Description
It seems simple.

Water. Yeast. Grains. Hops. That’s all it takes to make beer. But what we do with those simple ingredients within these walls is what makes us special.

Foothills began brewing beer at our West 4th Street location in March 2005, with three 15-barrel fermenters. Jamie and his brewers managed to crank out 800 barrels of beer that year, and doubled that output the following year.

As demand and production continued to increase, the need became obvious for more space. The solution came in the form of a 48,000 square foot warehouse a few miles away, an old manila envelope factory that was retro-fitted with brewing equipment and became Foothills’ main production facility, located at 3800 Kimwell Drive.

Today both brewery locations continue to produce our top-quality beers. We offer weekend tours from our tasting room at our main brewing facility. Conversely, if you ask nicely at the downtown brewpub, you can probably get a peek at the operation.

Bottle shared by Shane, thanks! Poured black with a brown head that dissipated quickly to the edges. Aroma had some dark fruits with roasted malt and dark grains. There was a nice bourbon note as well. Flavor began with roasted malts and dark fruits and was balanced out by the bourbon in the finish. A smooth beer as well, but lacked a little body.

Bottle shared generously by jcwattsrugger. Pours black. Excellent lacing. Nose and taste of honey, bourbon, vanilla and cocoa. A bit phenol at times. Body could have been a wee bit thicker. Overall, a very solid imperial stout.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of chocolate and roasted malt as well as lighter notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of chocolate combined with medium notes of alcohol and wood, leading to a dry finish where the notes of chocolate and alcohol carries thru. Thanks madsberg for sharing your bottle.
