The south Denver craft brewing scene is set to explode, but there's already a strong local beer presence in the area. The Renegade Publik House, located near the corner of Evans Ave. and University Blvd., helps satisfy demand in south Denver for excellent local beer and tasty bites. This cool little pub, which opened in 2013, is owned by the founders of Renegade Brewing Company.
Renegade Brewing is located in Denver's Santa Fe Arts District, and opened in 2011. Since that time, it's grown into a major up-and-coming player in the Colorado craft beer community, cranking out bold and exciting beers that are sold in the taproom and at the Publik House. Renegade also partners with Mobile Canning Systems for canning several mainline beers for distribution. These beers include the flagship Redacted Rye IPA, 5:00 Afternoon Ale, Elevation Triple IPA, and Hammer & Sickle Russian Imperial Stout, which was a 2013 winner at the Great American Beer Festival. The Renegade taproom is a community-minded place that eschews televisions in favor of board games and good conversation. Renegade carried that mindset over to the Publik House when it opened.
The food menu at the Publik House includes a variety of small plates, salads, and sandwiches, with delicious flat bread pizzas taking center stage. The draft beer selection features 25 taps, which include Renegade mainline and some seasonal rotating beers, with a broad range of other Colorado craft breweries represented. A nice selection of American craft bottles and cans is available as well. The Publik House staff is consistently friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is laid-back and inviting. It's a nice place to enjoy flavorful, nutritious food and taste some great beers with friends, especially on Saturdays when beer flights are on special. Two of the beers I chose for my beer flight during my recent visit were Renegade's Sunday Morning Coffee Ale and Berbere Imperial Stout, brewed with Ethiopian curry. Both are unique and excellent beers, reflective of Renegade's brewing prowess.
Head to the Publik House or Renegade taproom and find out why this brewery calls its beers "offensively delicious"!
