Coda Brewing Company

Coda Brewing Company is a craft brewery at 15965 S Golden Rd in Golden, Colorado. Founder Luke Smith, a former yeast microbiologist, designs each beer with its own water profile and yeast strain. The taproom pours hazy and West Coast IPAs, pilsners, lagers, fruit beers, sours, stouts and a non-alcoholic kombucha, and experimental small-batch kegs often rotate in.

Music is part of the concept: the brewery pairs beers with musicians and holds live performances in the taproom. Well-behaved leashed dogs are welcome, with water bowls outside. Coda hosts private events and works with food trucks, and it has won medals at the Great American Beer Festival, the Colorado State Fair and the World Beer Cup.
