Great Divide

Named for a medieval Scottish sword, CLAYMORE SCOTCH ALE is our tribute to the legendary “Wee Heavy” beers of Scotland. This malty, deep-ruby beauty features lots of caramel sweetness, a reserved hop profile, and a subtle warming character. Unlike its namesake, this beer only requires one hand, but it’ll still make you feel like nobility.

Hoppier, maltier and with more alcohol than a standard IPA, Hercules Double IPA definitely is not for the faint of heart. Hercules Double IPA is, however, an elixir fit for the gods. A brash but creamy wonder, Hercules pours a deep orange-coppery color, forming substantial lace in the glass. Hercules Double IPA delivers a huge amount of piney, floral, and citrusy hop aroma and flavor from start to finish. A hefty backbone of nutty, toffee-like malt character balances Hercules' aggressive, punchy hop profile.

Historically Great Divides flagship beer, DPA™s record speaks for itself. By continually garnering national and international recognition, DPA has risen to become one of the most award-winning English-style pale ales in the world.

Sporting a brilliant copper hue and an assertive floral hop aroma, DPA is known for its smooth, malty middle, which is expertly complemented with hearty and complex hop flavor. DPA’s extraordinary hop finish is marked by crisp yet moderate hop bitterness. Its well-balanced profile makes DPA the perfect beer to accompany a hearty mountain picnic or a night on the town. For those who seek beers characterized by excitement, flavor and distinction, Denver Pale Ale is the natural choice.

Titan IPA is a big, aggressively hopped India Pale Ale brewed for hop disciples. It starts out with piney hop aromas and citrus hop flavors, and finishes with a nice rich, malty sweetness that is balanced with crisp hop bitterness.

Multi-faceted tropical fruit, berry, and melon notes from the complex hop bill (American, New Zealand, Australian, and German varietals), but supported by the cereal-like malt character. This beer is hop-forward without being overly bitter and provides a balanced drinking experience.

Strawberry Rhubarb Sour is a gift for the senses. Strawberry is the yin to rhubarb’s yang—the sweet to the tart. This beautiful partnership creates a beer that glows ruby in the glass, bursts with strawberry aroma, and bites with every sip. Bright and effervescent, this sour is a fun and refreshing, lip-puckering treat perfect for every occasion, any time of the year.

This take on a Hazy IPA is a juicy mix of citrus aroma and nuanced fruit characters. The flavor opens towards tangerine and lime zest with notes of tropical papaya and mango, and finishes with a hint of ripe strawberries. At almost 6 pounds per barrel of hops, this Hazy IPA is a hop bomb that delivers the bitterness without the bite.

CAR CAMPER is the beer to fuel your next adventure. Generously hopped and dry-hopped with Sabro hops, the aroma hints at cantaloupe, mango and coconut and finishes evenly with a pleasant mouthfeel. Surrender to your wanderlust and be sure to pack plenty of CAR CAMPER.

ROADIE GRAPEFRUIT RADLER was inspired by the annual BoulDurango, where some of Colorado’s most tenured brewers join up for a 400+ mile ride. Brewed with natural grapefruit puree, this easy-drinking ale pours a hazy sunrise gold and is bursting with citrus aroma. Unique in its class, this Radler is dry and slightly tart, with just enough bitterness to keep both cyclists and spectators coming back for more.

For this release in the Wood Werks series, we brewed up a base saison that is meant to tend towards the spicier side of the style. The addition of spelt and rye further accentuate this earthy/spicy component. We then laid the beer down in a mix of merlot and cabernet sauvignon barrels for ten months, which will round out the overall character of the beer. The final product will be bready, earthy, and spicy with a luxurious mouthfeel with a hint of vinous character and a splash of color from the wine.

Using a subtle Belgian yeast strain to create a malty, enticing base beer, this Wood Werks offering reimagines a traditional Trappist-style dubbel. The beer was then aged in grape brandy barrels for ten months with orange peel and cherry puree. Consider it the beer version of an Old Fashioned.
