History
Brewability first opened as BrewAbility Lab in a garage in a northeast Denver industrial park in 2016. In late 2018, building on Brewability's early success, the firm opened a second location, a pizzeria called Pizzability in Denver's Cherry Creek neighborhood. The pizzeria was also staffed by people with disabilities. However, Pizzability was unable to generate sufficient revenue to sustain the operation, and it closed in December 2019. At that time, the two locations' assets were all moved to downtown Englewood, Colorado, where the brewery/pizzeria now operates.{{cite web |url=https://www.nwmissouri.edu/media/news/2023/01/09CoverTiffanyFixter.htm |title=Open to all: Tiffany Fixter promotes education, inclusivity at Brewability |author= |date=January 10, 2023 |website=Media Center |publisher=Northwest Missouri State University |access-date=February 6, 2023 |quote=}}
The owner and manager of Brewability is Tiffany Fixter, a graduate of Northwest Missouri State University who was once fired from her job as director of a Denver day program for adults with disabilities for demonstrating a lack of creativity.
