27 Best Craft Breweries near Highlands Ranch

“I visited the new Prost Brewing in Northglenn this past Sunday for an event my business partner and I hosted. We had the most fantastic experience! Not only are the drinks amazing (I highly recommend the tangerine seltzer and the espresso martini), food was delicious, atmosphere lively, but staff was friendly and super easy to work with as well. We really appreciated management working with us to host our event here! We will absolutely be back!!!“

“The staff are amazing here and the beer is fantastic! My husband enjoyed their beers and company for a couple hours while I was getting a tattoo next door at The White Lotus. I stopped in for a beer after my tattoo. We will definitely go back.“

“Best nachos and carrot cake! Cajun fish tacos are awesome, so are the chicken fried chicken and the hatch chile burger. I like that they have healthy options like the bowls, too.“

“Great pizza, great brews, great place that hires people with special needs. please support them as often as you can as the work they do is so important to so many people!“

“Top craft breweries in the Denver Metro.“

“Casual atmosphere, incredible brews, and kombucha for those preferring NA...hard to beat Sanitas Brewing!“

“Good atmosphere and beer!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I tried their beer for the first time this past weekend, and I really enjoyed each of them. I also appreciated all of the gluten reduced options. I will keep that in mind when I'm traveling to Colorado with my wife.“

“Finally got a chance to visit this brewery, and it did not disappoint! The bar and seating are amazing, along with the large brewery. Lots of people enjoying the many high quality and great tasting beers. If you love craft beer you need to come here.“

“Very nice brewery and David served me up one of their small batch Honor Beer IPA’s. Very nice and a great cause to support.“

“Great place, great people.“

“I stopped into LandLocked Ales late last week for a libation and while the beer was great and the atmosphere enjoyable, something I witnessed is still weighing on my mind.

When I arrived, the service was excellent—the lady behind the bar was kind, attentive, and clearly knew her beers. She made the experience welcoming and fun. However, partway through the evening, there must’ve been a shift change and the bartender who replaced her was the complete opposite. He seemed visibly uninterested in being there and gave off the vibe that serving customers was more of a burden than his job.

As someone who’s worked in the food and beverage industry for years, I know firsthand how much a staff member can shape the guest experience. The difference between the two bartenders was stark, and unfortunately, it left a lasting impression.

Your beer is solid, and the setting has great potential—but if I walk in again and see that same guy behind the bar, I’d probably turn around and leave. Just wanted to share this in the hopes it helps improve the overall experience for future guests.“

“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.“

“Arta is the best experience for a moderately priced tequila I have ever tasted. Very smooth and an aroma that is exceptional!The Mexican restaurant I frequent very often is trying to order. I live in Sheridan Wyoming. We like good quality alcohol here!!! La Herradura, downtown Sheridan.“

“Wonderful place to drink and watch dogs, they have a nice patio, always a food truck option and a large selection of beer , it is never too crowded or too empty, I come here often and it’s always pleasant. Not a 5 starts review because quality of beer is a hit or miss depending on the batch they have at the moment.“

“An absolute delight! The patio is a great hang, the stout was fabulous:)“

“Love the Lithuanian Farmhouse Ale“

“Been a handful of times. Love the beer, food, and atmosphere. Even on a cold day it's nice to sit out under the heaters. Ive tried probably 12 of their beers and like all of them. Try mixing the juicy freak with the Princess yum yum (Both great on their own) to make a FREAKY PRINCESS. I could have 5 of them. In fact I have. The PB Graham cracker Porter right now is super good. Go now, it's never a bad time for beer“

“Great spot with tasty beer! Perfect for Colorado Pint Day 2023. 🤗🍺“

“Great pizza, great brews, great place that hires people with special needs. please support them as often as you can as the work they do is so important to so many people!“

“It was a very pleasant experience“

“First time had lunch today. Excellent food and service exceptional. Will be back!!“

“Excellent experience. I was expecting the standard bar first, food second brewpub restaurant. This definitely exceeded those expectations. I had a beer and the French dip with fries and both were excellent. I'll definitely be coming back.

Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is a bit less kid friendly than you would expect at a brewery. This place presents more of a restaurant than a bar vibe.“
