Hop Zombie To Be Transformed For Summer Solstice at Lone Tree Brewing Parker
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.
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 Honey Lager Hits Cans For Spring
Honey Lager by Lone Tree Brewing hits the shelves this week, and lager lovers can find it on tap at both of the brewery’s South Metro Denver locations.
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.

Lone Tree Brewing Reflects On Growth and Two Locations In 2024 Year In Review
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.
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
Lone Tree Brewing is going big for Stout Month 2025, with five limited edition Stout releases throughout February.
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.
Media interested in covering Lone Tree’s Stout Month beers can contact Emily Hutto at hutto@radcraftbeer.com.

Lone Tree Brewing Celebrates 13 Years With A Bus Loop Between Tasting Rooms
A free shuttle service will be available to transport guests between the breweries, and each location will tap special beers for the occasion.
COLORADO– Lone Tree Brewing, the first brewery in Lone Tree, will celebrate 13 years in business on Saturday, December 7 at both of its locations in Lone Tree and Parker, Colorado. A free shuttle service will be available to transport guests between the breweries, and each location will tap special beers for the occasion.
After opening its second location earlier in 2024, Lone Tree’s tasting room teams wanted to plan an anniversary party that gave guests the opportunity to celebrate at both taprooms. Enter a brewery bus loop and a bonus beer. This service will run from noon to 8pm, and riders can enjoy a surprise beer available exclusively on the bus. Both locations open at 11am when they’ll tap a Maple Doughnut Hazelnut Praline Imperial Stout and Barrel-Aged Barleywine. There will be custom etched insulated mugs available for purchase at both locations while supplies last.
At Lone Tree Brewing’s main location in Lone Tree, special tapings will include a Mocha Stout Firkin (noon), and a Mango Habanero IPA Firkin (2pm). The One and Only Jon Hamm will play live from 1 to 4pm, Mobile Screen Printing by White Rhino Printing begins at 1pm, and Silent Disco will close the night down from 5 to 9pm.

Lone Tree Brewing Premieres Centennial Hat Trick IPA
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.
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
Cult-followed Lone Tree Brewing Company Hop Zombie Imperial Red IPA returns for the twelfth year.
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 To Release 2024 Batch Of Vanilla Caramel Amber

This autumnal seasonal will tap at both of Lone Tree Brewing’s locations on September 27, and hit shelves and taps across Colorado the first week of October.
Vanilla Caramel Amber is one of the brewery’s most requested beers among accounts in Colorado; it’s pack full of seasonal flavors but still super drinkable.

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.

“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.”

COLORADO— The 2024 batch of Lone Tree Brewing Oktoberfest is now canned and available at retailers across Colorado. Lone Tree is thrilled to bring a slice of the German Oktoberfest tradition to its communities in Lone Tree and Parker, Colorado where celebrations that feature this lager will take place on September 14 and 21.

It’s crafted with traditional European malts and German Hallertau Mittelfruh hops to emulate this classic beer style. This amber-hued beauty weighs in at 5.5% ABV, with rich, toasty and bready flavors, minimal bitterness, and a dry finish.
Oktoberfest is available on tap and in canned 12oz. 6-packs at the brewery in Lone Tree, and at select locations in Colorado, and Kansas too. This seasonal lager will be the featured beer at Oktoberfest celebrations going down at each of Lone Tree’s locations in September— in Lone Tree on Saturday, September 14 and in Parker on Saturday, September 21.

Lone Tree Brewing Cans Seasonal Variant To Its Flagship; Introducing Lime Mexican Lager
Introducing Lone Tree Brewing Lime Mexican Lager in cans. Its base is flagship 5.3% ABV Mexican-style Lager recipe with the addition of real lime purée.
LONE TREE, CO— Lone Tree Brewing has a new seasonal variant of their award-winning flagship on the market, just in time to welcome summertime in Colorado. School’s out, sun’s shining, and Lime Mexican Lager is here.
Colorado can’t get enough of Lone Tree’s Mexican Lager— this three-time Great American Beer Festival® winner started as a draft-only beer; and like all of the brewery’s canned offerings, it was so popular in the tasting room that it eventually graduated to a can back in 2015. Today you can also buy 12-packs of this crowd-pleasing, year-round crusher; and the Mexican Lager style is more popular than ever before. So popular, in fact, that Lone Tree created a new lime-infused variant of it to welcome longer, warmer days.
Introducing Lime Mexican Lager in cans, yet another Lone Tree draft offering turned packaged beer. Its base is Lone Tree’s classic 5.3% ABV Mexican-style Lager recipe with the addition of real lime purée.
“We’ve received overwhelming positive feedback on this beer at our two tasting rooms in Lone Tree and Parker,” says Lone Tree Brewing Director of Tasting Rooms Michael Webster. “There’s genuine enthusiasm for how refreshing the Lime Mexican Lager is on a summer day. Combine that with strong sales data, and we saw this beer was a perfect candidate for our next seasonal can.”
Lone Tree Brewing Mug Club members get first access to this new beer on Friday, June 7. It will be available to the public on draft and in cans to-go at both Lone Tree locations on Saturday, June 8. The following week, look for Lone Tree’s seasonal Lime Mexican Lager on draft and in 12oz. 6-packs available across Colorado, and in Kansas too.

