    Talked with Branden through email. Insanely nice. I hope they are able to get this off the ground soon!

    The VSP Pub and Brewery got everything in order just a few minutes ago. They're now able to brew and do growler fills.

    I wonder if there will be any legal challenges from other breweries with multiple breweries &/or multiple retail locations - Breckenridge, Miller Molson Coors, Wynkoop, Yak & Yeti, etc.?

    I think Vine Street's biggest issue was neighborhood zoning. That shouldn't be an issue for the other breweries since they already have established locations.

    While they had an issue with the hood about the zoning change for their brewing operation and for the height exemption to add a second story to the "back room" to accommodate the large brewing equipment, their latest battle was with the state regulations concerning the "brewed on site rule" to sell beer to go.

    Wasn't that due to the fact that they weren't actually brewing on site? I think now that they are brewing on site, they can sell beer to go.

    This is true. The "catch" was how to sell growlers of, say, Kind at the Boulder locations, since all that is to be brewed at VSP/B. Paul tried to explain it to me, but I was drinking and I'm kinda slow (well, not slow drinking). It would be interesting to see how that's all set up

    Howdy,

    I think the following *could* open by Father's Day:

    Black Shirt, Denver - active on Facebook but not much detail on their opening date;

    Hogshead, Denver - I suspect no news is bad news in their case;

    Prost, Denver - last month I heard "mid May", but that's only 1 work week away, so ...?;

    TRVE, Denver - as above;

    Sud's Brothers, Fruita - a month ago they said "very soon" but the "very" part was incorrect;

    Loveland Ale Works, Loveland - a window tour a week ago looked like a week or more to go.

    If you have firm dates for a soft &/or grand opening for any of the above, please let us know!


    Not open by or in June would be:

    Black Bottle, Fort Collins - late July to mid August;

    Cactus Bend, Fort Collins - has no building, so I'd think Labor Day at the earliest;

    High Hops, Windsor - mid August to Labor Day.


    Cheers & Fresh Beers, Roger, retiring Colorado Craft Brewery lister
