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!“

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

“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!!“

“Very nice people I must say. The Beer looks good too!“

“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.“

“Avery was an awesome brewery stop on our way up to Fort Collins. There was plenty of parking and the space itself is quite large with indoor and outdoor seating. There's a full food menu and tons of beer options on tap. All of the beers we tried were fresh and tasty, and the chips we got were nice. I'd appreciate the instructions to be a little clearer when walking in (see the host stand vs head straight to a table etc) but otherwise no complaints. Nice spot!“

“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.“

“Been here several times. It’s become a go-to when in the area. Never have to wait for a table, even on a Saturday. Large beer selection and haven’t had a bad one yet. We prefer to sit on the patio, which is heated in winter, open during warm weather. I’m a sucker for a good pretzel. Service has been great. Check it out!“

“Great brewery that has been around decades. Many awards on the wall to prove it. I recommend the Intercept IPA“

“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. 🙌“

“Where do i start??? Okay, Shelly the gm was outstanding! She made us feel so welcome and when she visited our table, she was not in any rush and was super warm and friendly. She was super generous wanting us to try their different foods.
Evan the chef brought out gluten free cookies that were so good! They weren't even on the menu!
Claire, our waittress made us feel right at home and assured us how safe the kitchen is for celiac/gluten free. She was amazing!

Dietary restrictions: Safe for celiac!“

“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.“

“Visited May 2025. Food was great group had steak, asparagus and salads along with calamari appetizer and 5-meat pizza. server Evan was sharp and on top of everything. A+
Front revolving door was cracked and not working. Good selection of shows on TVs, floors were clean. Ample parking.“

“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.“
