Best friends Chris Fish, a brewmaster, and Tommy Thacher, a bartender-turned-teacher, bonded over skiing, rafting, music, and their shared dream of creating the perfect beer—a dream that became reality in 2011 when they teamed up with Brian Gavin and John Lehman to launch Telluride Brewing Company. Since pouring their first beer in 2012, the brewery has expanded four times, doubled production nearly every year, and earned national acclaim with multiple gold and bronze medals at the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup for favorites like Face Down Brown and Whacked Out Wheat. Using Rocky Mountain snowmelt, premium malts, and worthy hops, Telluride Brewing continues to craft award-winning beers distributed across Colorado, staying true to its local roots while Fish and Tommy keep chasing their vision of the perfect pint.
