Came across this in planning what breweries to visit during GABF.
Lone Tree Brewing Company is weeks away from opening. John Winter & Jason Wiedmaier are putting the finishing touches on a 5,000 square foot, 7 barrel brewhouse in Lone Tree, Colorado. 6 year round beers are planned. The 1,000 foot tasting room will feature growler fills, flights and pints, board games, soda for underagers, tvs, and places to chillax. Lone Tree will not serve food, but encourages you to bring in food from surrounding restaurants.
Press Release
Lone Tree, CO – August 7, 2011– Business partners John Winter and Jason Wiedmaier are preparing to launch Lone Tree Brewing Company this fall in the Parkway Point building at 8222 Park Meadows Drive, across the street from Furniture Row in Lone Tree, Colorado.“The Lone Tree Brewing Company mission is to create a neighborhood gathering place where everyone feels right at home,” says Head Brewer and Co-owner Jason Wiedmaier. Lone Tree Brewing will provide the public with small batches of hand craft beer produced in their seven barrel brewing system, featuring six flagship beers and a couple of small batch rotating taps.
The beers will be sold on premise in a tasting room. Patrons will be able to order sample flights, allowing them to sample a variety of brews, or regular pints. The brews will also be available at a small number of local restaurants and liquor stores. For those who want to enjoy the beer at home straight from the brewery, the following will also be available for purchase in the establishment:
Lone Tree Brewing will also create a couple varieties of soda for kids and non-drinkers. Food will not be offered at the brewery, but visitors are encouraged to bring their own food or order from neighboring restaurants.
The company’s 5,000-square-foot brew house is currently in the design stage. “Around 1,000 square feet will be the tasting room; a small and friendly place, where fellow beer lovers can share the experience of sampling small-batch brews,” Winter says.
The tasting room will be set up to host small private parties, receptions, and meetings. There will also be televisions throughout the establishment, as the partners will encourage the community to stop by and enjoy a craft brew during local and nationally televised sporting events. For those looking for a more conversational atmosphere, board games and cards will also be available.
The brewery will be open seven days a week, with closings planned at 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 p.m. on the weekends. With a majority of the business hours being day-time, the partners hope to include a patio area in the future.
Lone Tree Brewing President John Winter has a vision that area cyclists will stop in for a mid-ride break, families will enjoy board games, and Lone Tree residents will find the brewery as a gathering place for community groups and events. “We want to be a part of the community, not a night club. We truly believe that this will be a unique establishment,” says Winter.
Wiedmaier, a high school German teacher, learned about the cultural significance of brewing and the pride Germans take in their beer as a student. Wiedmaier shares, “I took a magnificent trip to Germany and had many delicious beer experiences. Upon my return home, I began looking for beers that could provide the kind of satisfaction I found in fresh handcrafted German beers.”
He has now been home brewing for 13 years and in working to master his brewing skills Wiedmaier became an employee at the Brew Hut homebrew supply store seven years ago. His efforts have paid off, as he has won several awards in homebrew competitions over the past few years.
The Brew Hut, which is attached to Dry Dock Brewing Company in Aurora, is where Wiedmaier and Winter first met. Although, their paths could have crossed much earlier, as Winter has spent a lot of time in Germany as well as other locations around the world while working in the aviation industry for 35 years. Winter explains that, “After spending a majority of my life working for large companies, I wanted to take that experience and apply it to creating a company that is fun and exciting.”
Winter has been seriously brewing for more than three years now. But, it has always been much more than a hobby for him as he took his research to new heights, completing the “Concise Course in Brewing Technology” from the Siebel Institute of Technology to further his brewing knowledge.
While both have varied backgrounds, they have a mutual appreciation for the science, attention to detail, and experimentation behind creating a great beer. They also believe that the “neighborhood small town experience” will be enjoyable for the south Denver metropolis.
“We are hoping to name one of the beers after Acres Green, the community directly behind our location” the partners said. To learn more about the brewery’s beer line-up, visit www.lonetreebrewingco.com for complete descriptions.

Letter addresses Bell’s Brewery Inc. 2011 capacity constraints
First and foremost all of us here at Bell’s want to thank you for the support you’ve shown for our beers this year! Our growth over the past few years has exceeded everyone’s expectations to the point that we simply are not able to keep up with demand. We’d also like to assure you that we do not have any intentions of pulling out of any states that we are currently selling beer in.
We feel that we are able to do this because we have started the process of increasing capacity to meet that growing demand. The expansion project includes an additional, larger brewhouse, increased fermentation and dry hopping capabilities, and new grain handling facilities. The additional capacity is scheduled to come on line early in 2012. Unfortunately until that time we will be forced to spread the beer we can produce to our existing customers as best we can.
The hardest hit has been Two Hearted Ale as demand has been off the charts! Beyond the simple numbers crunch however, this beer requires special fermentation tanks for the dry hopping process making it impossible to shift brewing from other brands. The additions to the brewery will include significant enhancements to our overall brewing capacity and to Two Hearted production in particular. It is important to note that we will continue to allocate this brand until the new production facility is up and running. We will be working with all of our distributor, retail, and restaurateur partners to apply this as evenly as possible throughout our current footprint.
Thanks again for all that the support that you’ve shown for Bell’s and we very much hope that you will bear with us through our growing pains knowing that there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel.
Uinta Brewing joins Maui Brewing & SweetWater Brewing as recent solar converts. The brewery was already wind powered. With this improvement, Uinta is 85% wind powered, 15% solar.
August 10, 2011 SALT LAKE CITY — In an effort to continue their commitment to using renewable resources, Uinta Brewing Company has recently installed solar-electric paneling on the brewery’s roof. At this time 126 Schott 235 watt modules panels have been installed, allowing up to 30KW of electrical power to be generated for Uinta’s beer production–roughly 15% of the brewery’s power usage.
In 2001, Uinta became the first Utah business to become 100% Wind Powered; investment in solar energy is an extension of Uinta’s commitment to the environment and the Salt Lake community. Uinta’s power will now be 85% Wind and 15% Solar.
Also, in hopes of bringing due awareness to the importance of using renewable energy and the conservation of all forms of energy, Uinta has installed a digital monitor in the brewery’s foyer, which will display both the amount of energy Uinta is currently using, as well as how much power the solar panels are generating for the brewery.
Uinta hopes to continually find new ways of taking steps within the brewery to conserve energy, thereby setting an example in the Salt Lake business community. In addition to the solar panels, Uinta installed “t8” lighting throughout the brewery. This form of lighting emits the same amount of light, while using only half the power required to illuminate the space.
UINTA BREWING CO-Uinta Brewing Company embarked upon its mission of brewing world class, full-flavored, craft-brewed beer in 1993. Uinta Brewing is named after an east-west mountain range located in northeastern Utah. Many of Uinta’s beer names are inspired by Utah’s diverse landscapes or have historical significance. Uinta has broadened its market and can be found in 21 states from coast-to-coast, and has even ventured to other countries around the world. Uinta is committed to brewing world-class beer using the best practices and ingredients.
Maui Brewing has started adding solar panels to the brewery. The new 101kw photo voltaic system will produce between 90%-95% of all the power the brewery needs.
