Photo from 2013 Chef Eric Miller and Doug Sattem were responsible for the birth of the culinary scene here at C+. I was working at a liquor store to earn a little income while we were under construction back in 2012 and I happened to run into this person who overheard my conversation talking to some customers in line about this project and he came up to the counter to make his purchase and introduced himself as Doug and mentioned that he had thought about opening up a barbecue joint in the same building a while back and after a few conversations and meetings we became partners and his stake in the brewpub helped to fund the construction and remodel of the kitchen. Because of his investment we went from potentially only able to offer hotdogs to a full service restaurant and Doug had good friends who were so kind to help out and one of those friends Eric was a lead chef instructor at the Le Cordon Blue Academy in CA to help develop the original menu and the burger that helped put C+ on the map the Colorado Plus Burger was their creation. Doug’s contributions go further than the menu, he also introduced us to his friends Carbo and Chet who helped with some of the carpentry (picnic tables shelving). Our partnership was somewhat short lived but we’re always reminded that his ideas and contributions to the start of the culinary program paved the way for the future kitchen staff here at C+

Shedding some light on the beginning of C+. In the beginning, we actually weren’t considering a brewery, the original concept was multiple Colorado only beers on tap and then along came our good friend Adam Draeger who was at that time the Head Brewer at the Yak & Yeti (now known as Spice Trade Brewing). He convinced me to start a one barrel brewing operation where we could offer experimental beers and he had the freedom to think outside the box and create some off-the-wall recipes. I gave him a budget of less than $20,000 to build out the brewery and it started out as a one Barrel Brewing system and at the time we couldn’t even afford glycol jacketed tanks, so Adam who is the master of jury rigged engineering had us purchase four freezers from Lowe’s and converted them to refrigerators and we would pour directly off the bright tanks in the cooler and that was the beginning of the Brewing scene and from there we expanded into a three barrel brewery operation with glycol jacketed tanks and then came along Erin, James who won a gold medal at the Colorado Beer Festival for his Milk & Cookies Stout and then Brian. C+ has provided a blank canvas for those brewers, Adam , Erin and James would go on to open up their own Brewpub and breweries, C+ has connected us in so many ways!

Growing up, I never wanted to own a business in this industry. But it’s funny how things come full circle and you reflect on all the people in your past and how their influence rubbed off on you. As we approach our final days in business, this special person happened to stop by the other day. This is my uncle Jay who just turned 94 years old and happened to drive up in his new Mini Cooper just the other day. I used to work for him and my auntie when I was 15 years old at their restaurant the Mongolian barbecue in downtown Denver right off of 16th and Champa right across the street from a Woolworth. I remember the smell of the grease in the freight elevator where we would have to take the trash. Because it was an underground food court I remember having to walk across the hallway to cut vegetables in the old Hobart slicer. I remember having to make emergency runs to Sakura square to buy produce if we were running low. At that time, the minimum wage was $3.65 an hour and the bus ride to downtown $.35. They would eventually expand and open up a location in Boulder at that time I was 17 and I would drive up to Boulder a few times a week. They instilled in me the spirit of adventure. They taught me a lot about the value of hard work, courtesy, responsibility and that hospitality is in the blood, I owe so much of my influence to them

With this being our last month in operation I am always reminded that owning a Brewpub, restaurant or any kind of hospitality business has so many dynamic layers to it. You run a business to offer the neighborhood something someplace that the neighborhood needs and on the other hand it becomes deeper than that and you become fully immersed in the idea of growing with the neighborhood and in turn being involved in the idea of growing this thing together with your staff. Sometimes there is no foundational groundwork for it. There is nothing written in paper, no formal plan. When you work together, people input ideas and then all of a sudden you see this vision morphing into something larger with a larger reach than the immediate neighborhood and then it becomes contagious to neighboring suburbs and you have individuals that come on board who are really special to the development of the concept and individuals who share their passion, we’ve been very lucky to have had a good number of individuals like that, I am forever grateful to all of my staff past and present, but most of all I’ve been very lucky to have this one very special person, my lifelong friend and partner: Jae. She is the one person who has been behind the scenes doing all the back office stuff and lately a lot of you have seen her helping out in the front. She is the one person that deserves a tremendous amount of credit in believing in the concept and giving Colorado Plus this opportunity to have grown together with this neighborhood and the community
I am always reminded that no matter how long you’re in business for, fail or succeed I am always grateful to have had the opportunity and always grateful for people that believe in us

