1st Generation
Comet Press
Nelse and Joyce Hendricks bought Comet Press in Downtown Littleton armed with elbow grease and real printing grease. A thriving print shop, Nelse and Joyce began thinking about retirement after the millennium.

Getting hitched
the shop
Brian Wilke met Lisa Hendricks, Nelse and Joyce’s daughter, at a now-gone brewery near DU. They hatched a plan – get hitched and keep the press in the family by turning “The Shop” into a brewery and taproom.

The Birth of
Comet Brews
Armed with elbow grease and no other grease because that would be gross in beer, Comet Brews keeps the Comet Press traditions alive.
Crafted in CO
Born & Bred
From Us to You
Brian and Lisa were both born and bred in CO. Lisa grew up at The Shop in Littleton, while Brian hails from that island surrounded by reality, Boulder. Moving away briefly taught them how much they love everything about CO, and they hope to bring that love to Comet Brews and everything that we do.
