Downtown Denver (No. 9)
By the mid-twentieth century, what was once a thriving business area had become a skid row. As highways and airports diminished the dominance of passenger railroad transportation, the importance of Union Station, LoDo's most prominent building, waned.
Wazee St in LoDo The Lower Downtown Historic District, known as LoDo, was created by the enactment of a zoning ordinance by Denver City Council in March 1988. The resolution's intent was to encourage historic preservation and to promote economic and social vitality in Denver's founding neighborhood at a time when it still held significant historic and architectural value. The status granted by this special designation provided protection to the community's archivable resources and to the 127 contributing historic structures that remained after roughly 20% of Lower Downtown's buildings had been demolished through DURA policies in the 1960s and 1970s. LoDo's historic district ordinance includes zoning that restricts building height and encourages mixed-use development. It stipulates strict design guidelines for rehabilitation and new construction. These guidelines have been challenged by out-of-state developers but are vigorously defended by residents.
During this time, the neighborhood began its renaissance and new businesses opened. Gradually LoDo became a destination neighborhood. By the time Coors Field opened on the edge of the LoDo Historic District in 1995, the area had revitalized itself, becoming a new, hip neighborhood filled with clubs, restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, bars, and other businesses. Pepsi Center, located on the other edge of the neighborhood, opened in 1999 and further established the neighborhood as a sport fan's paradise. New residential development came to LoDo, transforming old warehouses into pricey new lofts.
The Oxford Hotel, built in 1891, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Cruise Room is a hotel bar with historic art deco interior, that was operated as an illicit speakeasy.
The Wynkoop Brewing Company, a brewpub founded in 1988 by Colorado's 42nd Governor John Hickenlooper with partners Russell Schehrer, Mark Schiffler, and Jerry Williams, sponsors the "Beerdrinker of the Year" competition, which is hosted yearly in one of the banquet halls. The Wynkoop has a large billiards hall on its top floor.

Brewers Association Recognition Award
John Mallett, vice president of operations of Bell’s Brewery, Inc. (Galesburg, Mich.)
This award is presented each year to an individual or company whose inspiration, enthusiasm, and support have contributed to the craft brewing movement.

JMM is just over a week away! Here’s a guide to Denver from a Denver mathematician.
I wish I would’ve had something like this when I went to the Joint Meetings in Atlanta and San Diego. Knowing the best spots to go for happy hour, for coffee, to hang out, etc. can make a trip less stressful. So here’s my attempt at listing some of my favorite places in Denver (all within walking distance of the convention center or a short Uber ride!)
FIRST: If you are arriving by plane, I’d recommend you take the train to the city and not call a Uber/Lyft. The airport is really far away from the city and a Uber/Lyft can cost upwards of $30 one way. A train ticket is $11 and also functions as a public transportation day pass.
Note: The public transportation in Denver can get you around the city -- but be prepared to wait for a bus/train due to operator shortages. Personally, I’d recommend you take an Uber if you’re planning on going somewhere too far to walk. Denver does have a free shuttle that runs up and down 16th Street Mall. This is a great way to get around downtown.
See below the cut for my list! This ended up being pretty lengthy, so I didn’t want to take up too much room on anyone’s dash!
FOOD
Ahhhh, food. One of the most important things (perhaps second only to coffee) for a mathematician to have enough energy to sit through so many talks! Here are some of my favorite places:
Illegal Pete’s
Very much like Chipotle. Only much better. Relatively inexpensive, and it’s a quick hop on the free Mallride Shuttle from near the convention center. Happy hour is also really good: free chips and salsa when you order a drink at the bar, $5 margaritas that’ll kick you in the ass, and long happy hour hours (3-8).
Komotodo
Sushi burritos. Need I say more?
Denver Milk Market
Contrary to the name, milk is not sold here. It’s a conglomeration of a bunch of different food stalls -- there’s even a wine bar, beer bar, and liquor bar too. This is my favorite place to go when we can’t all agree on one place. Honestly, it’s just really cool inside too.
