Westbound & Down Brewing, the rapidly growing Colorado beer maker that just recently raised $1.2 million in a public offering, said Wednesday it is moving forward on the next stage of its growth plan.
The brewery plans to open a stylish, full-service restaurant and taproom at 5540 W. 29th Ave. in Wheat Ridge, just a few blocks northwest of Denver’s Sloan’s Lake. The location is close to Joyride Brewing, Hogshead Brewery, Cerebral Brewing and Barquentine Brewing.

But construction will take some time since it will involve the complete renovation of two adjacent buildings and the addition of a 1,600-square-foot rooftop patio (with views of the mountains) and an outdoor courtyard between them, according to plans revealed by Westbound. The company is hoping to finance the purchase of the property with another public offering.
The new location is expected to open by late 2026 or early 2027, Westbound said.
When it is finished, the 4,000-square-foot interior will feature 18 taps upstairs and another 18 downstairs, along with a full kitchen serving pizza, sandwiches and elevated pub fare.
“Denver has long been one of our strongest regions, but we haven’t had a true home there – until now,” Jake Gardner, Westbound CEO and Director of Brewing Operations, said in a statement. “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.”
Jake Gardner is the CEO of Westbound & Down Brewing in Colorado. (Provided by Westbound & Down)Westbound currently runs a small taproom in the stylized alley behind the Dairy Block, at 1800 Wazee St. in Denver. The company was founded in Idaho Springs in 2015 and still operates a restaurant and brewery there. Its primary brewing facility, along with another pub, is in Lafayette. Westbound also owns a production facility in Aspen and taprooms in Aspen and Carbondale.
It is known for IPAs like Spirit of the West, Juice Caboose and Tropical Arts, and lagers like Infinity Pils and Italian Pils. It has won nine Great American Beer Festival medals, including three in 2024.
Westbound & Down has been using the crowd-funded platform DealMaker to raise capital and help continue its growth. The brewery aims to quadruple production by 2028.
