Description
In the late 1980s, Brian Dunn spent 5 years abroad building farms in developing countries. Dunn grew up in a family that appreciated good food and drink. On his travels he expanded his knowledge and passion for beer. Dunn eventually returned to Colorado, started homebrewing, and attended graduate school. After graduating in 1993, when the Denver beer scene barely existed, he set out to found one of America's most decorated and acclaimed craft breweries. Starting with a marketing study and a business plan, Dunn saw an opportunity to brew unique balanced, aromatic beers in Denver's upcoming ballpark neighborhood. With financial help from family, friends and a loan from the city of Denver, his dream of commercial brewing became reality in 1994.
