Award-Winning Craft Brewer Brings Hospitality-Geared Restaurant & Taproom to One of Its Highest-Demand Markets

Lafayette, CO – September 10, 2025 – Westbound & Down, the award-winning Colorado brewery redefining craft beer through hospitality and experience, has launched a new Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) raise to fund the purchase and buildout of a flagship Restaurant & Taproom in Northwest Denver.

Since its founding, Westbound & Down has expanded to multiple locations across Colorado and built a retail presence in over 400 bars/restaurants and more than 500 retail stores, including a partnership with Whole Foods. Featuring a team with Michelin-star restaurant experience, W&D has carved out a distinct position in the industry by pairing award-winning beer with world-class food and service.

Now, they’re bringing that full experience to one of their highest-demand markets. Strategically located to meet surging demand, this restaurant and taproom will act as a brand-forward hub designed to deepen customer engagement and an operational backbone for expanded retail sales.

The new restaurant and taproom continues W&D’s proven model: build great spaces, serve exceptional beer and food, and create a flywheel effect between retail and in-person experiences. Since 2019, that model has helped fuel 2,569% growth in wholesale beer sales.

“This is about meeting demand with intention,” said CEO and Director of Brewing Operations Jake Gardner. “Denver has long been one of our strongest regions, but we haven’t had a true home there – until now. This new location will bring our beer, food, and hospitality under one roof in a space designed for connection while helping accelerate retail adoption in Denver and beyond.”

The expansion also plays a key role in the company’s broader growth roadmap, supporting a plan to quadruple brewing capacity by 2028.

2026: Entry into the Southwest, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest; brewing capacity increases to 11,500 barrels
2027: Expansion into the West and East Coasts; scale production to 14,500 barrels
2028: Reach 19,000 barrels and achieve $3M in annual brewery profits

The company plans to purchase the building outright, providing long-term equity and operational control, while building out a restaurant and taproom experience that continues W&D’s tradition of best-in-class beer, food, and hospitality.

Investor funds raised during this round will go directly toward acquiring the property and launching the new Northwest Denver hub, setting this expansion plan into motion.
