Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse To Host Inaugural Homebrew Contest 10/1

From Great Divide:

For the first time, a homebrewer will brew a batch alongside Great Divide head brewer to be on-tap for a month at the two Great Divide locations in Denver and in Castle Rock

DENVER, CO  – (October 6, 2020) For the first time since its inception in 1994, a homebrewer will win the opportunity to brew a batch on the decorated Great Divide Brewing Company’s brewing system at Vibe Concepts’ Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse (215 Wilcox St Suite G, Castle Rock, CO, 80104). The beer will be on tap for a month at the two Great Divide locations in Denver and in Castle Rock brewery starting Jan. 1.

Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse is looking for the best fruit-forward IPA from homebrewing enthusiasts. From November 12-15, homebrewers can drop off their creation at Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse, Roadhouse Boulder Depot or Reivers Bar and Grill to be judged by local industry experts. Judges will consider aroma, taste, mouthfeel and signature hoppy flavor to crown the winner.

The winner will have the first-time honor of brewing their beer on the Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse brewery system alongside Rau. The winner will be announced during the week of November 16 on social media, and the beer will be released Jan. 1, 2021. The beer will be on tap at Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse throughout the month of January, and the makers of the three beers will receive a Vibe Concepts gift card and Great Divide merchandise.

“Our goal in creating this contest was to provide something for people to look forward to during a year that has been difficult for many,” said Vibe Concepts cofounder, Dan Shipp. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will give homebrewers the opportunity to dig deep and get creative. To top things off, we’ll be able to share that creation with our guests for an entire month.”

Great Divide Brewery & Roadhouse is located in the Riverwalk Castle Rock North development, an urban live, work, play mixed-use development on Wilcox Street in downtown Castle Rock.

Earlier this year, Roadhouse Hospitality Group announced that after 29 years it would rebrand the parent company to Vibe Concepts to more accurately define the varied group of restaurants.
