Beer School: Grimm Brothers + Historical Beers with Aaron Heaton

 1000 996 City Star Brewing
Join us for the first Beer School of 2020 to meet Aaron Heaton of Grimm Brothers Brewhouse and discuss historical beer styles.
Aaron Heaton is the co-owner of Grimm Brothers Brewhouse in Loveland Colorado. He began his brewing carrer in 2001 as a homebrewer in North Carolina. He missed the great beers of Colorado and with the limit on NC beers he became active with the pop the cap campaign allowing full strength beers into the state. Aaron continued his professional carrier by attending American Brewers Guild in 2005. He moved back to Colorado and interned at Left Hand Brewery and New Belgium. In 2010, along with Don Chapman, Aaron started Grimm Brothers Brewhouse, the oldest active brewery in Loveland. Grimm Brothers specializes in traditional and non-traditional German style beers and have been wining awards since they started. Aaron also has been judging for BJCP since 2007 and at GABF since 2015.
About Beer School….
Beer School is in session the first Tuesday monthly in City Star Brewing’s Zoller Barrel House; it’s a social group to connect Berthoud area beer enthusiasts with an emphasis on beer ingredients, beer styles and knowledge, home brewing, and any topic that takes you beyond the pint in front of you. Join the Berthoud Beer School Facebook group to connect virtually!
Beer School includes public presentations with unique topics and guest speakers to appeal to beer lovers, home brewers, pro brewers, and even just curious community members. There will be a private homebrew share tasting for those interested at 7:30pm, to follow the presentation.

Winter Solstice Party

 640 675 City Star Brewing

This December 21st, the darkest day of the year, we celebrate the Winter Solstice at City Star Brewing with the release of our darkest beer of the year. Widow Maker is a colossal Imperial Stout, to be released on draft and in bottles alongside coconut and coffee decaf variants. This nod to the Winter Solstice boasts a big, bold and complex flavor profile. Smooth, rich and ready to sip and savor. Not for the faint hearted.

Happenings of this evening include free live music, henna tattoos, night sky telescope viewing with the Little Thompson Observatory, flower crowns, photo booth by Phobia Entertainment, Cirque Kitchen food truck, tarot card readings with Mary D’Agostino, and there will be a limited amount of commemorative glassware available.

The Solstice is a celebration of the return of the Light. It is indeed the twenty four hour period when the day-time or light is shortest and the night is longest, but the very next day is when the daytime starts to become longer! This brings hope and light for better things to come, along with our dreams, and hopes for love and all good things “coming to light”. Bringing out, love, inspiration and joy are always the basis of my readings, with positive insights, blessings and wisdom thrown in for good measure.

We look forward to hosting this second annual event and celebrating the return of the light with good friends, great beer and fun activities. Festivities begin at 6pm with free entry in our downtown Berthoud taproom.

City Star is 7!

 150 150 City Star Brewing

City Star Brewing opened its doors in small town Berthoud, Colorado 7 years ago. Berthoud was thirsty, drank City Star near dry, and the new craft brewery had to close the following weekend to catch up. Fast forward to 2019 City Star has expanded its brewhouse cellar and more than doubled the taproom seating capacity with a beautiful taproom addition, barrel house and outdoor beer garden. A few Great American Beer Festival medals, a cease-and-desist letter (from a winery), and 100+ beers later City Star has become a destination for locals and craft beer lovers alike.

Saturday, May 4th City Star Brewing officially celebrates 7 years of beers with two new beers, live music all day, two food trucks, reopening of the deputy mug club program, $10 commemorative t-shirts, free beers …and the annual cupcake toast.

Taproom doors open at noon with the release of Granatum sour pomegranate barrel aged kölsch in bottles and on tap. The beerslingers collaborated to formulate and brew their own beer just for the occasion. The result is Salud, a watermelon tajín wheat featuring lime zest, sea salt and habaneros ???.
