Kannah Creek Brewing Toasts to 10 Years of Success
(Grand Junction, CO) – Kannah Creek Brewing Company to celebrate 10 year anniversary with a week of events, October 18 through 25 at the 12th and Orchard location.
Kannah Creek Brewing Company opened October 25, 2005 in the building that previously housed Prime Cut Restaurant. Kannah Creek’s owners converted the buffet restaurant into a brewpub with onsite seven barrel brewhouse. After a decade of business, Kannah Creek Brewing Company now has two restaurant locations and a production facility all based in Grand Junction, with distribution of their bottled beers throughout Colorado.
“It is hard to believe we have been Kannah Creek Brewing Company for ten years,” states Jim Jeffryes Co-Owner and Head Brewer. “We thought, initially, that if we could get to our three year anniversary we had a good chance at success. So, after ten years, I sincerely thank our community for supporting our brewpub family.”
The eight days of anniversary events start Sunday, October 18. Specialty 10th Kannahversary logo barrel glasses will go on sale for $5 each. On Monday, October 19, Kannah Creek’s brewers will hand tap Nick King’s Salted Caramel Porter Firkin.