Steuben’s
This might be more of an Uber trip but it’s totally worth it for their late night special: $7 Cheeseburger & Fries and a Montucky Cold Snack. Yum.
Sassafras
Okay, so this one is just breakfast. Everyone raves about a restaurant called Snooze...NO. GO HERE. If you like Southern style cooking, you will love this place. It’s so good.
Fat Sully’s/Atomic Cowboy/Denver Biscuit Co.
A restaurant of many names... This is my favorite pizza place in Denver. Gigantic, thin crust, NY style pizza. So. Good. Also in the morning they have amazing biscuit sandwiches. Late night special is also good: $5 for slice and a beer.
COFFEE
Aside from food, you gotta have coffee. After all, “a mathematician is a machine that turns coffee into theorems”!
The Market
It’s your favorite hometown coffee shop. Reasonably priced good coffee. They also have plenty of seating, so you’d never have to worry about finding a table to work on. They also have good food as well. (Make sure to check around back for the free baked good sample basket!)
Little Owl
Great, great coffee. Con is that there is little seating inside, so this is a good place to grab and go.
There’s Also A Starbucks on Every Corner
THINGS TO DO
Not every hour is spent in a math talk, so here are things to do when you’re not at a talk!
1-Up
It’s a barcade. Really fun place. You have to be at least 21 to enter! There’s no food, but the beer is reasonably priced.
Ace Eat Serve
It’s a ping pong and ramen bar. It’s so fun! I’ve never had the food but I’ve spent quite some time playing ping pong in the back. I have reserved tables day of, but they don’t really like that, so call at least 24 hours in advance to reserve a table. I believe it’s around $15/hour. They do have some walk-in tables, but be prepared to wait a while for those.
Hang out in Union Station
Honestly, I love Union Station. I love being surrounded by hustle & bustle and it’s definitely there in Union Station. The outside of the building is cool to look at too. This is also the main transit hub of Denver, so it’s a good place to catch a train or bus.
Museum of Nature & Science
They have an exhibit on the Science of Pixar right now. Too cool.
Walk up and down 16th Street
There’s tons of shops and restaurants lining 16th street.
Denver Art Museum
Honestly you have to at least just walk by it because it’s one of the coolest looking buildings ever.
NIGHTLIFE
Alright all you 21+-ers. Here are my favorite bars and breweries.
Euclid’s
If not just for the name, this is one of the favorites places of the grad students in my department. With a beer list sorted by levels of mathematical concepts, it’s definitely a place for math people.
Pourhouse
You like cheap beer? Here you go. Happy hour M-F open to 8pm with BOGO domestic drafts. Makes it like $2 a beer... Plus: shuffleboard table.
Freshcraft
You like craft beer? Here you go. Beer is a little on the pricier side, but they usually have a really good tap list. Also: really good food.
Falling Rock
Another craft beer bar with an extensive and varied tap list.
You want some breweries?
Here’s what you do. Take an Uber/Lyft to Our Mutual Friend Brewing. Have a beer. Pick any of them -- they’re all good. Then you can walk just a couple blocks to any of the following: Stem Ciders, Ratio Beerworks, Epic Brewing (attempt The Gauntlet -- a flight comprised of a 4oz sample of EVERY ONE OF THEIR BEERS), or C Squared Ciders.
Okay, but what about downtown breweries???
Okay, fair. There’s Wynkoop Brewing Company, opened by former governor and former presidential candidate John Hickenlooper. I’ve never been though so don’t take my word on it.
There’s also Tivoli Brewing, located on my school’s campus.
You also have Jagged Mountain and Rock Bottom.
On the other side of the river, there’s Denver Beer Co. and Prost Brewing. Both are great! Go to Prost if you like German-style beer though!
Blush & Blu
An LGBT-friendly bar. I had a great experience there. Everyone (staff and guests alike) is very friendly and welcoming.
I hope this list serves helpful to anyone who would like it! If you have any questions about the city, feel free to send me a message! I hope everyone has a fun and safe JMM trip! If you see me around, please say hi!

