15 Best Craft Breweries in Boulder

“Casual atmosphere, incredible brews, and kombucha for those preferring NA...hard to beat Sanitas Brewing!“

“Very nice place. Clean. Folks there super nice! Beers are delicious! We had a great time. Definitely would go back!“

“Two Cubs fans visit a brewery in Boulder, CO....
It's a small, no-frills spot with solid, straightforward beers. And Holly was super friendly! Chicago Cubs decor, old Wrigley Field stadium seats, and tanks named after former players...can't wait until our next visit. Cheers!“

“We recently rented out the Flatiron Park party room for our destination wedding reception. MacKenna, their event coordinator, was so helpful with planning. Tennessee was our host/server for the evening, and he was absolutely WONDERFUL - attentive and so much fun. The staff all went above and beyond to make the day stress free and so very special. They had so many great drink options, and everyone was able to find something they liked. I would absolutely recommend working with Upslope for any event. Thanks again, Tennessee and team, for a great evening!!“

“Love the place and great vibes - Pale ale is the best“

“Asher is a happy little brewery in Boulder that might get overlooked. It is an unassuming and super friendly. They had 10 beers on for my stop plus some seltzers. Beers included: green kolsch, coffee kolsch, cherry blonde, amber, rasberry wheat, pale ale, juicy Ipa, hazy ipa, plus a few others. Everyone was friendly and wanted to know where you are from....but clearly had had a lot of local supporters. I plan to stop again when I am in th area.“

“My husband and I had a great time on our tour of Avery Brewing! Gabe was a fantastic guide and provided thoughtful information about the brewing process and what sets Avery apart from the rest. We enjoyed trying all the tastings and discussing the flavor profiles of each type of beer. We'd highly recommend this brewery tour to anyone visiting the Boulder area!“

“Away from the hustle of downtown Boulder is this sweet neighborhood spot to enjoy a relaxed vibe and perhaps the best Japanese lager in the country. Not much ambiance outside (a few tables on the parking lot,) but the inside is welcome and family-friendly.“

“Our server was gracious enough to extend happy hour prices a few minutes so we could get in our order. She was friendly and attentive, but not pushy. My salad and add-on blackened salmon were delicious. Good assortment of casual dishes as well as entrees. Well worth a visit.“

“Great selection. Good any season“

“My new favorite drink! 🙌

As someone who can't drink alcohol for medical reasons (though I wasn't much of a drinker), and also needs to keep calories low and gluten-free, Hoplark beverages are an absolute game-changer. They're not just refreshing, they're extraordinary.

I’m so grateful that my favorite beverage comes from a company that's all about community! 🙏

Their leadership is truly special, and it’s great to collaborate with a brand that shares values of wellness.

As a healthcare provider at Network Wellness Center, I can confidently say that Hoplark is our go-to drink for both our team and our community events. It’s fantastic to support a local Boulder business that’s involved in the community and shares our health-focused values.

A true winner. 🙌“

“Our third year coming to Boulder but first time to The Post. Known for its GF fried chicken, it's a heavy chicken and meat menu but surprisingly good menu for two vegetarian kids in my family. They loved the cheddar biscuits, quinoa &kale salad and cauliflower app. One even asked to go back two nights later. It's a fun vibe and a good drink selection. And the GF chicken is that good.“

“Found this place randomly.....looking for nonchain restaurant. Awesome service along with awesome food. The burgers are soooooo good. You will eat ALL of it for sure! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Colorado to make this a stop. You will not be disappointed.“

“Fantastic five course German Style Beer dinner tonight in Boulder. So yummy and great pairing of beer to the food.“

“Amazing food and a very professional, lively staff that work well with each other! Have had a few bad experiences at other locations in town compared to other cities I’ve lived in as far as feeling unwelcomed, but this place is one of the only locations that actually makes me miss working in the food industry. The fact they don’t accept cards is a little strange to me since I believe all businesses should accept any form of money. Nevertheless, still good food and good vibes.“
