Iron Rail Brewing Co.
Bold Beer. Built Here.
Small-batch craft ales and lagers brewed in a converted rail depot in Durango, CO.
Our Craft
Brewed with Conviction
Iron Rail started in a garage in 2018 with a homebrewer's obsession and a 15-gallon kettle. Today we produce 1,200 barrels a year in our 7-barrel brewhouse inside a 1920s rail depot on East 2nd Avenue.
Every beer we make is designed for this altitude, this water, and the people who live here. We don't chase trends. We chase the perfect pint.
What's on Tap
We keep 12 taps rotating. Here are three you'll always find.
Railyard Red
Our flagship amber ale. Caramel malt backbone with a clean, slightly hoppy finish. 5.4% ABV. The beer that built this brewery.
Switchback IPA
West Coast IPA with Simcoe and Centennial hops. Citrus-forward, piney finish, no haze. 6.8% ABV. Bitter the way it should be.
Depot Dark Lager
Munich-style schwarzbier. Roasted malt, clean lager character, finishes dry. 4.9% ABV. The session beer that turns skeptics.

What Durango Thinks
“
The Railyard Red has a caramel-malt backbone and a clean finish. It's become my go-to pour whenever I stop in.

We hosted a private gathering in the taproom — great beer, room for the whole group, and a team that helped us plan the tap selections.

As a homebrewer, I appreciate the craft here. The Schwarzbier is clean and well balanced — no shortcuts in the fermentation.
