Prost Brewing Company: A Taste of Germany in Denver
Authentic German-style beers brewed in Denver using traditional methods and imported German equipment. Prost!
Prost Brewing Company, located in Denver's Lower Highland (LoHi) neighborhood, offers an authentic German bier experience. Founded in August 2012, Prost fills a niche in the craft beer scene by focusing exclusively on German-style biers, brewed with equipment and ingredients imported directly from Germany. The brewery's name, 'Prost,' is a German word meaning 'To your health,' or 'cheers,' setting the tone for a convivial atmosphere. Prost distinguishes itself by adhering to the 'German Purity Laws' (Reinheitsgebot), which dictate that beer can only be brewed using high-quality ingredients: water, barley, hops and yeast. This commitment to tradition results in clean, refined beers that showcase the complexities of German brewing. The brewery uses a copper brewhouse originally built in 1963 by Ziemann GmbH and installed at the Bucher Brau in Grafenau, Germany. In 2011, Prost Brewing Company acquired the equipment and brought it to Denver. The taproom provides a family-friendly environment where patrons can enjoy a variety of German-style beers, including Pils, Dunkel, Kölsch, and Hefeweizen. Prost also offers seasonal biers like Märzen for Oktoberfest. While Prost doesn't have a kitchen, they offer Baker Street soft pretzels and encourage guests to bring their own food or order from nearby restaurants. With its commitment to quality and tradition, Prost Brewing Company provides a unique and enjoyable experience for beer lovers in Denver.
