Chris Fish and Tommy Thacher met at a local bar one night and discussed their dream of opening a brewery, which became a reality in 2011 when they partnered with a real estate broker and a local graphic artist to build their brewery and fine tune their brewing process. The result is a variety of beers that come straight from Rocky Mountain snowmelt, which are made with premium malts and worthy hops. The taste is smooth and rich. Since the first beer was poured in 2012, Telluride Brewing has been on a tear. Telluride Brewing has undergone three different expansions, which have allowed production to double each year. The brewery also took home gold medals for their Face Down Brown at World Beer Cup (2012); Great American Beer Festival (2012); and Great American Beer Festival (2014). Over the last three years, Telluride Brewing has also expanded it distribution of its kegs and cans throughout the great state of Colorado.
