WeldWerks Brewing 'Long Bones Dark' Mexican Style Dark Lager Beer, Colorado

WeldWerks Brewing's 'Long Bones Dark' Mexican-style dark lager beer explores the darker side of the brewery’s Long Bones lineup. Identified by WeldWerks as a Mexican-style dark lager, this release offers an alternative expression within a brewing program that spans traditional lagers, hop-focused IPAs, and experimental ales. Its style points toward toasted malt character balanced by the clean, composed finish associated with lager brewing.

Product Details:

• ABV: 5.4%, as listed on the brewery’s verified tap menu
• Owner and Co-founder: Neil Fisher
• Co-founder: Colin Jones
• Head Brewer: Skip Schwartz

Sensory Description:

As a Mexican-style dark lager, its expected profile centers on toasted bread, gentle caramel-like malt tones, and restrained roast. The style typically balances rounded malt flavor with a relatively light, smooth texture and a clean finish. Expect malt depth and refreshment to share the spotlight, with bitterness providing structure rather than dominating the palate.

Brewer's Background:

Founded in Greeley, Colorado, in 2015 by Neil Fisher and Colin Jones, WeldWerks Brewing Co. developed from garage homebrewing into a brewery with a wide-ranging portfolio. Alongside Juicy Bits and its experimental sour and barrel-aged beers, the brewery maintains a commitment to lager styles. Head brewer Skip Schwartz helps guide a production program grounded in WeldWerks’ “Dialed-In Beer” philosophy, which emphasizes research, ingredient selection, quality control and continual refinement.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve at approximately 7 to 10°C (45 to 50°F) in a clean lager glass or Willi Becher. Try it with carnitas tacos, grilled mushrooms, roast chicken, cheese quesadillas, or black-bean enchiladas. Toasted and caramelized foods offer a natural pairing for the style’s malt character. Store refrigerated and enjoy fresh.
