Cannonball Creek Brewing is celebrating their 7th anniversary this weekend. While it may seem as if Golden has always been awash with craft breweries, it wasn’t always this way. Coors (never a craft brewery–always intent on large-scale production) was established in 1873. After that, we waited 120 years for Golden City Brewery, which began in 1993.

Cannonball Creek (today’s celebrant) began the tidal wave of breweries, which opened as follows:
2013 Cannonball Creek Brewing
2013 Mountain Toad Brewing
2013 Barrels & Bottles
2016 Holidaily
2016 New Terrain Brewing
2018 Coda Brewing
2019 Over Yonder Brewing

The historic Colorado Transcripts and Golden Globes inform us that there was an earlier “Golden City Brewery” in the 1860s and a “Golden Eagle Brewery” in the 1890s.
