Crafty Ales and Lagers

It’s all my wife’s fault…In the summer of 1994 Jennie brought me to an Arts, Crafts & Beer festival in downtown Denver, CO. I still remember my first taste of craft beer. It was JuJu Ginger (now Good JuJu) from a little outfit in Longmont, CO called Left Hand Brewing Company.

I was blown away. I couldn’t believe beer could have that much flavor and complexity.

For Christmas that year Jennie got me a home brewer’s starter setup which included a Munton’s Dockside Porter kit. Even though it took 7 hours and I ruined our stove top, the beer was drinkable and I was hooked!!

The rest, as they say is history…my history anyway. We opened our doors in June of 2013 with 3 beers on tap eager to expand the taste buds of our soon to be local customers.
