The building at 5420 Denver Street Southeast has always been a beloved and special place. A church first built in 1891 with tenacity and fortitude, it was vastly renovated into a taphouse in 2016 with nerve and love. If you speak with the contractor who took on that massive project, Ryan Records, he'll tell you the spark started between strangers. "Chad (Casady) and I were at (an event for our kids) and were the only two dads who ordered a beer. We got to talking and Chad said it was his dream to start a taphouse. I said, "well I'd love to build one." Maybe a year, two years later, he called me and said, "Still wanna build a taphouse?" and I said, "Let's do it."

It was and is obvious Chad had a vivid and artistic vision of what Angel's Share Barrel House should look like. "Chad seems to make dreams realities," his wife, Melissa, once told the Statesman Journal. We feel it important to note most of what you see in present day was conceptualized and actualized by Chad, Melissa, and Ryan. It was their idea and their fire; their labor of love that built this place. We haven't changed much, because not much needed changed. That's how hard they worked and how well they did. That's what they built and what lasted.

We are humbled and honored to have the opportunity to carry on the Casady dream. We don't know what lies ahead, but we vow to protect its history as we carry the torch toward the future.

In honor of the dreamers, the builders, and the doers.

In honor of Chad and Melissa Casady.
