Holidaily Brewing Company, Colorado’s dedicated gluten-free brewery, will celebrate their new production brewery on May 4th and 5th with a ribbon cutting and sneak peak tours.
Across the street from their current taproom in Golden, the new facility is the largest dedicated gluten- free production brewery in the U.S. Initially Holidaily will triple their brewing capacity in this 10,000 square foot facility.
State-of-the-art equipment will allow Holidaily to brew more efficiently, both in terms of brew time and amount of grain needed.
“The new brewery is designed around a mash press, which is the Cadillac of brewing systems,” said Alan Windhausen, Head Brewer at Holidaily. “These systems have revolutionized brewing as a whole, and will have even greater benefits for Holidaily, as it will make it easier to brew with notoriously difficult gluten- free malts.”
All of the beer produced by Holidaily is certified gluten-free by the Gluten Intolerance Group and is safe for gluten sensitive or Celiac consumers to drink.
“The mission of this company is built around getting great-tasting, gluten-free beer in the hands of those who typically can’t drink beer due to certain dietary restrictions.” said Karen Hertz, Founder of Holidaily. “This facility will allow us to meet a growing demand. We’re excited by the opportunity to distribute our beer to all of Colorado, and potentially beyond.”

Up until now, Holidaily self-distributed their beer to over 300 accounts throughout Colorado including stadiums and grocery stores. With the opening of the new facility, Holidaily has signed on various distributors throughout Colorado, Coors Distributing Company who has the largest share of the beer category in the Denver market. This will allow Holidaily to sell to more retailers, bars, restaurants and even other breweries.
Holidaily Brewing (holidailybrewing.com) opened in Golden in 2016 and is the passion project of Karen Hertz, who survived both melanoma and thyroid cancer, leading to a treatment regimen including a gluten-free diet.
Hertz struggled to find a great tasting, 100% gluten-free beer and was driven to solve this problem. After years of research and testing, Holidaily Brewing Company was born.
“I never could have imagined the success that we’ve seen in just three years” said Hertz. “We’re celebrating how far we’ve come but it’s safe to say that we’re just getting started.”
