Denver’s craft beer scene is buzzing with the recent news that Great Divide Brewing Company, a Mile High City staple since 1994, has been acquired by Lafayette-based Wilding Brands. While production is set to move, Wilding Brands has confirmed that Great Divide’s beloved taproom locations, including the RiNo Barrel Bar, will remain open.
For RiNo residents and visitors, this means you can continue to enjoy your favorite Great Divide brews in the neighborhood.
Great Divide’s RiNo Presence
Great Divide’s Barrel Bar is a popular spot in RiNo, offering a wide selection of their acclaimed beers in a relaxed and industrial-chic setting. Known for beers like the Yeti Imperial Stout, Titan IPA, and Colette Farmhouse Ale, Great Divide has been a key player in Denver’s craft beer scene for decades.
What to Expect
Wilding Brands has stated that they plan no changes to Great Divide’s Colorado outpost locations, so you can expect the same great experience at the RiNo Barrel Bar:
- A wide selection of Great Divide beers on tap
- A casual and inviting atmosphere
- A place to gather with friends and fellow beer enthusiasts in RiNo
Supporting Local Beer in RiNo
The acquisition of Great Divide by another Colorado company, Wilding Brands, represents an interesting shift in the local beer landscape. While production moves to Sunnyside, the continued operation of the RiNo Barrel Bar ensures that Great Divide’s legacy remains a part of the neighborhood’s identity.
Visit RiNo encourages you to continue supporting local breweries and enjoying the unique craft beer experiences that our district has to offer. We will keep you updated on any further developments.
