Big Trout Brewing Company

Owners, Tom and Emily Caldwell, have been proud members of this amazing community since 2006 and are eager to give something back by way of delicious libations. We started working on a plan to start our own brewery in the spring of 2017, with the passion for brewing delicious beer, the desire to give something back to Grand County and provide for our growing family.

As we dove into the business plan and started tossing around names, Tom was walking into daycare with our daughter, who was 2 years old at the time, and asked “What do you think about Trout Brewery?” To this, our budding angler responded, without hesitation, “No daddy, BIG Trout Brewery.” And so, it was. We officially opened the brewery on June 12, 2020.
