At Born Colorado Brewing we believe beers are more than a beverage. They are laughing until you can’t breathe and camping under the stars in Banff. They are backyard barbecues on Canada Day and sunburns from Spring skiing. That is why BCB brews crisp, fresh, unique beers that have you itching for your next journey.
The BCB taproom is a place to engage with our vibrant city. We provide the beer and space for you to write your story. BCB is a place where strangers become friends over good brews, lots of laughs, and adventure. Come say hi! We can’t wait to host you!

341mL can, pours black with a small beige head. Nose brings out a nice earthy roasted coffee bean character, with a soft, dusty cocoa powder character in back. Flavour is a coffee bomb, with an intense moderately roasted coffee character dominating. There's medium sweetness and very low roastiness. The hop content is not very discernible. That coffee character really is forceful. Very tasty.
