I am an ode to the city that my brewery has called home since 1994. As we're situated in the RiNo Art District of Denver, Great Divide thought that it would be a cool idea to turn my can into a new canvas every year, giving local artists a platform to showcase their work. This year, the art on my can features the spirit of lending a helping hand, which embodies the idea of the newly created Denver Pale Ale Foundation that supports nonprofit organisations that fall under the Hunger Relief & Homelessness, Community & Environmental Stewardships, Education & At-Risk Youths, as well as The Arts categories.
I taste as good as my packaging looks; bold and vibrant with huge pine and citrus hop notes, faint toasted malt character and a dry, bitter finish. From city to trail and back again, no matter what time or season, I'm sure you would enjoy me.
