DENVER, CO — August 12, 2017 marks the 125th Anniversary for Denver institution The Brown Palace Hotel. To celebrate, Strange Craft Beer Company has brewed a batch of beer with water from the Brown Palace’s artesian well and a touch of honey from the hotel's rooftop beehives, and aged it for four months in Stranahan’s Diamond Peak Whiskey barrels. The Brown Palace Golden Age tops the charts at 12.5 percent ABV as a potent nod to The Brown's 125th. A very limited number of bombers will be available at The Brown Palace.
The Brown Palace Golden Age was brewed with 60 pounds of Colorado honey in honor of The Brown Palace’s rooftop beehives and 10 pounds of English East Kent Goldings hops on a base of English Maris Otter and Brown malt, and fermented with Strange's house Belgian yeast. It has sweet honey aroma and roasted, dark chocolate notes, all amplified with whiskey qualities from its time spent in barrels. This beer will gain complexity over time.
The label for Golden Age was developed by students at The Art Institute of Colorado.
Reservations for The Brown’s Strange Craft Beer 12.5% Anniversary package, which includes a bottle of this beer, are available beginning August 1. Guests can also taste the beer on draft at Ship Tavern in the hotel while supplies last.

ABOUT CANCERBLOWS
In 2013 43-year-old Dallas Symphony Orchestra trumpeter Ryan Anthony was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a terminal bone marrow cancer that typically appears in patients aged 70 and older. Ryan’s musical community rallied around him and when they offered support, he jokingly replied that “we’ll all play a concert when I am healthy again and we’ll call it 'Cancer Blows'”. Ryan is now in remission, and the joke morphed into The Ryan Anthony Foundation, who in 2015 put on CancerBlows, a once-in-a-lifetime musical event bringing together the most famous trumpet players in the world. The event raised more than $1 million with all of the net proceeds donated to the Baylor Health Care Research Foundation and Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation that work toward a cure for cancer.

Pikes Peak Brewing Releases 2017 Batch of Incline Imperial IPA
This Imperial IPA, named after the legendary Manitou Incline hiking trail in nearby Manitou Springs, is one of the brewery’s most popular beers.
MONUMENT, CO — Pikes Peak Brewing releases the 2017 batch of the famed Incline IPA today. This Imperial IPA, named after the legendary Manitou Incline hiking trail in nearby Manitou Springs, is one of the brewery’s most popular beers.
The Incline Imperial IPA is a study in hopping, says Pikes Peak Brewing Founder and Head Brewer Chris Wright. Constructed to match the proportions of the steep Manitou Incline hike, it utilizes massive additions of Mosaic, Columbus, and Centennial Hops (more than three pounds per barrel) atop a light grain bill of mostly 2-row malt that helps the hops shine. “This beer is so fragrant and floral,” Wright says. “It’s an illustration of how you can take hopping to the extreme.”
Much like the Manitou Incline, this beer is not for the faint of heart. It clocks in at 10.5 percent ABV with a calculated 185 IBUs.
Incline Imperial IPA will be available in very limited quantities in 12-ounce 6-packs across the state of Colorado, and it wont last long. In past years this beer has sold out in a few short weeks.

They understood the vibe of Colorado and community and put them together in a way that conveys such.”
“Lone Tree embodies a persona that we feel should exemplify craft beer culture – as a company, they are collaborative, community driven, and down-to-earth,” says Anthem Branding’s Art Director Monte Mitchell. “They understand the nature of being Coloradoan; committed to friendliness, approachability, and a general love for the outdoors. We love what they’re doing and brewing.”
New cans of Lone Tree Brewing Peach Pale Ale and Mexican Lager (that will replace Mountain Mama Helles on the brewery’s core line of beers) are now available across the state of Colorado. The Branching Out series bombers have a new look as well. Each one will feature a different variety of flower embedded in its artwork.

