On October 6th, 2011, in anticipation of the January Vail Big Beers fest, our brewmaster created a strong batch of American Barleywine. It fermented out as predicted and then embarked on two solid months of aging. On Sunday December 11th, we gathered ’round the tap room to sample the beer and watch the Broncos game. Solidly warm in our bellies after one or two, the name ideas began to flow. As the beers emptied, the minutes in the Bronco game waned, and a certain quarterback had launched another miraculous comeback. When the last three points registered on the scoreboard, our Ale Ambassador called out, with his arms spread wide….”TEBREW.” The Bonfire Barleywine had a name.
As we relished the simplicity of it, we thought about how beautifully the name resonated with all that Bonfire is about — community, camaraderie, beer, dogs, and goofy beer names. Demshitz. PINK-I. Stranger. And now TEBREW. A high-octane beer that gets better as you drink it down. Occasionally bringing you to a knee in appreciation. It’s only appropriate that this big beer was made in a small batch, and will disappear as quickly as a crowd when the game is over. But the fire will always burn here and the community will always have an odd beer name and a warm bar to rally around. Football will always broadcast on Sundays, and beer will always go great with it.
TEBREW is about celebrating victory, drowning the sorrow of loss, raising a glass and rooting for the home team. Join us in the only place TEBREW will ever pour — at our tap room in tiny Eagle, CO. Just make sure you bring a designated driver. Or a really smart dog.
Hi, I live in Chicago, I am a Gator and my husband is a die hard Broncos fan! We love Timmy!!!! How can I get this shipped??
Raechel, As you can see from the replies above — there’s a small quantity of the beer and we aren’t licensed to ship it outside of the state. Sorry!
Well, get licensed! We want Tebrew and you want money
. Be visionary and take out a loan; I’m seeing Bonfire Brewing ads during the superbowl!
Enjoy………We are just sad that we are in the east coast and can not partake or order some. ;-(
If it does go on sale let me know.

As you may notice from my email address….the “07″ is in respect for Elway. Living in Packer country in WI all I hear is Aaron Rodgers. I need a little Mile High in my life. What are the chances of getting the Tebrew Sunday Sipper shipped to my home in WI. I would love to serve that at the Broncos vs. Packers superbowl!
Thanks, and good luck with your brew!
Doug
Your Super Bowl party would need to be at our place!
First thing first, you have the words here blending with the background pretty bad. I couldn’t see the words: name, email, website, comment very easily. Also, is there any way I can order this beer from you? I would really really like some as I am a huge huge huge Tebow fan and when I heard of this beer (complements of the Dan Patrick Show) I had to get some. So please is there any way I can get some from you guys? Thank you and I know it’ll taste good since, well you know, it’s Tebrew!
Sorry about the text Danny — we’ll get the Dominatrix of Design on that ASAP. As you can see above, we’d love to send the beer out to other states but we don’t have the license to do so, or the capacity to meet all the demand outside of our tiny little town. We hope to get there someday!
I live in Washington, DC. How can I order some TEBREW?
James — unfortunately, it’s only available at our tap room in Eagle for now. Hope you can make a visit to Colorado sometime soon. Cheers!
Why can’t it be shipped to other states, I know a lot of people that would love to try it!
We’d love to ship it too — the major hangup is that we produce very small batches and are only licensed to distribute in Colorado. We would need a wholesalers license in each state we want to distribute in…someday!
Who is the “Ale Ambassador” ? Wow, you guys are now getting national publicity…ever so cool

