If you love great Sour beers, then this is your place! It was a great experience with excellent craft brews. I had the Cherry and my wife had the Mango. Both were delicious but my favorite was by far the cherry.

Really cool spot in the quaint little town of Paonia that specializes in barrel aged SOURS. If you aren't a huge fan of sour beers, I wouldn't suggest driving all the way out here, but if you are passing through you should definitely stop and check it out.

Great atmosphere, killer sour beers, beautiful outdoor patio. Worth stopping by and checking it out! The owners are friendly and knowledgeable. It's not IPA (per the picture lol), but they have great flavors!

Cy Dickey

Every single beer we tried was fantastic! I love to see a place that not only specializes in sour beer, but brews it incredibly well. Had to buy some to go because it was just that good.

Everything we tried was fantastic, and it's made with hops, grain, and fruit from the valley. Don't miss the dry-hopped Farmhouse!

Perfect little patio to sip delicious sour beer and watch the day set. They don't serve food except for (tasty) spicy chips, and that works perfectly since it helps you drink more of that great beer (which is really very good, in case that's not perfectly clear). And if that's not enough, the friendly cat that oversees the premises will check in with you.Update one year later 6/18/22: just as delicious, just as fun + live music. The barrel aged sours remain my favorites, the peach sour also was great.

A hidden gem! This barrel house uses locally sourced ingredients and fruit to create a wild range of delicious and complex barrel aged sour beers. Shawn is passionate about his craft and extremely friendly. This is a must stop for any sour beer drinkers; even the tasters say "This is Not IPA." Sit beside barrels or outside on the patio. Ask about Elsa Saison and enjoy!

Delicious sours that hit all the levels of sour and all the varieties you could imagine! Knowledgeable, staff who are passionate about what they do and excited to share their labor of love!
