In episode 114 of The PorchCast, Tristan was joined by Brian Terra & Kevin Barnes, co-founders of Andiamo Brew, a brand new, contract brewing-only brewery (for now), which recently launched in Denver.

We first came across Andiamo during GABF and were blown away by their 3% Italian Pilsner Piccolito, and had the chance to speak to the two cousins behind the mysterious Italian-inspired brewery that just sprang up in our backyard.

Two cousins named Kevin Barnes and Brian Terra leaned into their Italian heritage to launch Andiamo (“let’s go!” in Italian) Brew, which crafts low-alcohol versions of classic European beer styles.

The brews may be low in ABV (alcohol by volume), but they are full of flavor. A pair of Team Thirst judges gave Andiamo a medal in the Pours on the Plains beer competition last summer.

Say no to O’Doul’s. Here, the best and buzziest session beers and NA wines, suds, and “liquors” for mindful drinking in and around the Mile High City.

Increasingly, Denverites are opting for beverages with lower—or even nonexistent—alcohol contents. If you’re riding the wave, check out any of these local makers’ NA and low-ABV options, which are tasty (and sometimes even healthy) without the boozy punch.

Andiamo Brew launched in Denver last year and is focused on producing Italian-inspired "drinkin' beer.”

“No session beer allowed.”

That was the motto on a sign at Kevin Barnes’ former brewery in California over a decade ago. “Our flagship IPA became a double IPA, we were making imperial IPA, double stout. [But] all of us brewers just wanted a drinkin’ beer,” he says.

Fast forward to 2025, and Barnes and his cousin Brian Terra have started a brewery in Denver that makes nothing but “drinkin' beer.” The duo opened up Andiamo Brew last year. The name is an Italian word that means “let’s go" — Terra says that it’s like the word 'vamanos.' The pair further leans into that Italian heritage with the logo of a falcon (the family maiden name is Falco, which means Falcon). They were inspired by that heritage, combined with the styles of beers that the cousins wanted to drink — lower alcohol beers that still taste great.

With Terra in a sales and management role for the company and Barnes in the brewer role, the cousins are aiming to deliver session-strength beer to a growing number of consumers in Denver and beyond.
