Brewery food that wasn’t an afterthought.
We wanted food you’d choose even if you weren’t already here for a beer. So we partnered with award-winning local BBQ talent, Hesher BBQ, and built a menu made for lunch, dinner, and sharing at the table.
Good beer shouldn’t come with mediocre food.
You know the drill. You pick the brewery, everyone gets hungry, and suddenly you’re choosing between something frozen, something fried or figuring out where to go next.
Food shouldn’t be the compromise that comes with choosing a brewery.
Come hungry
on purpose.
Our food program was built to stand on its own.
We work with Hesher BBQ, an award-winning Colorado barbecue team, for smoked meats and big flavor, then build around it with flatbreads, tacos, nachos, pretzel bites and shareable food that works just as well for lunch as it does with a beer later in the day.
The beer is brewed here. The food gets the same level of attention.
Real food.
Not a menu added just to say we serve food.
Built to share.
Nachos, flatbreads, pretzel bites, and plenty of reasons to order something for the table.
Lunch without relocating.
Coffee, food, beer, cocktails and non-alcoholic options mean the whole group can stay put.
Local food. Local people. No shortcuts on quality.
We’re a women-owned Denver brewery and café, and we wanted food that could stand on its own, so we partnered with Hesher BBQ, a local competition barbecue team with some serious hardware behind the smoke.

That means the brisket, pork, and BBQ on our menu aren’t just “pretty good for brewery food.” They come from people who know exactly what they’re doing.

Lunch is easy.
1. Find us just off Tennyson.
We’re tucked behind Ohana Yoga with the entrance off 44th.
2. Order what sounds good.
Lunch, something shareable, coffee, beer, cocktails or whatever the table is after.
3. Stay as long as you want.
Finish lunch. Open the laptop. Meet another person. Order another round. No reason to move the group.
What are you hungry for?
The stuff that disappears from the middle of the table faster than anyone admits.
Smoked meats from Hesher BBQ built into sliders, nachos and more.
One of those things you order “for the table” and immediately regret sharing.
Easy to share. Completely acceptable not to.
