crisp, have moderate hop bitterness, and super piney and citrus aromas. 

“Ska West Coast IPA uses a blend of modern hop varietals that weren’t even available two decades ago; and, even more importantly, modern hop products which are focused on providing a huge punch of citrus and pine character without the grassy, vegetal notes found in older versions of this style,” says Ska Brewing Production Manager Chris Kurr.

Ska’s new West Coast IPA is brewed with Cryo Mosaic, Cryo Citra, Alora, Eureka, CGX Idaho 7, and Strata Hyperboost, an amalgam of hops that pack a dank punch with citrus, peach and stone fruit notes. An incredibly smooth finish, approachable IBUs, and a bumpin’ can design round out this year-round offering.

Media inquiring about Ska’s latest IPA can contact Emily Hutto at hutto@radcraftbeer.com.

Lone Tree Brewing and Public Offering Brewing Collaborate on Wet Hop Beer: Fresh Class Ticket

Public Offering & Lone Tree Brewing teams at Public Offering Brewing

DENVER, CO— Two Denver area breweries, Lone Tree Brewing and Public Offering Brewing, just debuted Fresh Class Ticket, a collaboration wet hop West Coast-style IPA. It is now on tap at both breweries’ taprooms while supplies last. 

Fresh Class Ticket has a ripe, lightly tropical and fruity aroma, with flavors of bright red berries, strawberries, and tropical melon that finish smooth and slightly resinous with subtle bitterness. 

Fresh Class Ticket was brewed with fresh kilned Root Shoot Malting Pilsner and Chit malts and Yakima Chief Fresh Wet Citra hops flown directly from Yakima Chief Hops before dry hopping with fresh cryo frozen Strata hops from Crosby Hops. The brewing teams at Lone Tree and Public Offering excitedly tracked the flight status on the flight delivering their hops, adjusting the brew time accordingly to make the freshest beer possible. 

“We even fermented it cool with lager yeast to preserve all those delicate oils,” says Cody Higginbottom, Founder at Public Offering Brewing. “Expect to have your palate saturated with loads of bright, brash, ripe, fruity, leafy and resinous fresh hop flavor on a dangerously drinkable beer. A massive thank you to our agricultural partners Yakima Chief, Coleman Agriculture, Crosby Hops and Root Shoot Malting, for all the sweat, sacrifice, and logistical hoop-jumping to help us craft this super soaked, super fresh green gem.”

The brewing teams at Lone Tree Brewing and Public Offering Brewing go way back. Harvest season felt like the perfect time to collaborate on a recipe, and help Public Offering to craft their first-ever wet hop beer. “We’ve been fans of Public Offering since before they opened,” says Lone Tree Brewing Director of Tasting Rooms Michael Webster. The timing couldn’t have been better with Yakima Chief Hops’ FRESH HOP AIR landing the 2025 harvest straight to the brew deck. We couldn’t be happier to bring a taste of the Pacific Northwest backyard right here to Colorado.”

Ska Brewing Toasts To 30 Years of Characters Brewing Beer With Character

DURANGO, CO— Ska Brewing will celebrate 30 years in business this weekend at their World Headquarters in Durango, Colorado. The weekend will include an Art Show & Pop Up Shop with music by guest DJ Chuck Wren of JUMP UP RECORDS on Friday, and the sold out anniversary invitational with the long awaited headliner Less Than Jake on Saturday. 

In true Ska fashion, the brewery has been toasting this milestone all year with Forgotten Flagship Fridays, bringing back fan favorite recipes like Steel Toe Stout, Buster Nut Brown, and Moral Panic. These beers sold out immediately, and built the hype among locals for the celebration ahead. This 30th anniversary weekend is the culmination of the brewery’s alignment with the ska music and art industries over its remarkable 30 year run, and counting. 

On Friday, September 5 from 4 to 7pm, all are welcome at the Nan Coffey Art Show & Pop Up Shop with music by guest DJ Chuck Wren of JUMP UP RECORDS. Nan Coffey is a contemporary artist based out of San Diego, CA known for her punk rock/ska collaborations with bands like Rancid, Fishbone, Less Than Jake, and Horace Panter of The Specials, just to name a few. DJ Chuck Wren founded JUMP UP RECORDS back in 1993, and he’s coming all the way from Chicago to play the show. Also at this event, Ska will release a very limited special brew commemorating 30 years. 

