The Industrial Revolution Brewing Company

This past Sunday we met some friends at The Industrial Revolution Brewing Company (Facebook Page), or IRBC for short, to watch some football and try out the newest (and only-est) brewery in Erie, CO.  I say "newest" but IRBC has actually been open for 6 weeks already, following years of planning by the owner and head brewer Tim Suttman and his son Nate Cervantes.  Nate wasn't at the brewery but Tim was behind the bar when we walked in.  NFL RedZone was on a TV in the corner, chili was warming in a crock pot and, of course, cold beer on tap.  The taproom has a very intimate feel with room to sit at two bars (the main bar and a second bar with a view out the windows) as well as tables and chairs and a patio off the side of the building.

Denver ChopHouse and Brewery

Writing in my Brewery Passport at the Denver ChopHouse and Brewery!

The Brewery

What better way to celebrate 11-12-13!!!!  Last night Russ treated me to an amazing culinar/ beerinary experience.  We had the pleasure of going to the Denver ChopHouse & Brewery on 19th and Blake.  It has an upscale and friendly atmosphere with the added bonus of brewing their own craft beer.  I love the way they made it look like an old style tavern, and they also had some pretty amazing food.
