Funkwerks
Fort Collins, CO. Funkwerks was born from an award-winning homebrewer and a brew-loving accountant; Gordon Schuck and Brad Lincoln. The duo founded Funkwerks in 2010 after meeting at the Siebel Institute of Technology in Chicago where they were both studying Brewing Science. Funkwerks focuses primarily on saisons and sours, but also offers a range of Belgians and American styles, barrel-ages small batches and other specialty brews.
Sanitas brewing coMPANY
Boulder, CO. In the fall of 2013, amidst the Boulder Floods, two former Boulder Beer brewers founded Sanitas Brewing Company. Given the deluge of water that surrounded their new brewery and barrel-aging room on the east side of town, Founders Michael Memsic and Chris Coyne thought it only appropriate to name their first barrel-aged sour Deluge. To this day you'll still find beers from the Deluge Series regularly available in their taproom along with a number of other Sour Beers, Lagers, IPAs, and experimental beers.
CRYSTAL SPRINGS BREWING COMPANY
Louisville, CO. After retiring from a 30-year career as a local band teacher, Tom followed his wife’s suggestion to follow his passion for home-brewing and open a small brewery. Fortunately for the rest of us, Tom is a smart man and listened to his her and, in 2010, Crystal Springs Brewing Company received the first ever Federal Brewing license under a Home Occupancy Law and became the first Commercial Brewery in the United States that existed in a residential garage. Today, Crystal Springs still has that brewery in the garage, but they also have a full production facility and two tasting rooms in Louisville.
DENTED BRICK DISTILLERY
Salt Lake City, UT. For Dented Brick, it started with a simple idea. What if they could build a world-class distillery in one of the driest states in the nation? Dented Brick strives to create unique spirits that tell authentic tales about the land and the history of their beloved home and bring those stories to other states. They utilize locally-sourced ingredients in their premium beverages and engage in responsible and sustainable production practices to create craft spirits that meet the highest standards of quality and integrity.

Copper Kettle Brewing Company
Denver, CO. Husband and wife, Jeremy Gobien and Kristen Kozik, founded Copper Kettle Brewing Company in 2010 and opened their tasting room in 2011.

FLYTE CO BREWING
Denver, CO Founders Eric and Jason were both engineering students at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Like many engineers they became fascinated with the scientific process of beer making. Their nerdiness and precision that was natural to both of them led to some truly excellent beer. It didn’t take long for the idea of starting a brewery to get mentioned.
In 2013, Morgan joined the team. Their mutual passions for beer and sharing good times with others ignited the afterburners on what would become FlyteCo Brewing in 2019.
Crazy Mountain Brewing
Denver, CO. Crazy Mountain Brewery Co. began in Vail Valley in 2010. They have since created a significant footprint in the craft beer community on the front range and beyond - with CMBC being found in 24 states and 9 countries at one point. Steadily moving closer to Denver, they now call Ogden Street home.
