Brewery Profile

Sanitas Brewing Company - Englewood, CO

In Englewood’s beer scene, Sanitas Brewing Company gives visitors a Front Range name with roots in Boulder brewing history. The company was established in 2013 and is associated with a broad lineup of craft beer, with more than 32 unique beers produced and distribution focused mainly across Colorado’s Front Range. For someone walking into the Englewood location, the main draw is the chance to check what Sanitas is pouring that day and see how this brewery presents itself outside its original Boulder setting. Rather than relying on a single flagship identity, Sanitas is known for rotating through a range of beers, so the visit is best approached as a taproom stop where the current board matters.

Travelers in the Denver and Front Range area often look for breweries that connect local brewing history with variety: darker barrel-influenced beers, hop-forward drafts, seasonal releases, and styles that reflect Colorado’s long-running craft beer culture. Sanitas fits that pattern through its origin story. Co-founders Michael and Chris, both former brewers at Boulder Beer, began with an Imperial Stout aged in a leftover whiskey barrel. That experiment became the basis for Blackhorn Owl Imperial Stout, named after a large owl they encountered during a late-night brewing session. Even if that specific beer is not always available, the story helps explain why visitors may find Sanitas a useful stop for understanding one strand of the region’s modern brewery scene.

Practical details for the Englewood taproom should be confirmed directly before visiting, especially hours, food options, seating, events, and the day’s draft list. The known Sanitas experience includes rotating drafts, and the taproom is the place to verify what is currently available rather than assuming a particular beer will be on. The company’s Boulder taproom is often noted for its large outdoor seating area and atmosphere, but amenities at the Englewood location should not be assumed from that. Visitors planning a brewery crawl in Englewood or the south Denver area can treat Sanitas as a flexible stop: check the current pours, ask about seasonal or limited beers, and use the visit to sample a brewery with a decade-plus presence in Colorado’s Front Range market.

Sanitas Brewing Company, established in 2013, focuses on producing over 32 unique craft beers, distributed primarily across Colorado's Front Range region. The brewery's foundational moment involved co-founders Michael and Chris, both former brewers at Boulder Beer, experimenting with an Imperial Stout aged in a leftover whiskey barrel. This initial recipe inspired their first signature beer, the Blackhorn Owl Imperial Stout, named after an encounter with a large owl during a late-night brewing session. The Boulder taproom features a large outdoor seating area, often highlighted for its size and atmosphere, where the majority of their rotating drafts are served.