Mexican Lager 12-Packs, 12 Years, and A GABF Medal: Lone Tree Brewing Publishes 2023 Year In Review
In 2023, Lone Tree Brewing won a coveted GABF® medal for its best-selling Mexican Lager, introduced 12-packs of said lager to distribution, contributed $4,500 to causes the brewery cares about, and celebrated 12 years in the Colorado craft beer business.
LONE TREE, CO— In 2023, Lone Tree Brewing won a coveted GABF® medal for its best-selling Mexican Lager, introduced 12-packs of said lager to distribution, contributed $4,500 to causes the brewery cares about, and celebrated 12 years in the Colorado craft beer business.
Here is the 2023 Lone Tree Brewing Company Year In Review.
Beer In Review
Lone Tree brought back its popular Hefeweizen, Oktoberfest, and Vanilla Caramel Amber in seasonal cans in 2023, and also introduced the year-round SKU Blueberry Blonde and winter seasonal Brownie Stout across Colorado and Kansas. In the fall, the legendary Hop Zombie Imperial Red IPA crept on tasting room taps for one day only. In the winter, the brewery introduced Brownie Stout in cans.
This year Lone Tree also introduced 12-packs of its flagship and decorated Mexican Lager. This beer, Lone Tree’s top seller, won its third Great American Beer Festival® medal, a silver in the American Light Lager category at the 2023 awards.
Production
Lone Tree produced 3,543 barrels of beer in 2023, using 239,000 pounds of grain and 3,600 pounds of hops. Lone Tree filled 570,048 cans last year.
Throughout the year, the brewery recaptured 130,820 gallons of water and reused pallet wraps that saved 400 pounds of plastic wrap from landfills.
Sales & Distribution
Lone Tree sold beer across Colorado and Kansas through longstanding distribution partnerships; Western Distributing and Ska Brewing in Colorado, and Worldwide Beverage Group in Kansas.
Community and Events
Lone Tree’s philanthropic contributions totaled $4,500 in 2023. Among the recipients were Drink for Pink, Big Dogs Huge Paws, the Evans Scholarship Fund, Douglas County Libraries, the Honor Bell Foundation, and the Moving Mountains Animal Rescue. The third annual Douglas County School District Bridge Transition Program & Lone Tree Brewing car show raised more than $12,000 that helps facilitate the transition from school to the adult world through meaningful learning opportunities within the classroom and community.
In 2023, Lone Tree presented its annual market series including the Summer, Oktoberfest and Fall Craft markets; each featuring more than 20 local craft vendors.
Exciting for Lone Tree Brewing’s tasting room customers is the installation of a new photo wall that sports Lone Tree’s slogan, Take Root Grow Friends. Social media selfies are encouraged, with the hashtag #takerootgrowfriends.
In December of 2023, Lone Tree celebrated 12 years in business with four specialty beers made for the occasion. The brewery extends gratitude to its friends and family for coming out to celebrate another successful year in business.
Moving Forward
“We’re always giving our portfolio close examination to stay nimble in the dynamic Colorado beer marketplace, and we’re pleased to see consumer demand for styles that we love to brew the most— including lagers, fruit beer, and traditional European styles,” says Lone Tree Brewing Sales & Marketing Director Dennis Stack. “We’re thrilled that our customers love Hefeweizen and Oktoberfest, two seasonals that sold out rapidly last year. Both of those beers will return in 2024, along with two new seasonal cans: Juicy IPA in spring, and building upon the momentum of the Mexican Lager category with Lime Mexican Lager in summer.”
Lone Tree will celebrate the grand opening of its second location in Parker (at 18425 Pony Express Drive) on Friday, March 1. After years of searching for another space, the company is thrilled to expand in 2024.

LONE TREE, CO— Lone Tree Brewing is ecstatic to announce its second location in neighboring city Parker, Colorado— slated to open in March.
After years of searching for the brewery’s next location, Lone Tree Brewing will open another taproom in the former Barnett & Son Brewing Co. location at 18425 Pony Express Drive in Parker, Colorado. Barnett & Son Owner Andrew Barnett, a long time friend of Lone Tree Brewing, will soon retire; Transforming this location into Lone Tree Brewing 2.0 was the perfect fit.
“The acquisition of Barnett's brewing assets and tap room will allow Lone Tree to research and develop new and innovative recipes that will be served at both locations for the immediate future,” says Jerry Siote, Lone Tree Brewing Co-Owner and Director of Brewhouse Operations. “The flexibility and versatility of brewing on a smaller system in Parker can provide much-needed customer feedback for scaling up newer recipes and further experimentation.”
The Lone Tree Brewing team will take over operations at the end of February 2024, and target a public grand opening for March 1, 2024. More details about the opening will be announced in coming weeks.