On Saturday, September 6 from 4 to 9pm, Less Than Jake will headline the sold out Anniversary Party & Brewer’s Invitational that will feature pours from 30 of Ska’s brewery brethren from all over the country. Special guests The Pietasters, Bite Me Bambi, and DJ Chuck Wren will also dazzle the crowd. This annual celebration at Ska has become one of Durango’s hallmark events, and one of the Four Corners area’s sought-out showcases of ska music. 

“I love making beer; I’ve done it now for more than half of my life, and every September I look forward to celebrating another year,” says Ska Brewing Co-Founder Dave Thibodeau. “But it isn't about me, it’s about thanking the community who’ve been there for us all along–30 years! Whodathunk it? This’ll be a group toast I’ll never forget!”

From comic book to brewery to craft beer institution, the now 30-year Ska Brewing story continues to be written. Guests at the 2025 Great American Beer Festival should mark their calendars for another Ska 30th anniversary shindig featuring The Nuns of Brixton at Larimer Lounge on Saturday, October 11.

True Blonde, the first Ska Brewing beer ever, still winning awards 30 years later

DURANGO, CO— Talk about tried and true— Ska Brewing’s longest standing and most decorated beer, True Blonde Ale, has done it again. After recognition among the 15 Years of Good Food Awards Finalists, this time-honored and beloved honey ale was named a Good Food Awards winner by the Good Food Foundation late last month. 

True Blonde Ale joins a select group of 55 winners across 18 categories who have demonstrated enduring excellence in taste, craftsmanship, and ethical production. For fifteen years now, the Good Food Awards have been celebrating food (and beer!) that is both delicious and responsibly produced. This year, the Good Food Foundation collected ballots to determine more than 8,000 finalists from the public in support of their favorite producers who had previously won Good Food Awards. 

True Blonde Ale is a crisp, medium-bodied blonde ale that is crafted with honey from Durango’s specialty honey producer, Honeyville. It’s a true staple in the American craft brewing community that’s been around since 1995. It’s available across Ska’s national distribution footprint, and of course at the brewery’s World Headquarters in Durango. 

True Blonde Ale is a five-time Great American Beer Festival® winner and a two-time World Beer Cup® awards winner. It has also been recognized at the Colorado State Fair, and the L.A. International Beer Competition. 2025 marks True Blonde Ale’s second win in the Good Food Awards. The first was in 2019. 

"I still remember that first True Blonde. It was the very first beer we ever brewed back when we first opened 30 years ago, and the first two kegs were served at the Telluride Brewer’s Festival— now known as Blues & Brews," regales Dave Thibodeau, President and Co-Founder at Ska Brewing. "It's a huge source of pride for us that our first beer is still our most recognized."

Hop Zombie To Be Transformed For Summer Solstice at Lone Tree Brewing Parker

PARKER, CO– Lone Tree Brewing Company’s cult-followed Hop Zombie will branch out and grow friends in Parker this summer, making an appearance on Summer Solstice at the brewery’s new location. 

Hop Zombie stirs beneath the glow of the longest day of the year, rising again— but this year, the thirteenth anniversary of this notorious creature, transformed by the heat and haze of summer into an Imperial Juicy IPA that lures you in with hypnotic waves of tropical fruit and concealing a potent 9% ABV bite. True to its lineage, Hop Zombie is loaded with several hop varieties, including Nugget, Strata, Motueka, Cryo Motueka, and Cryo El Dorado. 

As per usual, Hop Zombie will appear for one day only on Saturday, June 21, beginning at 11am. The first 10 undead souls who arrive at the brewery will score a free glass, and all who are lucky— and timely— can purchase limited 6-packs and specialty swag, but only while supplies last. 

The Summer Hop Zombie artwork is inspired by another cult favorite, The Sandlot movie. This year’s t-shirts and glassware say "You’re killing me, Zombie!” Don't strike out—be there when the Zombie rises. (And, be on the lookout for the original zombie to creep onto the taps at Lone Tree’s original location this fall.)

The 2 Salty Sarge food truck will be on-site slinging ballpark-style eats to pair with this new Hop Zombie variant.

