    Great Storm in Colorado Springs 'officially' opens this Saturday. They've been kinda open for a week now. Their Belgian Strong Ale is fantastic.

    Also Hogshead and Three Saints both have licenses to brew, just awaiting construction/renovation of their buildings.

    And correction on my OP, it's TRVE

    I could be wrong, but I think Loveland Alewerks is looking closer to a June opening. :Shrugs:

    Hey Guys,

    Saw this thread and thought I would update you on the happenings at Elevation.

    We have our tasting room grand opening planned for May 19th, as well as the bottle release of our first Black Diamond Series Apis IV, (Dark Belgian Strong) that day. Should have 2-3 bands and a couple food trucks as well as 8 beers on tap at the brewery.

    We will have our Blue Series, First Cast (West Coast IPA) and Mount Blanca (Colorado Saison) available in April in Chaffee County, as well as a few specialities around town. Hope to see you all here and so excited to try all these other breweries in CO.

    Cheers.

    The Elevation Team.

    I know they tried to raise funds through crowd funding, but didn't meet the goal.

    To start with, but we will eventually be in the market for a Front Range Distributor.

    Yeah, that's what I've read. They're still moving forward, but just doing it on their own a bit slower. They got some of their licenses taken care of recently and I know they have some of their equipment.
    Here's their blog: http://blackshirtbrewingco.blogspot.com/

    I think what they're doing is pretty interesting. They've got a niche idea and they're going all-in with it. Lately I've had a think for simple straight forward reds and ambers, so I'm pretty eager to try their stuff.

    What exactly is the idea? I get its something with ambers/reds but their sites didn't seem to offer up too much informaton on them.

    From what I've read, they're essentially only making red ales using local CO ingredients, but with different spins on the idea. Different hops/yeast/etc. I know there's more to it, but that's the gist. I guess they have made a pilot standard American red that is supposed to be to die for.

    Sounds awesome.

    I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the recent fad of amber/red fused pale Ales like Odell's Red, Deschutes Red Chair and would love to check out different spins on a red/amber. Hope things work out for them and they can a quick opening because I am ready for whatever they have to offer.
