16 Best Craft Breweries in Boulder

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

“Absolutely amazing every time. BOCO is a must for anyone visiting Boulder and a regular stop for me. The creativity and quality of cider is unparalleled. The care and consideration given to the product is extended to every customer that walks through the doors. The service and atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxing. The constant rotation of music and events makes BOBO Cidery a true gem of Boulder and Colorado community.“

“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.“

“Dog friendly, large outside area, perfect spot for an afternoon beer“

“Love love love the huge pretzels- especially for Oktoberfest! On the other hand the sauerkraut was the worst I ever had - didn't know anyone could mess up sauerkraut but TIP: destroy that recipe!! Live music was a treat - service was super friendly even though the kitchen was swamped. Fun evening - thank for having these great events. We'll be back!“

“Came in thinking this location was a taproom after driving in from Estes Park. Found out it was not actually a taproom but the gentleman offered us a sample for the road. Very nice staff and customer service even given our error!! Thanks everyone at hoplark!!“

“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.“

“We came in today with my wife dressed in an Elf costume. She tends to make a spectacle of herself. Elka, the manager came over and introduced herself and she said she enjoyed the costume so much she bought our meal. Rich delivered excellent service. Great food, great people“

“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.“
