We are starting a Denver adventure. Heading up to the “Big” city, we where looking for somewhere to stop that we had not been to before. Some place that a good selection of brews and was not to “corporate”.
We thought about Rare by Grist, but it did not open early enough for us. With that in mind we did find the original Grist. It is usually a bit off the normal path for us, but that happened to be perfect in this case.
This brewery is hidden back in an almost industrial area. Finding it is definitely worth it.
We started with a beer each, a Hopferno and a Crimson Crow. The Hopferno is an American IPA, while the Crimson Crow is an amber ale. Both where delicious with the notes you would expect. They do have a great list that should have something to satisfy just about any Craft Beer fan.
Now, the food really was excellent. The pulled pork was an extremely generous portion, and the apple slaw gave it the right bitterness and snap to make the sandwich come to life.
The veggie burger with pepper jack and a fried egg was also a surprisingly large sandwich. It hit all the right notes and certainly will fill you up.
Overall a great experience with a little something for everyone. We rate this location 160 out of 200 Bees.
