Thank you so much.“

“Had a fantastic time we had about 35 Special Olympics basketball athletes and family members The staff is amazing and the food 🥘 s fantastic“

“Excellent brewery with wonderful staff to chat with. They certainly have something on tap for everyone including multiple NA options in cans. The outdoor seating was well shaded and clean but I really enjoyed the vibe inside. Very chill and laid back atmosphere where you can come as you are and enjoy some good brews.“

“Their brewery is such a fun spot, their patio has a cute rustic vibe. They also have some really nice beers. I was not familiar with cask conditioned beer, but I'm now a fan! Especially their Gilpin Black Gold, London Porter. The owners are stand up guys and genuinely care about supporting their community.“

“We recently had our daughter and son in-law's after party at Bruz Friday night. Tim is the MAN! All our guests had an amazing evening celebrating the newlyweds. We brought Blake back to DJ, too. We had Bruz rocking. Thank you Ryan, Tim, and Blake!!“

“The environment, the decor, the vibes, the COFFEE 😩, and of course, the beer, are all so amazing at Alley Brews!! The little alley way brewery feels like your friends decked out garage, and everyone that works there feels like your friends. They are so kind and personable, it makes me want to be there all the time. Definitely stop by alley brews for a coffee or a beer, they’re delicious, but really if you just want to go to a place that makes you feel comfortable and welcomed. Couldn’t recommend this place enough!! 🙌“

“What a great brewery to hang out!“

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

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

“If you care about Belgian-style beer, Bruz is the best place in Colorado. Les Incompetents is a standout — layered, balanced, and the kind of beer that makes you slow down and pay attention instead of just drinking it—and reminds me of French dishes. The barrel-aged quad is the other one to chase: rich, warming, and complex without ever getting cloying. Both are worth going out of your way for.

The people are just as good as the beer. Kristin was clearly slammed the last time I was in and still managed to be gracious and on top of everything — no small feat. She and Carl (and the other staff, I would list them but I don’t. Know their names 😅 Yea) were also the ones who filled me in on the 10th anniversary, which I would have completely missed otherwise. That kind of hospitality is what turns a good taproom into a regular haunt.

I’ve been coming here often enough to say this with confidence: I have never had a bad food truck at Bruz. Not once. Whoever’s booking them deserves praise.

Congratulations on 10 years. Here’s to many more.“

“Nice folks with good beer in the heart of Downtown Denver. Food menu is limited but sandwiches are on-point. The BLT I had hit the spot. Great selection of local beers as well as other treats such as pickle shots and amaro on-tap. Bartenders are friendly and there is usually a small but interesting crowd during the day.“

“Great beer fun location, a definite must visit.“

“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“

“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“

“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! 🎷“

“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.“

“Fun brewery with a nice (dog-friendly) patio in the back. The blonde stout is my favorite, it tastes somewhat like a Belgian tripel, if that's your thing.

Looks like they also have trivia a couple of times a month and they show sports games.“

“I just love this place. Staff are amazing and work their butts off. Wish there were misters out back.“

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

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

“Thanks to horrible I-70 traffic, I accidentally found Wanderment Brewing — and what a discovery. Tucked away in an industrial area, this nano-brewery is run by owner/head brewer John Flaherty & his wife Melanie, who greeted us dressed as a Samurai Warrior (yes, really).
The space may look dark and desolate at first, but the vibe is welcoming with rock and metal playing low in the background. John makes you feel like family as he walks you through his beers, each crafted with precision and balance. Only 9 taps, but every pour is excellent — especially his Saisons and hoppy Double/Triple Dry-Hopped creations.
This is a hidden gem in Denver and one of the best brewery experiences I’ve had in Colorado. If you’re local or just visiting, do yourself a favor and stop by.
🦩🦩🦩🦩......Flamingo Bonus now in tap is a Quad Hopped Hazy TIPA, that will blow your mind to another dimension of life 🤯. John might be a real life Jedi Master, lowkey!!!“

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