Just got some awesome news from BierWerks, in Woodland Park, that BierWerks and Prost Brewing recently made a beer together and it will be ready to serve in the next couple weeks. On June 9th, James McGraw at BierWerks along with Bill Eye and Ashley Carter from Prost began a ten barrel batch of Helles Lager. This tasty lager is the same version that BierWerks makes regularly, and will be served at BierWerks soon, but it was specifically made with Prost in mind. Prost, an upcoming German brew house in Denver, will come back down in a couple weeks, harvest 30 gallons of the yeast and use it for one of their own lagers. The yeast was supplied by The Brewing Science Institute (David Bryant, Bryan Pearson, and Jon LaVasque) and they also received help from our pal John Landerman (homebrewer) and BierWerks employee Austin Weatherford. Both breweries make primarily German beers and, with the exception of Grimm Brothers in Loveland, are the only ones in the state of Colorado (that I know of) that have this commitment.
