Syndicate Brewing

Description

Syndicate was formed from the need to have beer on-tap at all times. We started home-brewing in “The Hut”, in Breckenridge, CO. Sanitizing the kitchen counter, boiling wort on a leaking gas stove, and cooling the wort in the snow outside.

It would take all-day to brew 5 gallons. We would head downtown for a few drinks (beer, whiskey, or otherwise) during slow brew steps. Many breaks were taken before the brew day was complete.

We decided after some time that buying a commercial system was the obvious next step… scribbling logo designs on bar napkins, not knowing a thing about business, we wrote a check and ordered a 3 BBL mashtun, and one 3 BBL fermenter.

We stored the equipment in a shed until we found our first commercial space where we brewed and sold wholesale for 3 years and through a global pandemic before opening our taproom her in Silverthorne.

We still brew on our original mashtun, but now have three 6 BBL fermenters, two 3 BBL fermenters, cellar control, and MORE to help create some of the best beers in Summit County.
