NEW ARRIVAL: Great Divide Smoked Baltic Porter
One of the 2 newest beers in Great Divide (Denver, CO) post expansion days have arrived – Smoked Baltic Porter. Great Divide recently completed a $1.2 million dollar expansion that added cooler space and an expanded bottling line, plus 2 1oo-barrel fermenters. With those additions, Great Divide now has 7 fermenters, and can now bottle 125 more beers a minute. Another added feature is the ability to laser label a bottling date on the labels. These new releases add more depth to Great Divide’s portfolio.
From the label —