The Brew Hut Celebrates 20 Years In Business
AURORA, CO— The Brew Hut, Aurora’s homebrew shop, is celebrating its 20th anniversary next month. The shop was founded by homebrewer Scott Newcomb, who wanted to create a one-stop shop for fellow hobbyists. “There were 14 homebrew supply shops in the area when I opened up The Brew Hut, but in order to put one recipe together I had to go to three or four of them to get all the ingredients,” Newcomb says. “That was the main purpose of The Brew Hut— to give people exactly what they needed for each brew. And to provide the best customer service.”
To-date, The Brew Hut does just that. As the largest homebrew supply shop in Colorado, it gives homebrewers exactly what they need for each brew and it’s well-known for its knowledgeable and friendly customer service. Its legacy has been carried on by current owners Kevin DeLange and Michelle Reding, who purchased The Brew Hut from Newcomb in 2002.
“When Michelle and Kevin came along, they loved the growth we’d already had. When they purchased The Brew Hut, Kevin and I sat in the back and he asked me if I were to keep the business how would I grow it? I told him I would knock out the wall next door and open a craft brewery,” Newcomb says. “They took that idea and ran with it. I couldn’t be happier that it grew the way that it did.”
Join Scott Newcomb, who is flying to Colorado from Florida where he’s currently opening a craft brewery, at The Brew Hut to celebrate its 20th anniversary on June 6 from 11am to 3pm. Guests are encouraged to bring their homemade beer, wine, cider, mead, cheese, and more to share with fellow homebrewers. They can also taste The Brew Hut’s employee homebrew showcase, purchase commemorative Brew Hut t-shirts and posters, and enjoy 20 percent off discounts on select merchandise. The Brew Hut’s anniversary party will also feature carnival games and raffle prizes, as well as homebrew demonstrations from The Fermentologists homebrew club and Aurora City Brew Club.
In honor of its sister business, Dry Dock Brewing Company is brewing The Brew Hut’s Anniversary Beer using a new, experimental hop variety from the Hallertau and Tettnang growing regions of Germany called Mandarina Bavaria. These hops create a sweet, fruity aroma with strong notes of tangerine. The Mandarina Pale Ale will tap at South Dock, located next door to The Brew Hut at 15120 E Hampden Avenue, for the anniversary party on June 6.

Barrels & Bottles Brewery Named 2014 Golden Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year
GOLDEN, CO — Barrels & Bottles Brewery in downtown Golden was just named the 2014 Golden Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year. This longstanding recognition is dedicated annually to a for-profit member of the Golden Chamber of Commerce that has contributed to both the local economy and to regional activities in exceptional ways.
“Barrels & Bottles has already established themselves in the Golden community,” says the Chamber’s Member Services Director Jayne Byl about the less than two-year-old brewpub. “In a couple of quick, crazy years they have contributed to the community by honoring others with fundraising opportunities, as well as participating in street fairs and several other City of Golden events.”
Barrels & Bottles regularly supports Chamber of Commerce functions like the Taste of Golden, the Fine Arts Festival, the Golden Chili Cook-off & Beer Festival, First Friday events, and the Golden Ladies Only Sample Tour, among other events and organizations. Zach and Abby George are also members of the Chamber’s Young Professionals Group.
ABOUT THE GOLDEN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Barrels & Bottles Brewery Celebrates its Grand Opening in Golden
GOLDEN, CO— Barrels & Bottles Brewery, Golden’s newest brewery and pub, celebrates its grand opening tomorrow Friday, September 20th at 5 p.m. The new tap room at 600 12th Street will be serving half pours of its very limited first batches, including a German rye ale and a blond ale made by head brewer Shaun Salyards.
In addition to Shaun’s beers, Barrels & Bottles is debuting with 17 guest taps, and 24 kinds of wine on tap. “We’re creating a tap list that reflects who we feel are under-represented in this area,” says Shaun. Barrels & Bottles is Equinox Brewing’s first non-Fort Collins account and Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Projects first account in Golden.
The new bar also boasts one of the state’s only fusion towers that infuses beer with fresh hops, coffees, and other botanicals to enhance aromas.
After this weekend, the new pub will launch its small plates menu that will be handcrafted from scratch by co-owner Abigail Schuh George. She and her husband Zachary George moved to Colorado in 2012 with Barrels & Bottles in mind. They spent their first few years in the state touring countless Colorado breweries and attending festivals like Odell’s Small Batch Fest where they met their head brewer.
Barrels & Bottles also offers a variety of bulk olive oils and vinegars for sale. Much like a growler fill, you can return with your empty bottle for eco-friendly refills.
The Barrels & Bottles bar was built out of old doors and barrel staves from Rocky Mountain Barrel Company, and all of the barstools and tables in the tap room are reclaimed. Even the water station is built out of an old barrel. One of their walls sports a glass panel from their front windows slated for brewery stickers.
