“By now you’ve probably heard the news. Due to the global health pandemic, we won’t be able to gather in person in Denver this fall and celebrate the wonderful world of craft beer together. Well, we couldn’t imagine a year without GABF, so this year, we’re not only going to meet in spirit, but virtually and locally, as we “Brewnite” and bring the 39th annual Great American Beer Festival (GABF) to you through a nationwide “passport” program.
Between October 1-18, Great American Beer Festival passport holders will have exclusive access to beery deals at participating festival breweries nationwide. Participating breweries will be added on a rolling basis starting mid-July, with a complete list of brewery deals published September 15.
In addition, passport holders will have exclusive access to online content during the official virtual festival dates, October 16-17. The online schedule is still being finalized but highlights include fun, interactive activities like Brewers Studio happy hours, tastings and interviews with brewers from around the country. All content will be broadcast via our friends at The Brewing Network. Complete festival details and schedule will be announced mid-August.”
Festival goers purchase passports at gabf.org. City Star is giving away a flight of 5 tasters to passport holders. Specialty beer lineup to be released

As we continue Colorado Craft Beer Week we want to offer something for YOU. Today get BOGO Beer it Forward Beers! When you buy one “Beer it Forward” online, we’ll add a second beer to the lucky recipient for free! These beers will be redeemed when our taproom reopens…and we won’t even tell if you want to buy yourself a BOGO beer
American Kölsch brewed with sea salt and finished with lime puree hits the taproom today! We want you all to be able to pretend you’re somewhere on a beach and since we can’t officially have a beach day party we are encouraging your best beach/island attire when you come to pick up!
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited to announce the launch of online ordering and craft beer in crowlers at City Star Brewing!
Access online ordering at https://citystarbrewing.square.site/. Crowlers, growlers and kegs are available to order online. You can place your order at anytime and then pick-up when we are open: 3-7pm. In checkout you are able to add a tip for your beerslingers and we want to hook you up with curbside pick-up; just call the taproom (970-532-7827) when you are parked out front and we’ll bring your beer to you! Note: we are still refilling guests growlers, but this option is not available for online ordering. We do have other items for sale that also must be purchased at the bar: non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, merchandise, and gift cards.
What’s this about crowlers?! No time like NOW to step-up our craft beer ‘to go’ game. We spent the day filling 25.4oz crowlers (purged with CO2 before filling for a longer shelf life) and we’ll continue filling as long as the demand is there. A crowler is a large can that can be filled with draft beer and seamed right at the source; they are cheaper, lighter and keep craft brewer fresher longer than conventional glass growlers. Shout-out to Oskar Blues and Crowler Nation for helping us make this happen; brewery camaraderie is definitely not lacking during this trying time.
A reminder, in compliance with this week’s Colorado health order the City Star taproom is open for ‘TO GO’ beer orders only with new hours: 3-7pm daily. Please help us respect this order and prioritize public safety by not lingering in the taproom.
The amount of support we’ve received (from all distances!) over the past few days has been incredible. We are truly honored to be a part of Berthoud and the greater NoCo craft beer community. We are a small, independently owned, family run brewery and we are grateful that we are able to continue conducting business at this time. Lifting up our staff, community, and business partners while navigating this closure is heavy on our minds. Thank you for your continued support!
???? Your City Star Crew
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 ???.
