“🍺 Mad Mack Brewing is a must-stop if you care about truly great beer.

There are a lot of breweries in the Denver area, but very few truly great brewers. Bob Mack is one of the best. The variety here is impressive—everything from classic styles to more adventurous pours—and the standout part is that every beer is good, while most are genuinely great.

The beers are balanced, flavorful, and true to their roots. You can taste the craft and discipline in each pint—nothing gimmicky, just excellent brewing done right.

The vibe is like a local beer hall: a perfect mix of regulars, locals, and visitors, all enjoying great beer together. It feels welcoming, unpretentious, and authentic.

They’re also updating the patio for 2026, so stay tuned—this place is only getting better.

Don’t miss Mad Mack’s, and make sure to say hi to Bob. 🍻“

“After 50 years of sipping your froth I would like to put my input on how yrs back there was Coors Dry, Artic Ice to name a couple, that I miss and bet there's more out there who remember that in the 90's. More flavor especially Artic Ice. This would've been a nice occasion to bring it back for a while....Anybody else have these thoughts?“