I live in Durango, CO. Can it be shipped here?
Not yet!
Can you ship Tebrew to Thornton, CO?
Thanks
Just being served by the 10oz glass in Eagle for now.
When will the Glasses be on sale and will those be able to be purchased online?
Glasses available for order now, shipping 12.29.11. tebrew.com.
Hey,
I am from South Dakota, and I am a hugggeee Tebow fan!!!! Did
I read it right that there will be glasses with Tebow holding a beer?
Thanks, AMY
Yes – glasses are available to order now, shipping on 12.29.11.
Hey Bonfire!
So I’ve been reading the posts and most everything says you guys just don’t ship out of state. Do you ship at all in state? I know there’s only a limited amount, hence why I want to get my hands on some, but I live about 3 hours away from the brewery. Hope you can! Thanks for crafting the best comeback beer of all time! I just hope it doesn’t also raise my blood pressure…
If we had the ability to produce much, much, more…and the ability to package it, we could distribute in state…folks in Colorado are probably the closest to being able to get this in bottle form, but since the beer takes several months to age properly, it’s still a ways out. Stay tuned.
I read above that you can’t ship outside of the state, but how about in state? I live about two hours from yall and I was just wondering whether I also would need to drive over to get it or whether I need to make an advance order to come pick it up and how much and all of that good information?
Thanks
Just available by the glass at our place for now…
How long do we need to occupy Bonfire Brewhouse to get Tebrew in Denver??
Ha! Brilliant.
Whoever your Ale Ambassador is, they deserve a huge raise or more stake in the company because this has put your brewery on the map. I love the concept and the publicity you are recieving all over the country is huge. I am in Washington State and loving to try some. I fear though by the time I make a trip to Eagle, this will be long gone and I would have missed my chance. Funny thing is I used to hate Tebow (from Louisiana so a huge LSU fan and Gator hater) but I have to admit, you got to love the kid. Keep the good ideas rolling and hopefully one of these days, you can grow your operation at least to Washington (for selfish reasons).
How about giving some of the Tebrew money that you made to charity – that would really be honoring Tebow the best way you can!
When will it be on available at liquor stores or bars?
Hard to say, but we hope we can bring all our beers to everyone that wants them in the next 2-3 years.
Please let us locals know if it ever becomes available in bottle form, we would love to have some. You are not close enough to enjoy dining/drinking out every evening but close enough to enjoy occasionally. Good luck, you will be overwhelmed with requests!!!
Are there any plans to ever bottle and sell Tebrew? My husband and I are both Gator and Bronco fans, but live in extreme rural Illinois. He’s a die hard Tebow fan, and I would love to be able to add some of this to the mancave for him!
We’d love it if you could too! Packaging and distribution are a ways out for us, but we believe it will happen eventually. Stay tuned!
If we come there, can we buy some (alot) to take back to Iowa with us??
It’s only available by the 10oz glass, and only at our brewery.
Do you ship in state?
Kind of…but we only have kegs right now and are self-distributed which really just limits us to the local area.
Is there a way to have it shipped in Colorado? We live in Parker, and would love to enjoy some at the Stadium this weekend!
Just available at the brewery, and only by the glass.
Are you guys gonna be serving it up on Sunday for the Pats-Bronco game? Or is it all gone?
All’s fair in brewing and football. I relish any hot dog that steals the spotlight like Tebow. But I hope your exploitation doesn’t fall flat!

As I understand you guys cant ship Tebrew but would it be possible to buy a Tebrew tap handle for my personal kegerator….
Thank you

We’ve got stickers, but our tap handles are all the same and are handmade by Andy’s mom in upstate NY!
Get a license and start shipping tebrew!
If you can’t ship the beer… how about some TEBREW T-shirts?
Done! tebrew.com.
Is this sold downtown Denver anywhere you can tell me of?
No, just here in Eagle by the glass Keith.

Love the name, TEBREW!
My dad is a lifelong Broncos fan dating back to the Craig Morton and Steve DeBerg days.
I like the hometown love you guys are showing.
We live in Colorado Springs any chance we can get a six pack down here?
Just available by the glass at the brewery for now!
Get the license to ship out of state! So many gator fans would order it. I know i will!! Can you at least send be an emty bottle for my gator gear collection?? Email me if you need the addy. Thanks!! Go Gators!! Go Tebrew!!!
We don’t have any bottles with the logo on it, but we have produced t-shirts, stickers, and glasses — available through tebrew.com.

