Big news for Greeley’s craft beer scene. One of the city’s favorite breweries just earned statewide bragging rights!
WeldWerks Brewing Co. was recently named Best Mid-Size Brewery at the Colorado Brewers Cup, topping breweries across the state that produce more than 675 barrels of beer each year. The competition received nearly 800 entries from 120 breweries, highlighting just how competitive Colorado’s craft beer scene has become.
For WeldWerks, the award is a big moment for a brewery that opened in downtown Greeley in 2015 and quickly built a loyal following among craft beer fans.
Four Medals for Greeley Beer
Along with the brewery of the year honor, WeldWerks took home four individual medals at the competition.
Two beers earned gold medals: 
-
JuicyFish, a hazy double IPA brewed with Azacca, Citra and Eclipse hops in collaboration with Pinthouse Brewing. The beer won gold in the Strong and Imperial Hoppy Beers category.
-
Grandma J’s Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, a creative sour ale featuring strawberry and rhubarb puree along with graham cracker and vanilla, won gold in the Sour Ale category.
Two other fan favorites earned silver medals: 
-
Juicy Bits, the brewery’s flagship hazy IPA and a longtime favorite in the taproom.
-
Extra Extra Juicy Bits, a bigger, bolder version of the classic IPA that previously won gold at the Great American Beer Festival in 2019.
A Big Win for Colorado Craft Beer
The Colorado Brewers Cup is organized by the Colorado Brewers Guild, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting independent craft breweries across the state.
WeldWerks founder Neal Fisher told the Greeley Tribune that winning multiple medals and the brewery award among so many entries is a proud moment for the team. Read the full Greeley Tribune article here.
