Great Divide Brewing Co

"Opening in 1994, this Ballpark pioneer (which now boasts three satellite taprooms, including the Barrel Bar in RiNo) helped put Colorado on the national craft-brewing map with such now-iconic beers as Denver Pale Ale, Colette Farmhouse Ale, and above all Yeti Imperial Stout. But there’s always plenty more in the pipeline — from Orabelle, a tripel brewed with barley, wheat, oats, and rye, to the Philly Sour with Sicilian Lemons." - Eater Staff

"Open since 1994, it has had a long time to work (and rework) its recipes, so it now wins GABF medals at a nearly annual clip. These beers are so beloved that today there are four locations in the Denver area. One standout pour is the Yeti Imperial Stout, with a big roasted, caramel, and toffee flavor profile that feels tailor-made for sipping around the campfire. Throughout the year, different iterations of the Yeti come out, so keep an eye out for pumpkin spice, horchata, and peppermint bark infusion." - Bailey Berg

"Walk down any street in Denver, and there’s a good chance you will run into one of the city’s hundred-plus craft breweries, brewpubs, and taprooms. There’s an even better chance you’ll have a good time inside. That’s certainly the case at Great Divide Brewing Co., one of the first craft breweries to catch fire back in the mid-’90s and still a perennial favorite of locals and out-of-towners alike. Of course, there’s plenty more great craft breweries where Great Divide came from." - Eater Staff

"From Bavarian to French to Turkish and Peruvian-style beers, this new around-the-world taproom taps into its owner's travels for new ingredients and slight twists on the standard craft beer styles. See Italian Basil IPAs, Imperial Turkish Coffee Stouts, and Chicha brewed with corn, cinnamon, clove, and lime juice." - Eater Staff
