Denver's Black Metal Brewery: Craftwerk with TRVE Brewing Company

Рет қаралды 148,864

8 жыл бұрын

There are many breweries in Colorado, but only one craft brewery made for and by metalheads: TRVE Brewing Company. When Nick Nunns and Zach Coleman aren't playing and listening to metal, they're hard at work making beer at their Denvery brewery. Nick and Zach decided to take a different approach in their brewing; instead of concentrating on what the consumer wants, they brew the beer that they wanna brew-and hopefully others like it, too.
While most craft breweries focus on heavy, full-bodied, high-ABV beers, TRVE aims to get full-flavor beers with a lower alcohol content, for good session beers that you can drink without getting totally wrecked.
With a new production faculty in the works, expect to see more of TRVE in the near future.

Top three favorite spots in Denver. The atmosphere is totally unique, the beer is delicious and it's in the proximity of pretty much everything.

I loved TRVE when we were in Denver last year. Really great quality brews, music was legit, and the people were really awesome.

It's funny that guy said he was Straight Edge all through high school and college. I was straight for 10+ years, and now I'm 25 and just had my first beer about 5 months ago. It was a beer from a local microbrewery, and I fell in love with beer immediately. I now work at a local distillery. Funny how things work out like that. Beer and liquer are fuckin' killer.

You see, that's why I feel that we're culturally centuries behind Europe: While we deny our children the joys of alcohol (while boneheadedly allowing them to drive), the French were traditionally brewing gristettes for minors ages ago. I'm glad that an American brewery finally has the guts to admit that it's brewing beer - sessionable beer, mind you - designed for minors. Kudos, Trve Brewing Company!

@DavidFSloneEsq 8 жыл бұрын

I agree with you on that, sir. While our breweries clearly owe a debt of gratitude to those from the old country, I can name at least half-a-dozen "Belgian style" beers brewed in my home state of New York that I prefer to any actual Belgian beer I've ever tried, and half of those are brewed within walking distance from my loft. Mostly, I was just making a terrible pun. In this video, the brewer mentions that grisettes were originally brewed for miners. I was pretending to think that he meant "minors". It was funny in my head at the time.

@DeejayHonesT 8 жыл бұрын

+David Slone I think craftbeer changed the whole thing ^^ beers from ger, bel etc are mass maket lagers, craftbeer is better than any of that and ales in general have a more intense flavor profile which is way better for my taste than lagers. There is no "best beer" country anymore, even if i have to say that the best craft beers I drank came from germany :D

Sounds very dark but it isn´t for me ^^ the music feels happier the deeper it is and that with a dark location is an amazing contrast :D
