Zach Rabun opened Mockery Brewing in Denver’s ubiquitous RiNO district long before it was cool. Most of you know that it's now become one of the best-known beer destination in the states.

After working at Coors and Denver area brewpubs, he set a concise theme for his brewery: 

First, take a detailed, educated look at traditional beer styles and rules. And then make a Mockery of them. 

This kind of contrarian thinking creates great art and great experiences for the consumer. But, as we hear on this show a lot, niches get stitches and there’s not an obvious pathway to profitability with this model. 

Zach is about to walk us though his craft beer story. Where his inspiration came from and how it felt to finally let his brewery go after fighting for it for years. And he’ll hint at what might be next. 

So plug in, zone out and get ready for the story of Denver’s late Mockery Brewing.
