Hidden Gems: Meet Josh Grenz of Verboten Brewing and Barrel Project

Today we’d like to introduce you to Josh Grenz. 

Hi Josh, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
After years of homebrewing, my wife and I decided to open up Verboten Brewing early 2013 with an emphasis of being innovative and using spices, fruits, and barrel-aging as niche to the northern Colorado craft brewing community. As a Northern Colorado native, I wanted to open in Loveland and eventually have a downtown location, and in 2016 we expanded and moved into our current location at 127 E 5th Street, Loveland CO. We are known for our unique styles and barrel aging in which most of our awards and medals have been in those categories 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Moving locations was definitely our biggest challenge. After outgrowing our original location, we decided to move downtown. We were without a taproom for nearly 6 months while the new location was being remodeled to fit us. We had to contract brew to keep our product for wholesale all the while our equipment sat in 3 different storage units. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Verboten Brewing and Barrel Projecy?
Craft Beer. Wholesale cans and vibrant taproom 

How do you think about happiness?
My wife Angie and my Bassett Hound Burt. So much love to share
