The editorial take
Steel Hands Brewing runs a beer-first program with up to 14 varieties on tap. Year-round pours include Coffee Lager, Tropical IPA, Pecan Brown Ale, Juicy-Hazy IPA, Imperial IPA, All Citra IPA, and Sandstorm Lager. Seasonal releases bring Doppelbock in winter and Steel Paws Ale. Cans leave in 12oz 6-packs and Variety 12-Packs through local retailers. Cocktails are available, with the community-reported Dex Merita and a much-praised margarita that can be requested as a bartender's signature drink.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Coffee Lager, a 4.5% ABV, 15 IBU lager infused with coffee from local roaster Loveland Coffee. For hops, the Juicy-Hazy IPA brings Amarillo, Mandarina, and Citra at 6.0% ABV and 35 IBU. The Pecan Brown Ale balances biscuit, caramel, and chocolate with pecan nuttiness at 5.5% ABV. A flight lets you compare across the tap list.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a broad tap list with published ABV and IBU details, and those who like to take 6-packs or Variety 12-Packs home. Cocktail drinkers have the Dex Merita and a margarita option, though the beer program is the main draw.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The range spans lagers, IPAs, brown ale, and seasonals, with as many as 14 varieties on tap and off-premise 6-packs and Variety 12-Packs through local retailers.
