Inside a vintage 1970s Airstream trailer parked at Denver Beer Co.’s Arvada taproom, something special sizzles on the flatop—grass-fed Colorado beef burgers that have transformed this unique setup into one of the area’s most beloved burger destinations. 🍔
The Mighty launched in 2017 when Denver Beer Co. partnered with the founders of Lucky Pie to create an artisan burger concept serving organic, locally sourced burgers alongside craft beer in Olde Town Arvada.
How The Mighty won Arvada’s hearts
In 2017, Denver Beer Co. partnered with Lucky Pie founders Brendan McManus, James London, and Sakima Brown to create a permanent burger concept inside their Arvada taproom.
The vision was clear from the start: build the best burger folks have ever had using grass-fed, free-range Colorado beef, handmade local buns, and fresh-cut organic potatoes for fries.
What set this Arvada burger joint apart was the brilliant pairing: fresh ground Angus beef burgers and beer on a patio—a match made in heaven, according to Denver Beer Co. founder Patrick Crawford.
The vintage Airstream, which once traveled cross-country for decades, was stripped and converted into Arvada’s go-to burger spot, creating an Instagram-worthy backdrop for incredible food. ✨
Beyond the signature menu items, The Mighty empowers customers with unlimited possibilities for burger combinations featuring about 18 different toppings—from roasted chilies and peppered bacon to pepper relish and sour cream.
Managers Jesse Knight and Clayton Diamond have witnessed some outlandish creations, including three-patty monsters and burgers served on piles of fries with fried eggs like a haystack.
The food truck setup inside Denver Beer Co. creates the perfect environment—order your burger, grab a craft beer, and enjoy the communal atmosphere with half the seating inside and half outside on the patio.
