Alternation
Alternation Brewing Company
2017
We opened in December 2017 as a small, family-run brewery; specializing on a wide variety of ever-changing artisan ales and lagers through our “alternating” taps. The concept stems from our desire to combine premium quality beer, a cozy space, and change. Prior to opening the doors at Alternation, I meticulously brewed at home, utilizing a bevy of different ingredients, never focusing on the same styles. At some point, I humbly (and delightedly) came to the realization that the art of craft beer came naturally to me. Over the course of 7 years, with a tool chest of styles and ingredients under my belt, brewing became my life, life became an experiment, the art of experiment became fun. The bustling craft beer canvas in Denver, CO only provided further incentive. Our minds were made up, we were going to open a brewery. However, would it be possible to open a commercial brewery with a beating pulse? A brewery that was as living and vibrant as the customers who walk through the doors? All while keeping quality and experimentation in the forefront? Well, the answer is YES. In December 2017, our ideas of quality and experimentation came to life; Alternation is a bustling brewery on S. Broadway in Denver, CO. Our 3 BBL brewhouse (93 gallons) gives us the opportunity to brew whatever we want, whenever we want. Our hands-on, individualized, and knowledgeable approach to each recipe allows us to maintain premium quality throughout the process. You will see everything from refreshing pilsners and hazy wheats to funky sours and oak-aged imperial stouts. We won't say that flagship beers are completely out of the question (we love to bring things back), but brewing the same thing over and over doesn't sound very fun. Each batch is hand-crafted by our owners with love and beer desires in mind. We have the unique ability to cut on an operational dime; giving us the ability to keep up with current trends, utilize old world nuances, and create an opportunity for customers to experience a little bit of everything, while maintaining the finest of quality in each small-batch. Our goal is to give beer lovers the opportunity to enjoy the diversity of the evolving beer industry and recognize that beer should not always be classified into homogenous BJCP styles. For the novice, we hope to offer something refreshing and a friendly environment to relax and ask questions. For the connoisseur, we hope to question their beer mind and earn their respect. For everyone, we hope to offer an experience unlike any other brewery: a chance to walk in to a completely different menu, each time they enter.
