Our Story
Casey Brewing and Blending is the idea of bringing back old-world brewing techniques to the modern day consumer. Our beers are created with over 99% local Colorado ingredients. We ferment and age our beers in vintage oak barrels with a mixed culture of saccharomyces, brettanomyces and lactic acid bacteria. Time is one of the most important elements to us, as the barrel aging process creates flavors that are impossible to create any other way. Our beers are unfiltered and 100% bottle conditioned.
How we used to handle releases in 2014-2015, much calmer now!

Troy Casey
Troy Casey created Casey Brewing and Blending in the fall of 2013 after years of experimenting with oak barrel aging and wild yeast and bacteria. He realized these types of beers were his true passion and decided to create a place where he could focus solely on 100% oak barrel fermentations using saccharomyces, brettanomyces and lactic acid bacteria, all while using local Colorado ingredients.
Process
Filling Barrels - We ferment and age 100% of our beer in vintage oak barrels
Fermentation - Sometimes our yeast gets crazy and has a mind of it's own!
Fruit - We only use whole fruit in our beers. These are Colorado apricots.
Oak aging - Our beers age anywhere from 4 months to 2 years in oak barrels.
Bottling - All our beers are bottled by hand and naturally allowed to bottle condition for anywhere from 1 month to 1 year before release.
