We tapped Winter Warmer on Tuesday and the Bock Today and they taste awesome. The Bock is a little lighter this year and the Winter Warmer just tastes like Christmas. We don’t have them in bottles but you can get them in growlers and party pigs to go. They are at the premium beer price.
Come in and try the new Pumpkin Ale. Just tapped today.
Hello Pumpkin heads! We are brewing our traditional batch of pumpkin beer today! Cory is cranking up another batch of Great Pumpkin Ale (clever name no?) It is a light amber ale with a touch of Victory & Cara Brown malts giving almost a hint of graham cracker like crust flavors. There are four roasted pumpkins, see photo of Cory prepping pumpkins,

along with pumpkin pie spice, assorted other spices, vanilla bean and just a touch of sugar. Cory hopes to tap the Great Pumpkin Ale on Thanksgiving weekend. Watch for a tweet from Cory when it is close.
We love to do holiday dinners in November and early December. Our upstairs dining area can hold up to 80 people. Two or more parties can share the night. Please call or email us for information.

McLuhr’s Irish Stout won a silver medal in the Classic Irish-Style Stout category at the GABF held on Sat. Sept. 18, 2010.
The Dam had all but given up its hopes for a medal until category 71 out of 79 was announced. After all, 519 breweries submitted 3,601 beers for judging. It is really difficult to win a medal. The sad faces of the brewmasters who went away empty handed was heart wrenching.
Tickets for the Great American Beer Festival had sold out a record 5 weeks prior to the 3 day festival. More than 460 breweries brought over 2,000 beers for tasting. 237 medals were awarded. 40 medals were awarded to 22 Colorado breweries.
The Brewery won a Silver Medal for Dam Straight Lager at the 2010 North American Beer Awards held in early June. Brewmaster Cory Forster was on hand to accept the award. Congrats to Cory, Jim Larson and Adam Banfield.

CHICAGO, IL – The Dillon Dam Brewery is ecstatic over its Gold Medal at the World Beer Cup for its McLuhr’s Irish Stout which won in the Classic Irish-Style Dry Stout Category beating out 22 entries from all over the world.
