TRVE Brewing is Actually Brewing Beer

So we’ve been getting a lot of questions lately. Two of ‘em stick out more than the others though:

  • When can I join the Cvlt?
  • When are you guys opening?

We’re happy to say that we now know when these are both gonna happen.

CVLT INITIATION

We wanted to be sure that we’d have some beer on hand to give you a little sample when you pledge your oath to us. Now that our first batch is bubbling away in its fermenter, we know when we’ll have that beer available for you.

On June 9th, 2012 at noon we’ll open our doors to the public for the first time. We’ll let ya walk around a bit and check the place out (though we’ll probably still have some finishing touches to put on the place). You’ll get a sample of Wanderlust, our Belgian-American Pale. Best of all you’ll finally be able to pick up the badass growlers we’ve been dying to get in your hands.

Some of you have expressed a desire for a particular number of the edition – We’ll be selling them in numerical order. We’d recommend setting up a sleeping bag in front of our space the night before if not for that newfangled camping ban.

OPENING OUR DOORS

What day are you gonna be able to get more than a sample of our hellaciously tasty beer? We’ve decided that on June 27th, 2012 at 4PM we will be open for business. Come in and help us fulfill our goal of having everyone at the bar windmill headbang in sync. Hope to see you all then!

Stay Thrashy, Denver.


TRVE Brewing is Starting a Cvlt

Join the Legion

If you’ve swung by our location to check for some progress, you’ll have noticed a lot of changes since we first set foot in here. Lots of progress is being made and we’re getting closer and closer to opening our doors to all of you.

But we have to be honest with you: our three barrel system is pretty small relative to some of the other breweries out there. It’s so small that if we were to offer growler fills for everyone all the time it’d be pretty likely that we’d be unable to keep all our tap lines flowing. We’re pretty sure that would be a lot less fun since we’d have less opportunites to hang out with you. As a result, for our first year we’re offering a limited number of memberships to our Growler Cvlt.

By becoming a Cvlt member, you’re joining an elite legion of beer lovers who will be able to get a growler fill at any time. As if this isn’t pretty rad already, we’re also giving you a fixed price for fills, regardless of the beer we put in there for ya. That price? $7. Yup. Ten more ounces than a bomber for a buck less than you’d pay at the liquor store. A pretty damn good deal. On top of all that, we’re even gonna fill it the first five times for you for free.

If you don’t become a Cvlt member, you’ll still be able to get growlers filled once in a while, but it’s all gonna depend on how stocked up we are.

growlers

We’ve partnered with local artist Snowblinded to create a set of beautiful limited edition growlers. These gorgeous beer transporters feature a two color screenprinted illustration and are hand signed and numbered by our brewer and Snowblinded. We’re hoping someday you’ll hand these down to your anklebiters, should you be the breedin’ type.

Why 32 ounce growlers? When’s the last time you ever finished a whole 64 ounce growler by yourself? We feel 32 ounces is the perfect amount of beer to bring home. It makes for a pint for you and a friend, or two pints for yourself – a super manageable amount of beer for a decent evening of drinking. Thirstier? Fill two growlers and you’ve got the same amount as a growler without being limited to a single type of beer. You can always save that second growler for another night as well, without having to worry about it skunking.

To recap, becoming a Cvlt member gets you the following:

  •   A hand numbered and signed growler
  •   Five free refills of your growler
  •   Access to growler fills at any time. $7 a fill regardless of the beer.
  •   Invitations to Cvlt members-only special release events
  •   Some other fun surprises

A year long membership in the Cvlt will only run you $50. A second growler can be bought for an additional $25. We’ll be selling 266 growlers total.

We’re still working out a date where we can throw a big ol’ sale for these, but it should be real soon. We’ll be letting you know when this’ll all go down. We’ll also have our iconic Pintagram shirts on sale as well as our new women’s Sigil shirts. Keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter for more news.

Stay Doomy.


Home.

TRVE Brewing has come to exist as a result of many months of planning, research, and in some cases through your explicit help and encouragement. Our mission will be creating beers that are beyond the pale. To us this implies new ideas, channeling Loki, and embracing chaos. It means drawing from the sounds and sights that inspire us most in life. Our beers may or may not exactly adhere to any particular guidelines – We’re style blasphemers and category agnostics – and we may not win any medals as a result, but you can count on the fact that we’ll always brew damn good beer.

To us, TRVE represents being a part of a counter culture without immersing yourself to the point of taking it too seriously.

We want you to know that we’ve finally found ourselves a home. In the coming weeks we’ll be starting the buildout of our brewery at 227 Broadway #101. The keys are in hand, the mounds of paperwork are being filed with various licensors and regulators, and our brewing equipment will be shipping from Portland, Oregon on Monday. We’re unbelievably excited to be moving into the Baker ‘hood – It’s ripe time a neighborhood as vibrant as it is gets its own brewery. Our brewery will focus on serving our beer in an incredible tap room – think “dive mead hall” – with an ultimate goal of giving you a rad place to hang out and drink killer beer.

We’ll be posting more updates soon on some really great offers we’ll have in the coming months. Until then, thrash on!
