E-Malt.com News article: USA, CO: Grist Brewing Company is the first craft brewery to open in Highlands Ranch

The first brews have been sampled and the grand opening is right around the corner for Highlands Ranch’s very first craft brewery.

Grist Brewing Company, located across Town Center Drive from Shea Stadium at 9150 Commerce Center Circle in Highlands Ranch, will open its doors to the public at noon, November 2, Our Colorado News reported on October 21.

The brewery, which will be open seven days a week, will have six beers on tap for the opening. They include the Staple India Pale Ale, Transition State Kolsch, Touch Line Brown, Niobrara Stout, Third Ring Belgian Strong Ale and Window Tour Hefeweizen.

“We are hitting all the notes with the opening,” said brewer Dustin Dahl. “We have everything from light to dark to strong, so there is a little something for everybody. We’ll be keeping it true to style with each of the brews but with our own little twist.”

In addition to a large taproom, patrons will have a view of beer being made as the brew house is located on the other side of a waist-high wall.
“We want them to really feel like they are in a brewery,” said Kevwitch, an award-winning home brewer who grew up in Acres Green and graduated from Highlands Ranch High School in 1994.
