Temperatures are warming up and patios will be open to enjoy a beer this weekend.

Alpine Dog Brewing plans to reopen in the former Denver Bicycle Cafe as year after it moved out of its space near the Ogden Theatre.

The pandemic certainly wasn’t good for breweries. But it did force many to rethink the way they do business, and now, as the smoke clears, a few are in a position to succeed like never before. One of these is Woods Boss Brewing, which is in the midst of a major expansion that will add a new, 3,400-square-foot event space and music venue, a canning line capable of sealing eighteen cans per minute and expanded capacity that will allow it to brew twice as much beer. When the changes are complete...

In advance of Inauguration Day in 2017, two Denver brewers decided that they needed to take action in order to support the people (and places) who were most at risk of being persecuted under the new administration. So Bess Dougherty and Kelissa Hieber did what they do best: They brewed beer. They were joined by a host of like-minded breweries who all made beer that was sold in order to raise money for nonprofits and charities.

For Tivoli Brewing, which occupies a unique spot in the Tivoli Student Union building on the Auraria campus, this double whammy has had a crippling effect.