New for this month is the hand panko breaded Chicken Katsu sandwich

The build: panko breaded and fried chicken, pickle chips, shredded cabbage, mayo and teriyaki sauce

This sandwich has layers of delicate crispy and tender textures with a touch of salty sweetness!

Our hand cut fries are the perfect pairing for any burger!

Shown here is the Blue Heaven Burger: it’s been a hit with burger lovers. It has sautéed mushrooms mixed in with caramelized onions, blue cheese crumbles, garlic mayo on both the top and bottom bottom, and it features the same Gold Canyon Angus upper 2/3 (for better marbling) choice chuck!

04/07/2026

The Savory Gravy Burger shares the spotlight for this month’s rotating Burger special

It features: USDA choice upper 2/3 (for better marbling) Angus Chuck, a smear of garlic mayo on the bottom bun, caramelized onion for a touch of sweetness, topped with mushroom bacon parmesan cream gravy, no doubt this burger is a savory one!

As we get ready for the final 2 months, our brewer Brian is kegging up his last batch of 38th Ave Lt Lager. He has done a great job throughout the years of dialing in this 3 barrel system with a mark of consistency that you all come to expect from the beers he produces here at Colorado Plus. He has indeed been busy brewing the last couple years after the reopen, and since we have dialed down from 56 to 20 draft options with 6 to 8 being the ones that he’s brewed in house, it has been almost a 50-50 split between guest and house beers. he’s been brewing for us for the past six years as well as raising his precious little one and working at Craig Hospital as a physical therapist.
We’re gonna miss seeing him in the building quietly going about his business, most of all we’re gonna miss that quirky quiet sense of humor that defines his personality

Larry (our slicer) has worked hard throughout the years and has cut thousands of potatoes. Larry is one of the reasons why our hand cut chips are so good!
Also, one of the reasons why people are torn between our hand cut fries or the chips! Always consistently sliced thin and delicate.

Larry is dedicated to put in the work all the way through, to the end!

Photo from 2012: The beginning, during the construction remodel of the old Valente’s the original founding members dubbed the Foamsome Foursome by WR Gazette

The founding principle of Colorado Plus when the idea first hit before 2012, partner with local breweries and serve only local beers on tap, including our own. The concept has changed throughout the years and we started allowing out of state beers, but we never wavered from offering the best that craft brewing had to offer.

As I reflect, I am always reminded and forever enamoured by the good nature of people in general. I will always be grateful to have had the opportunity to have learned and to have taught the value of hard work and the value of generosity. As I further reflect on the history of Colorado Plus, I have to feel lucky that we were able to make it this far because in the beginning, it was blind ambition that got us this far. We had multiple partners, the first 2 years was tumultuous times, but I learned a great lesson and I am always reminded that I am in business for the people that walk through the doors and I am always thankful for the beginning and how it’s expanded my awareness of hospitality.

But no matter the passion and the love for people and the industry, times change and with changing times come changing trends and being able to adapt to the changes can be challenging and there comes a time when one has to take a deep breath and step back and through deep contemplation ask the question of how long do we continue this path, it takes a lot of re evaluation and resource input to make significant changes and after the closure of Falling Rock Tap House in downtown Denver years ago, the writing was on the wall, the industry has been changing since the post covid era and with that the vision of having a brewpub and a taphouse has changed, signaling the signs of the times, we figured this was and is the time for us to come to the realization that we need to step back and away from the industry we have loved for so long.

That all being said, this message serves as a goodbye and a thank you. We will be closing our doors on May 30th, that will be our last day of operations.
