Beer is a big part of the Colorado lifestyle! For every camping trip, whitewater adventure or 14’er summit there’s beer shared on the back of a tailgate, at one of Colorado’s 300+ taprooms or on your custom redwood deck. But what to do when the temperature drops and the flakes start flying?
We’re blessed with plenty of excellent Colorado craft beers for the 65 days of the year when the sun isn’t shining. Find them at your local brewery or stock up until deck weather returns in the spring. These malt-focused beers are perfect for cozying up by the fire after a long day in the Colorado cold and are guaranteed to chase your winter brrrews away!
German Dunkel
If you’re a fan of Porter be sure to give Dunkel a try – similar to the English favorite but with a cleaner taste from cold fermentation and lagering. Dunkel is German for “dark,” and this beer showcases chocolate and coffee flavors from its roasted dark malts. Best bet: Wibby Dunkel (Longmont)
Belgian Quadruple
Sugar and spice and everything nice sums up these high-octane ales, which feature complex dark fruit, caramel flavors and spicy exotic yeast – plus an alcohol by volume often exceeding 10 percent. You’ll have visions of sugar plums dancing in your head, so wait for the comfy chair at home to crack one open or call an Uber. Best bet: Bruz Beers King Quad (Midtown)
Brown Ales
Toasted bread and caramel malt flavors are often combined with some sturdy bittering in American-style Browns. Colorado brewers are making some really good ones. Best bet: Telluride’s Face Down Brown (Telluride)
Stout
There are a lot of different takes on stouts, but all of them feature some level of roasted barley which lends an espresso character. Best bet: Epic Brewing’s Big Bad Baptist (RiNo)
Barleywine
The ultimate beer for hunkering down with friends and loved ones. Barleywines are strong, complex and warming beers meant to be sipped in your favorite snifter with a hunk of stilton. Best bet: Dry Dock Brewing Bligh’s Barleywine (Aurora)

If the market value of your home is important to you – as it is for many – adding a custom deck can increase your house value.

HFS Financial also offers 120% financing, allowing you some financial wiggle room for those unexpected hiccups that you may find along the way of your deck-building journey. All funds are paid directly to you, the consumer, so there’s no need to coordinate contractor work with payout schedules. Handle your project your way.
Once we’ve received your information through our 60-Second Loan Application, you will be notified of possible loan options quickly to discuss and review your loan terms and the home improvement project you have in mind.
My husband Matt and I [...] have moved away from the home where we had the beautiful deck and outdoor living space you created. We will forever remember fondly that beautiful deck, and the hard work you did during a very bad economic time to fix problems around the foundation of our home. Steve, Keith, and all of your workers were fabulous and we sent several of our friends your way with referrals. We are sure that your deck helped us get a wonderful offer on our home.
We just wanted to tell you how much we enjoy the decks DeckTec constructed at our home. Their use is a constant joy. We continually receive compliments on the design and quality of your work. We look forward to many years of use.
DeckTec are absolute pros. They just finished a big deck and roof cover project at my house. The total experience from working with Steve in Design and Sales, Keith in Project Management, and Charlie, Josh, and Hank in Construction was nothing but 6 star service. 100% on time and on budget with craftsmanship and quality. Skip the “Hammer and Nails” contractors and go with DeckTec if you want an “Outdoor Living Space”. Call these people – you will not be disappointed.
I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the work Decktec completed refinishing my deck. It hasn’t looked this good since it was new sixteen years ago. Decktec was very professional, polite and willing to work with me to get the exact color of stain I wanted. I would recommend Decktec to anyone who wants a complete job from the great construction work starting the job, to its thorough cleanup. I’m happy my neighbor referred me to Decktec. You are the fourth company I’ve had refinish my deck and will now be the only company I use going forward.
