Great Divide’s 18th Anniversary Preview

Great Divide 18th AnniversaryNo need to change a great thing.  Great Divide Brewing’s anniversary beer pleases even the pickiest of hop lovers.  The beer doesn’t really change each year, but the subtle oak/wood nuances will a bit.  18th Anniversary is coming at you soon.

Based on our most award-winning beer, Denver Pale Ale, this copper-hued treat is a celebration of everything Great Divide does best. Plenty of malty sweetness provides a backdrop for earthy English and American hops, while French and American oak round off the edges and provide a touch of vanilla.  Thanks to everyone who’s supported us for the last 18 years – here’s to 18 more!

Style: Imperial IPA (Oak Aged)
