Now Arriving at Denver International Airport - New Belgium Brewing in Concourse B

Great beer, locally inspired seasonal cuisine plus shuffleboard to greet travelers!

(FORT COLLINS) New Belgium Brewing is excited to announce the opening of its new bar and restaurant

located in Concourse B at Denver International Airport. This newly built space features a 125-seat venue

with a full bar and kitchen giving travelers the chance to experience the look, feel and world-class beer

of Colorado’s largest independent brewery without leaving the airport.

“We’re excited to give thirsty travelers the chance to experience the independent Colorado beer scene

inside the airport, whether it be a first taste upon arrival or a departing cheers,” said Leah Pilcer, New

Belgium’s Director of Retail Development & Operations. “New Belgium is synonymous with Colorado

and we’ve made it a point to create a fun atmosphere that embodies a sense of place while showing off

our local pride.”

Guests can enjoy draft pours from a 20-handle tap system anchored by Fat Tire Amber Ale, Voodoo

Ranger IPA, and many of the 100% employee-owned brewery’s 15 year-round offerings. Seasonal and

limited releases as well as New Belgium’s award-winning wood cellar beers will rotate in throughout the

year. Visitors can delight in finding first-to-market beers and rare one-offs as well as beer-centric

cocktails.

Complementing the tap offerings is a menu created by Paul C. Reilly, executive chef and proprietor of

beast+bottle, Coperta and Pizzeria Coperta. Catering to traditionalist and culinary adventurers, Reilly’s

menu at this location consists of antibiotic-free proteins and fresh local produce while utilizing local

ingredients, purveyors, and distillers including: Aspen Ridge Natural Beef, Haystack Mountain Cheese,

Tender Belly meats, and Leopold Brothers to engrain a hand-made, Colorado vibe.

“Relentlessly local American food is the best way to describe the menu, which will change seasonally,”

said Reilly. “This has been such a fun project working with New Belgium, an iconic Colorado company,

and incorporating their unwavering commitment to quality into everything we serve. We’re proud to

showcase not only New Belgium beer, but the food and spirits of over 20 Colorado purveyors.”

Guests can start their early commute with the 5280 Burrito highlighting Morning Fresh Farm eggs,

housemade tomatillo salsa, housemade habanero sausage, and local Raquelitas’ flour tortillas paired

alongside the Fix-A-Flat beer cocktail featuring Fat Tire Amber Ale, mezcal, housemade bloody mary mix,

pickled veggies, and a tajin chili salted rim. Many of New Belgium’s beers are incorporated in dishes such

as the 1554 BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich, Fat Tire Chicken Sandwich with housemade guacamole, and

even a vegetarian option in the Voodoo Ranger Grilled Cheese.

The nearly 4,500-square-foot dining oasis serves food all day and accommodates all palates including

vegetarian, low calorie, and vegan options. A full bar featuring beer, wine and spirits is highlighted by a

vibrant, bright design aesthetic. Light wood, slate and charcoal finishes, pops of bright red, and accents

of gold create a retreat for travelers. For sports fans, state-of-the-art digital technology, including a

“jumbotron” array at the bar, and custom branded shuffleboards which make for perfect ways to pass

time during a layover.

For travelers with little time on their hands, a Grab & Go section offers a quick meal before dashing off

to the gate. New Belgium also offers a selection of branded merchandise, such as brewery t-shirts, hats

and globe glasses, perfect take-home gifts for travelers on the go.

This new concept is a partnership between New Belgium Brewing and High Flying Foods, a boutique,

family-owned and operated company based out of Sausalito, California redefining the art of airport

dining.

“We couldn’t think of a better partner than New Belgium Brewing for our first project in the Denver

International Airport,” said Kevin Westlye, President of High Flying Foods. “Our shared values melded to

create this culinary respite providing an amazing taste of Colorado’s beer and food scene, and we

couldn’t be more proud to showcase so many thoughtful flavors in one location.”

About Paul C. Reilly

Drawing from his upbringing in New York’s lush Hudson Valley, Paul is committed to sourcing only the

highest quality ingredients. Realizing the depth of his culinary passion while attending CU Boulder, he

subsequently moved to Telluride, where he worked at award-winning restaurants Allred’s and 221 South

Oak. Wanting to hone his skills even further, Paul returned to New York to attend the esteemed French

Culinary Institute for formal culinary training. In 2004, Paul moved back to Denver to help open the

acclaimed Mirepoix, followed by a move to Executive Chef/Owner of Encore on Colfax, a longtime

Denver favorite.

Following Encore’s closure in 2012, Paul won the prestigious Jean-Louis Palladin Professional

Work/Study Grant, issued to just eight chefs from around the world, and apprenticed at Browne Trading

Company in Portland, Maine.

In 2013, Paul and Aileen opened beast + bottle, a rustic American craft restaurant centered on local,

farm-focused food. In summer 2016, they opened Coperta, a restaurant and bar celebrating the culinary

traditions and food of Rome and Southern Italy, in Denver's Uptown neighborhood. Since opening, both

beast + bottle and Coperta have earned multiple accolades, inclusions on “best restaurant” lists and

nods to each restaurant’s well-rounded beverage programs.

In February 2019, Paul and team opened Pizzeria Coperta in Denver’s new Broadway Market, offering al

taglio and Roman-style pizza. At each of his restaurants, Paul’s constantly evolving menus highlight the

creative use of whole animals and ingredients from the more than twenty local farmers and purveyors

with whom the Reillys have partnered.
