Raise A Glass “WANT TO GRAB A BEER?” Considering how much we enjoy sharing a cold one with friends around here, this may well be the most-asked question in all the valley.

Finished hiking, skiing, or biking? Beer it is. Crushed a tough work week? Beer again. Just hanging out? Beer. Beer! It’s no secret that we Coloradans love us some suds. And although we need little excuse to get together for a drink, this time of year seems particularly well suited for clinking glasses with those we love. Fortunately, the valley is hoppin’ (ha…) with some very delicious, creative options. This month we are especially excited about the opening of Casey Brewing & Blending’s new taproom in downtown Glenwood; be sure to check out their story and read about founder Troy Casey’s favorite brew this season. And because our love of beverages doesn't stop at beer, writer Doug Straw takes us just around the block to Cooper Wine & Spirits, where owners Kevin and Sharon Brady have the inside scoop on what’s new and great in the industry.

EVENING BETWEEN 5-7 P.M. in Glenwood Springs, one thing you can count on is that there’ll be a small crowd gathered at Cooper Wine & Spirits for their weekly tastings.
They’ve been offering the tastings since opening in November of 2013. “We applied for a tasting permit that allows 104 tastings per year, so we decided to keep it simple and do two each weekend,” says Kevin Brady, who owns the downtown store with his wife Sharon, who adds, “some people come in every single weekend.” The tastings not only bring in customers, around 100 to 150 per weekend, but they also fulfill one of the business’s core objectives, which is to educate consumers about their products so they’ll make better buying decisions, and ultimately be more satisfied customers. “We’re not in the wine and spirits business as much as we are in the people business,” says Kevin, who conducts most of the tastings himself, and loves engaging with the participants. “At first we would offer several red or white wines at a tasting, and people would try to pick their favorite,” says Kevin, “so now we focus on a variety of price points, countries, styles, and taste profiles that don’t compete with each other, to broaden people’s experience.” Cooper Wine & Spirits’ clientele is a mixture of locals and visitors with the majority of their regular customers being area residents, who have honored the store with a Locals’ Choice Award every year since 2014, their first full year in business. “We pride ourselves on our selection,” says store manager Joe Sinopoli. Given the limited square footage of the historic downtown building at the corner of 8th and Cooper, “we are very selective about what we offer,” he says. Kevin adds, “we have about 3,000 different items on our shelves, and we’re always adding new selections. We work with 18 wholesalers on a weekly basis, and focus on family-owned breweries and estate-owned wineries. We like to know where our products come from and what’s in them, so we can pass that knowledge on to cus-

ble to sell merchandise other than alcohol, “as long as it doesn’t exceed 25 percent of sales,” says Sharon, “so we’ve added an array of cured meats and cheese—things that go well with wine and beer—along with some original art and handmade jewelry.” When asked about current trends in the libation industry, the conversation really lights up. According to Sinopoli, pink drinks are trending. “Rosé is huge right now, not just in wine but in beer and cider,” he says, going on to explain, “rosé is more about the color, not a particular taste profile.”

this calls for
a toast AT LONG LAST, CASEY BREWING OPENS A NEW TASTING ROOM—AND MAKES ITS SIGNATURE FLAVORS MORE ACCESSIBLE THAN EVER
ARTICLE CAITLIN CAUSEY PHOTOGRAPHY ESTATEPHOTOVIDEO.COM - MICHAEL HEFFERON THE WAIT IS OVER. This fall, beer aficionados from across the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond can finally sip their favorite sours (and more) at Casey Brewing & Blending sleek new taproom in the heart of downtown Glenwood. After a lengthy permitting process kept the company from debuting the tasting room this summer, its doors officially opened to the public over Labor Day weekend. Suds lovers, rejoice. “We’ll have four of our sour beers on tap, always seasonal and based on what we have available at the particular time of year,” says founder and brewmaster Troy Casey. “We’re also doing IPAs and stouts now, which are a way for us to be creative and expand what we offer to people who might enjoy those more. And we’re rotating guest taps with Colorado beers that aren’t offered anywhere else on the Western Slope.”

For a time after its 2013 founding, Casey Brewing seemed to be one of the valley’s best-kept secrets: a niche brewery specializing in old-world techniques and Colorado ingredients, which many locals knew little about. Even as Casey amassed a large cult following—not to mention a slew of prestigious awards—after its signature sours hit the taste buds of beer lovers around the globe, the brewery managed to remain fairly under-the-radar here at home. Tasting events at its unassuming facility in south Glenwood soon exploded in popularity among far-flung Casey fans, with some devotees traveling great distances to attend. Troy was forced to begin doing ticketed tours and tastings due to limited parking and a modest occupancy requirement. Although this may have heightened the Casey mystique for outsiders, Troy says that attendance of his local fans began to decline. “People who live around us wanted to come but didn’t want to deal with some of that hassle, so we weren’t seeing them as much any more,” he recalls. “Recently I had been working on a business plan for a second location, and a big question was, ‘How do we make this more accessible to locals?’”

(CON TI N U ED)
Then, out of the blue this past spring, Troy got word that The Lost Cajun restaurant, with its prime location just off the 7th Street Restaurant Row, was closing. “We jumped on it,” he says. “It was really just perfect for us. In a place like this we can offer our beers to visitors and locals in a way that makes sense.” Troy’s sister-in-law Diana Adkisson is managing the new location, and their staff are well armed with knowledge about each tap. So if you want to talk beer, you can still talk beer, just as you would during a tasting at the original brewery—only no tickets required. Be sure to ask about Troy’s favorite beer of the season, a standout sour called Blackberry Fruit Stand. Its full-bodied flavor is not only perfect for autumn, he says, but its ingredients are also a prime example of the company’s commitment to using local whenever possible. “We have a single farmer in Hotchkiss who grows blackberries for us, a variety called Black Satin,” he says. “We pay a premium for his berries but we want to support someone local. He grows them just for us every summer.” With the taproom now marking its “best-kept secret” years as officially over, Casey Brewing is poised to grow an even bigger fan base in the valley. This new phase is a win-win-win for all: a homegrown business, using Colorado ingredients, that’s now more accessible than ever for locals to enjoy. Cheers to that.
