Next Saturday, May 31 is the last day you can get Burns Family Artisan Ales beer from us. Ever. We are closing the business and we have no plans to brew our beer elsewhere.

Make sure you raid our Vintage Bottles sale sooner rather than later, the best picks are disappearing daily.
So are our newer bottles: your chances to take home the strongest beer ever made in Colorado are getting slim.

We'll see you soon!

The fire is going out. Burns Family Artisan Ales’ last day selling beer through the taproom to the public will be May 31, 2025.

When we opened to the public on August 18, 2018, our pride was in our great service and in the quality and innovation of our beer, our brewhouse helmed by Wayne Burns, a brewer with decades of professional experience. We developed classic and experimental styles from 2.2%abv to 25.1%abv. We succeeded with our niche of barrel-aged and high-alcohol beer to an extent that we remain the 4th highest rated brewery in the state of Colorado and consistently rate within the top ten breweries nationwide for our Solar Eclipse series. We have a client base of loyalists who visit us regularly, cheerlead for us, promote us and can’t say enough good things about us (thank you!) It’s been our honor to attend prestigious invitation-only events. Wayne already had many medals to his credit from World Beer Cup and Great American Beer Festival before we even opened. We entered competitions and took home a bronze medal just last year for Artemesia, a barrel-aged variant of Ship Of Theseus Old Ale, for which recipe Wayne has now won 4 medals at Great American Beer Festival. We have earned an awe-factor at festivals we attend, where our lines typically well-outstrip other breweries. We are a first-stop for beer travelers from across the United States & world. When people speak of Burns Family Artisan Ales, they do so with respect and enthusiasm.

So, why leave what is seemingly a great run? It is certain that specious speculation will conjure up many reasons, and we implore you to seek the truth rather than believe in rumor. The truth of the matter is that our taproom was full only on the rarest of occasions. We needed more patrons. The most advantageous way to get the best cash flow is by selling someone a glass of beer, in your own place, over the bar. We simply didn’t have enough people visiting to enable growth.

Thank you for buying beer, for attending our events, recommending us to others. We love each & every one of you – it is not your fault that we are closing. It is not OUR fault. It’s just the way business can be.
