50 Best Craft Breweries in Denver

“One of the best places for legitimate beer not just in Denver, but pretty much anywhere I’ve been around the US.

Awesome cask ales, keg beers, and more.

Robert is a genuine dude and my family is always excited to see him at the bar.“

“Located in the Marriott Denver Tech Center, you may be misled to think that it is "just another hotel restaurant." That would be WRONG! This is a hidden gem - excellent service and the food is truly delicious. Salads are generous and make the full meal and the entrees satisfy. We shared a Reuben and n the split plate - each of us received a full serving of French fries with no upcharge. Timely service, friendly smiles - we truly enjoyed this restaurant for BOTH dinner and breakfast. A note about breakfast - the Avocado Toast is one of the BEST I have ever had and I order it at every restaurant I go to...just to check it out. The sausage gravy is a warm surprise with a spicy sausage that compliments the gorgeous biscuits in the best way. LOVED this restaurant and if you are staying at the Marriott - lucky you. If you are not - get over there as you will find the experience worth the trip.“

“Grabbed a quick breakfast here after a misconnection. It was busy, but people are constantly leaving, so was able to find a table. Prices were reasonable for the airport and food was freshly made.

Ordered an Uptown Sandwich and a Sunshine Scramble. Food came out within 10 minutes and was of good quality, good portions, and freshly made. It was a good breakfast to help pass the time of a misconnection in Denver.“

“Great fresh beer! Amazing selection! Friendly staff! Free stickers! What more can you ask for? Go here!!!“

“So excited to see that this venue will be hosting StageFluid and can't wait to come to these shows!!!! Sake Brewery??? Count me in!“

“Delicious beer selection!🍺“

“Great spot to relax and enjoy some delicious beers and wine. My husband, son and I met Stephen the owner and he was such a great host.“

“Landed from Philly a few hours before starting our brewery tour off here. Super clean beers, friendly people working, the record player was a great touch and it was nice to have some lil table games to pass the time. Overall a great vibe. Definitely will be back next time I’m in denver and will be suggesting this spot to friends who live here or are just coming to visit“

“There are very few breweries in CO or elsewhere who make awesome ESBs and even fewer who offer them on Nitro. My first time in Crazy Mountain I was blown away by this. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!“

“I love this location! It’s right on the way home from work for me. I also love the smell of beer being brewed!!!! The staff is super friendly, the food trucks are super tasty! The beer is excellent. The taproom is very white and tidy. Very clean look! The view of the park across the street is very beautiful at dusk.“

“We were treated like friends that have known each other for 20 years!“

“Bruz is an exceptionally good brewery that stands out even in Denver's crowded beer scene for beers and service that are both a perfect 5 stars. They're the only brewery that makes Belgian beers that actually taste like they're from Belgium and they're continually innovating in interesting ways. There's always something new to try, or you can go with the range of classics, which span any beer tastes you might have. I've had many great visits to this location and enjoyed consistently good service.

The one (and only) time I had a problem during one of my visits, the owners of the brewery contacted me and made up for the problem in a way that went far beyond any expectations I had. I've heard many anecdotes of other local businesses in Denver not carring about customer complaints. Bruz responded to my problem with overwhelming kindness, which shows how much they care about their customers.

If you're reading this review to pick your next drinking spot, then please, look no further. A brewery that puts this much love into quality beer and customer happiness is a place you need to visit.“

“The Brewer really knows Czech style beers, and he executes them well! Staff is friendly and the tap room is open and inviting.“

“Yummy!! This place was fun and amazing!“

“Great craft beer selections, friendly staff, casual atmosphere yet both unique; Dewey is old school vibe and Harbeson is contemporary. Dewey location has great in house food and Harbeson has collab with Pizza Machine next door—very good!“

“Bruz makes the best Belgian beers you can find in Colorado and some of the best beers period. The brewery has a great atmosphere, with wonderful service, and fun events. I'd highly recommend one of their beer tastings to get an overview of the many styles of Belgian beer.“

“Everything about this place ROCKS!!!“

“Amazing staff at Spangalang! Norman and Erica always greeting us like family. Their bartenders and crew are on point and go above and beyond. The beverages are spectacular and the live music is spot on. I highly recommend this spot for a nice evening of spirits and live music.“

“River North has incredible staff that is matched only by the beer. One of the best barrel age programs in the country while also being able to make incredible beers of all styles“

“Brooke is amazing !! She is so friendly!“

“We had great beers here!“

“great sours. worth the visit“

“I don't remember ever seeing a craft brewery in such close proximity to the airport, but it should be more common. And done like Danico.

