GREAT DIVIDE owner, Brian Dunn's goal was to create adventurous beers that reflect the Colorado lifestyle. He wanted to capture Denver’s urban energy and Colorado’s awe-inspiring mountains. From great session beers like DPA to massively hoppy, big beers like Hercules, Great Divide has become synonymous with progressive, balanced, assertive hand-crafted ales.
The excellence of their beer is the result of their unwavering commitment to both experimentation and quality. A beer like Old Ruffian would never be imagined without the former, nor would it be drinkable without the latter. They are also firmly dedicated to the community, whose support has been essential to their success, and the environment, which they depend upon for ingredients and which we all have a duty to protect.
