The Colorado craft beer scene has taken some hits recently, but new additions are still outpacing the closures.
There have been a lot of headlines in craft beer recently about brewery closures and the stagnation of an industry that has been defined by rapid growth in recent decades. However, brewery openings are still outpacing closures — at least in Colorado. On the heels of October’s on Friday, November 10 in the former Black Project space at 1290 South Broadway. Monahan is a professional brewer, but it wouldn’t be inaccurate to call him a professional brewery starter, too.
Monahan will be brewing on the same three barrel system that Black Project used. He also took a selection of the Black Project barrels that remained on site and is blending a beer with them. The famed koelschip that created so many beers at Black Project will remain, and Monahan plans to make use of it this winter.
At the upcoming Longmont outpost, Hearon has room for eighteen taps and everything will be brewed onsite. “We don’t do any distribution,” says Hearon, adding that the brewery will fill cans and growlers for customers. Given the small releases, don’t expect to see any of the Omaha barrel beers releasing in Longmont anytime soon. “I don’t want to take away from Omaha at all,” he says, “I want to develop our own program .” Hearon will start filling barrels later this year, and expects the first barrel aged beer release to be in late 2024.
