Beer was tasty. Service was brutal. Bartender did not have the best hospitality service. Took us 30 minutes to flag a waitress down.

Best beer in Colorado!!! We have loved coming here since we moved to Black Forest. The owners are so friendly and it's a fun place to be!

This place is always great, Erica is on it always friendly, attentive and welcoming. Great brews to choose from and warm pretzels.Nice atmosphere and some outdoor seating as well.I return here every time I am in the Black Forest visiting family. It is a must to visit.

My new favorite go to. Bartenders Tim and Linda are super pleasant, makes you feel at home. Cameron is another that I have met and has shown himself to be very friendly and informative. The beer list is broad which really caters to all of my interests and tastes. Generally a more relaxed and quiet establishment each of the times I've been. Often they have food trucks and events inside though, but I haven't been while they were doing either.

Fun local brewery. The Irish Red is very popular but the winter flavor flight was a great date item. The German food truck was great, it's what convinced us to come out. Kid friendly.
Peter B.
Outstanding service and ambiance. The food was good too. I loved the choice of brews and the ability to order a sampler "platter".

Really really good beer!!! A great mix of beer styles too!!! Friendly service!!! Food seems to sell out early!

Awesome selection of beers!! Loved sitting outside on the patio and trying a few varieties before we settled on our favorites!! Only wish they had some more food items…only had brats/chips/pickles that they grilled that day. Will definitely be back again.

It's been a while since I made the trip up to this brewery. Last time I had a flag stolen off my recumbent, while not at all the pubs fault, it did sour me on coming up. Anyway it's Oktoberfest so I decided to come up. The are decked out for Oktoberfest. Tent outside and beers of the season. A food truck (biggi's) for food. I knew they were expanding, doubled the space since my last visit. They now have a large space. The Oktoberfest beer I had was good. At times the service was a little slow ***but I believe this was because it was slammed for the festival***Anyway I peddle to many of the brewpubs around town and I think I'll add Black Forest brewery back to my list

This has become our local go to brewery. Great selection of beers for a small brewery. And apparently the secret's out because this place is packed! Wife is a fan of the fruit beers and the kolsch style, I am a huge fan of the Bistro Brown and the red ale.They have rotating food trucks, our favorites are biggi's and Pizzarte, but haven't had a bad one. You can bring your own food too (i have seen someone get door dash there).The outdoor seating on a Sunday afternoon is great. It can get a bit noisy on one side of the brewery where a local running club meets on sundays.
Stopped in to visit a friend I hadn’t seen in nearly 20years. The atmosphere was a little loud but they turned down the radio. There are thee seating areas, two indoor and one outdoor. The beer selection is very nice and mostly local. They even have gluten free beer. You can also have wine or a cocktail though the specialize in beer. When we arrived the only food available was specialty pizza from a food truck outside. It turns out the pub doesn’t serve food when they have a local food truck in. Unfortunately, the pizza guy ran out of food right as we were ready to order. So, the folks at the pub scrambled and offered us brats or meat pies. I had two delicious brats while my friends had pies that were still cold in the middle, but edible. Not great, but the staff were in a pinch. All that to say, if you want food, you might want to check on the menu first. The beer is very good and the staff really are excellent. I am happy to return next time I’m in town.

My family and I had a great time at the Black Forest Brewery during the Springtoberfest. All the beer was good, but the koelsch took me back to Cologne, Germany. It was that good. The band Hot Schnapps was great. I want to see hear them again. My kids had a great time dancing to the music. The food truck provided good, standard German fare. The saurkraut was great, but we were disappointed that the spaetzle sold out before we could get some. All in all we had a great time and will be back.

I love this brewery. Great selection. Lots of taps. Side room for sports tvs. Main room for drinking and conversation. Staff is knowledge about beer and capable. They have food trucks now. If you're a beer fan, especially european beer, this place is a must.

Stopped in yesterday, and what a disappointment. Guy behind the bar was not friendly or welcoming. He seemed put off and annoyed we had questions about the beers. Hazy IPA was pretty bad, couldn't even finish it. Will not return. Get it together.. hire people that smile, welcome and appreciate your business!

Great place to hold an event. It's a little piece of Germany in the heart of Colorado's Black Forest. Plenty of seats, excellent beer and delicious food.
