A New Chapter Is Ushered In For Grimm Brother's Brewing

A good fairy tale incorporates characters overcoming obstacles through hard work and perseverance, sprinkled with creativity and imagination, and usually, a whole lot of magic. Most people think of fairy tales and go straight to Disney, but anyone who has read the original Grimm Brothers stories written by famous German writers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, knows that each story is harrowing and encompasses some darkness into the plot with each character possessing a unique depth to their personality.

Finding those tales and the characters within them relatable and somewhat parallel to their focus on specializing in traditional and historical German-style beers, the Grimm Brothers Brewery story began in 2010. Founded originally by avid home brewers who were taken with the rich tradition of European/German beers, they focused their aim at letting their beers not only tell the story of craft brewing but also in weaving those stories into the characters within the fairytales of Brothers Grimm.  This not only gave their beers a dynamic storyline to build from, but provided a theme that would capture their audience’s attention and keep them wanting to know more.  

Grimm Brothers Brewery’s long-standing history in the Sweetheart City slates them as the oldest brewery in Loveland and as Loveland’s first independent brewery, awarding them a special place in the local community’s heart. Dedicated to building from that foundation, new owners Jesse Sommers and Lynx Hawthorne are committed to bringing that celebrated history into the Brewery’s newest chapter. 

With a focus on making Grimm Brothers Brewing and its fabled storytelling calling card that the brand is aligned with a recognized name outside of our Northern Colorado community, the duo is also intent on preserving the German brewing tradition that the brand’s well-entrenched roots are steeped in. With that course set on the horizon, they are offering up long-standing patrons several new things to get excited about. 

Their new taproom location on the Forge Campus (for all those natives, the old HP building) boasts a taproom space big enough to accommodate their growth plan, a massive event room, cocktails, a full kitchen menu and an outdoor space that will make patio hangs in warmer weather a staple. The space incorporates honorary memorabilia from the original location, including nods to their brewing heritage using upcycled barrel pieces to create unique décor features. Adding to its core lineup they also have a West Coast IPA accurately named “The Prince of Hops” and a German Lager dubbed “The Golden Goose”.  Keeping a few of their original classics, Snow Drop their honey-wheat ale, Little Red Cap their twist on a Red Ale, and their Blood orange Hefeweizen, The Griffin; they have given the characters a slightly new feel. With their rebranding, they were careful to stick closely to the pillar of what made Grimm Brothers unique and special in the beginning, adding twists that incorporate the classics we have all come to know and love. 

This new direction and drive ushers in a distinct era for the future of Grimm Brothers Brewing. Their fairy tale, like the ones they love, has featured many adventures and journeys leading up to this new chapter in the Grimm Brothers story, and it’s one that we are eager to watch unfold.
