The editorial take
Comrade Brewing Company has been brewing on a 100% US-made brewhouse since 2014 and has collected seven Great American Beer Festival medals and two World Beer Cup golds along the way. The tap list moves through contemporary American styles, seasonals, one-offs, guest beers, gluten-free and non-alcoholic options, with September 2026 tappings including Fresh Hop Colorado Pale Ale, Midnight Toker Black IPA, Dankonomics West Coast IPA, and More Dodge Less RAM. A dedicated cafe and coffee shop adds espresso, coffee, chai, and Rebel Bread pastries to the same address.
- What should I order?
- Start with Superpower, the IPA a customer called the best they've had, or its fresh-hop sibling Superdamp. More Dodge Less RAM, a 2019 and 2022 GABF gold medal winner, is the other obvious pour. Department of Dankonomics, the West Coast IPA collaboration with Amalgam Brewing, is available on draft and in 4-packs to go.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who track medal-winning American styles, fresh-hop releases, and rotating one-offs will find plenty to work through. The cafe side gives non-drinking companions espresso, chai, and pastries from Rebel Bread, so a mixed group has a reason to settle in.
- When should I go?
- The September 2026 tapping calendar gives a reason to plan around specific release dates, including Fresh Hop Colorado Pale Ale on 9/4 and More Dodge Less RAM on 9/9. Otherwise, the cafe and taproom serve as a daytime coffee stop or an evening beer stop.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Seven GABF medals and two World Beer Cup golds sit behind a program that still finds room for gluten-free, non-alcoholic, and guest beers. The same building houses a cafe pouring Kaladi Coffee Roasters espresso and Rebel Bread pastries, which is an unusual pairing for a medal-heavy brewery.
