About Hard Knox Brewery
Hard Knox Brewery was founded in 2018 by siblings Pamela and Cory Lyken as a tribute to the hardworking miners, oilfield workers, and homesteaders who built the area. Each core beer can features a local historical legend, such as Flores LaDue on Black Diamond Blonde, John Ware on Dusty Trail IPA, and Add McPherson on Grunt Work Amber Ale.
It is known for a cozy western-saloon-style taproom and a large dog-friendly beer garden, with a family-friendly atmosphere, wing nights, live music, and core beers including Grunt Work Amber Ale (top seller), Black Diamond Blonde, and Dusty Trail IPA plus rotating seasonals.
