E-Malt.com News article: USA, CO: Prost Brewing plans to begin production at new Denver location early next year

Prost Brewing's much-anticipated new Northglenn Biergarten will welcome its first guests during a soft opening that kicks off on December 20. The grand opening is set for Thursday, January 4, 2024, Denver Westword reported on December 20.

The 10,000-square-foot public-facing space is part of the larger 60,000-square-foot production headquarters that was announced in June of 2022. The brewery specializes in German-inspired beers and will also serve traditional German food.

"Hospitality was the driving force behind this biergarten," president David Deline says in a press release. "Our vision is a space that is welcoming and accessible for the community to get an authentic taste of Germany right here in Colorado."

Prost plans to begin producing beer at the facility early next year, with a state-of-the-art Kaspar Schulz brew system imported from Bamberg, Germany. The brewery has primarily been contract-brewing its beers at Avery Brewing in Boulder.

It is hoping to ride on the success of its Highlands Ranch Biergarten, a space that has a similarly expansive patio, draft beer and a German food menu.

Prost is receiving roughly $6 million in support and incentives for the project from the landlord, Hutensky Capital Partners, as well as the Northglenn Urban Renewal Authority, the Northglenn City Council and the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade.

Along with this new addition and the Highlands Ranch outpost, Prost has locations in Fort Collins and the Highland neighborhood.

At the new Northglenn location, the interior decor is a mix of familiar German-inspired touches, like long bench-style seating, and a more modern industrial design. The outdoor area is focused on activities, offering lawn games and an outdoor stage.

At the new brewing facility, which includes a mix of modern and historically proven technology such as a vacuum boil, open fermentation and horizontal lagering, Prost is planning to take its beer to the next level. The brewery has seen recent success, with a silver medal for its German-style pilsner at the 2023 Great American Beer Festival.