Lone Tree Brewing Honey Lager Hits Cans For Spring

COLORADO— Lone Tree Brewing presents a new spring seasonal, freshly canned and available in Colorado and Kansas. Honey Lager hits the shelves this week, and lager lovers can find it on tap at both of the brewery’s South Metro Denver locations. 

Lone Tree selects its seasonal cans based on popularity in the tasting rooms, making Honey Lager an obvious choice for the 2025 spring offering. 2-row barley, Dextrin, Biscuit, Honey, and Munich malts comprise the grist of this Golden Lager, with additions of Jasmine rice and Colorado honey that create sweet malt aroma and subtle honey flavor. Cascade and Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops balance this lager’s sweeter side, and round out the beer’s crisp, refreshing finish. 

"This beer signals a fresh start to the spring season for us,” says Lone Tree Director of Brewhouse Operations Jerry Siote. “It's a delicate dance when incorporating the local honey at the right stage of fermentation to get a finished product that's not overly sweet, but still carries the essential aroma and flavor qualities of the honey itself. The Jasmine rice comprises more than 30% of the overall grain bill, and lends a very soft, vanilla-like profile that increases drinkability of the beer. It's an extremely balanced lager, and it's something we've been excited to share with the market for a while now.” 

Honey Lager will be available on draft at Lone Tree Brewing’s tasting rooms in Lone Tree and Parker, as well as packaged in cans and kegs for the Colorado and Kansas markets. Ask for it on draft at your favorite bars in Colorado, and look for canned 12oz 6 packs while supplies last this spring season.

Bootstrap Brewing Announces Double Lush Puppy Juicy IPA

LONGMONT, COLORADO— Bootstrap Brewing announced today its Double Lush Puppy Juicy IPA will begin hitting store shelves in March through distribution partners in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.

“When we released Lush Puppy Juicy IPA at 6.3% ABV in 2019, it became our #2 best-seller behind Insane Rush IPA. We wanted to take the same juicy, hazy characteristics of Lush Puppy and turn it into a 9.2% Imperial Juicy IPA that was easy-drinking, full of flavor and aroma, with value-pricing the consumer could afford,” explains Steve Kaczeus, Owner/Brewer of Bootstrap Brewing. “Thus was born Double Lush Puppy Juicy IPA with the perfect blend of hops and malt. Idaho 7 and Citra hops combine to give a tangerine flavor with notes of citrus, tropical fruits and stone fruits. Double Lush Puppy Juicy IPA is for both the casual beer drinker and the adventurous craft beer enthusiast who wants a little more cowbell.”

The company plans to donate 1% of beer sale profits this year to nonprofit groups and shelters focused on fostering, housing, and rehoming dogs. “We did a similar program with our Lush Puppy launch in 2019, and with the help of our distribution and on-premise partners were able to save a lot of pups that year and we’re planning to replicate that with this beer as well,” explained Leslie Kaczeus, Chief of Stuff for Bootstrap Brewing. “Coloradans love their dogs and it’s always fun to meet people who say they see their dog on our can artwork.”

Double Lush Puppy Juicy IPA is a tropical, citrusy, luscious IPA that encourages another sip. At 9.2% ABV and 41 IBUs, Double Lush Puppy will be available in 6 packs of 12oz cans and kegs for draft accounts.

Lone Tree Brewing Reflects On Growth and Two Locations In 2024 Year In Review

LONE TREE, CO— After opening their second location in Parker, Colorado in spring of 2024, Lone Tree Brewing experienced a year of growth— in volume, and most importantly in community. 

Here is the 2024 Lone Tree Brewing Company Year In Review. 

Beer In Review 

On top of the brewery’s flagships, Lone Tree released several seasonal and specialty packaged beers in 2024. These included Hefeweizen, Juicy IPA, Oktoberfest, Vanilla Caramel Amber, Centennial Hat Trick IPA, and a lime-infused variant of their award-winning Mexican Lager recipe. 

Hop Zombie, the cult-followed Imperial Red IPA, crept back to the taps for the twelfth year. As per usual, it produced a day’s worth of temporary insanity with a line out the door awaiting its arrival. 

Production

In 2024, Lone Tree’s brewing team produced 3,935 barrels of beer brewed with 270,013 pounds of grain and 4,760 pounds of hops. They filled more than half a million 12 oz. cans– 526,608 to be exact. 

Throughout the year, the brewery recaptured 219,480 gallons of water. Their reused pallet wraps saved 410 pounds of plastic wrap from landfills.