Global inventory of wonderful beer: What I drink is not wine, but creativity!
Isn't beer just yeast, barley, water and hops? Well, it's also right and wrong-for some beer, this statement is simply wrong. The brains of the beer brewer are too big, and sometimes the brewed beer-how to put it-is quite "interesting". The following wonderful beers are the best examples.
Collagen beer Speaking of weirdness, the Japanese definitely do their part. Suntory launched a collagen beer called Precious, which is said to remove wrinkles left by the years and make you look young and invincible. This 5-degree Talrag comes in 330ml cans and contains 2 grams of collagen per can.
Cat Shit Beer You must have heard of the famous cat feces coffee: a civet living in the tropics eats coffee cherries and is discharged from the other side of the body. The action of stomach acid can make coffee beans produce a different flavor. Beer Geek Brunch Weasel from Megele is a breakfast Shitao with an alcohol level of 10.9-be careful, the wine is full of strength.
Bloody (Mary) Beer Well, strictly speaking, it is not based on Bloody Mary, a good brunch partner. However, Short's Brewing Company of Bel Air, Michigan does use cherry tomatoes in its Bloody Beer, as well as black pepper and celery. Rapeseed, wasabi, and dill, so it’s similar to Bloody Mary. This "Cool Beer from Bel Air" has long been discontinued, with an alcohol content of 7, and an international bitterness index of 40.
Fossil beer The Lost Rhino Brewery in Virginia and PaleoQuest, a non-profit organization that promotes the excavation of dinosaur fossils rather than food trends, have teamed up to create a beer that will attract attention to science. They collected yeast from whale fossils 35 million years ago and made a 5.5-degree beer named Bone Dusters Amber Ale. Cool! It's a pity that the yeast is not collected from the fossils of the long extinct rhino or Tyrannosaurus.
Sheep dung beer After reading this list, you will find that Icelandic brewers really have a lot of free time and a whimsical spirit of adventure. The Borg Brugghus brewery is a good example: due to lack of wood, they lighted the sheep dung pile to smoke and roast the malt when making Fenrir Nr26. American IPA smoked and roasted with sheep dung, alcohol content 6, and international bitterness index 63.
Beer older than whale fossils Fossil Fuels Brewing Co has a product called AY108, which uses yeast found in bee fossils. This bee was wrapped in pine resin and turned into amber in the Eocene Eocene 45 million years ago (is it so shocking that it can’t close its mouth?). Professor Raul Cano figured out how to separate the yeast from above, and then wondered how to make the best use of it. Finally, he chose to brew beer instead of bread. The first result is this Dan Aier named after yeast, and there is also a Saisen.
Beer made with money The evil twins collaborated with the Norwegian craft brewer Lervig Aktiebryggeri in the port of Stavanger. The raw material is real banknotes. What's even more exaggerated is that they threw some frozen pizza into it. The alcohol content is 17.5 degrees.
Heavy beer from the toilet The Danish government and Norrebro Bryghus brewery are really fighting for environmental protection, and they even have the idea of urinating. They recovered a large amount of urine from the famous Roskilde Music Festival and used it to brew a Pearson called Pisner. Do you want to contribute to the cause of sustainable development? Then taste the piss of these hippies.
Colorful beer Abashiri Brewery in Hokkaido, Japan uses seaweed and other natural ingredients to brew red, blue and green beer. They also used beer and excess milk to produce a malt drink called Bilk. Apart from other things, at least it is colorful.
Beer made from sewage The sewage in the sewer sounds as disgusting as dirty waste oil. I'm afraid no one can drink anything made of it. The Jushi Brewery in San Diego brewed an IPA using recycled water provided by the city's water purification project. This Dan Air, called Full Circle, is limited to five barrels, but it may indicate the future of beer brewing.
