Friends, I’d like to introduce you to Launch Pad. Charlie and I happened upon this brewery by chance. We live nearby-ish, and as new folks to town ~4 years ago, we stumbled upon a new brewery via several positive Yelp reviews.
(I like beer…. Did I mention that?) If you’re a beer aficionado, Colorado will be 100% the craft beer scene you’re excited to explore.
Anywho, Charles and I wandered over to Launch Pad Brewery (LPB) on a random weekend in the summer of 2016. Since our first trip, we’ve been so enamored with their brews. I’m accepting generally of any type of beer, but a little apprehensive about IPAs… I just can’t handle the bittery hops finish… My favorites at LPB are the derivations that they cook up with Belgian beers, anything sour, and the Soyuz collection. Every month they do a “custom” Soyuz stout beer! How creative!
I asked for a beer from a friendly bartender, Casey, specifically in reference to whether this particular beer “tasted great or not”…. and his response was “Well, which of our beers don’t taste great?” And he’s totally on point. ALL of their beers – forever – have tasted great!
The head brewer, Paul, is spot on with his beer recipes (not even sure if that’s the appropriate way to phrase that?) But the beer offerings at LPB are 100% authentic and 100% amazing. If the beer is supposed to taste like raspberries, it tastes like raspberries. If it’s supposed to taste like shnoz-berries it tastes like shnoz-berries… (WW anyone?)
Additionally, LPB is so supportive of local first responders and veterans, that we’re thrilled to help support our hard-working, civil service men & women. The Okie in me wants to point out there’s a patch on the wall behind me (cover photo) that is from the air medical service base in Stillwater, Oklahoma. (GO Pokes! *my alma mater – Let me know if you find it!)
You will not be disappointed with a visit to LPB whether you are from Denver or just visiting!!! Tell them Marge & Charlie sent you! 😉 Cheers!!
