Brew Pub & Kitchen opened in March 2013 by Head Brewer Erik Maxson and his wife Lainie. After many
years of working for other restaurants in Durango they decided to create their own place with a locally
sourced menu and artisanal beers. The brews are lovingly crafted by Erik and often feature unique
ingredients, like yarrow grown in the Maxson’s front yard. With items like the local beet and goat cheese
salad, the menu is diverse and rather different from most brew pub fare. The menu also uses as much
locally sourced, grown and produced items as possible.
