Launch Pad Brewery in Bennett, Colorado, lifted off in 2014 after a spontaneous pumpkin‑beer experiment at a party. The brainchildren—seasoned brewer David Levesque and his long‑time mate Henry Rusch—decided to turn that accidental hit into a full‑time operation, and the result is a taproom where aviation nostalgia and serious brewing skill share the runway.
The brewery’s Small Batch Series showcases a rotating roster of styles that feel as daring as a test flight, while their Beer and Cheese Pairings prove that even the most sophisticated palate can have a good time. Specialty drinks like hop water sit alongside a solid lineup of ales and lagers, all poured with meticulous attention to detail (the crew treats each hop like a pilot checks his instruments).
Patrons can sprawl across high‑tops or sink into the lounge, while a handful of TVs keep the sporting world in view. The staff’s friendliness matches the quality of the brews, making the whole experience feel less like a lecture on fermentation and more like a casual chat over a perfectly balanced pint. It’s a place where tradition meets imagination, and the result is, frankly, delicious.
