50 Best Craft Breweries near Lakewood

“Happy anniversary to a great brewery!! Great beers great people !!“

“Love the beers and the environment. Sam, Katie and the crew have made this place something special.“

“For my first visit, I was greeted with the warm aroma of a fresh mash, making me immediately thirst for a pint. I struggled to make a decision, as the selection is undeniably incredible!

For their hazy IPA, the Urban Lumberjack is not overly thick but offers a bitter, tangerine freshness. I loved that they carry the rare Cascadian Dark, IPA is the New Black, which delicately balances hop bitterness with a caramel malt backbone. I ultimately chose Hometown Coffee Stout, because it supports a local coffee roaster by delivering a deeply rich stout with amazing chocolate notes. I'll definitely return!“

“Love the beers and the environment. Sam, Katie and the crew have made this place something special.“

“Good atmosphere and beer!“

“Awesome neighborhood brewery (cue the theme to Cheers) in Lakewood, CO. Awesome staff, delicious brews, a few local munchies, and a come-as-strangers-leave-as-friends vibe. There are a lot of breweries in the Denver metro area, but this one is my fav (doesn't hurt that it is walking distance from my daughter's house).“

“The beer is awesome!!! The food is amazing!!! And the crew here especially bill are amazing!!!! Bill gets this place popping with his awesome attitude“

“We had my son and daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner at BJ’s in Lakewood. I had to plan this from 1600 miles away but the process was easy and we were able to communicate on all of the details via email. On the day of the event, the manager and staff (Jamilla and David especially) were very accommodating and helpful. Food was great, the drinks were varied and came quickly to our 50+ guests. Thank you so much.“

“Great spot to relax and enjoy some delicious beers and wine. My husband, son and I met Stephen the owner and he was such a great host.“

“So excited to see that this venue will be hosting StageFluid and can't wait to come to these shows!!!! Sake Brewery??? Count me in!“

“Great place to come to work, or hang out with friends after work. I frequently come here as I live so close and it never disappoints. Bartenders are quick and kind and always has a lovely food truck. My favorite neighborhood spot. And super dog friendly.“

“Delicious beer selection!🍺“

“Favorite place in Colorado. Great beers, rotating food trucks and amazing views. Despite all of the pros above, our favorite aspects of new terrain are all the cool dogs and events they put on.“

“We were treated like friends that have known each other for 20 years!“

“Brewability is an amazing, inclusive organization that has created a unique space where people with disabilities can not only engage in meaningful, gainful work, but can be supported, encouraged and included. Both employees and patrons with disabilities can be at ease and know that they are accepted, celebrated and cherished. Tracy and her team have created a treasure in the metro area. Their acceptance and celebration of all people is not only evident in their work, but also the colorful variety of entertainment they feature. From camp drag to live music, Brewability has something for everyone. The food is amazing, drinks are even better and the atmosphere is just the cherry on top!“

“One of the best places for legitimate beer not just in Denver, but pretty much anywhere I’ve been around the US.

Awesome cask ales, keg beers, and more.

Robert is a genuine dude and my family is always excited to see him at the bar.“

“Bruz is an exceptionally good brewery that stands out even in Denver's crowded beer scene for beers and service that are both a perfect 5 stars. They're the only brewery that makes Belgian beers that actually taste like they're from Belgium and they're continually innovating in interesting ways. There's always something new to try, or you can go with the range of classics, which span any beer tastes you might have. I've had many great visits to this location and enjoyed consistently good service.

The one (and only) time I had a problem during one of my visits, the owners of the brewery contacted me and made up for the problem in a way that went far beyond any expectations I had. I've heard many anecdotes of other local businesses in Denver not carring about customer complaints. Bruz responded to my problem with overwhelming kindness, which shows how much they care about their customers.

