Rough Draughts: Nazareth is big, wet, with a sweet side.

There was only one word floating around TRVE Brewing’s “Nazareth” – the double IPA that made its 4/20 debut on Saturday evening – and that word was “dank.” A fitting term, given the various cannabis-centric activities Denver was playing host to this weekend. Albeit, a “dank” weed-inspired beer had me a bit nervous since I [...]

Help us name our second birthday beer

Last Friday, we brewed a Dubbel at Denver Beer Co. It was a glorious time. We then went over to Stranahan’s for a tour, had dinner at the Hornet, and made our way to TRVE for some more beers. Because, obviously, we needed those. In the process, we forgot to name the beer. We used [...]

TRVE Brewing has a good problem

You all like their beer too much. So much so that they’re changing their hours in order to keep the beer flowing, fill the CVLT growlers, and even offer some new brews. Moving forward, TRVE will be open Wednesday – Saturday. Meaning no more Sundays for the time being. I asked Nick the extremely obvious [...]

TRVE Brewing Company: Grand Opening Recap & What’s on Tap

It was a hot Wednesday afternoon but the bar was packed during the grand opening of TRVE Brewing a couple of weeks past.  The dark, heavy metal-themed space was offset by sunlight streaming through the large windows that look out on Broadway.  TRVE’s narrow but long communal area is accentuated by a large wooden table [...]

Thoughts from the Front Line of the TRVE Brewing CVLT

Me to all my friends: “Hey, who wants to get up at 6:00 am and go wait in front of TRVE Brewing for the growler sales.  You know, we can recreate camping out for concert tickets before there was an internet. It will be super fun!” All of my friends: “No.  Also, there was always [...]

TRVE Brewing

Three beer geeks walk into a bar. So starts my conversation with Nick Nunns, owner and metal-head behind Denver’s soon-to-be-newest brewery, TRVE Brewing, and one of his bartenders Monica Ignaszewski. We sat down at El Diablo to replenish Nick’s caloric depletion after a long day brewing, in hopes that he might tell me something special. [...]

CAUTION: Brewing Co. Unleashes ‘Groupie Growlers’

Exclusive growlers are becoming quite a trend in Colorado, with TRVE Brewing being one of the first to offer a limited run of the reusable beer receptacles through their CVLT (word has it there’s another prominent Denver brewery that will be offering something similar in the near future as well).  Now CAUTION: Brewing Company of Denver [...]

The CVLT at TRVE Brewing

I think I almost joined a cult once. We were hanging out by a fire, and I was offered a s’more. Forty-five mins later, everything started melting, so I panicked and ran fearing my kidneys would be taken. It sucked. However, this cvlt is different. I want to join. And if Nick takes my kidneys, [...]