Roald Dahl Beer Yeast is ubiquitous and can be collected everywhere, so why not collect some yeast from the custom desk of the late children's literature writer Roald Dahl? London creative company Bompas & Parr entrusted this task to 40FT Brewery to brew Odious Ale for a pop-up restaurant based on Dahl's "Stupid Couple".
Beer from the moon Dogfish Head Brewery is keen to challenge the limit, but often thinks too crazy and circumvents itself in, but the time when they ventured into space may be their most rebellious exploration so far. With the help of the company that makes spacesuits for NASA, they got some dust on the moon, which was taken from NASA where the moon landed on the moon—well, no more obscurations, it’s on the moon— —Collected, and then spilled into this limited edition beer called Oktoberfest. Alcohol 5, International Bitterness Index 25.
Elephant Poop Beer The Japanese brewery Sankt Gallen wanted to brew a beer that will be unforgettable, so he thought of elephant poo. How does it work? They fed coffee cherries to elephants living in Thailand’s wildlife sanctuary, and then brewed a "chocolate shitao" called Un, Koon Kuro (a pun for "poop" in Japanese) from elephant dung coffee beans. It was also selected for sale on April Fool's Day, but this is not a joke.
Beer as dark as ink Cuttlefish juice—or more precisely the juice of cuttlefish, squid and octopus, or the juice of cephalopods—can be said to be everywhere now, so you can’t help thinking that these animals are scared when they face the extinction of humans. What is it like? Anyway, the master brewer of 3 Sheeps in Wisconsin created a black IPA called Nimble Lips Noble Tongue No3, using cuttlefish juice.
Too private beer We are all adults, but the Internet will always surprise us head-on, especially when you see a page on the crowdfunding website Indiegogo for the world’s first vaginal beer fundraising-this one is called Bottled Instinct's acid ale uses lactic acid extracted from a Czech model. We don't know if anyone will drink it, because this project has not even raised 1% of the final goal of 150,000 euros, and it should be a joke on April Fools' Day at all? Otherwise, it really makes people get goosebumps.
16. Add a whole chicken to beer
Over the years, the rooster Al almost cast a layer of mystery. It is said that it was very popular in England in the 17th and 18th centuries. In fact, it is an ordinary Al, but a whole rooster was added during the brewing process. Hand Pulled Cock Ale from Willimantic Brewing Co in Connecticut-7% alcohol, only available in barrels-is a modern version of Cock Ale, but its name still implies that old joke (you got it).
Fried chicken beer As the song in "Grease" sings, fried chicken and beer are good partners, so why not add some chicken to the beer? Veil Brewing Co of Richmond, Virginia, and the evil twins teamed up to brew chicken beer. Their Fried Fried Chicken Chicken DIPA uses a lot of Fried Chicken Nuggets.
Sheep brain beer Philadelphia's Dock Street Brewing Company brewed Dock Street Walker to pay tribute to "The Walking Dead," but it was more terrifying than zombies, using smoked lamb brains. This American Pale Shitao is 7.2 degrees, and cranberries are added to create a touch of acidity.
Whale testicle beer Icelandic microbrewer Steoji has launched Hvalur 2, which is an upgraded version of Hvalur 1, which was produced in cooperation with the whaling company Hvalur and caused a huge controversy due to the addition of full whale meat (fish meat and fish bones). As the second seasonal crossover, it uses whale testicles smoked and roasted with sheep dung—well, one is added to each winemaking cycle.
Masculine beer The Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout of Wynkoop Brewing in Denver was originally just an April Fools' Day joke, but I didn't expect it to become a reality because of the public's enthusiastic response. With an alcohol content of 7.5, three cow testicles are added to each barrel-this "gourmet" is nicknamed Rocky Mountain Oysters locally. A set of two cans is quite appropriate.
Bull Heart Beer Portland's Upright Brewing and Burnside Brewing collaborated to produce this Captain Beefheart. The ingredients include 27 kilograms of charcoal grilled beef heart and a lot of spices. Similar products include the Burke In The Bottle, a collaboration between Jim Koch of Boston Beer Company and chef David Burke.
