Peculier Ales, which quickly made a name for itself in northern Colorado s brewing scene since opening last year in the town of Windsor, will add a second brewery and taproom this summer, taking over the vacant, 5,000-square-foot former C.B. & Potts location at 1831 East Mulberry Street in Fort Collins.
This is the second C.B. & Potts location to be repurposed by another brewery. The well-known restaurant and brewery chain, which got its start in Fort Collins in 1974, closed its Greenwood Village location in 2019; Denver chef Troy Guard bought the building, which he s turning into a high-concept food hall that will include the just-announced Little Dry Creek Brewery. Four more C.B. & Potts addresses closed in 2020 as a result of the pandemic; there s just one left, which is still open under new ownership.
Denver s latest brewery isn t coming from a brewer. It s coming from a chef. Troy Guard, the restaurateur and businessman behind TAG (which will close mid-month after twelve years in Larimer Square), BuBu, Los Chingones, Guard and Grace, and a host of other familiar Denver concepts, will open Little Dry Creek Brewery inside Grange Hall, the new food hall he s creating in Greenwood Village at 6575 South Greenwood Plaza Boulevard.
Featuring a fifteen-barrel brewing system and twelve to eighteen taps, Little Dry Creek will sit alongside ten other vendors offering everything from sushi, pizza and barbecue to coffee, ice cream and fried chicken as one of the anchors of the 12,000-square-foot project, which is expected to open in August. It takes its name from nearby Little Dry Creek, a short tributary of the South Platte River.
Oil spill response
Q: I ve been reading news reports about the recent oil spills in the San Francisco Bay Area and learned that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is the lead state agency handling oil spills. How did the department assume this authority? (Dave)
A: CDFW’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) was established by the Lempert-Keene-Seastrand Oil Spill Prevention and Response Act of 1990. The legislation came on the heels of two major spills, the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, in which 11 million gallons of crude oil was released, and the American Trader spill in Orange County in 1990 that resulted in a release of 416,598 gallons of crude oil.
