Bierstadt Lagerhaus - Denver, CO12/15/2023 Get to know your brewer @bierstadtlager.
Meet Ashleigh—head brewer, self-professed Lagerhead, and all around badass. She, and her husband, Bill, are the owners and operators of one of Denver’s most popular breweries: Bierstadt Lagerhaus. • Bierstadt opened its doors in August 2016–bringing you some of the best Lagers in the country. • Ashleigh has been brewing professionally since August of 2011. • The first beer she brewed at Bierstadt was an IPL collaboration with @comradebrewing, in order to test out their brewhouse before making their core beers: the Slow Pour Pils, Helles, and Dunkel. • Bierstadt brews with a 30 bbl system. They utilize eight 100+ bbl horizontal fermenters for those delicious Lagers. • Ashleigh’s favorite style to brew would be, you guessed it, Lagers. That’s the only style they make at Bierstadt. Their philosophy is, “Do one style, but do it well.” • The hardest challenge she’s faced as the head brewer would be just improving—to get more dialed in every day and not be complacent. Her most challenging skill would be learning packaging. It wasn’t a skill she opened the brewery with and had to learn quickly. • Unlike other breweries, you won’t catch Bierstadt planning on new beers. Ashleigh loves doing collabs with friends, and she emphasizes the importance of Bierstadt getting in a groove and continuing to make their core offerings exceptional. • A great reason to stop by Bierstadt would be the fact they make some of the best Lagers in the business. They are committed to making Lagers traditionally, with patience, and serving it well. She wants one to feel like you haven’t visited Denver without a stop at Bierstadt. • Asleigh’s favorite lawnmower beer would be @coorsbanquetor @theoriginalolympia. • When she’s not brewing, you can catch Ashleigh hanging out with her dog, traveling, drinking Lagers and talking shit. Oh, and she makes some mean tortillas. Next time you’re in Denver, make sure to stop by Bierstadt and savor their excellent array of Lagers. It’s not a trip to Denver without a visit. 😉
