25 Best Craft Breweries near Highlands Ranch

“I'm a German beer guy. You can't do better than Prost for German style pilsners, lagers, Helles, and Kolsh. I'm not a wheat or dark beer drinker so I can't talk to those but what I do like, they have, and they brew it well. Overall, a nice piece of Germany in Colorado.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good atmosphere and beer!“

“Wow, this place has the best service ever! I’ve been here plenty of times, and every time I come, the staff is so kind and accommodating to everyone. The drinks are A+, and the patio area is to die for. Such a great place to go! ❤️❤️“

“First time here. Nice, clean open space with great outdoor seating. Fun relaxing vibes and the staff is really nice and friendly. Beers are really tasty and they have fun events there too. When I was there they were doing bingo. I'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Delicious, great quality food. The staff are so kind and helpful in reserving tables for large parties. They had great options of entrees. I ordered the seared salmon the first night, a cocktail, and a grilled chicken sandwich the next day. The breakfast options are also delicious.
I love the vibe of the restaurant as well, it sits in the atrium with a very high ceiling, lots of seating and a bar.“

“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.“

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

“Updating review to 5 stars from 4. Good patio, good vibes, great for kids, great neighborhood spot. Food is good. It’s not the best craft beer, but it’s consistently solid. Somewhat overpriced, but in line with everywhere else I guess these days.“

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

“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.“
