Denver’s River North Brewery Changes Direction
(Denver, CO) – River North Brewery, Denver’s perennial purveyor of fine Belgian-style and barrel-aged ales, is preparing to broaden its malty worldview — a move that will certainly satisfy hop heads and lager lovers alike.
River North’s flagship Belgian-influenced brews like White, FarmHouse and J. Marie will soon have some American and German inspired brethren.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
River North Pils, a dry-hopped German style lager, is already flowing in the brewery’s taproom, and will hit bars around Denver this week. Today, the brewery will also tap Hooray for Hops Vol. 1: Inexplicable Hoppenstance, the first in a series of American IPAs. This first rendition is loaded with Simcoe, Cascade, El Dorado, Falconer’s Flight and Columbus hops. Behind that: River North Porter, a sessionable robust dark brew perfect for fall, and another American IPA, Hooray for Hops, Vol. 2: Electric Lupuloo.
While these beers are draft-only for now, the brewery recently commissioned a new Crowler machine for filling 32-ounce cans straight from the taps at its 6021 Washington Street taproom. In the long term, several of these upcoming beers and their descendants will make their way to 6-pack cans on store shelves across Colorado in early 2017.
