The six Grand County breweries that participated in the collaborative East Troublesome Pale Ale initiative were able to help raise $34,000 for the Grand Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps people who were evacuated, displaced or lost their homes to the devastating East Troublesome wildfire last year. And 27 home brewers who entered the East Troublesome home-brew competition were also part of the fundraising effort. Root Shoot Malting, alongside Colorado Hop Company and Propagate Labs, donated ingredients to the breweries for the beer; the recipe and ingredients were then made ava...

Left Hand Brewing will stage-dive into Denver next year when it opens a huge new taproom and restaurant next to the Mission Ballroom in a burgeoning entertainment complex along Brighton Boulevard. The 7,500-square-foot taproom won't have brewing equipment, but it will include a full menu, a large covered patio, an indoor-outdoor stage for live music, and private dining and event spaces. Left Hand also hopes to coordinate with Mission Ballroom's high-powered operator, AEG Presents, on shows, VIP parties and other events that would take place before and after headline acts appear at the venue....

Colorado has four area codes, but only 303 can lay claim to being the first (it was put into place in 1947), the oldest by far and the most palindromic. That OG vibe also gives it the most cachet, which is why people in Denver and its suburbs, which is where most of the 303 numbers are distributed, like to name their restaurants, auto shops, stores, publications and products after those magic digits.

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. The effort, called Makin' Noise, raised more than $40,000 over the next few years. Although Makin' Noise is on hiatus now as a new administration comes to Washington,...

The pandemic has hit breweries and restaurants hard, but it may have hit college-campus businesses even harder, since they rely on students visiting in person for much of their income. 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. In December, just before Christmas, the brewery’s ownership group laid off at least half of its staff, including its lead brewers, brewery director and longtime taproom manager; it also overhauled its management for the second time in three years: Tivoli p...