There is so much space and it feels so open inside as well. Lots of bar seating, couch and table seating along with a decent sized patio outside. They also have a play area for children which I think is genius.

Now to the beer. They do flights of 5 (first time I've come across that) and it gives you a chance to try more styles of beer. And I would say try everything, they were all fantastic. I personally can't recommend any one beer because I enjoyed them all. So choose what style of beer you want and go with that.

No on site kitchen, but there is always a food truck serving and then bring it inside the brewery.

Staff were very friendly and kept the beer flowing.

If you are staying at a hotel out by the Denver Airport, Danico should be on your list to visit.“

“Fantastic spot with a beer for every palate—the vibe is awesome, and the service is top-shelf. Brooklyn was kind and made our visit exceptional. Before my wife and I stopped in, we read the reviews (we always do) and noticed a lone one-star complaint accusing her of being disrespectful and “fat-shaming” a family. After meeting Brooklyn, I can’t imagine her acting that way. There’s even a sign by the register that says “All are welcome,” no matter your race, orientation, etc. Don’t let that review fool you. Brooklyn is awesome and the place is amazing. 🍻“

“Great Beer. Great Staff. Great Patio!!“

“Amazing service and awesome beer in a great location. I love checking out local breweries and this place did not disappoint. They have a lot of space and different types of seating (high or low tables, bar seating and some seats on patio outside. They’re also kid & dog-friendly, though dogs must stay on outdoor patio. The beer-tenders are super friendly and helped me find the beers I like there and are awesome to talk to. I have come here a handful of times since moving to Denver from Florida and I’m comfortable reading a book on my own, sitting at the bar and chatting with the beer-tenders or regulars (who are super friendly to newcomers), or watching a game on TV. It’s a Welcoming atmosphere and has a good selection of different beer styles (e.g., hazy and west coast IPA’s, blondes and wheat ales, jalapeño blonde ale, red ale, barrel aged stout, Sour, & limited editions). Plus several of their beers are gluten reduced and one of the beer-tenders who has celiacs says she and others with gluten intolerant folks are fine drinking them. It’s definitely become my new home brewery after living here just 5 weeks! They also have a bookshelf of board and card games you can play if you want to make it a game night!“

“Loving the remodel under new ownership 🥰 it feels so approachable and comfortable!! The beers are delicious and that beer slushie
is perfect for summer. Loved the launch point delta, West coast IPA

Excited to come back!“

“Public Offering Brewery is hands down my favorite brewery in Denver. They’ve got an great selection of beers for all kinds of tastes. Their hoppy beers really shine, and honestly, when I compare them to places like Comrade Brewing, I think Public Offering might have the edge. The hops are bold, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, making each sip super satisfying. But hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder—picking a favorite between these hoppy powerhouses is basically impossible, they’re all that good.

Their stouts, lagers, and fruited sours are on point too, so there's something for everyone, no matter what you’re into.

