Family-owned Windsor brewery brings back fan-favorite beers to liquor store shelves statewide
WINDSOR, Colo. (October 2, 2025) — High Hops Brewery is raising a glass to independence once again. The Windsor-based, family-owned brewery has officially purchased back its distribution rights and is now self-distributing its beers throughout Colorado’s Front Range. The move allows High Hops to directly manage how and where its award-winning craft brews reach customers—ensuring beer lovers across Northern Colorado and beyond can once again find their favorites on local shelves.
“Getting back into the market on our own terms is huge for us,” said Zach Weakland, Head Brewer. “We’ve always brewed with passion and creativity, and now we can make sure our fans have better access to the beers they love.”

Beer enthusiasts can look forward to finding High Hops’ signature and seasonal offerings at liquor stores across Northern Colorado, including:
- The Cold One – Colorado craft lager
- Blueberry Wheat – fan-favorite best-seller

- The Golden One – Pilsen-based ale brewed with lemon verbena and spices
- Pinkalicious – raspberry kettle sour
- The Dark One – milk stout with rich depth
- Habanero Hunny – red ale with peppers
High Hops will also continue to roll out small-batch and limited-edition creations, such as One Knight Stand (a barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout), Cookie Porter (a chocolate and vanilla porter), and Chaotic Newtral (a tangerine-forward fusion of New England IPA and Gose).
