Teamwork Makes the Dream Work - if the Beer Tastes Great! Josh & Angie Grenz, Owners of Verboten Brewing and Barrel Project in Loveland, and Verboten North Brewpub in Fort Collins.
I met Josh and Angie Grenz in the early months of their opening their first Verboten location in a quiet industrial park in Loveland, and Angie actually came to the very first organizational meeting for the first LoCo Think Tank chapter - before I had come up with the name! She didn’t join, and hasn’t yet - but I remain hopeful. We’ve stayed in touch over the years, and reconnected more properly last year when they opened their second location in what had been Black Bottle Brewery in Fort Collins - which closed the fall before.
Verboten means forbidden in German, and their selection of beers mostly has one thing in common - they use ingredients that would have been forbidden under historic German purity laws - which basically means you can have lager and you will love it! Sours and Porters and Wine-Barrel aged Stouts and you name it - they’ve done it - and probably won a prestigious medal for it! Josh and Angie eventually moved to a great downtown location in Loveland, and the Verboten North is at the corner of Prospect and College in Fort Collins.
This is a journey of starting small, focusing on the product and the people, and growing into a regional brand. In an industry that has experienced decline in recent years, Verboten continues to grow - and it’s due to hard work and smart decisions by Josh and Angie and their dedicated teams. So please enjoy, as I did - my conversation with Josh and Angie Grenz.