My partner is a die hard Broncos fan and her Tebow jersey is worn loud and proud every game. She would flip if I could hook her up with some tasty Tebrew
We will be in Vail in Feb with friends do you anticipate to have it locally at that time? I see it is for the Big Beer Fest so if there is any left lol I was curious where I can pick some up.
Many thanks and keep on brewing!
February might be a stretch, but we’ll see. If we still have some, it will be by the glass at our tap room — cheers.
Great idea. Go Broncos…
Do you ship within the state?
Sort of…but we really only make enough to supply Eagle County at the moment. Bigger and better things are ahead, for sure!
If you could sell the beer here, I would buy a bunch. If Tebow continues to win, it might be a very nice ride, if you can find distributors…..Oregon has a huge number of micro-brews, so finding a local distributor might not be too hard…..now to gear up the brewery!
Yep – there are three major issues: 1) need packaging capability 2) need to have the ability to make a lot more beer, and 3) need to get hooked up with distributors in other states. All issues that can be overcome with time!
I live in Thornton, CO and would love to be able to get some! How much is available left to buy? Is it possible to put some on hold to come and get? Can it be shipped to my house? Would love to be able to get some!
The supply is holding up pretty well with it only being available at the tap room by the 10 oz. glass. We anticipate it lasting into January.
Too bad we can’t get the brew in Denver… Looks like a trip to Eagle is in my very near future! Any plans to etch the logo in glasses or silkscreen our man on some of your duds? I know lots of folks who would be all over that!
Yes! Glasses, stickers, and t-shirts are available through the web store – tebrew.com.
Will you all make shirts with the “Tebrew” logo on it?
Done! Check out the webstore – tebrew.com.
You guys should definitely try to get licensed to get this stuff shipped…our local new’s description of the beverage sounded great no matter what the label would have on it…….By riding off the Tebow craze you have caught a tiger by the tail….you guys have gotten national publicity….it may be savvy to strike while the iron is hot so we can all be happy….us enjoying your product….and you enjoying increased revenues !!!!
Thanks for the kind words…rest assured, we’re working on it!

I would get to get my hand on some Tebrew Beer
where can i buy some 913-633-9823
Right now, just by the glass at the tap room, Darryl.
I live in Grand Junction and would be more than to drive to Eagle. Is this brew bottled or do i need to BMOB?
John – right now, the beer is only served by the glass at our tap room. Hope you can find time to make it in.
I love it. I’m a homebrewer and a 2004 Gator graduate and I’ve watched Tebow play many times. This brew cracks me up…and a barleywine at that. Sounds absolutely tasty. I hope people respond on how it tasted. Look forward to visiting your tap room in tiny Eagle, CO. And no I will not be asking you to ship me some since 5 reviews I’ve seen says you’re not licensed. Good luck and I hope to see an expansion of distribution in your future.
Thanks Mike!

We’ll keep you posted!
hey i want some too..6 pack–12 pack..where can I GET IT???
At the moment, just at our tap room, and just by the glass.
Is there any way to have a six pack shipped to Denver? Or are you selling it anywhere in stores around Denver? We collect microbrew bottles for our basement bar and would love to add this to the collection!
Right now we aren’t packaging any of our beers, but we’re working on it.

I noticed from your replies above that you cannot ship out of state and I live in Oklahoma…..However I have a ton of family in the Colorado Springs area and will be there for Christmas. Is there any place around the Springs that I could get some Tebrew or can you ship it within the state of Colorado? I will also be in Denver over the holiday if there is anywhere in Denver to get some. Thanks
Only available at the tap room in Eagle, for now — we’re a relatively easy (and beautiful) drive from Denver — about two hours in good weather.
I live in golden colorado and would love to get some of this delightfull sounding brew is there any where close I could get it or do I need to make A trek out to eagle?
Right now, it’s just available by the glass at our tap room in Eagle. Hope you have a chance to swing by.
We are travelling to GJ tomorrow night (Thursday) and plan to stop in for a glass of Tebrew. Is there still some left?? I am SO looking forward to trying it!
Yes – the supply is holding up OK so far with it only being served in 10oz portions. Looking forward to meeting you! Open at 4pm today.
Please make FLORIDA at the top of your list for getting a wholesaler’s license. I live in Gainesville and everybody here is talking about it!!!! We all want Tebrew!
We certainly will…if for no other reason than we’d love to come visit! Thank you for your support.
