Throwback Thursday to when seeing 2004 on an ID was enough to send a bartender into an existential crisis. 🍻😭 A year and a half later, we’re now checking perfectly legal IDs that start with 2005, so somehow this Reel has gotten even more upsetting.

Cajun Shrimp & Andouille is the kind of order that turns the whole table into a project. 🍤🔥 Shrimp, crawfish, andouille, corn & potatoes, all tossed in our house Cajun-spiced butter and piled in together. Order one for the table and see how generous everybody actually is. 🍺

We’ve got something special brewing. 🍺👀 Steamworks is teaming up with Ska, Carver and Anarchy on a Veterans Day collaboration beer. We’re not giving away the whole story yet, but this one has a little more behind it than usual. 🇺🇸🍻 More soon.

Six categories. Six spots on the podium. 🏆🍻 Thanks to everyone who voted for us in Best of Durango & La Plata County! 🥈 Brewery, Bar/Pub & Restaurant 🥉 Wings, Casual Dining & Fries Seriously, thank you for showing Steamworks so much love.

One of the old Steamworks secrets: ask for a Train Smoke. 🍺 Conductor Imperial IPA + Backside Oatmeal Stout, both on nitro and layered together. It’s not on the menu, but we can ring one in if you know to ask. If you know, you know.

The green sign has been doing its job for 30 years. The table usually takes it from there. 🍻 Brewing beer and feeding Durango on East Second since 1996. 801 E. Second Ave. If you’re visiting town, now you know what to look for.

Dad Joke of the Week: 🧀 “What do you call cheese that isn’t yours?” Nacho cheese. 😂 We know. It’s ancient. We’re using it anyway. Come grab some nachos, share them with the table, and try not to make the joke again once they arrive. 🌮🍻

Fall Blaze is back. 🍂🚲 We’re proud to support @flccycling, a 25-time national champion, for a full day of riding, racing and fundraising this Saturday, Sept. 26. Proceeds support team scholarships. Register: bikereg.com/fall-blaze-2026

Weekend special: House Smoked Cranberry Chipotle Pork Ribs with potato salad and broccolini. 🍖 Smoky, sweet, a little spicy, and only around while it lasts.

Slam Dunkel is built for weeks like this. 🌧️🍺 Cold, rainy Durango weather + an unfiltered German-style Dunkelweizen with clove, banana and a little extra malt depth. Our version also brought home Gold at the Great American Beer Festival.

Green Chile Chicken Fried Steak, Crispy Wings and a Conductor Imperial IPA. Somebody at this table knew exactly what they were doing. 🍺 Thanks to @ wheniremember on IG for sharing the spread with us.

Tomorrow: 30 years of Steamworks + a FREE Yachtzilla show at Buckley Park in Durango, Colorado. 🍻🎸 4–8 PM • Yachtzilla at 5:30 PM Come celebrate three decades with us.

We turn 30 this week, and Thursday we’re taking the party to Buckley Park. 🍻🎉 Join us from 4–8 PM in downtown Durango, with Yachtzilla at 5:30 PM for a free set of ’70s and ’80s soft rock. Come celebrate 30 years of Steamworks with us.

Can’t decide on one beer? Good. Don’t. 🍻 Grab a Sampler Flight and try six small pours instead. A little of this, a little of that, and maybe one you wouldn’t have ordered otherwise. Honestly, that’s half the fun. 😁

Behind every clean pint photo is a room that looks a little more like this. 🍺⚙️ Brew day in full swing, hoses everywhere and the crew doing the work that eventually ends up in your glass. Thanks to Mikkel Svendstrup for the shot. 🍻

Thanks to everyone who came out to see us at San Juan Brewfest last night, and to all the volunteers who make the whole thing happen. 🍻🙌 We’re back pouring today from 1–5 PM. Tickets are still available, so come say hi and grab a beer. sanjuanbrewfest.com

Let’s get Western. 🤠⛳️ The 4th Annual Peak Food & Beverage Invitational is Sept. 17 at 9 AM at Hillcrest Golf Club. Nine holes, friendly competition and Western attire strongly encouraged. Register: golfgenius.com/register?leag…

Durango has a way of working up an appetite. 🍤🍻 Our Cajun Shrimp & Andouille is loaded with shrimp, andouille, crawfish, corn & potatoes tossed in our house Cajun-spiced butter. Trail day, downtown stroll or no cooking tonight? Grab a table at the brewpub.

Thanks to our frienc Tom Maloney, our Colorado Kölsch cans have a better hiking résumé than most of us. 🏔️🍺 Another killer shot from the San Juans, with blue water, big views, and one very well-traveled can. Thanks for taking us along, Tom. 🍻

Our crew spends a lot of time taking care of everyone else. This week, they get a day for themselves. 🍻 Steamworks will be closed Tuesday, Aug. 18 for Employee Appreciation Day. We’ll be back Wednesday!
