50 Best Craft Breweries in Denver

“Love this place!! So many great brews on tap and such a beautiful space it’s turned in to! I love the fact they have different things and events going on all the time in addition to being able to order food from EAT HERE directly to my seat!!“

“This is a great place! Just know that the entrance is to the left of the main entrance as you are pulling into the hotel's parking lots. After you go in the rotating doors, the restaurant is straight ahead and slightly left.

I'm at a friend here for lunch and she had one of the burgers what she said was really good but slightly undercooked. I had the bowl of green chili which was a great portion and not too much. It was super delicious and they said it was their best seller.

If you are a root beer lover like me, just know that they either have cans of Shasta root beer or Mug root beer on tap.

They have a great selection of rotating beers. And the lighting is amazing then. There's lots of natural lighting. There's lots of open space as well. It wasn't very crowded there and I'd say it was maybe 15% full during lunch. This made it very quiet and easy to have good conversations.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are two or three wheelchair parking spots available in front of the entrance.“

“I came because it was close to my gate and convenient. I was pleasantly surprised as the food was perfection. But I have to comment on the service. Mark W was amazing. He was fast, efficient, and friendly. He even helped me with directions to my new gate as it had changed. I wish all airport personnel were as great as him. He made my stop in Denver truly relaxing and happy.“

“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.“

“Bruz on Fax? Man, what a soulless, antiseptic void they’ve conjured up there. It’s like they took all the thrill, chaos, and unpredictability that music venues are supposed to have, vacuum-sealed it, and left behind a shiny, dead-eyed shell. Sterile is the right word—it’s as if the owners picked up a how-to manual on making a place that looks cool for Instagram but kills any sense of adventure or joy in the real, gritty world.

You walk in, and the vibe hits you like a dentist's waiting room—bland, polished, and utterly devoid of anything that makes you feel alive. The music? Might as well be Muzak echoing in the bowels of an airport bathroom. It’s not that the bands weren’t trying—it’s that the venue snuffs out any energy they might’ve brought with its clinical precision and uptight atmosphere.

And the crowd? A sorry mix of social media zombies too busy with their selfies to notice the music, too sanitized to care about anything but appearing at the next cookie-cutter spot. It’s a disgrace to the concept of live music—a performance art that’s supposed to stir the soul, not spoon-feed you corporate “vibes” on a cold, emotionless platter.

Thompson would've burned it to the ground, or at least taken a flamethrower to the neon signs. Skip Bruz unless you’re into places that make you feel like you’ve died and gone to suburbia hell. If you want a real venue, one that bleeds energy and roars with the sound of humanity, this is not your pit stop.

But if Belgium Brews is your thing, this is your spot.“

“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!“

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

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

“We had great beers here!“

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

“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!“

“I thought about being mad at this place, but fortunately, I’m not allergic to beer—and that’s all they serve. They’ve absolutely nailed their concept so I can confirm: it’s fantastic. And you know what? I respect the hell out of the commitment. When I’ve asked if they’ll ever taint their pristine Belgian menu with wine or seltzer, I’ve always gotten a confident, majestic no (3+ times!) Can you believe that? I’m guessing they get asked that a lot and are tired of repeating themselves, but honestly, instead of caving to peer pressure, they listen to their patrons and double down on what they do best—making beer lovers like me feel like I’ve found my people. With their friendly staff and brilliant brews, there’s never a dull option. (I recommend Blucifer!) I’m always complimented on my impeccable beer choice!

These days, finding a brewery that hasn’t sold its soul to hard seltzer is like spotting a unicorn in the wild. Even the smallest, most trend chasing breweries have cracked the mystical code of liquor licensing and thrown a pity seltzer or other watered down “beverages” on the menu. But not Bruz! No, no, Bruz remains a shining beacon of beer purity, ensuring that anyone walking in expecting a White Claw is met with a polite but firm reality check!

So now, whenever my friends and I want to grab a drink, Bruz is always my first suggestion. When people ask me if they should try it, I tell them to stop wasting time and go immediately. I secretly hope it expands into an empire. I doubt it will, but one can dream! Also, they like dogs and let them inside! Who can be mad at that!“

“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!“

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

“Really good beer. Not a huge selection, it’s clear they focus on quality over quantity. Super friendly staff and nice environment in the tap room. If you’re staying near the airport for business/pleasure and want a delicious pint come here. Also good selection of food trucks available all month long per their schedule.“

“This place is awesome! I genuinely think it’s one of the best and most variety driven tap lists in all of Denver. A complete hidden gem. They always have very on point traditional beers, really cool experimental beers, and a few really big beers (barrel aged stouts, heavy Belgians, etc).

You have to try the Pucker Nuts (Lemon Meringue, Pistachio Sour) it’s incredible!

They have a bunch of board games and video games setup for people to use.

If you haven’t come here, you’re missing out. The staff is always friendly and you really get a community feel out of this place. 10/10 would send anybody here.“

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

“great sours. worth the visit“

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

“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.“

“Absolute Gem Of A Brewery In Downtown Denver brewing some of the best beer in the entire state of Colorado! Exceptionally delicious brews throughout the well rounded beer menu. The taproom is outstanding! Spacious and perfectly appointed to represent a lodge / large log cabin. Fun and authentically friendly bar staff.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Everything about this place ROCKS!!!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of experiencing top-notch service at Cerveceria, all thanks to my bff who works as a cicerone. If you're looking for an awesome bartender who enhances your brewery visit, Drea is the one to seek out here. Even though I don't drink, I like coming to hang out because it's such a fun environment. She has the best hospitality and is friendly to everyone who comes in. Also come for Bingo nights with Oscar, you won't be disappointed!“

“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“

“Few breweries offer as many delicious non-beer options as Raíces, in addition to flavorful food trucks, and an abundance of indoor-outdoor space, plus parking, this is the perfect brewery to bring your family to in Denver. We just hosted our daughter's 3rd birthday here and the kids had a BLAST while all the adults enjoyed hanging out, drinking beer while kiddos ran around. I can't recommend this warm, welcoming gathering space run by kind folks enough. Gracias, Raíces!“

“Wish I knew about this place sooner! Really great beer selection with choices won't see very often. They now have Little Arthur's serving food which is absolutely incredible. Go here with 4 friends and split the pizza. The pesto fries were an unexpected delight.“

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

“great beer and staff will be going back“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“I saw a review on crypto investment that changed my story for good. I never believed it at first but after much convincing by my account manager in the person of Mrs Craig Vanessa I decided to give it a trial with just $5,000 even though there was a lower cost of investment. Starting with this, I made a profit of $35,500 in the first week. I am sharing this here for those that may have an interest. Mrs. Craig Vanessa is genuine and her style of trade is unique. Completely top-notch and different from the rest. Contact her today and you will not regret it. Send her a DM on WhatsApp via the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“A porter is a rare find in Denver. Both the Graham Cracker Porter and PB Graham Cracker Porter are delicious and brewed right here. Unfortunately they are served ice cold, so you’ll have to wait a while to enjoy the chocolate, caramel, molasses, and peanut flavors that come out when they’re room temp.“

“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.“

“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.“

“5 ⭐️ for the beer4 ⭐️ coz no food options availableThis brewery was at a corner location with a baby shower happening when we went there in the evening. The weather was chilly and the beers we tasted were really good and made us a tipsy which was a great start to our 1 week long trip in Colorado. We tried the beer sample flight and went with beer mimosa which when you hear is a weird drink but was a great option when u like both beer and mimosa. They don’t have anything to eat but a pizza van comes there in the evening, but we did not try pizza as we had another plans.“

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