Our Brewery
Dreamed up in a snow cat and brewed at 8,888 feet with mountain snowmelt, Irwin Brewing honors the 1880s mining town we’re named for with fresh, balanced beer made for life in the high country.
We value our customers’ trust to provide fresh, drinkable beer. We have collaborated to create a simple process for ordering, delivery and billing.