Team

Upon opening of the new location, former tasting room manager Michael Webster was promoted to Director of Tasting Rooms and Matt Glocke and Candace Peterson were promoted to manage the Lone Tree and Parker tasting rooms, respectively. 

Also in 2024, Lone Tree added a new Sales Representative, Brandon “Bo” Bontrager; a new Packaging Manager, Jaden Lundell; and a new Packaging Assistant, Jeff Gombos, to the growing team. In total, the brewery now has 26 employees. 

Sales & Distribution  

Lone Tree sold their packaged beers across Colorado in 2024 via their longstanding partnership with Western Distributing. Sixty five percent of these sales were in the Denver Metro area. The brewery also sells beer in Kansas through Worldwide Beverage Group. 

In January, Lone Tree began packaging and distributing Blueberry Blonde Ale. This SKU quickly climbed to the top of their distribution charts, ending the year as the company’s second most popular SKU (after Mexican Lager) at 12 percent of total distribution volume.

Community and Events

Lone Tree donated more than $20,000 to their nonprofit partners last year. These contributions included $14,000 for the Bridge Transition Program at the brewery’s annual car show. Other recipients of their philanthropic efforts included the Douglas County Library, Drink for Pink, Lim359, the Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue, the Lone Tree Police department and Special Olympics of Colorado, and the Rocky Mountain French Bulldog Rescue. 

Lone Tree celebrated 13 years in business with a brewery bus loop between tasting rooms in December. Both locations are home to loyal regulars, many of whom came out to celebrate the anniversary.

Moving Forward 

“It has been a successful year of taking roots in the community of Parker and continuing to grow friends,” says Assistant Tasting Room Manager Candace Peterson. The first anniversary of Lone Tree’s second location is just weeks away, slated for March 1. Customers can also look forward to a Parker-specific rendition of the famed Hop Zombie— an Imperial Juicy IPA that will be the first in the Hop Zombie: Summer Solstice Series to debut on June 21. 

In addition to this Hop Zombie variant, the Lone Tree brewing team has been working to refresh its IPA recipes. They’ll add a new Hazy IPA to the canned lineup this summer. 

“The brewhouse staff has been hard at work refining existing recipes and experimenting with new methods and techniques at the Parker location,” says Co-Owner and Director of Brewhouse Operations Jerry Siote. “These efforts are instrumental in bringing the best quality beer to our customers in 2025, and beyond.”

Lone Tree Brewing To Tap Pepper and Pastry Stout Month Recipes

COLORADO– Lone Tree Brewing is going big for Stout Month 2025, with five limited edition Stout releases throughout February. 

Stout Month is a Colorado tradition that Lone Tree loves to celebrate. Their brewing team has long used Stout as a canvas for innovative flavors, and this year’s Stout Month lineup is no exception. Both Lone Tree Brewing locations in Lone Tree and Parker will tap the following specialty Stout recipes as follows: 

February 1 - Barrel Aged Donut Imperial Stout

February 7 - Tiramisu Stout

February 14 - Cherry Chocolate Stout

February 21 - Chipotle Pepper Stout

February 28 - White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Stout

These Stout flavors were selected by Lone Tree’s tasting room managers Matt Glocke and Candace Peterson, along with our Sales Representative Brandon Bontrager. We’re curious about which of these will be the most popular at our two locations,” says Director of Tasting Rooms Michael Webster. 

In case you’re wondering, the Barrel Aged Donut Imperial Stout was indeed made with donuts— thirteen dozen of them made by Mr. Donuts, located down the street from Lone Tree’s original brewery location on Park Meadows Drive.  

All of Lone Tree’s Stout Month releases will only be available while supplies last. Customers can fill growlers and Crowlers of these draft-only Stouts as long as they’re on tap.

Lone Tree Brewing Premieres Centennial Hat Trick IPA

COLORADO– Lone Tree Brewing is excited to release a brand new IPA crafted with nouveau Yakima Chief Hops products. The new beer, Centennial Hat Trick IPA, taps at both Lone Tree locations Friday and hits shelves across Colorado next week. 

