About Westbound & Down Brewing Company

Westbound & Down Brewing Company is a friendly and welcoming brewery located in an interesting part of Denver. The atmosphere is relaxed, open, and comfortable, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy good conversation with friends. The space features a beautiful outdoor common area, perfect for those who enjoy sitting outside, though shade can sometimes be a challenge during the day. Inside, the aesthetic is light and airy, with limited indoor seating that includes barstools and a two-top table. The environment is kid-friendly and dog-friendly, adding to its casual, community vibe.

The brewery offers a terrific selection of beers, especially their West Coast IPA’s, which are highly recommended. They also have a variety of styles, including hazy IPAs, and the beers are well brewed. Service is quick and knowledgeable, with staff ready to help and provide information, although posting ABVs could improve the experience. While the brewery does not serve food, there are many food options nearby in the Dairy block, making it easy to pair a good beer with a meal. To-go cans are affordable, and the overall prices are decent.

Though the atmosphere inside is somewhat minimal and the bar service limited to a small bar with one bartender at a time, the overall vibe remains friendly and authentic. Despite some minor inconveniences like outdoor seating in the sun or waiting for service during busy times, Westbound & Down is highly recommended for anyone seeking quality Colorado craft beer in a relaxed setting.
