Denver Union Station and
Denver Beer Co. have partnered to create a new beer commemorating the renovation of the historic Denver Union Station.
Union Kolsch will be sold exclusively at Union Station's Terminal Bar and Denver Beer's Platte Street location just across the tracks. The Terminal Bar, located on the east side of the Great Hall, features Union Station's original ticket windows and an outdoor patio overlooking Wynkoop Street. Union Kolsch joined more than 30 varieties of Colorado craft beers offered at the bar, as well as its extensive wine list.
Inspired by Denver's rich German brewing history, Union Kolsch is a bright, straw-colored ale with a white head. Malty and lightly hopped, the beer has a touch of fruit and a clean, refreshing finish. The official public tapping will take place on Repeal Day (Fri. Dec. 5) at 5 p.m.
Denver Union Station is home to various bars, restaurants and retailers, as well as The Crawford Hotel, a 112-room boutique hotel named for urban preservationist Dana Crawford. The station and hotel feature more than 600 pieces of eclectic Western art, curated by NINE dot ARTS. Pieces include vintage family pictures and travel postcards, inherited objects and a "found objects" collage collected from under the station's benches during construction, including 1940s celebrity trading cards.
