The new location will also bring its barrel-aging facility all under one roof.” And while that means that Ironton won’t have a taproom for more than a year, the distillery said its “products will remain available across Colorado” in stores and via delivery online. The new location will be at 1303 Empire Road in Louisville. Subscribe to our new food newsletter, Stuffed, to get Denver food and drink news sent straight to your inbox.
