Colorado Breweries History: Silver Plume Brewing Silver Plume Brewing Company is located in the mountain community of Silver Plume on Interstate 70 west of Denver. Silver Plume produces an amber ale and pilsner and brew called Terrible Ale. The latter, a red ale, is named for a nearby mine, not the condition of the brew. A raspberry porter was brewed for the holidays. Silver plume stared out brewing their own brew but at some point went to Broadway Brewing to have their beer contract brewed. Silver Plume Brewing closed in 1997.
