Denver Metro Breweries Release Gluten-free Collaboration Brew for Celiac Awareness Month
Participating breweries include Holidaily Brewing Company, Timnath Beerwerks, Two22 Brew, Broken Compass Brewing, Uhl’s Brewing Company, Black Forest Brewing Company, and Goat Patch Brewing Company.
DENVER, CO— Denver Metro breweries have teamed up to brew a gluten-free beer in honor of Celiac Awareness Month, which occurs in May each year. This month is growing in popularity, and is centered around advocacy of Celiac Disease, affecting around 3 million individuals in the U.S.
Participating breweries include Holidaily Brewing Company, Timnath Beerwerks, Two22 Brew, Broken Compass Brewing, Uhl’s Brewing Company, Black Forest Brewing Company, and Goat Patch Brewing Company.
The breweries convened at Holidaily Brewing Company to brew a Mexican Lager, which was brewed with local, certified gluten-free millet as well as malted yellow and blue corn, and a touch of noble hops.
Mexidaily Mexican Lager is the perfect way to kick off warm weather, with a touch of corn-like sweetness in the body and a refreshing, crisp finish.
This project is near and dear to participating breweries, as the number of those with Celiac Disease continues to be on the rise in the U.S., and thus the increase of customers looking for gluten-free options.
“All of these breweries know someone with Celiac Disease and were excited about the idea of bringing awareness to this disease,” said Garrett Maldonado, Sales Representative for Holidaily Brewing Company. “It’s cool to show that just because you are gluten-free, doesn’t mean that you need to compromise on the craft beer experience typified by Colorado.”
“Celiac Awareness Month is important to us because it affects many people in our community,” said Karen Hertz, founder of Holidaily Brewing. “Our beer is made with 100% gluten-free ingredients so even the most gluten-sensitive consumers can enjoy a delicious craft beer.”
Mexidaily Mexican Lager will be released on draft at all participating brewery taprooms on Cinco de Mayo, May 5th, 2022.

LOVELAND, CO— As an advocate and Member Malthouse for the Craft Maltsters Guild’s Craft Malt Certified Seal program, Root Shoot Malting is excited to announce Colorado’s twelve new craft malt certified breweries.
City Star Brewing, Comrade Brewing, Grist Brewing, Iron Mule Brewery, Jagged Mountain Craft Brewery, Joyride Brewing, Launch Pad Brewery, Mockery Brewing, Station 26 Brewing Co., Timnath Beerwerks, Woods Boss Brewing Company, and Guanella Pass Brewing Co. are the newest Member Breweries in the Craft Malt Certified Seal program, which allows brewers and distillers to communicate their use of and support for distinctive, locally produced raw materials.
These breweries have demonstrated their commitment to locally grown and roasted barley by joining this membership program, and they’re proud to do so. “We joined because we buy malt from Root Shoot Malting. It's important to support our local economy and a fellow manufacturer like ourselves,” says David Lin, Chairman & Founder at Comrade Brewing in Denver. “We were impressed with their dedication to quality, along with their malting facility. Root Shoot helps differentiate our beer while meeting the customers’ desire for local products.”

Jordan Fink, Co-Founder and Head Brewer of another Denver brewery, Woods Boss Brewing, is another advocate for the Craft Malt Seal. “We have a deep and abiding commitment to sustainability, community, education, personal relationships and of course, making amazing beer,” he says. “To that effect, we developed a partnership with Root Shoot Malting pretty much right out of the gate and at this point, almost all of our base malt is supplied by them. Given the opportunity to join the Craft Maltsters Guild and be able to showcase our participation through the use of the Seal was a no-brainer for us. It allows us to promote the folks who supply our grain, what they do, and showcase our beer all at the same time.”
Another of the country’s leading maltsters and craft malt membership crusaders, Riverbend Malt in Asheville, North Carolina, has also encouraged 12 breweries to join the Craft Malt Seal. Learn more about the Seal at craftmalting.com.
