About Cerebral Brewing
Cerebral Brewing fans have come to expect expertly crafted beers in a wide range of styles using a multitude of unique techniques. We embrace “a scientific approach to beer” by employing precise methodology to ensure quality and consistency. We’re proud to say we’ve had an in-house QA/QC lab since day one, and our commitment to quality has never wavered. Beyond the metrics and measurements, we lean on artistic inspiration and creativity to continuously develop new recipes. We are passionate about foeder fermented lagers, imaginative IPAs, and our extensive barrel-aging program. Locations in Congress Park, Denver, Colorado and Aurora Arts in Aurora, Colorado.
About Our Mutual Friend Brewery
We opened Our Mutual Friend Brewing in December of 2012 with the goal of creating a place for community through our small neighborhood taproom in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver at 2810 Larimer Street. Starting on a 31-gallon brew system, we worked tirelessly to understand the techniques and history of beer while looking forward to where craft beer was heading. Doing so influenced our vision to create beers with a sense of place, forging relationships with Colorado hop and barley growers and leading us into offering as many 100% Colorado grown beers as possible.
In 2021 we continued our organic growth on a ten-barrel brew system, increasing capacity to meet demand and offer traditional styles while still being afforded the opportunity for experimentation. We now produce beers specifically designed for release at our brewery and move almost the entirety of our beer across our bar. We brew beers that we want to drink in a place that we want to spend time in and we aim to be a company and space where everyone in our community feels safe and welcome.
