28 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!“

“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.“

“Good atmosphere and beer!“

“Coal Mine Brewery is an absolute standout! As the owner of True Living Fitness, I visited to explore a potential referral exchange and ended up having a fantastic experience. The staff went above and beyond, treating me to a couple of free beers while we talked business, and I couldn’t help but notice how incredibly dog-friendly this place is. It’s not every day you find a spot where you can enjoy great craft beer, meet friendly locals, and bring your dog along to enjoy the fun. The relaxed, welcoming vibe here makes it a must-visit for anyone—whether you’re a beer lover, a dog owner, or both. Highly recommended for its top-notch brews and warm community feel. Cheers to Coal Mine Brewery! ?“

“Great local taproom with an excellent beer lineup, especially for those that dig the hazy IPA. The staff is personable and the vibe and soundtrack are chill e.g., Rebelution, Iration, Trevor Hall, Incubus, etc. If it’s still on tap when you stop in, the Scythe Harvest (pumpkin ale) is one of the best pumpkin beers we’ve had.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place, great people.“

“This is our go to brewery while the kids are next door training. All staff here are amazing. We have been coming here for about a year now and have developed great relationships with John and Linzie! So happy we stumbled across Half Penny! ♥️“

“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. 🤗🍺“

“It was a very pleasant experience“

“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.“
