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.  

Media interested in learning more about the now 13-year Hop Zombie legacy and this new variant can contact Emily Hutto at hutto@radcraftbeer.com.

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.”

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 Hop Zombie Returns October 28

LONE TREE, CO– Get ready to raise the dead and your taste buds as Lone Tree Brewing celebrates 11 years of the legendary Hop Zombie Imperial Red IPA. The beer will creep into the tasting room for one day only on Saturday, October 28. 

This year, Hop Zombie Imperial Red IPA is bigger and bolder than ever before. With a devilishly delicious blend of hops, this brew boasts a 9% ABV and a formidable 90 IBUs. Individual 12oz. cans, 6-packs, and cases of this limited edition IPA will be available for purchase.

Each year a line forms out the brewery door on Hop Zombie Day, and this year the brewery will reward the first ten people in line with a free limited edition Hop Zombie glass. For the rest of the undead souls in line, speciality glassware is available for purchase while supplies last. Guests can also look forward to this zombie apocalypse with themed decorations, eats from Rustic Nomads, and custom 2023 Hop Zombie t-shirts.  

Hop Zombie has made phantom appearances on an annual basis since 2012. It was the silver medal winner at the 2017 Great American Beer Festival®, and it is undoubtedly the most anticipated beer release of the year at Lone Tree Brewing. Don’t blink and miss it!

Lone Tree Brewing Reports Production and Philanthropic Impact in 2022 Year In Review

LONE TREE, CO— In 2022, Lone Tree Brewing maintained its community commitments with the production of both fan-favorite and innovative new beers, and more than $20,000 donated to philanthropic initiatives. Here is their Year in Review.

Production

Lone Tree produced 3,923 barrels of beer in 2022. 248,772 pounds of grain and 3,541 pounds of hops went into these recipes, which yielded 3,566 kegs of beer on draft and 567,120 cans. 

Throughout the year, the brewery was able to recapture 111,600 gallons of water and reuse pallet wraps that saved 350 pounds of plastic wrap.

Lone Tree Hefeweizen, a tasting room favorite-turned-seasonal, hit cans for the first time in the spring of 2022. In the fall, the famed Vanilla Caramel Amber returned for its sixth season in cans. 

Sales & Distribution 

Lone Tree continued to sell beer across Colorado through distribution partners Western Distributing and Ska Brewing, and in Kansas through Worldwide Beverage Group. 

On Halloween, the cult-followed Hop Zombie Imperial Red IPA escaped from the brewery in limited quantities after selling out in a matter of hours at the brewery.

Community and Events

Lone Tree donated more than $8,300 and many beers toward nonprofit organizations in 2022, including Drink for Pink, Big Dogs Huge Paws, the Evans Scholarship Fund, the Honor Bell Foundation, World Central Kitchen, and the Moving Mountains Animal Rescue.

The brewery was proud to bring back the second annual Douglas County School District Bridge Transition Program & Lone Tree Brewing car show, which raised more than $12,000. Lone Tree is also grateful for the six student interns from this program who help with daily tasks to keep the brewery in good working order. 

Additionally, Lone Tree participated in Douglas County Library Brew Tours that raised funds and awareness for the Douglas County Libraries.  

Over the course of the year, Lone Tree also hosted four local craft markets featuring 50 craft vendors; three dog adoption events with Big Dogs Huge Paws; a Halloween dog costume contest with 40 adorable pups in attendance; a Father’s Day Pig Roast with a 90-pound hog cooked by Hesher BBQ Catering; and its annual salsa and guacamole contest at which 30 contestants showed off their skills. 

It’s worth noting that in 2022 Lone Tree Brewing staff achieved two hole-in-one shots at the Commonground Golf Course in Aurora, Colorado— both on the same day during a fundraiser for the Colorado Golf Association’s caddy program that Lone Tree Co-Owner Jerry Siote participated in as a kid. 

In December when Lone Tree celebrated its 11th anniversary in community with their staff and many brewery regulars. “We are honored that our community chooses us again and again, reminding us that we wouldn’t be here without them,” says Lone Tree Founder and Co-Owner John Winter. “We’re committed to continue serving compelling, quality beers that help us do good outside of the brewery.” 

Moving Forward 

In 2023, Lone Tree has an exciting lineup of canned seasonals planned: Hefeweizen will return in spring; summer will reveal a brand new Honey Cream Ale; fall staples Oktoberfest and Vanilla Caramel Amber aren’t going anywhere; and winter will bring another new beer, Brownie Stout, to the mix. Stay tuned for release dates. 

The brew team has plans for experimental, small batches that will be served in the tasting room only; and is actively exploring new products beyond beer, too. "2022 reinforced the importance of staying relevant for the long haul,” says Siote. “Our customers demand a high standard of consistency and quality from us, so we take that very seriously.  When it gets this competitive along with all the other obstacles to grow and keep market share, the margin of error shrinks that much more. We love the challenge, and we know we have the goods to back it up."

Many events will enliven Lone Tree’s tasting room this year, starting with the Hearts & Hops Sock Hop with Swingin’ Denver and local band Last Call Romance. The brewery plans to host many returning favorites, such as its local craft markets, the third annual Douglas County School District Bridge Transition Program & Lone Tree Brewing car show, and another Drink For Pink fundraiser, among many other activities.
