Denver brewery forced to close indefinitely after car crashes into building

Denver’s Dos Luces Brewery is closed until further notice after a car crashed into its space at 1236 S. Broadway.

The brewery, known for creating Mexican and South American beverages such as pulque and chicha, said on social media that no staff members were at the building when a car crashed into it Tuesday morning.

According to Denver police, officers responded to the incident at 8 a.m. A female driver clipped another vehicle while trying to change lanes and lost control of her car before crashing into the building. No serious injuries were reported, police said.

Judd Belstock, owner and founder of Dos Luces, was first alerted that there had been an incident when the business’ alarm went off around 8 a.m. Shortly thereafter, a longtime patron who lives nearby texted him to say there was a crash and it “looked like there was a hole in the front” of the brewery, he said.
