About Cerebral Brewing
Cerebral Brewing is a brewery and taproom in Denver's Congress Park neighborhood. Co-founders Sean Buchan and Dan McGuire started it in 2015 along Colfax Avenue. The team brews with scientific methodology and an artistic viewpoint.
Cerebral has run an in-house QA/QC lab since day one. Its passions are foeder fermented lagers, imaginative IPAs and a barrel-aging program. The beer list includes Rare Trait House IPA, Gasoline Rainbows West Coast IPA and Neon Lite Colfax Lager.
The setting is light, airy and science-inspired, with a beer garden. Food trucks serve the Congress Park taproom. Trivia runs on Tuesdays and a Magic: The Gathering commander night runs on Wednesdays.
The Cerebral Run Club meets at Congress Park on Mondays at 6pm, hosted by Denver Athletics. Runners of every level are welcome.
