The editorial take
Beer Co. Platte Street is a solar-powered brewery with a wide-ranging beer list, from crisp pilsners to hazy IPAs and fruit-forward sours. Seasonal oddities like Salted Watermelon & Lime Lager and Peach Daddy Cobbler Ale keep the taplist lively. Award-winning flagships such as Princess Yum Yum and Graham Cracker Porter show serious brewing chops. Non-alcoholic hop waters round out the program for those skipping alcohol.
- What should I order?
- Start with a custom flight to sample the range. For a crisp option, Rocky Mtn Pilsner; for fruit, Princess Yum Yum Raspberry Kolsch; for something dark, Graham Cracker Porter. Seasonal picks like Salted Watermelon & Lime Lager are worth trying when available.

The lineup includes award-winning beers like Princess Yum Yum (Gold at Australian International Beer Awards) and Graham Cracker Porter (Gold at GABF).
