Gravity Brewing

What Gravity Brewing does

Gravity Brewing is a craft brewery and tasting room operation headquartered at 1150 Pine Street in Historic Downtown Louisville, Colorado. Founded by John Frazee — an engineering graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder — alongside Managing Partner Ryan Bowers, the company is owned and operated by registered professional engineers and brewing industry professionals who apply a science- and engineering-driven methodology to brewing ales and lagers. Head Brewer Scott Smith brings prior production experience from Thorn Brewing, Thorn Street Brewery, Green Flash/Alpine Beer, and Ballast Point's Home Brew Mart, lending a credible craft pedigree to the brewing program.

The core product is a rotating lineup of award-winning craft ales and lagers (including seasonal offerings such as Golden Mosaic, Cerveza Espacial, and Olde Gravitatem), distributed across multiple packaging formats — 32oz and 64oz growlers, 750ml bottles, 32oz Crowlers, 12oz 6-pack cans, 16oz 4-pack cans, and kegs. The company sells directly to consumers through its on-site tasting room (with a large outdoor bier garten), a Square-powered online store for home delivery, and branded merchandise (Gravity Gear). Double D's Sourdough Pizzeria operates as an on-site food partner, extending the on-premise value proposition.

Revenue is generated across four streams: tasting room on-premise sales by the glass, off-premise packaged beer sales (both on-site and online), branded merchandise sales, and wholesale distribution to bars, restaurants, and retail accounts across Colorado — a channel formalized through the April 2023 hire and subsequent promotion of Wholesale Sales Manager C.K. Lichenstein. The company is a privately held Colorado LLC with 1–10 employees, no external funding, and no disclosed revenue.
