Great Divide Brewing Co.

Great Divide Brewing Co. remains the undisputed elder statesman of Denver craft beer, with the Yeti Imperial Stout crushing expectations as a dark, roasty monster that ages beautifully. Since 1994, over 500,000 barrels of Yeti have been produced, making this stout 30% more popular than the average Denver imperial stout. This longevity puts every stout-only brewery on notice, outperforming #9 Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project in brand recognition and proving that tradition can dominate a modern scene.
