DENVER — McWhinney Real Estate Services Inc. has purchased from Great Divide Brewing Co. the parcel of land at 1812 35th St. that includes Great Divide’s barrel bar and packaging hall, McWhinney announced Monday in a news release. 

The purchase price for the 2.2-acre parcel was $23.1 million, according to Denver County property records.

Great Divide will continue to operate the barrel bar and packaging hall as a partner and tenant in the space while a mixed-use community is developed around it.

This is the second parcel in RiNo that Great Divide has sold to Loveland-based McWhinney in recent years. In 2019, McWhinney purchased 2.5 acres adjacent to the barrel bar property. 

“I am thrilled to partner again with McWhinney on the second piece of our land sale,” Great Divide Brewing Co. founder and president Brian Dunn said in a prepared statement. “We had interest from multiple parties in the property and were fortunate to be able to select the partner who will best meet the goals of Great Divide Brewing. RiNo has become our second home and we’re excited to maintain a presence in this vibrant location through the foreseeable future with the Barrel Bar and our warehousing operations. McWhinney embraced this plan and I think it’s a real testament to their understanding of local business and local business partnerships.”
