Steamworks Brewing Co. is a craft brewery founded in 1996 in Durango, Colorado, a town that has earned a reputation as a hub for exceptional craft beer in the American Southwest. From its earliest days, the brewery made an impression with its shiny copper kettles and large fermentation tanks, quickly becoming a landmark in the local brewing scene. Over the decades, Steamworks has grown from a neighborhood staple into a regionally distributed brand, with its beers now reaching states including New York, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The brewery is known for a diverse portfolio of craft beers spanning a wide range of styles. One of its most celebrated offerings is the Colorado Kölsch, a signature beer that has earned the brewery a Silver medal and helped cement Durango's standing as a premier beer destination. Steamworks has also demonstrated a collaborative spirit, partnering annually with Ska Brewing since 1997 to release a special beer celebrating the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, a beloved local tradition. With 22 medals from the World Beer Cup to its name, Steamworks has built a strong reputation for quality and consistency. The brewery combines its award-winning beer program with a full kitchen dedicated to fresh food and creative recipes, making it a destination brewpub as well as a respected craft producer.
