Brewery Profile

Mirror Image Brewing

For visitors following the beer trail through northern Colorado, this Frederick stop offers a smaller-town counterpart to the breweries in nearby Longmont. Mirror Image Brewing operates as a small brewpub east of that neighboring city, with Steve and Theresa running it as a husband-and-wife, family-run business. A visitor walking in should expect a brewery organized around its taproom and brewing staff rather than a large regional brand. One detail that gives the place context is its name: it honors Dennis and Daniel Richards, the “Mirror Twins,” whose influence helped lead the owners into the brewing industry.

Travelers in this part of Colorado often look for independent breweries where the story of the business is still close to the people making the beer. Mirror Image fits that kind of visit because the brewing program is closely associated with Theresa, the head brewer. Her early professional recognition is part of the brewery’s profile: within her first two years of operation, she earned two medals at the Great American Beer Festival. Without assuming a fixed lineup or specific styles, that background gives beer-focused visitors a reason to pay attention to the current pours and ask what is being brewed or served at the time.

Practical details beyond the brewery’s identity as a small brewpub are best confirmed directly before or during a visit. Current tap lists, hours, food availability, seating arrangements, events, and policies can change, and those amenities are not established here. The taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours and learn what the brewing team is emphasizing. For travelers already moving between Frederick and Longmont, the brewery works as a local stop with a compact, family-run profile and a documented connection to Colorado’s broader brewing community.
