Elevation Beer Company

Why We Love It: Just four years out of the gate, this brewery near Salida has made a name for itself with experimental brews like Apis IV—a high-ABV Quadrupel made with honey from a local fourth-generation beekeeper. Nutty, complex, with notes of spice and dark fruit, it’s a winner with cheese or charcuterie. Also not to be missed: Bridging the Divide—a fruit-forward brown ale collab with Telluride Brewing Company aged in bourbon barrels.