Sunday barbecue beer Conwy Brewery in Wales caters to the close relationship between locals and sheep and brews a lamb beer. Sunday Toast is a Victorian-style Porter beer with the juice from slow roasting of Welsh lamb. Perhaps lamb-ic is more appropriate.
Truffle beer Truffles are very expensive. Using them to brew beer seems a bit risky, but some people have succeeded. Chicago Moody Tongue's black truffle crumbs Pearson is highly sought after in some of the top high-end restaurants in the United States, while Miki Le has chosen to use black truffles to brew a dark beer called The Forager.
Stag semen beer Green Man Pub in Wellington, New Zealand, and local brewer Choice Bros brewed a beer with stag semen, which caused a huge sensation for a while. We will not continue to discuss the name Lu Jing Shitao to obtain such a subtle beer, let's stop here.
Mushroom beer In the past few years, the brewery seems to have used all the mushrooms imaginable. Jester King of Austin, Texas used locally grown oyster mushrooms in this Snorkel. 4.5 Alcohol, Goss style.
Oysters (really real this time) beer The encounter between Oyster and Shi Tao gave birth to many interesting stories. We used to drink Shitao while sucking oysters beautifully. Now we use oyster shells to clarify the beer, or put them in a boiling pot, or even throw whole oysters into it. Flying Dog Pearl Necklace Oyster Shitao did just that.
Natural green beer Free Tail Brewing Co of San Antonio, Texas adds blue-green algae to a 4.2-degree rye white beer to give it a charming blue-green color. If the advertisements of Mandalay Brewing in Myanmar and Red Dot Brewery in Singapore are accurate, Spirulina beer has another magical effect-anti-aging.
Seaweed beer Bladderwrack is a good name for beer, but it is actually a kind of seaweed. Williams Bros Brew in Alloa, Scotland added it to its own Kelpie Seaweed Ale. This Scottish Groot-an ancient beer style-is intended to recreate the traditional style of beer from the coastal regions of Scotland.
Real gold beer We have all drunk golden Al, but have you ever drunk gold? Golden Queen Bee brewed by Golden Bee Beer contains edible 24K gold leaf. There is no need to throw gold like this, but if you can get another bottle of The Lost Abbey's Gift Of The Magi-a golden Al with frankincense and myrrh, then you must be full of every cell in your body The joy of Christmas.
Pizza beer Mamma Mia Pizza Beer is produced by the Chicago Pizza Beer Company. The ingredients include Margarita Pizza soaked in malt. We don’t know if the crust is Chicago-style.
Donut beer Voodoo Donuts Maple Syrup Bacon Al is the first beer launched by Voodoo Donut Bakery in collaboration with Rogue Brewery, also in Oregon. The series includes six products so far. They want to use these beers to reproduce the best-selling single-product flavors of this bakery in Portland. The latest flavors currently launched are Guerrilla Grape and Mango Spaceman.
Pig head beer Mangalica Pig Porter uses the head and bones of Mangalica Pig. This breed of pig is quite precious and is known as Kobe beef in pork. Right Brain Brewery in Traverse City, Missouri uses whole pig heads when brewing this beer, and even the eyeballs are still in the eye sockets. The winery also brews a series of more delicious pork pie beers, with raw materials including whole pork pie from a local bakery.
Expired bread beer The raw material of toast air is leftover bread that cannot be eaten, and it aims to eliminate food waste. All the profits from this beer brewed with excess bread are donated to charitable organizations, and even a factory is set up in the Bronx, New York. The recipe is public, so you can try it yourself with the leftover bread you eat.
Just put your crying beer There is a resonance between Chili Control and Beer Mania, which is why countless beers have combined these two things in one in pursuit of a mixed effect. The grimace killer at the Twisted Pine Brewery in Colorado—named after the Wudang rapist of the same name—uses six different varieties of peppers. Among them, the hottest pepper is the Devil Pepper (also known as Broken Soul Pepper). Scoville's index exceeds 1 million-the pepper is only about 2000. You can imagine how spicy it is.
