Westword: Great Divide Announces Castle Rock Pub Ahead of Its 25th Anniversary

”

Only a few of Colorado’s 400 breweries have a history that extends back more than a decade. Fewer still can claim a legacy reaching back into the previous century. Great Divide Brewing, which Brian Dunn founded in 1994 on Arapahoe Street, is one of them. And as the brewery prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary on June 22, it is also getting ready to open a new location in Castle Rock with slightly different branding.

After all, as Great Divide has discovered, there’s no time for resting on your laurels in what has become an ever more competitive craft-beer industry across the country.

Located in the still-under-construction Riverwalk development on Wilcox Street, the 8,000-square-foot Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse is a partnership between the brewery and the Denver-based Roadhouse Hospitality Group, which operates eleven Colorado restaurants, including Spanky’s Roadhouse near the University of Denver. Although Roadhouse will actually lease the space and hold the brewing license, Great Divide will operate the five-barrel brewing system, making Castle Rock-specific beers and piloting new selections for Denver.
