Denver’s Mockery Brewing will close after 9 years in River North

Mockery Brewing, which helped solidify the River North Art District as a brewery-focused neighborhood when it opened in 2014, said Monday that it will close its doors.

“We did it! We reached the finish line! After 9 solid years of slinging awesome beers and sharing our little corner of Denver with thousands of amazing people, we have decided to raise our arms in victory and ride off into the sunset,” the brewery, at 3501 Delgany St., posted on Facebook.

“We will be celebrating everything that has been Mockery over the next month and wrapping it all up with a farewell party on Saturday, August 12. Please come out and enjoy one last beer with us and let us toast some of the best friends a brewery could ask for!”

Mockery was founded by Zach and Rachel Rabun when RiNo already had five breweries, but rather than opening in the area that extended along Market and Larimer streets from LoDo, whey picked a spot in the then-nearly empty stretch of Brighton Boulevard.

When Mockery Brewing opened in 2014, the area was filled with warehouses and had little attraction. But Rino quickly became the center of the city's beer scene with some of the biggest breweries in Colorado setting up shop in the neighborhood. (AAron Ontiveroz, The Denver Post)

Their goal at the time was to brew half of their beers in adherence to the 15th century Bavarian beer purity law, Reinheitsgebot, which forbade brewers from using anything but water, barley and hops in their recipes. The other half of the brewery’s beer would make “a mockery” of the law by using fruits and spices and other flavors and ingredients.