What really makes Public Offering stand out, though, is the vibe. The place has a super laid-back feel, perfect for hanging out with your crew inside or outside on their huge patio. Whether you’re all about the hops or just looking for a chill spot to unwind, Public Offering Brewery is the place to be.“

“Not sure what to get then pick a flight. Loved to see they had outside seating as well“

“Had a great time at this brewery. Great place to check out if your in the area.“

“Burns ales is on my very short list of breweries that I take visiting beer friends. Wayne is a master brewer and their staff is quite knowledgeable and friendly. Kolsch service on Sundays is one of my favorite days. Blueberry milk stout, field beer, lambics!!! So many unique styles you don't normally see in Denver.“

“This place was great , beer and food were fabulous and the atmosphere of the old bar and building very cool. Highly recommend as a place to visit.“

“The tour of the Tower. Truly great. Be sure to go soon to see it while it is still original and a bit rough. Then go again after all the bells and whistles have been completed. It was soooo cool to see the view, hear the recording of the last transmission from the tower to the last flight to leave Stapleton airport. Learn about the history. A great experience!!!“

“We popped in for a beer and Dawn was awesome!! She turned me onto their boozy slushes....youza! The lemon was hard not to chug, it was so refreshing and yummy. The beer here is great too, it's just fun to have a new goodie to drink as well.
Thanks Dawn for the great recommendation and the great chat, we'll be back to see you“

“Cool place to stop by, have a beer or two 🍻“

“Been meaning to come here for a while now. Came yesterday for happy hour after work and LOVED it. The taco food truck was great, the blonde coffee, beer was awesome, and the place was super dog friendly. Will absolutely be coming back and my dog, Oats will always be joining.“

“Great meet up spot. We really enjoyed the beer and the vibes!“

“Great service! The staff were so friendly and their beer is excellent!! I’d highly recommend this place to anyone!“

“this place is AMAZING. Highly recommend“

“Great place to come to work, or hang out with friends after work. I frequently come here as I live so close and it never disappoints. Bartenders are quick and kind and always has a lovely food truck. My favorite neighborhood spot. And super dog friendly.“

“great beer and staff will be going back“

“Love the vibes and intimacy of the venue def recommend“

“Good beer & awesome service .... THATS WHATS UP!“

“I've been here a couple dozen times now and it's always a great experience. The staff are all super friendly, the beers are tasty & unique and there's a great community vibe. My current favorite brews are the funk shwei and sour krush - both are very craveable!

Bonus: they have a rotating cast of great food trucks here (Barbosas BBQ is my current fave!) and in addition to sparkling water, they have an interesting selection of N/A drinks (hibiscus tea on tap, aqua frescas) if you're with someone who doesn't drink alcohol.“

“Out of the Barrel Taproom keeps me coming back for all the right reasons—great beer, tasty food, and an awesome staff. 🍻 Salina is an absolute gem and makes every visit better. Their Wednesday special is unbeatable, the kind of deal you plan your week around. Whether you’re in the mood for pizza or a sandwich, you can’t go wrong—everything hits the spot. It’s the perfect combo of chill vibes, good people, and flavors that never miss. Definitely a go-to hangout I’ll always recommend!“

“The best. Gabbie our waitress was amazing. The food was amazing. Will be back for brunch next weekend. We went for the prime rib steak. Cooked to perfection.“

“The team at Denver Beer Company went above and beyond for our wedding by creating a custom beer can that was truly one-of-a-kind! Not only is their beer fantastic, but their team is also incredibly creative and attentive. The custom design added a unique and personal touch to our big day, and our guests were blown away. We can’t thank them enough for making our celebration even more special. Highly recommend Denver Beer Company for any event—or just a great brew!“

“What a great place! First and foremost this brewery has delicious beers and seltzers! What we love equally about our experiences here are the owners and staff, everyone was so helpful, kind, patient, and "chill". Positive good vibes flowing.

When we learned that you can book the back rooms for private events, We chose this venue to host our Holiday Party and I could not have been more pleased. We had over 100 people, our set up included food tables, tables with chairs, and coolers with water; there was more than enough space to mingle. The projector and screen was perfect in setting a nice backdrop. We put together a collage of photos and videos highlighting great moments over the last year that looped during our event. The acoustics were surprisingly excellent!

We will continue to stop in to try new batches of beer and seltzers and will definitely use this venue again for private parties.“

“Awesome service at Raices, it wasn’t too busy when we went but the bartenders were super attentive and even let us sample some of the beer before buying! I ended up getting the horchata beer and I’d highly recommend! Great atmosphere and vibe.“
