DENVER, CO – SEPTEMBER 6: Cans of beer that have been filled from one of the roughly 15 beers on tap at Mockery Brewing on Thursday, September 6, 2018. Cans are filled and sealed for customers on site. When Mockery Brewing opened in 2014, the area was filled with warehouses and had little attraction. But Rino quickly became the center of the city’s beer scene with some of the biggest breweries in Colorado setting up shop in the neighborhood.
