A Denver Beer & History Tour
No exploration of Denver’s beer history would be complete without diving into the dramatic era of Prohibition (1920-1933). When the 18th Amendment outlawed alcohol nationwide, Denver’s once-thriving breweries faced ruin—yet the city’s thirst for beer never truly dried up. Speakeasies, underground brewing operations, and creative loopholes kept the spirit of brewing alive, despite government crackdowns. Many former breweries were repurposed or forced to shut down, but some survived by producing "near beer" (low-alcohol brews) or shifting to alternative industries. When Prohibition was finally repealed in 1933, Denver’s brewing scene was slow to recover, but over time, it laid the foundation for the city’s modern craft beer renaissance.
