If you see the Brewed Food crew around Denver during GABF, ask for your own jar of kimchi! Giving them out at all our events.

Good Bugs Fermentation Series! Four opportunities during GABF 2017, in Denver, CO to taste some of our eight collaboration brews. A new approach wherein beers are designed with flavors from yeast, bacteria and fermentation at their core and recipes are built to emphasize these characteristics. Get to know the microbe rockstars of our fermented world!

Collab in full effect! Mashing in pilsner malt and raw wheat from @troubadourmaltings and pitching yeast from @inland_island for this one. #GoodBugs announcements coming soon…

The study of understanding the flavor potential of yeast is ever evolving and never ending. Six Saison strains fermented onto the same base beer from our friends at, Denver’s own, Inland Island Yeast Lab.

Welcome Cincinnati and it’s amazing ambassadors of beer and food, Rhinegeist Brewery and Salazar Restaurant to the Brewed Food Movement! Big things happening in Cincy!
