Crooked Stave Closing RiNo Location & Opening In Sunnyside

From Westword:

Six years after opening its prominent taproom inside the Source, Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project has decided to leave the food hall at some point in the near future in favor of its original digs in the Sunnyside neighborhood. Like the beers it makes, the brewery’s experience at the Source has had sour notes and sweet ones, effervescence and character — and it’s always been at least interesting.

A grand reopening of Crooked Stave’s Brewery and Barrel Cellar, at 1441 West 46th Avenue, will take place January 9 and 10, as the brewery celebrates its ninth anniversary.

“We couldn’t be more excited to reopen our original taproom. It’s really where it all started for us, it was a place where people could come in and be a part of something that felt new and exciting. We are hoping to rekindle that feeling,” says Crooked Stave founder Chad Yakobson. The move means that the brewery’s taproom, brewing equipment and employees will all be in the same place, which will give it a more intimate feel.
