Craft Beer

The Shamrock was the first craft brewery in Pueblo, Colorado and has been brewing the best craft beer in Southern Colorado since 2005. Originally founded as an Irish pub over sixty years ago, it is fitting that our Irish Red and Irish Porter are always on tap along with Steel City Gold and PAPA (Pueblo American Pale Ale).

We are passionate about craft beer and always have a seasonal or something new on tap. Don’t miss our Coconut Chocolate Porter (aka Death by Coconut, a collaboration), 3rd Street Coffee Stout (brewed with coffee from our neighbor Solar Roast), BIG PAPA (DIPA), Wee Heavy (Scotch Strong), or Ginger Baker (5280 Magazine Beer Buzz) to name a few. Come enjoy craft beer Colorado style!

Currently on Tap

Big PAPA – Imperial IPA (Notorious IPA)

This is PAPA’s offensive stepfather. Aggressively hopped with copious amounts of Mosaic, El Dorado, Citra and Cascade hops in the boil and then dry hopped with healthy doses of Mosaic and Citra. This provides a very tropical, pine-like wallop to the senses. 9.5% ABV 75 IBU.

Steel City Gold – Golden Ale

Craft beer doesn’t always have to be aggressive. Fresh, crisp, and clean is what this beer is all about. 5% ABV.

Irish Red – Irish Red Ale

Our Irish style red ale combines Pale, Crystal, and Melanoidin malts to produce a caramel sweetness in this smooth, easy drinking beer. Noble hops provide a mild bitterness but allow the malty caramel flavors to dominate the taste of this beer. 5.0% ABV.

Irish Porter – Brown Porter

In Ireland, especially in Dublin in the late 1700’s, this style of beer became a favorite of blue collar workers. The drink was known as “plain porter” or just “plain”. This is the drink referred to in the famous Flann O’Brien poem, The Workman’s Friend: “A pint of plain is your only man.” Dark in color, this beer contains a robust flavor from the use of caramel and chocolate malts. 4.8% ABV.

PAPA – Pueblo American Pale Ale

This American pale ale layers Columbus, Citra, and Amarillo hops over a light body so you can get intimate with them. 6.2% ABV.

Solar Coffee Stout

Shamrock Brewing Co. proudly presents the return of their Coffee Stout. A noteworthy collaboration between Solar Roast Coffee and the Shamrock Brewing Co. This wonderful fall libation combines a classic robust stout with a special cold-brewed coffee exclusively brewed for this beer. The beans specially chosen for this project are a combination of Sumatran, Guatemalan and Columbian beans which were roasted to perfection by Solar Roast’s head roaster, Drew and his trusty roaster dog, Coffa. Come by for a pint or take a Crower home today.  7% ABV / 35 IBU

Monk’s Double – Belgian Dubbel

The origin of Dubbel, a strong version of a brown beer, was brewed in Westmalle Abbey in 1856. This traditionally Trappist beer was originally brewed exclusively by Monks who lived and worked at the abbey. While we can’t technically call it a Trappist beer, we can still brew it with the same doctrine of thought and tradition as the original. As history holds par, dark Belgian candy sugar was used in the brewing process. This addition, along with a special Belgian strain of yeast lends itself to many wonderful flavors often reminiscent of dark fruit, burnt sugar, citrus esters, a touch of banana, and more all feature in what ends up being a surprisingly dry Belgian abbey beer. It’s a wonderful, complex malty beer with caramelized sugar creating flavors of chocolate, rum, raisins and dates. 7.5% ABV / 22 IBU

Dirty Blonde Ale

North American in origin, hopped with traditional Cascade hops. Yeast cultivated from the world-famous Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and malted barley grown and harvested in the beautiful San Luis Valley right here in colorful Colorado. 5% Abv / 17 IBU

Ancho Irish Red Ale

For a limited time only we are offering a unique blending of flavors using our traditional Irish Red Ale and infusing with Ancho chiles. Ancho chiles are known for their robust smokey flavor, mild to medium heat and rounded out by an earthy sweetness This is not a typical chile beer, the rich flavors are more predominate than the spicy heat found in many chile beers. Don’t miss this unusually tasty tapping.
