After cutting his teeth home-brewing in his garage, Nick Nunns went pro and launched TRVE (metal-speak for “superlative”) in Denver's Baker neighborhood in summer 2012 with a novel funding concept. He sold $50 memberships that included a half-dozen growler fills and another half-dozen discounted growlers.
“There was an outpouring of support from the neighborhood,” says Nunns. “We sold out of 266 memberships in the first two days.”
The ploy staked TRVE with seed money to launch, and the brewer is now getting ready to offer 366 memberships for its second year. “We're already looking at expanding the brewhouse,” says Nunns, noting the taproom recently shut down on a Wednesday and Thursday. “Otherwise, we wouldn't have any beer for the weekend,” he explains.
“We like to think of ourselves as a bar that brews its own beer,” says Nunns. “We're just taking it one step at a time and focusing on brewing the best beer possible.”
