The southern suburbs were clearly thirsty for craft beer when Grist Brewing opened earlier this month in Highlands Ranch. Founded by organic chemist Rob Kevwitch, Grist is the first independently-owned craft brewery in Highlands Ranch — and the first in a wave of brewery openings scheduled over the next few months in Centennial, Littleton and Parker as well as the Ranch. Since Denver is already awash in craft beer, don’t suburb-dwellers deserve good brews, too?

But that beer comes with a price: major mockery of the brewery’s home town.

Says Charlie Whiskey:
Cool, so the local drunks there are dudes who sit on their barstools and ramble on about how much of a bigshot they are in their cul-de-sac? AWESOME!
