Resolute Brewing Rebrands, Invests More In Local Malt, Shares Community Influence in 2022 Year In Review

COLORADO— For Resolute Brewing, community is everything. The brewery just reported numbers, philanthropic impact, a greater investment in local ingredients, and an ongoing rebrand. 

Here is their 2022 Year In Review. 

In 2022, Resolute embarked upon a rebrand to present a more refined aesthetic. They debuted their new logo, glassware, and merchandise in the fall, and have 2023 plans to integrate the new branding into the design of their taprooms. 

Resolute Brewing produced around 1000 BBL of beer in 2022 by Head Brewer Kyle Larkin and Brewers Nico Cervantes and Ethan Munoz. Its original location in Centennial is the site of brewing operations, while the Arvada Tap & Cellar location is the home of the company’s barrel aging projects. Of note in 2022 was Resolute’s shift to Denver local Leopold Bros. as their primary base malt provider. 

“Leopold Bros. is producing super high quality floor malted grain,” says Larkin. “Their Pilsner malt is in many of our mainstays, and we use as much of their other malt styles as we can. I love sourcing locally and we’re grateful to have such a strong connection with our maltster.” 

Larkin and the whole Resolute team were overjoyed to receive the brewery’s first Great American Beer Festival® medal for their German-Style Doppelbock category for Execrator Doppelbock. Resolute was also awarded a gold medal at the 2022 Best of Craft Beer Awards for the Doinkinbonk Porter. 

Throughout the year, Resolute hosted events for and donated more than $5000 to more than 20 local philanthropic organizations including; Hog Haven Farm, Special Olympics, Project Helping, Ray of Hope Cancer foundation, Rainbow Alley and Pawsitive Restoration.

Resolute is extremely proud to provide community spaces that, beyond serving as comfortable gathering places, also give back to their communities in Centennial and Arvada. These taprooms function under the leadership of General Manager Jamie Gibbs, Arvada Taproom Manager Ashley Nikel, and 13 rockstar bartenders committed to great hospitality. Resolute has 19 team members total, including Lucas Wattles who supports Resolute’s can distribution across Colorado’s Front Range. 

Resolute is excited for the year ahead, with collaborations, new beers, and more community events underway. Stay tuned on their website and social media channels for updates.

Lone Tree Brewing and Resolute Brewing Present Abundant Forest, A Dark Rice Lager Collaboration

COLORADO— Lone Tree Brewing and Resolute Brewing are psyched to debut their first-ever, long time coming collaboration: Abundant Forest. 

Abundant Forest is a dark lager brewed with Leopold Bros. pilsner malt, flaked rice, and chocolate malt; and hopped with German hop varietals Ariana and Callista. This easy-drinking, rich-colored lager yields notes of sweet malt, floral bouquet, and cocoa dusted raspberries. It weighs in at 6% ABV. 

“The conversation about what to brew went to dark lager pretty quickly,” says Resolute Head Brewer Kyle Larkin. “Knowing this beer would be released and consumed during the colder months, we wanted a beer with a warming appearance and nose, but easy drinkability. The end result was a dark rice lager. The crew over at Lone Tree have used rice quite a bit in their beers, and it's an ingredient we haven't really played around with here. So we were excited to incorporate it into the recipe.” 

South Metro Denver neighbors and friends for years, these two breweries were excited to finally collaborate. You can taste their creation on draft at both Resolute locations in Centennial and Arvada, and at Lone Tree Brewing in Lone Tree- all while supplies last.

Resolute Brewing Takes Home First GABF Medal For Execrator Doppelbock

COLORADO— Resolute Brewing Company was honored with its first Great American Beer Festival® (GABF) medal at the 2022 competition, a silver in the German-Style Doppelbock category for Execrator Doppelbock.

Brewing Doppelbock is a balancing act to produce full-bodied, dry-finishing lager that yields flavors of roast, toast, and dark fruit. “There is such a variety of lager styles, but behind the majority of them is an emphasis on drinkability,” says Head Brewer Kyle Larkin. “We love hops but we also love beers that we can have pint after pint, and that’s the space our lagers fill. Beyond that, they are challenging to brew and a good way to test ourselves as there is nothing to hide behind. Our dedication to dialing in our process and putting out the best beer we can paid off with our recent GABF win.” 

Resolute Brewing’s expression of this style was inspired by Tröegs Independent Brewing’s Troegenator. “This was one of my favorite beers during my tenure with Troegs and still continues to be. So my aim was to capture the same flavors but in my way. And the result couldn't have been better,” Larkin adds. "Execrator was forged upon a base of German Munich and Caramunich malts, along with floor-malted Pilsner malt from Leopold Bros. Malting in Denver. After a long hibernation, this strong lager has emerged rich and malty, oozing with notes of sweet caramel, toasted dark bread, and warm dates."

Among the total 9,904 commercial brewery entries in this year’s competition, the German-Style Doppelbock or Eisbock category had 47 entries. Resolute is one of 18 brewing companies to receive their first GABF recognition in 2022. 

Taste Execrator Doppelbock at both of Resolute’s locations in Arvada and Centennial while supplies last. A batch of this lager is currently resting in Bourbon barrels, to be released in coming months.

Fermly and Resolute Brewing Present Arnold Palmer-Inspired Guild-Tee Party Beer For The Colorado Brewers Guild

DENVER, CO— Fermly, an independent lab for brewers based in Denver, debuts its latest collaboration this week. Guild-Tee Party was brewed with the Resolute Brewing team to support the Colorado Brewers Guild. 

Guild Tee Party was brewed to create the classic flavor profile of an Arnold Palmer, perfect for a late spring tee time. Brewed with Pilsen and Cologne malt from BSG, Carafoam from Weyermann Malt, and Orange Pekoe tea from The Tea Spot in Boulder; and hopped with Magnum hops and tea in the boil to begin the first steps of infusion. 

“The wort tasted like black tea but heavily sweetened,” says Emily Wang, Co-Founder and Lead Scientist at Fermly. “All of those fermentable sugars were broken down by Inland Island Golden Kolsch yeast to create an idyllic crispy profile. Whole lemon puree was added after fermentation. Best recommended to enjoy in collared shirts and well-coiffed lawns.” 

Guild-Tee Party was served at the annual Colorado Brewers Guild golf tournament, and it made its debut at both of Resolute’s tasting rooms in Arvada and Centennial this week.

“Teaming up with Fermly for the CBG Tourney was a no-brainer. Emily and Danny provide an incredible service for us and many other breweries around the state,” says Andrew Duvall, Community & Sales Manager at Resolute Brewing. “Guild-Tee Party showcases their talents while celebrating a grand return to hanging out with all the awesome folks we so dearly missed in 2020. Ultimately, we miss doing kickass things with our friends in the industry, so we brewed about it! Also, the CBG helped us navigate so many obstacles throughout the pandemic by providing constant updates and guidance, while advocating for legislation such as direct-to-consumer deliveries. We would've been lost without them, so this beer is for the Executive Director Shawnee and company!”
