History

In 1976, the first Old Chicago taphouse opened in Boulder, Colorado.[4] The first Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant was opened in Palo Alto, California on July 6, 1988.[5] The first Rock Bottom restaurant opened in Denver, Colorado in 1991.[4] In 1993, Big River Breweries opened its first location in Chattanooga, Tennessee.[6]

Rock Bottom Restaurants, Inc., made an initial public offering in 1994.[7] In 1995, the first ChopHouse opened in Denver, Colorado.[8] Big River Breweries opened the only brewpub at Walt Disney World in 1996. A private management buyout took Rock Bottom Restaurants, Inc. private in 1999.[7] In the same year, Gordon Biersch was acquired by Big River Breweries.[9] In 2000, Rock Bottom Restaurants formed the Rock Bottom Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity.[10] Rock Bottom Restaurants laid off about 20% of its corporate staff in 2007[11] and slowed its growth plans along with ceasing its search for an equity partner. In 2010, Rock Bottom Restaurants and Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant Group were acquired by Centerbridge Capital Partners and merged to form CraftWorks Restaurants and Breweries, Inc.[4][12]

On November 1, 2018, CraftWorks announced that it had acquired Logan's Roadhouse.[13]

Featuring German lagers brewed according to the German Purity Law of 1516 (Reinheitsgebot), Gordon Biersch has won numerous gold medals at both the Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup. Gordon Biersch offers a made-from-scratch American menu with international flavors. The first Gordon Biersch opened in Palo Alto, California. The company was acquired by Big River Brewing Company in 1999 and later renamed Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant Group, Inc. In 2016, Gordon Biersch had 32 locations nationwide.[14] The company also reported four locations in Taiwan.[15]

Rock Bottom Restaurant Breweries

The company operates 27 breweries under the name Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery. These breweries are located in several states, with seven restaurants in Colorado, five in Illinois, three in California, and one restaurant each in Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin. The store was renamed Rock Bottom after someone pointed out that they were "building at the bottom of the rock," which was Prudential's slogan at the time.[16] In 2000, the Boston-based Brew Moon Enterprises Inc. filed for bankruptcy and sold four of its five restaurant-microbreweries to Rock Bottom.[17] In 2009, the La Jolla location in San Diego won a medal at the Great American Beer Festival,[18] and in 2012 they medaled at the World Beer Cup.[19] Rock Bottom Restaurants won Brewpub Group Brewer of the Year award at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival (GABF).[20]
