Jazzy brewery opens in Five Points

Strike up the band in Five Points.

Former Great Divide brewers Austin Wiley, Darren Boyd and Taylor Rees opened jazz-themed Spangalang Brewery last week in Five Points. The idea has been brewing for about a year, Boyd said, and started to gel once Spangalang’s bit of Welton Street real estate hit the market in 2014.

“Austin and Taylor daydreamed in the past about if they had a brewery in Denver, where would it be, and Welton Street was always the top of the list,” Boyd said. “When I heard about this property, that was one of the things that really spurred us forward.”
