Jackass Hill Brewery

Jackass Hill has long held a spot of prominence in the Littleton area. Not only for its historic connection but also its scenic overlook of the South Platte River valley. It was the sun setting over this majestic valley, tucking away behind the stoic peaks of the Colorado Rockies, that captured the imagination of the founders of Jackass Hill Brewery. The founders are Littleton’s childhood friends: Pat Somers, Chuck and Roseanne Thenell, Kevin Miller, and their Colorado friend, Jeff Bennett. After building a house at the top of Jackass Hill 24 years ago, Pat would invite friends and family over to enjoy the view. It was sitting out on his front porch on Jackass Hill Road, with a cold beer in hand, watching the last sunbeams turn to dusk with friends and family, that Pat dubbed his front porch Jackass Hill Brewery.
