Brewery Profile

Comrade Brewing Company

In a city with a long-established and crowded craft beer scene, Comrade Brewing Company has a clear identity rather than a broad tourist pitch. Established in Denver in 2014 by Marks Lanham and David Lin, it operates around a 15-barrel brewing system and presents itself as a production-focused brewery with a public taproom. A visitor walking in should expect a straightforward taproom experience centered on the beer list, seating, and the working-brewery setting rather than a restaurant-style visit. Its best-known beer is Superpower IPA, a flagship that has received steady regional attention and is often cited among Colorado’s leading IPAs.

Travelers coming through Denver often look for breweries that show how the Front Range approaches American craft beer, especially hop-forward ales. Comrade fits that route well because its lineup is primarily built around hop-forward American styles while still leaving room for lagers and stouts. For someone comparing Denver breweries, the stop is less about novelty or elaborate amenities and more about tasting a brewery known for execution within familiar categories. The focus on IPA also makes it a useful visit for people interested in how Colorado breweries interpret a style that remains central to the region’s beer culture.

Planning a visit is fairly simple. The taproom offers seating, and local food trucks are frequently part of the experience, but the brewery does not operate a full-service kitchen. Because the beer list can change, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, including whether Superpower IPA and any lagers or stouts are available. Distribution is concentrated primarily along the Colorado Front Range, so travelers who encounter the beer elsewhere in the region may still find the taproom the most direct place to see the current range. For visitors building a Denver brewery itinerary, Comrade is best treated as a beer-first stop with food dependent on the day’s truck schedule.