Bearded beer Rogge Beard Beer can be regarded as one of the most weird beers in the world. Brewmaster John Maier extracts yeast from his beard and brews an American wild ale. Maier once vowed that he would never shave his beard, so the raw material of this beer can really be said to be

Denver's Oldest Brew Pub, Wynkoop Brewing Company, is getting a fresh start
Denver’s Oldest Brew Pub, Wynkoop Brewing Company, is getting a fresh start
Colorado maintains a solid reputation for craft beer, but long before extreme hops hit the scene, Wynkoop Brewing Company in downtown Denver churned out great suds and casual fare to go with them. Now, it’s making the 34-year-old mainstay even better with a new culinary team, events space and tasting room.

Denver’s Must-See Attractions
The history of Colorado, and Denver, is long and rich. That means that there are numerous interesting and engaging landmarks, from cultured and diverse museums to mesmerizing historical locations. There are so many things to see and do, in fact, that it can be a little difficult to decide where to start.
That’s why we’ve constructed a list of the most memorable must-see attractions in Denver. So be you a tourist, or a local, be sure to have a look, and pay a visit when you get the chance.
Denver Art Museum
Yes, the Denver Art Museum is an obvious choice, but you can’t have a list of must see attractions in the area and not include it. First and foremost, there are 2 central building that make up the museum. The first is a structure that resembles an ancient fort, designed by famed Italian architect Gio Ponti. The second is a towering wonder that is reminiscent of a gigantic crystal, complete with multiple spikes and shards, courtesy of Daniel Libeskind.
Just viewing the buildings is a treat of its own, but head inside and enjoy the largest collection of original Native American art in the world. This already impressive display is accompanied by no less than 68,000 other items, including works from the Old West, as well contributions from some of the greatest masters in Europe.
Buffalo Bill Museum
Another obvious choice for the list is the Buffalo Bill Museum. Many know the name, but few know the true history of a man that started out life as a Pony Express rider, and went on to be an arms scout and eventually a showman.
The museum is high atop Lookout Mountain, which means that after the exhibit you can kick back and enjoy a lovely beverage while browsing gaming reviews for you on your phone.
Colorado Railroad Museum
Another historical wonder, and another day spent learning about the rich history of the area. The Colorado Railroad Museum is perhaps the most educational location in the state, chronicling decades of railroad history in a single, stunningly beautiful location.
Visitors can view over 100 cars and locomotives, model railroads, a working Roundhouse, and even a functioning train road that travels a third of a mile on ancient tracks.
Lodo Historic District
The Lodo Historic District is a historical wonder made modern, offering up a trendy stretch of cool and quirky venues nestled in the bosom of a deeply rich environment. Visitors can experience an area that is still dripping with the atmosphere of century old warehouses, while still enjoying all the modern luxuries that could be asked for.
Some of the attractions include Rockmount Ranch Wear, which features Western style shirts in the very building they were invented, as well as Wynkoop Brewing Company which serves luxury beers in the same warehouse as was once owned by Denver Mayor Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper. Don’t forget the El Chapultepec bar, which will enchant you with jazz as the sun sets behind the horizon.

Colorado brewery, Left Hand Brewing announces a new Taphouse and Restaurant in Denver’s River North Arts District.
Press Release
DENVER, Colo. March 4, 2021 – Left Hand Brewing Company, one of the original pioneers in craft brewing, today announced it will be opening a taphouse and restaurant in Westfield Company’s North Wynkoop development in early 2022. North Wynkoop is a 14-acre mixed use project at the north end of Brighton Boulevard in the River North Arts District (RiNo) adjacent to downtown Denver.
Left Hand Brewing’s 7,500 square-foot location will be next door to the Mission Ballroom and joining 4180 Wynkoop, home of AEG Presents - Rocky Mountains, and will soon include 400 apartment units currently under construction. Left Hand’s new venue will feature its year-round and seasonal beers, a full dining menu with pre- and post-show favorites, live music and a stage, an outdoor patio, and private dining and event spaces.
