Red Leg Brewing Company

What Red Leg Brewing Company does

Red Leg Brewing Company is a veteran-owned production brewery and hospitality destination headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, founded on July 4, 2013 by Army veteran Todd Baldwin. The company operates a single 2.5-acre facility at 2323 Garden of the Gods Road, marketed as the gateway to Garden of the Gods Park, comprising a 4,000-square-foot taproom, a rooftop deck with Pikes Peak views, an expansive lawn and beer garden, three private event spaces accommodating 50 to 400 guests, and permanent on-site food vendor operations. Approximately 50 employees support the integrated brewery, taproom, self-distribution, events, and tenant business mix. Core production is craft beer across multiple styles (IPAs, stouts, lagers, hefeweizen, amber ales, sours, wheat beers, and seasonal specialties), brewed on-site using traditional and innovative methods, with a full-service bar offering ciders, wine, kombucha, and non-alcoholic options.

The business operates across multiple revenue streams: direct-to-consumer taproom sales and beer-to-go (6-packs, crowlers, growlers), self-distributed wholesale kegs and packaged beer to restaurants, bars, and liquor stores across the Pikes Peak Region, private event venue rentals, branded merchandise via WooCommerce e-commerce, tenant business rentals from on-site food vendors, and a paid business consulting offering by the founder. Pricing varies by product and service: kegs range from $55-$250, consulting is $250-$750 per session, and merchandise spans $4-$70. GTM is multi-channel: direct-to-consumer at the taproom, channel partnerships through self-distribution, event-driven acquisition via live music, trivia, line dancing, Makers Markets, and Craft for a Cause charity events, and community-led positioning through the founder's consulting and veteran-owned narrative. The company is privately held, bootstrapped without institutional investment, and operates as a multi-million dollar business with no public revenue disclosure.
