The Production Engine Behind Great Brands

Paramount BeerWerks is an independent, production-focused brewery located in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Our 20-barrel brewhouse is built for reliable commercial production, including contract brewing, private-label programs, and recipe development.

Paramount also developed and brews the flagship beer lineup served at The Werks. That ongoing house beer program demonstrates the scheduling discipline, consistency, and quality control we bring to every production partnership.