“We’ve been eager to open an outpost in Denver, and it’s no secret we’ve been searching for the right location for some time,” said Eric Wallace, president and co-founder of Left Hand Brewing. “After being introduced to the Westfield team, we were inspired by their long-term vision for North Wynkoop and the creative, culinary and entertainment community they’re building in River North. We’re excited to help bring that vision to life as we have in Longmont through our brewery and tap room for the past 27 years.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Left Hand Brewing to the community of entertainment destinations within our North Wynkoop project. Our shared enthusiasm for creating exciting gathering places made this an ideal partnership,” said Kevin McClintock, senior partner for Westfield. “Left Hand is a pioneer in the craft brewing industry, so it’s no surprise that they’re also a pioneer at North Wynkoop. We expect they’ll soon be joined by other like-minded restaurants, bars and entertainment concepts as North Wynkoop continues to evolve into a premier entertainment destination in Colorado.”
North Wynkoop encompasses three city blocks from 40th to 43rd streets along Brighton Boulevard, is a five-minute walk to the 38th and Blake A Line Station (one train stop to Union Station and 30 minutes to Denver International Airport), and just minutes from the intersection of Denver’s largest vehicular arteries of I-25 and I-70. In addition to its incredible access to rail, parking options for the site will include an underground garage as well as nearby parking options. Left Hand’s new location will offer a shared-ride pick-up and drop-off area and an abundance of bike parking. For more information, please visit www.northwynkoop.com.
Left Hand announced in March 2020 it would be opening its second location in Denver’s Curtis Park neighborhood but ultimately terminated its lease agreement.

Thoughts on a thousand breweries
You never forget your first brewery. I was 21 and working in radio sales at the time, and my boss at the time took me out for a liquid lunch at Empire Brewing Company’s brewpub in downtown Syracuse, New York to celebrate a sale I had just closed. I took interest in his suggestion, since I had recently discovered craft beer from Saranac and Ithaca that was enjoyable and flavorful — I had graduated from the Labatt Blue and Natty Light I usually had at college parties. It was my first time drinking fresh beer at the source, and it set me on the adventure I’m on to this day.
According to the Brewers Association, over 4,500 breweries have opened since I visited my first, so the options grow larger and larger. Many cities that had a lone brewpub in 2003 now boast of dozens of breweries, each offering a unique beer lineup and taproom experience. There are plenty that mimic the most successful breweries, but no two experiences are the same.
There’s Brooklyn Brewery (#3), where I recall having my first barleywine, Monster Ale, in 2003. Since then, they’ve grown from a local brand to a global name in beer, drawing in visitors from all over the world (particularly Scandinavia, where they’re practically ubiquitous with craft beer). But their taproom experience is largely the same as it was then, because it works.
Many of the old breed of breweries who opened in the 1990s craft beer wave and chose to stay small stick with the same taproom formula today. Lucky Labrador’s Hawthorne brewpub in Portland, Oregon (#37) is much the same today as when I first visited nearly a decade ago. While brewers and approaches have changed at San Francisco’s Thirsty Bear (#9), the ambiance is largely the same as during my first visit in 2005. Colorado brewpubs like CooperSmiths’ Pub & Brewing (#23), Wynkoop (#25), and Bull & Bush (#26) were still familiar on recent visits, still sticking to some of the same beer formulas as they did when I first visited ten years ago.
But more common these days as the massive expansions of once-small breweries that mirrored the rapid growth in craft beer in the past few years. There’s Surly (#314), where even in three short years they’ve grown into the massive facility they moved into in Minneapolis, Minnesota, adding a dozen fermentation tanks and a world-class restaurant. There’s 21st Amendment (#8), whose small San Francisco brewpub is now accompanied by a cavernous production brewery (#579) across the bay in San Leandro. Breweries like Greenport Harbor Brewing Company (#73), Revolution Brewing (#100) and Nebraska Brewing Company (#112) are just a few I’ve visited that have added large production facilities, often increasing the amount of beer they make by factors of ten. The growth feels unstoppable.
