Westfax Brewing Celebrates Their 7th Anniversary This Weekend
Westfax Brewing is celebrating their 7th anniversary Friday through Sunday this week with a retro arcade, food trucks, and 10 different beers releasing throughout the weekend. Stop by their Colfax location in Denver (right next to Casa Bonita, being actively remodeled) to join in the festivities.
We had the opportunity to get a preview of their retro arcade (presented in partnership with Level 7 Game Shop) where they have a bunch of arcade cabinets and retro game systems – n64 Mario Kart, anyone? -set up in the brewery space as well as a bus parked in the back with more games (our favorite was the old Atari Star Wars game), old school sports card packs, and merch.
Some of their ten beers available this weekend were also available for us to try during our preview. Their DDH IPA, Asphalt Cowboy is a nice hazy with juicy, fruity notes, with a little hop burn was really excellent. They are also featuring a Vienna lager, that will scratch that Yuengling itch, called Hasta La Vista Lager. A lot of these are going to be not only offered on draft, but available in cans (or bottles for the barrel aged offerings) to go home with you.
Springs Connection
Readers might recall that Westfax Brewing has purchased the previously planned Weldwerks expansion location in Colorado Springs. They plan to open a taproom featuring 16+ taps, with no brewing happening on-site. They will keep brewing operations at their Denver location. Their contractors have been working on the building lately if you’ve been past it to see the progress, and they’ve secured (read: purchased) a parking lot to supplement the handful of spaces next to the building itself. Founder/Owner, Anthony Martuscello mentioned they should be open early this fall if all continues to go well, and remains on schedule.
We look forward to enjoying their beer locally this fall. Keep an eye here for more details and any announcements as we get closer to their opening date.
