33 Best Craft Breweries near Niwot

“Cute brewery with great beer. We had the Dark Eyes and it was delicious. Nice relaxed atmosphere with adorable cuckoo clocks everywhere. Friendly patrons and bartender. What more could you ask for 😊“

“We found this place in the Hop Passport and have been here a few times now. This is an amazing place with a great location. It is a very well laid out house with tons of rooms and bathrooms. The exterior is also well laid out with tables and chairs and a deck I the front lawn and then a garage bar as well.“

“Very nice place. Clean. Folks there super nice! Beers are delicious! We had a great time. Definitely would go back!“

“We love this place so much! Beers are solid, good vibes and we can bring our dogs with us which we love! Autumn served us tonight and she was just wonderful! So attentive and very kind, and she gave us a sample of her favorite combo sour beer mix and it was so good! not that we need a reason to come back but I hope she is here the next time we come!“

“A wee little taste of one of your unique offerings without buying 5oz. would be nice, otherwise a cool, local joint with a comfy patio. 4.85392 outta 5 stars. 😘🍺“

“We were unlucky enough to have a clutch cable snap on my motorcycle, but lucky enough that it happened not too far from Spirit Hound. The staff were amazing. They brought us iced water and checked on us while we made towing arrangements (it was super hot outside!). We decided to make the best of a bad thing and wait in the distillery. The cocktails were incredible, the charcuterie was amazing, and the staff and atmosphere were great. Despite the situation, we thoroughly enjoyed our accidental afternoon at Spirit Hound and we look forward to returning on purpose one day soon!“

“Love the place and great vibes - Pale ale is the best“

“Great place with great people!“

“One of the best breweries in Colorado is right here in Lafayette. Wonderful variety of Belgian style ales as well as crisp lagers. Cozy atmosphere inside, large patio, great staff.“

“The best local spot! Come for the beer stay for the experience.“

“By happenstance, my first afternoon stop during my stay in Boulder, and Upslope wasn't a poor choice. There's a good selection of interesting brews on tap--plenty of IPAs if you're into that--and a respectable food menu, too. I'm particularly fond of the sours they have available at the time of writing. My review might have otherwise been swayed by an overzealous staff member clearing away my dish when I'd only stepped away to briefly wash up, but they offered to remake it and provided a complimentary item off the tap list to make up for the inconvenience. All in all, quite good, and they handled the aforementioned conundrum admirably. In my books, worth a visit, time permitting.“

“Love Wibby - beer is excellent and the atmosphere is so non-pretentious. Kid friendly too. Make the trip to Wibby and you won’t be disappointed!“

“🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Asher is a happy little brewery in Boulder that might get overlooked. It is an unassuming and super friendly. They had 10 beers on for my stop plus some seltzers. Beers included: green kolsch, coffee kolsch, cherry blonde, amber, rasberry wheat, pale ale, juicy Ipa, hazy ipa, plus a few others. Everyone was friendly and wanted to know where you are from....but clearly had had a lot of local supporters. I plan to stop again when I am in th area.“

“Upslope Brewing is now North Sky Brewing is an absolute hidden gem with a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere and unreal mountain views that make every sip unforgettable. Make sure to say hi to Jules behind the bar, whose incredible hospitality and energy make you feel right at home. The tap list is phenomenal, highlighted by the Flint Mexican Lager, which is brilliantly crisp and refreshing, and the Second Wave IPA, which packs bold, aromatic citrus and pine notes. It is that rare combination of world-class beer, a tight-knit community feel, and breathtaking scenery that makes this place truly special. I am already planning my next trip back and bringing all my friends with me!“

“Had a Howdy at a concert and not only was it delicious but the gentleman who gave it to me was amazing. The concert was wrapping up and the only available option was coffee and whiskey but he helped me out with a beer even though they were closing up. Life saver“

“Before they opened their downtown taproom, this was the only place to get Crystal Springs beer. Even now, here is where the brewing magic happens. The original location here is much less popular and you're more likely to get a seat. Great beer, good people.“

