Casita Brewing Company joins tenant list at Stanley Marketplace

November 16, 2015

Casita Brewing Company will join a host of food and beverage concepts at Stanley Marketplace, including Stanley Beer Hall, GoodBird Kitchen, Comida, Rosenberg’s Bagels and Sazza. The community-centric marketplace and food hall will open at 2501 Dallas St. in Aurora next year.

Casita Brewing Company was founded in 2014 as a bespoke brewing consulting service for private clients. Its first production brewery and public taproom will open within Stanley, and offer 10-12 beers, including standards like IPAs and porters, as well as more unusual concoctions. It will continue to offer custom brewing services for private clients in its new facility.

Casita draws inspiration from the Mexican roots of co-owners Javier Pérez Koch and Jennifer Pérez, as well as the influence of European countries on Mexican food, drink and culture.  Under the direction of Brewmaster Brian Arnold, Casita’s beer will be fusion focused, utilizing a combination of flavors and colors to produce brews. Additionally, Casita will craft specific brews inspired by several of the other businesses within Stanley, including a Logan House inspired coffee-infused beer, and a beer created for Endorphin ­­members to enjoy after their weekly Friday night Stink & Drink classes.

Casita runs the Homies Brewing Club, a gathering place for fans of craft beer and home brewing, and will sponsor several athletic teams, including the Casita Brewing Running Club and the Casita Brewing Disc Golf Club, which plans to host games on Stanley’s parkland. Casita is also dedicated to community service projects.

“Jennifer and I are looking forward to giving people a home away from home,” Pérez Koch said. “Casita Brewing won’t just be a place where you go and they have to let you in. We want patrons to treat it like their living room. We welcome you, your family and friends to make Casita Brewing a place to gather to enjoy more than just beer. It will be the place where you gather to celebrate, to perform community service and to start or end your exertion.”

Developed by Stapleton-based Flightline Ventures, the more than 22-acre, 100,000-square-foot Stanley Marketplace was once Stanley Aviation headquarters, where airplane ejector seats were engineered and manufactured. The same innovative spirit that once filled this building has been harnessed to offer community members an urban marketplace featuring goods and services from local and independent businesses, as well as a spacious community park and indoor/outdoor event venue.

“The Stanifesto really appealed to our desire to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, and to support the other tenants and the communities Stanley serves,” Perez said. “Community building and repurposing a beautiful, historic property are key factors in our desire to be a part of Stanley.”
