Aspen Brewing Company, located on 557 North Mill St., has officially opened their doors.
Terry Butler, Duncan Clauss, Rory Douthit, and Brad Veltman are all smiles at Aspen Brewing Company's grand opening celebration.

If you haven't been inside the Aspen Brewing Company since its opening March 17, you've been missing out. Boasting two delicious brews, Smuggler Wheat and Brown BearAle, on tap (and more to come) the brewery feels like a perfect fit for our mountain town.
While the brew boys--Terry Butler, Duncan Clauss, Brad Veltman, and Rory Douthit--pour in-house tasters, sell growlers to go, and serve up Smuggler Wheat at New York Pizza--they are currently prohibited from serving more than 16 oz. per person per day in their tasting room. The restriction is due to their 557 North Mill St. location, which places them in the SCI Zone (Service/Commercial/Industrial), a zone that prohibits the establishment of bars and restaurants.
At a City Council's February 25 meeting, Aspen Brewing Company appealed Community Development director Chris Bendon's decision to prohibited the brewery from serving more that 16 oz. of beer per person per day, wherein the City Council sided with Bendon.
Aspen Brewing Company will appeal the 16 oz. restriction at the public City Council meeting tonight at 6 p.m. at City Hall (located at 130 S. Galena, across the street from Zélé Café). Feel free to participate in the poll below, make a comment, or attend the meeting tonight to voice your opinion on this hot topic.