Centennial Hat Trick IPA, named for its three Centennial hop ingredient additions, is a West Coast-style IPA brewed with American-grown Centennial hops, Centennial Cryo Hops®, and Centennial HyperBoost™ for a multi-layered flavor profile of citrus, pine, and tropical notes. The fact that it’s brewed in the Centennial State is an added bonus for its namesake. 

Yakima Chief Hops Cryo Hops® pellets are the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils, and HyperBoost™ is a concentrated hop oil extract intended to amplify hop aromatics and increase yield. Both of these products are made from single-hop varieties to deliver variety-specific aroma boosts to the finished beer. 

In nearly thirteen years in business now, Lone Tree has always experimented with different hop varieties and combinations, hopping techniques, terpenes, and other innovative hop products. “By using Centennial in all three forms (traditional T-90 hop pellets, concentrated Cryo Hops® pellets and now the concentrated HyperBoost™ oil extract), the resulting beer can hold a very saturated and layered hop profile with all aroma and flavor components shining through at the same time,” says Jerry Siote, Director of Brewhouse Operations. “Not only does it help the grower community continue to develop these products with our partners at Yakima Chief Hops; it also helps brewers accomplish a bold IPA with more yield to go around.” 

Centennial Hat Trick IPA debuts on draft and in canned 6-packs at both of Lone Tree’s locations on Friday, November 22. Hop lovers can find it in select establishments and retailers across Colorado through the winter season.

Hop Zombie Creeps Up On Lone Tree Brewing On October 26

LONE TREE, CO– For twelve years now, the legendary, award-winning Lone Tree Brewing Hop Zombie Imperial Red IPA will creep around the brewery for one day only: Saturday, October 26.

Hop Zombie is a big, bold IPA with a devilishly delicious blend of hops. At 9% ABV and a formidable 90 IBUs, it’s an unforgettable brew that generates a line out the door before the brewery even opens. Individual 12oz. cans, 6-packs, and cases of this limited edition IPA will be available for purchase— and expected to sell out by midday. 

The cult-followed Hop Zombie is the most anticipated beer release of the year at Lone Tree Brewing. Winning the silver medal at the 2017 Great American Beer Festival® only boosted its lore. 

Lone Tree gives this notorious zombie a fresh look each year for limited edition merchandise. This year, the Zombie was inspired by the 80’s. It’s fun and playful with vibrant colors— walkman, boombox, and windbreaker included. “I wanted to see our zombie friend enjoying himself, knowing next year for his 13th anniversary it will get pretty dark again,” says Lone Tree Brewing Assistant Tasting Room Manager Matt Glocke. “It’s always a party in the tasting room on Hop Zombie day, and this year our undead friend will be deejaying!” 

The first ten people in line will receive a free limited edition of the 2024 80’s inspired Hop Zombie glass. Guests who show up in the flesh can also purchase speciality glassware and t-shirts while supplies last.

Lone Tree Brewing Company To Host Fourth Annual Charity Car & Bike Show For The Douglas County Bridge Transition Program

LONE TREE, COLORADO— Lone Tree Brewing Company will host the fourth annual Charity Car & Bike Show benefiting The Douglas County Bridge Transition Program on Saturday, September 7. Lone Tree has raised more than $20,000 for this nonprofit organization since the start of their partnership in 2021, and hopes for another successful year of donations at this popular event. 

Lone Tree Brewing Company is neighbors with The Bridge Program at its original location in Lone Tree, Colorado. In 2021, The Bridge Program moved its annual car show to take place in front of the brewery, with a silent auction inside.

“With the help and insight of friends who had hosted car shows in the past, the first event turned out better than anyone could have imagined,” says Lone Tree’s Director of Tasting Rooms Mike Webster. To-date, Lone Tree and The Bridge Program have hosted three car shows with auctions that in total have raised more than $20,000 in support of students and families transitioning from school into the adult world. 

The 2024 Charity Car & Bike Show at Lone Tree Brewing in Lone Tree on Park Meadows Drive will take place on Saturday, September 7 from 9am to 2pm. There’s free registration for those who want to show off cars and bikes and more than 40 auction items available. Donations to The Bridge Program are encouraged. Learn more here. 

“Our partnership with The Bridge Program extends beyond this car show and keeps growing year over year,” adds Webster. “We also create work opportunities in the brewhouse for students from the Bridge Program, and last year I was even invited to speak at the Bridge Program graduation party. We’re very proud to collaborate with this great organization.”
