Verboten Brewing In Loveland Opens Friday

The craft brewing mecca that is Northern Colorado begins another chapter Friday as a new brewery in Loveland will open. Verboten Brewing, will open at 1550 Taurus Court in east-central Loveland. 

Fort Collins residents Josh Grenz and Joe Akers have been home-brewing together for three years. They and their wives, Angie Grenz and Keri Akers, decided a little over a year ago to take the plunge and turn the hobby into a business. Now that business will finally take form.

"Verboten," the German word for "forbidden," refers to the 16th-century German beer purity law. The regulation allowed only water, barley and hops (and later yeast) as ingredients. Verboten Brewing's recipes make liberal use of ingredients that were "verboten" in Germany

They will open with a Caramel Porter, the American India Pale Ale, a Lemongrass Wit, an Orange Blossom Honey Wheat and a Rum Barrel-aged Stout.

The cost will be $5 for all beers , 10 ounces for higher-alcohol ("big beers") and 16 ounces for others. Customers also can buy 32-ounce and 64-ounce bomber bottles, which can be filled and taken home.