But for every brewery that’s expanded, there’s many more that want to stay small and true to their roots. Oxbow Brewing Company (#393) added a blendery in Portland, Maine, but still brews their beer in the woods of Newcastle, Maine. Many breweries have chosen the route of staying small and local, even in the face of popularity. That’s likely the only way the industry’s recent rapid growth will be sustainable.
A more recent trend in my travels is the birth of the cult brewery. An early example, Hill Farmstead (#96), sent beer geeks into a tizzy as Shaun Hill started making beautiful esoteric beers in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, drawing crowds to a barn miles away from cell phone reception. Not far away, The Alchemist (#13) has grown out of its brewpub after wild reception for its Heady Topper Double IPA set the bar for Hazy IPAs, a style that drove most of this trend. Now, Trillium Brewing in Boston (#289), Tilted Barn in Exeter, Rhode Island (#375), Bissell Brothers in Portland, Maine (#388), and Tree House in Charlton, Massachusetts (#958) draw hours-long lines for beer releases, to the point that I often find myself avoiding them (unsurprisingly, that’s the reason Tree House is so late on the list). Personally, I prefer the more civilized environment of sitting down to drink a beer, striking up conversation with the bartender or the drinkers around me.
Heck, I could even do that at Cantillon (#646) in Brussels, Belgium, a brewery that has a similar cult-like following among Americans for its amazing Lambics. Naturally, nearly everyone I drank with in their small tasting room had ties to the US — an indication of how craft beer culture has enlightened Americans to great beer. We’re not just exporting our beer geeks, though. American beer culture has infiltrated Europe’s cities in both the styles of beer produced and the taproom culture. Brussels Beer Project (#647) stands in stark contrast to Belgium’s long-standing beer culture, pouring hoppy IPAs in a polished taproom. Nya Carnegiebryggeriet (#263) in Stockholm was Brooklyn’s first foray into Europe, brewing with the same house yeast used stateside. Fourpure (#401) in London and Magic Rock (#833) in Huddersfield are breaking with English beer tradition and pouring hop-forward, higher alcohol brews in taprooms that wouldn’t feel out of place in a suburban Seattle industrial park. Geisinger Brau (#667) in Munich may stick to German brewing traditions, but its branding and taproom would seem familiar to American beer drinkers.
Speaking of traditions, some European beer drinkers would probably argue American beer traditions are rooted in cheap, light beers. I am not above visiting the large, corporate American breweries, and I find their long histories and growth patterns fascinating. It’s helpful, in that respect, that Coors (#10) and Miller (#85) are as much museums as breweries for visitors. I’ve never visited an Anheuser-Busch facility where Budweiser is made, but the company’s buying spree resulted in visits to several breweries acquired by the company before their sale, including Blue Point (#68), Devil’s Backbone (#60), Golden Road (#172), Camden Town (#406), Elysian (#42), Wicked Weed (#207), and Four Peaks (#20). I visited both breweries in the US purchased by Constellation Brands prior to their sale: Ballast Point (#276) and Funky Buddha (#500). Two breweries I visited later took up Heineken on offers of investment, Lagunitas (#221) and Brixton (#939), the latter occurring just this week. Even with signs that some of these buying sprees are dying down, there’s likely more on my list that will see outside investment.
There’s also the possibility some will close. That’s already been the fate of 20 breweries on my list, there would probably be many more if I had been of drinking age in the 1990s. 2% is a pretty record, but over three-quarters of New York City’s 1990s-era brewpubs closed by 2002, leaving the city with hardly enough breweries to count on one hand until 2011. Now, the city boasts 35 breweries, with more to come. It’s hard to tell what the future holds.
In the meantime, I’ll visit brewery #1,000 on Saturday: Jester King in Austin, Texas, and will still only be able to claim I’ve visited one of every six breweries in the US. I’ve got a lot of hard work to do.
