What really sets Call to Arms apart from the rest is their commitment to restoring the essence of community and camaraderie to the industry. “We like the idea of having a great lager on at all times, it’s the hardest style to do well because you can’t hide any of its flaws, it’s delicate, and it also takes much longer to brew,” said Brookstein. This Thursday when CTA officially opens, they’ll kick things off with their Clintonian Pale Ale, Oats and Hose Oatmeal Porter, Burkhalter Dunkelweizen, Amigos Borrachos Vienna Lager, Gluten Powerful Wit and Zoiglbier. If their opening tap lineup is any indicator, they’ll be bringing a unique take on secondary styles (mainly German and Belgian influenced) or reviving styles that have waned in popularity.

However, Call to Arms gives them the chance to have “absolute creative freedom, that their only restraints would be their own imaginations.” When asked why they decided to leave Avery, Jesse made it clear that they all loved their time at the Boulder-based brewery, that they learned so much about brewing, and the industry as a whole from Avery. With such an all-star cast of owners it should come as no surprise that Call to Arms continues the trend started earlier this year by Ratio Beerworks and Spangalang Brewery, opening strong, with the right people, doing things the right way.

These three ideals serve not only as the motto to Denver’s newest neighborhood craft brewery, Call to Arms Brewing Company, but they also echo as a rallying cry to reclaim what the craft beer industry has at some times lost focus on over the past two years.Ĭoincidentally Call to Arms teams up three veterans of the industry in Chris Bell, Jesse Brookstein, and Jon Cross, who combine 22 years of brewing experience, 13 of which were served together at Boulder’s Avery Brewing Company.