“Stopped by after moving into the area and Finn was amazing! She was super knowledgeable about the menu, had great recommendations, and was a fun conversation for a solo diner like myself. Looking forward to coming back to try the seasonal rotations! Also the fried green beans were 🔥“

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs. Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp via her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Great people here and even better beer. I finally got to drink one of the best beers in the country for the 1st time in nearly a decade( they don't sell it on my side of the country anymore) Black Jack Porter! Bought a few mega cans and can't wait to crack them open.“

“Finally found it!! Abo’s on Pearl was best in High School, I had a fat boy calzone in Jersey, “pizza” in Rome in the 80’s, Cosmo’s in Lafayette last week (bad experience, too salty!) and finally, MainStage Brewery slice of pizza on Friday! Awesome!!! You nailed it!! Perfect crust! Perfect sauce! Perfect cheese! It is so hard to find anything not salted into stroke inducing zone, glad I found you, you’re perfect and delicious! Keep Lyons small and stop by for a bite, it’s even better than Beaujos, they went salty. If you’re tired of ringing ears from high salt in everything, eat here, skip the pepperoni, it’s perfect without it. Thanks you guys. Oh, be prepared for not too much attention, not too many niceties, they may actually be East Coast but Lyons is kinda like that anyhow.“

“Avery Brewing Company is a great brewery stop with a big, comfortable space and plenty of beer to choose from. The tap list has a nice mix of styles, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s an easy place to spend a couple of hours with friends. The food is solid too, so it works just as well for a full meal as it does for a quick beer stop.“

“My new favorite drink! 🙌

As someone who can't drink alcohol for medical reasons (though I wasn't much of a drinker), and also needs to keep calories low and gluten-free, Hoplark beverages are an absolute game-changer. They're not just refreshing, they're extraordinary.

I’m so grateful that my favorite beverage comes from a company that's all about community! 🙏

Their leadership is truly special, and it’s great to collaborate with a brand that shares values of wellness.

As a healthcare provider at Network Wellness Center, I can confidently say that Hoplark is our go-to drink for both our team and our community events. It’s fantastic to support a local Boulder business that’s involved in the community and shares our health-focused values.

A true winner. 🙌“

“Great selection. Good any season“

“Our go-to place for lunch when we visit our daughter in Boulder, who thankfully introduced us to the place a couple of months ago! Been there four times. Great burgers, great bowls, fabulous spicy fried chicken sandwich. Service great...never rushed....everything always comes out hot, lookin great, and tasting to match!..Clean attractive place...love it! Hard to find nowadays!..“

“Chicken and Beer were on point“

“I often eat alone and bring my dog with me. They are very accommodating and I have always had a very positive experience. Not to mention the food is really good and the red sangria 👍. They have a dog chicken breast as well. 🤩 Don't leave without having their cheesecake of the day. ❤️“

“Found this place randomly.....looking for nonchain restaurant. Awesome service along with awesome food. The burgers are soooooo good. You will eat ALL of it for sure! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Colorado to make this a stop. You will not be disappointed.“

“Best Chicken in East Boulder!
The beers were great too. Got a family meal do that we could have leftovers.
The greens are killer and the Mac'n cheese is to die for.
Casual atmosphere with fantastic and friendly service. A new favorite for us.
Lisa was or bartender/server. Nice lady. She knew what she was talking about!! Thanks Lisa!!“

“Fantastic five course German Style Beer dinner tonight in Boulder. So yummy and great pairing of beer to the food.“

“The wings and fries I ordered to-go today, were absolutely amazing. Thank you 🥰“

“Amazing food and a very professional, lively staff that work well with each other! Have had a few bad experiences at other locations in town compared to other cities I’ve lived in as far as feeling unwelcomed, but this place is one of the only locations that actually makes me miss working in the food industry. The fact they don’t accept cards is a little strange to me since I believe all businesses should accept any form of money. Nevertheless, still good food and good vibes.“

“Usually, this is a very good place. The food is excellent. The service is excellent I just didn’t like my breadsticks not coming out on time.“
