It’s been a more than a few years since kids donned their roller skates and had a blast going around in circles at Skate Castle! Soon, those kids can return to the same location as adults, and enjoy some of Loveland’s newest hand-crafted beers!

Who knows how many kids in Loveland used to hang out in Loveland in their orange and brown skate shoes at Skate Castle? The number must be into the tens of thousands. The music! The video games! The food! Of course, the skating! Some kids were really good, some kids….were not. That didn’t matter. You’d get some money from your parents as they dropped you off, and you’d just live it up for a few hours! A lot of kids’ first jobs was at the rink!

Skate Castle was open from 1977 to 2006. Not too long ago, [they] took that building, and made it into three business spaces. Today, you can see the big marquee for Infinite Martial Arts as you drive by on Eisenhower. As you pull into the parking lot, you see the Fastenal guys. What do those guys do, anyway? Right in between Infinite Arts and Fastenal you’ll soon be enjoying Northern Colorado’s latest craft beer!

Big Thompson Brewing will be taking over the middle of the Skate Castle building. ‘Coming Soon’ is all the sign on the door says. Once they open, they’ll join Loveland’s other microbreweries- Big Beaver, Crow Hop, Grimm Brothers, Loveland Aleworks, Rock Bottom, and Verboten.

Coming Soon

They do have a great local name: Big Thompson. I am going to submit a name for one of their beers:

R2-J Red!

Good Luck, Guys!
