Great Divide Brewing Co. was founded in 1994 in Denver, Colorado, and has grown into one of the state's most recognized craft breweries. For three decades, the brewery built a strong reputation in the Colorado beer scene before being acquired in 2025 by Wilding Brands, a local collective of beverage brands that also includes Denver Beer Co., Upslope Brewing, and Stem Ciders. The acquisition keeps Great Divide firmly rooted in its Denver home. Great Divide is known for its bold, characterful beers that reflect the rugged spirit of the Rocky Mountain region. The brewery's portfolio spans a wide range of styles, with particular strength in big, malt-forward beers. Among its most celebrated offerings is the Yeti Imperial Stout, a flagship that has earned a devoted following and helped establish the brewery's identity around full-flavored, assertive brewing. Hibernation Ale is another long-standing seasonal release that has become a fan favorite over the years. With a taproom presence in Denver and a brewpub at Denver International Airport, Great Divide offers visitors a tangible taste of Colorado craft beer culture. The brewery has also distinguished itself through sustainability efforts, ranking in the top 1% for waste diversion in the craft beer industry. In 2025, Great Divide refreshed its packaging with updated icons designed to reflect its core identity: Bold Character.
