Built for Better Brewing

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 BeerWerks also developed, brews, and wholesales the house beer lineup served at The Werks Colorado, a separately owned and operated licensed wholesale customer. That recurring program demonstrates the scheduling discipline, consistency, and quality control we bring to every customer project.
