Who we are
Tucked just off Tennyson Street, Berkeley Alley Beer Co. carries forward the legacy of De Steeg Brewing—one of Denver’s first alleyway breweries. Founded in 2013, De Steeg quietly became a neighborhood favorite, known for bold Belgian styles and cozy, off-the-beaten-path vibes. - Yes, literally the entrance is in the alley!
In 2021, the brewery was renamed Berkeley Alley Beer Co., expanding from a 1-barrel to a 4-barrel brewhouse and continuing the tradition with a new chapter.
Then in 2025, the keys changed hands once more—this time to a women-owned team with deep roots in craft beer and a bold vision for what’s next. Today, The Alley is more than a brewery. It’s a creative, welcoming space where beer, non-alcoholic options, and (soon) coffee all share the spotlight.
Our mission is to evolve alongside today’s craft drinkers and those drawn to what the world of craft can become—curious, boundary-pushing, and never stagnant.
Owners Liz and Chelsea bring years of industry experience and a passion for making the space more fun, more inclusive, and more community-driven. They're also the duo behind the Body By Beer Podcast—a video series celebrating beer, food, and the people who make the craft scene what it is.
We're proud to be a women-owned business in Denver and thrilled to be part of the vibrant Tennyson Street community.
