Opening under new ownership the Palisade Brewing Company began brewing in 2010. Nestled in the middle of western Colorado’s wine country, we brew innovative American style beer with respect to the traditional roots of craft brewing. While we always strive to be original and innovative with our beer, we would never turn our backs on the European fundamentals

constantly pushing to keep up with the evolving palette of the craft beer community in Colorado, and keep our rather colorful locals happy all at the same time.
