Denver Head Brewer Dies In Mountain Climbing Fall
Jason Buehler, the head brewer at Denver Beer Co., died in a fall near the summit of North Maroon Peak, one of Colorado’s most recognized mountains.
An avid climber, husband and father to three, Buehler was a well-regarded, award-winning brewer and the driving force behind the company’s Latin American spinoff, Cerveceria Colorado.
“There is nothing we can say that can possibly convey the way we are feeling right now,” brewery owners Patrick Crawford and Charlie Berger wrote in a Facebook message posted Monday. “He was our glue. He was our inspiration. He was our energy,”
“We know that there are so many more people that he has connected with than we can even possibly imagine. It was one of his truest traits. Jason was magnetic. If you were lucky enough to have a beer with him, you were damn lucky.”
“From Ohio to Mexico, Brazil, Platte St. and beyond, he leaves friends wishing for just one more. He shared his knowledge with other brewers and spent his time learning about unique local ingredients and brewing culture. Jason could walk into a brewery anywhere, and instantly be friends with everyone, regardless of whether they spoke the same language.”
“As a brewer, Jason was one of the greatest talents in the industry. The GABF and World Beer Cup hardware he amassed in his career is only the beginning of that story. The rest of it is in our pint glasses. And will continue to be for a long, long time as we brew his recipes in his honor,”
“We love you JB. You will remain forever in our hearts.”

Oakland Gets New Gluten-Free Brewery
Mike Bernstein, a longtime surfer, trail runner, backpacker and brewing professional, who was forced to abandon beer after learning that he had to avoid gluten in his diet, has opened Oakland’s newest brewery. And he only brews beer he can enjoy…
“It was an amazing journey to go from homebrewing in my garage to reaching the point of commercial production,” Bernstein said.
“The wild adventure continues as I share my beers not just within the gluten-free community, but also with discerning craft beer enthusiasts.”
