Origin of The Dean West:

In early 2019, the vision for The Dean West began when the owners of The Dean Public House in Hot Sulphur Springs were invited to participate in a groundbreaking concept — combining a restaurant, bar, brewery, and distillery under one roof. In May of 2019, The Dean West, Grand Adventure Brewery (GAB), and Blue Valley Sprints (now Idlewild Distillery) joined forces, creating Colorado’s first Brewstillery.

The Dean West, as the cornerstone and anchor of this unique venture, offers 18+ beer taps, a temperature-controlled barrel-aged cask room, a full bar featuring specialty cocktails in collaboration with Idlewild Distillery, and licensing for limited bottle/can sales for both GAB and Idlewild.

Historical Significance:

Steeped in local history, The Dean West building served as the Dan Hoare blacksmith's location in the early 20th century. Since the 1960s, it has evolved into a restaurant and bar, gaining steadfast support from the community and outlying ranches. Positioned along Hwy 40, The Dean West benefits from consistent tourist traffic, remaining busy throughout the year.

Resilience Through Challenges:

Dean West's enduring success stems from its adaptive business model, remaining very profitable through changing times, including the challenges posed by Covid-19. Through a commitment to quality products, comprehensive indoor and outdoor service, a team-oriented approach to staff management, and collaboration with local adventure outfitters, The Dean West has not only retained loyal local support but also gained popularity among tourists. Today, it stands as a testament to resilience, community engagement, and a dedication to excellence in hospitality.
