New Colorado Breweries

Just saw this:

Black Bottle hasn't even started the build out yet of their spot yet, so I don't see anything happening until the fall. I work in the same strip mall that Black Bottle is moving into.

Cactus Bend was rumored to have signed a lease across the street from the library, but word on the street is that fell through...

 

News on Avery's expansion, goes for final approval tonight.

I was at Amato's on Sunday, so we decided to walk over and take a look at Prost. While they've got their signs up and the building looks good, it definitely looks to be at least a month or so from being ready to open.

TRVE Brewing is Actually Brewing Beer

So we’ve been getting a lot of questions lately. Two of ‘em stick out more than the others though:

• When can I join the Cvlt?
• When are you guys opening?

We’re happy to say that we now know when these are both gonna happen.
CVLT INITIATION
We wanted to be sure that we’d have some beer on hand to give you a little sample when you pledge your oath to us. Now that our first batch is bubbling away in its fermenter, we know when we’ll have that beer available for you.
On June 9th, 2012 at noon we’ll open our doors to the public for the first time. We’ll let ya walk around a bit and check the place out (though we’ll probably still have some finishing touches to put on the place). You’ll get a sample of Wanderlust, our Belgian-American Pale. Best of all you’ll finally be able to pick up the badass growlers we’ve been dying to get in your hands.
Some of you have expressed a desire for a particular number of the edition – We’ll be selling them in numerical order. We’d recommend setting up a sleeping bag in front of our space the night before if not for that newfangled camping ban.
OPENING OUR DOORS
What day are you gonna be able to get more than a sample of our hellaciously tasty beer? We’ve decided that on June 27th, 2012 at 4PM we will be open for business. Come in and help us fulfill our goal of having everyone at the bar windmill headbang in sync. Hope to see you all then!
Stay Thrashy, Denver.

 

Third Question:

How do you say your name? "TRVE"

I presume since you're using CVLT as CULT, then TRVE is pronounced TRUE?

Because up until now I've just been telling people "T.R.V.E."

Pardon my ignorance

 

Yup, so I read somewhere. Kind of like the Surf/MMA clothing company RVCA is actually pronounced "Ruca."
Anyone had any kind of pilot stuff from Trve yet?

 

I have been wondering the same thing, was wondering if it was an acronym until I heard about the "CVLT".

As long as they are making tasty beer I guess I don't care, lol.Especially since I drive by the place every single day on the way home.

Will find out the 27th!

 

\m/ I also enjoy the Metal reference \m/

 

Just walked by the Hog's Head. Outside is done, brewing tanks up, front room....a bit cluttered. I'm thinking June opening, according to my finely ill-tuned judgment of such things.

 

Super excited about HH. I can't wait for some cool, flat, English ales *drool*

 

Oh yeah - it's old news, but Caution is up and running. I'm sure it's likely because they've been brewing for a while, but their initial line-up of beers might be the most solid of any of the recent start-ups. Not a flaw in the whole bunch. It's a godsend for those people over in Stapleton. It's like having a Strange or Wit's End in your own backyard.
On opening night I think that literally every other brewer in town showed up to help them out. Pretty crazy how cool our community is around here.

 

I saw a few other BA's in the TRVE line this morning. Word seems to have definitely gotten around about them. Pretty cool place that's definitely NOTHING like the other spots around town. I'm really curious what it will look like once the decor is finished. They were only pouring samples of their first beer today, but it was good. Apparently it's using an experimental hop in it. They're hoping to have an IPA, Black IPA, and Gose in the near future. Hopefully Hogshead will keep up this trend of good/unique new breweries.

 

how dare you leave off Prost for unique-ness
(going by there tonight...may take a gander--not a goose)

 

Based upon looking at the place last week, Prost still seems to be a little ways from opening...plus they'll have to sit on those lagers for 5-6 weeks once they're brewing, too. Trust me, I might be the person who is most excited for Prost, though. An award winning brewer making Franconian dunkel and selling it by the mass? Yup, I'm there.

 

Went by, couldn't really see inside.

 

Here's a new development! Black Fox, which contracts out of Bristol in Co. Springs will be moving up to Denver per their Facebook. They're ceasing production for the moment until they open up here, although they do have a collaboration with Trinity on the way pretty soon. I'm a big fan of their stuff, so this is great news.

 

swung by Trve on Saturday, was impressed with the beer they had on as well as inspired by the guys' passion for beer and for the neighborhood they are contributing to. as this is about 1 mile from my office, they will be seeing me an awful lot around 430 during the week. happy to have them here.

 

Love the approach and I'm sure I'll love the beer, I'm just not so sure about the pentagram on the invite. Kinda makes me feel like if I visit too often maybe I'll be drinking kool-aid instead of beer.
