This was the first brewery that we hit when we were in Denver. I was already pretty psyched to be with the guys, but then to hit up a brewery was even better. It seemed kinda small and there weren't very many people there. One wall was clear which allowed the people sitting in the bar to see the fermenters which was nice.
While we were sampling the beers, this dude came over and asked us if we liked the beer and wanted to go on a tour of the brewery. Hell Ya! They are a commercial brewery (never been to one before) and they did all their own bottling in that facility. Even cooler, we weren't looking at everything behind a glass window. Very chill.
My favorite beer for this brewery was Agave Wheat, a wheat ale brewed with agave nectar. Agave Salmiana, aka 'Giant Agave' (5-6' high 10-12' wide), used in the brewing of the beer is the 'great wine making agave' to the Tehuacan and Puebla regions.
This brewery gets an A-. They enjoy the beer business and it shows in the excellent quality of their product.
