DENVER — Denver Beer Co. today announced the release of Love This City, an American Pilsner, to be offered as a new year-round beer in both cans and draft. Created in collaboration with Denver visual artist Pat Milbery, Love This City features Milbery’s iconic street art on the cans and represents a shared love for the vibrancy and positivity of the city of Denver.
Milbery’s “Love This City” mural art, which has become a symbol of the Mile High City, can be found in almost every neighborhood throughout the city. His iconic hearts represent the many layers of love and the City of Denver’s loving energy for those who call it home. As he watched Denver grow and change over the years, Milbery was inspired to capture the magic of the city, its positive vibes, and the energy it creates for asll its diverse inhabitants. Milbery’s “Love This City” hearts are a manifestation of the loving energy he has for Denver, and serve as a reminder to love and appreciate Denver as a unique and beautiful place.
“Like Milbery’s murals, which serve as a connection between our neighborhoods and communities, we hope this beer creates connections for people amongst their communities, friends, and families,” shared Denver Beer Co co-founder Patrick Crawford. “This beer truly represents a collaborative artistic experience between our brewers and Pat. It was brewed with the intention to fill your heart with love.”
“In the same way that you can’t predict where love will take you, you don’t know what road these murals, or your city, or this beer will take you either,” stated Pat Milbery. “It’s just fun to leave it out there as an open-ended reminder to love yourself, love your neighbor, love this city. My hope is that people will smile, have fun, and come together through commonality and common energy of love. That is my intention with my art and I believe this intent will hold true with this beer as well.”
Love This City is an American Pilsner characterized as crisp and refreshing with a light floral and fruity hop character. Love This City is available in grocery stores and liquor stores throughout Colorado and Wyoming, as well as on tap at select bars and restaurants in Colorado, and Denver Beer Co. taprooms. Denver Beer Co and Pat Milbery will celebrate Love This City’s release on 303 Day (March 3) with Milbery painting a new mural at Denver Beer Co’s Platte Street location.
Denver Beer Co was founded in 2011 and has three breweries including a taproom and beer garden on Platte Street in downtown Denver, a taproom and brewery in Olde Town Arvada, and a production brewery, Canworks, in Denver’s Sunnyside neighborhood which focuses primarily on the brewing, canning, and kegging of beer for distribution.