If you're reading this review to pick your next drinking spot, then please, look no further. A brewery that puts this much love into quality beer and customer happiness is a place you need to visit.“

“This place has it all! Women-owned and brewed! They have beer, they have cocktails, they have coffee, and they have the best wine deal in town! The food is exceptional - I highly recommend the pretzels with the beer cheese that’s made with their beer! They have ramen, pulled pork and jack fruit sandwiches, and charcuterie! They also have events every Thursday between trivia, themed-trivia, bingo, music bingo, and even on the rare occasion - a spelling bee! The possibilities are endless and so are the friendships! Make sure to enter through the alley!“

“When I lived in City Park, I loved going to the Bruz location off York St. When my husband and I moved to the suburbs, we were thrilled to learn about their larger location off Pecos because it's near our neighborhood. The beer is great, Bruz has a nice atmosphere, and the staff are always really nice. We love this place!“

“stopped in last night - out of town visitors, and we had some good beer. Our bartender, Tim, was very knowledgeable and helpful.“

“great beer and staff will be going back“

“We popped in for a beer and Dawn was awesome!! She turned me onto their boozy slushes....youza! The lemon was hard not to chug, it was so refreshing and yummy. The beer here is great too, it's just fun to have a new goodie to drink as well.
Thanks Dawn for the great recommendation and the great chat, we'll be back to see you“

“Great beer and often has good food trucks“

“All of the musicians that played were amazingly talented & sounded great. They weren't so loud that you couldn't have a conversation which I GREATLY APPRECIATE! (Thank you, Rickoli.) Of course the beer was phenomenal, as always. && the owner/brewer has mad saxophone skills! 🎷“

“This place is such a fun experience. The location, views, the open patio space make it a great meetup spot! The brews are refreshing with a selection to suit all palettes from IPA to Belgian to German Lager, it's got everyone covered. And, food trucks fill your belly! I enjoy it most especially during the summer for the patios, but it's a cozy spot during the winters, as well. The place does get packed, so be sure to plan accordingly with parking and otherwise.“

“The Brewer really knows Czech style beers, and he executes them well! Staff is friendly and the tap room is open and inviting.“

“Great place. We will go back for beer and burgers.“

“Yummy!! This place was fun and amazing!“

“that CZECH DAM PILSNER, I tell ya! I am in a weekly church group where we meet up in different breweries for a couple of hours and engaging discussions. Only in Colorado, home of The Great American Beer Festival, right? That said, this place has always been one of our favorite places.

The staff is friendly and has even remembered me, though I'm the rarest of regulars with my group. There always seems to be multiple meetups happening, but the space is big enough to accommodate, especially when it's warm for the little front patio. Even with the noise of people, it's still comfortable to talk and have a great time. For a party of two or a get down and party to raise good cheer, this is a terrific and TASTY place to tip one back!“

“There are very few breweries in CO or elsewhere who make awesome ESBs and even fewer who offer them on Nitro. My first time in Crazy Mountain I was blown away by this. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!“

“This place was great , beer and food were fabulous and the atmosphere of the old bar and building very cool. Highly recommend as a place to visit.“

“Great service! The staff were so friendly and their beer is excellent!! I’d highly recommend this place to anyone!“

“River North has incredible staff that is matched only by the beer. One of the best barrel age programs in the country while also being able to make incredible beers of all styles“

“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.“

“I just ate the 2 best tacos I've ever had. The sauce is phenomenal. They didn't even give me a hard time about wearing a Packers shirt in Bronco country! Highly recommend!!!“

“🍺 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. 🍻“

“this place is AMAZING. Highly recommend“

“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!“

“Good beer & awesome service .... THATS WHATS UP!“

“Loved the live music by Michael Strappelli and bingo night! Staff is extremely friendly and very family friendly atmosphere.“

“Did s beer and pie pairing. It was yummy 😋“

“Amazing staff at Spangalang! Norman and Erica always greeting us like family. Their bartenders and crew are on point and go above and beyond. The beverages are spectacular and the live music is spot on. I highly recommend this spot for a nice evening of spirits and live music.“

“Great atmosphere and fantastic beers and seltzers. They also have non-alcoholic beer and mocktails. Big screen TV to watch the games and food trucks almost every day. Outdoor patio with gas fireplace tables for those cold nights and umbrellas for the hot nights.“
