“Super cozy brewery in Thornton. Didn't catch the ladies name who was working but she was unbelievably nice! Made us feel like we were at home. The brewery has a ton of seating. Games as well and a nice little outdoor seating area out back too. The pumpkin pie cream ale was delicious! They even top it with powdered sugar. Can't wait to come back to try more of their beers!“
“The beer here is very unique but I found a few that were amazing. The names of them are even more fun. We had snacks too and wowzers everything was delicious! The staff was wonderful and friendly. It's family owned and they are proud of their establishment and treat their guest amazing. The patio was such a nice, relaxing area (until it started raining). Will defiantly be back!“
“Rarely do I find myself compelled to leave reviews, but after experiencing the transcendent "n8r's t8r potato stout [nitro]," I couldn't resist. This brew redefined my understanding of excellence. Despite not typically favoring stouts, this one blew my socks off.Additionally, I must emphasize the extraordinary individuals behind this place, Linds and n8. Their passion and dedication shine through in every sip.Thank you both for enriching our community with your unparalleled craft. Your impact is immeasurable, and we are truly grateful for your presence.With heartfelt appreciation and admiration, we salute and love you.“
“We have been visiting this brewery for years now, it's always been an awesome local hangout spot. Whether you're grabbing a casual beer with friends or coming to one of their events, it is always a good vibe. The interior has lots of seating, a line for the beer tenders that is organized and easy to spot (moved relatively quickly if it is long). Outdoors there is a lot of seating as well as an outdoor bar area. They're known for their blood orange IPA, it's a perfect recipe (not too IPA-y). I've enjoyed every beer I've tried, most recently "bananarama" was quite a hit. They have food trucks and their own snacks, and great beer. Staff are generally friendly or friendly enough, I've never had any issues. Dog friendly in and outside which is a plus!Have gone to a few events they have had, St Pattys day,and just recently, Halloween.They partnered with a family-owned haunted house company to put on an awesome brief haunted house experience with a free beer with admission. They put on a show despite the cold weather (six flags closed today for the cold so we ended up here and they happened to have their own haunted house attraction). I really commend the staff, they did a great job with such a small space, it felt just right and I loved how it ends inside the brewery. Definitely check this place out if you live in the Broomfield area! Even when they're busy, there is always room for a few more, which is more than you could say about a lot of breweries nearby.“
“Sometimes with beer involving Strawberry it's just too simply sweet and comes across more like a soda rather than a beer. But in the case Steve and I had with Lady Justice Brewing we found that nothing was too unwieldy when it comes to balance with their Strawberry LaLager. The flavors were balanced quite well and was not reminiscent of a soda pop but a creative lager. Highlights in flavor involve Strawberry with a sparking and aromatic essence. Definitely a nice crisp flavor as well. This beer was fun to drink and I appreciate the seriousness taken to make a well balanced lager that could tip towards a very sugary drink but didn't.“
“My first time here, this space used to be something else... Always a stop before Ogden shows. I was delightfully surprised when they had a well-made ESB on Nitro! This is my favorite style of beer, and (US) brewers tend to f*** it up. This one did NOT disappoint. Owner & staff were super-nice, their beers are stand-up. Before a show, or just if you live in Denver, check this place out!“
“Always friendly, always knowledgeable, Billy’s staff does a phenomenal job every time to make sure all guests have a memorable experience. This place is great for a date night, Dim Sum Brunch with friends and family, or laughs for comedy on the weekends. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Definitely make it a stop on your Denver adventure.“
“If you want great Belgian beer, look no further. Too many craft breweries try to do too many styles and most don’t do it well. Not at Bruz. Both locations have friendly staff and have good vibes. My favorite beers are the Belgian strings and Tripels…watch out tho…they are delicious but strong.“
“Been meaning to come here for a while now. Came yesterday for happy hour after work and LOVED it. The taco food truck was great, the blonde coffee, beer was awesome, and the place was super dog friendly. Will absolutely be coming back and my dog, Oats will always be joining.“
“I've never seen so many sour beers on a menu. I got a flight of four and I could've still had another flight full of sours. I love sours so I appreciate the menu here. All my beers were solid. I enjoyed the atmosphere in the brewery and the bartender was welcoming and friendly.“
“In the neighborhood and looking for a craft brewery. Tried a flight to start. Not a bad one in the taster. Personal faves were the hazy IPA, Amber and coffee stout. Saw a customer with a pink beverage that looked so festive for New Year’s Eve. Gave the cherry sour a chance. Best sour ever. Not so acidic that I couldn’t finish it. Perfectly balanced. And lends itself beautifully to the hint of cherry. And I did say it was pretty, right? Another plus, the most dog friendly brewery ever!!!“
“We went to Cheluna to watch UK basketball game in NCAA March Madness. The bar tenders were amazing helping us find the right channel then switched it over. Everyone enjoyed their beers / hard ciders and the pretzel while we watched the game. Thanks for making our first experience in your establishment wonderful.“
“Seedstock IS family to me. I can’t get here often but always enjoy it when I do. I’m also not one to try many of the brews available here but Jason (our talented brewer) will find just the right one for me. I’ve brought friends to Seedstock and they enjoy all of Jason’s brews!❤️“
“This is my new favorite Colorado brewery. Absolutely killer stouts. Not just standard barrel aged stuff; truly unique strong stouts with complex flavors and huge variety. Any fans of Oskar blues, Avery, the bruery (California) would be wise to scope this place out. Bonus: there is a rad climbing gym a block away“
“The coolest, homiest vibes for breweries in Denver! Bartenders are so friendly, specifically Emily, Chaen, JunBug, Olivia, and Nathan. The owners love telling you about their beer and helping you understand what certain beer types mean. Every beer is a freaking hit, props to their brewers I met, Ryan and Steve. Best crew and best beer!“
“I cannot believe I live just up the street and I have never been until now. I go to a ton of breweries so its weird I never went. I thought it would be empty at 2 on a Friday but it was not and it was hopping by 5. Most social brewery I have ever been to and that is saying a lot. I talked to all kinds of people with a bunch of WI people in there. Very friendly and cool with real regular type peeps. Funky industrial kinda area old school little brewery. Beer was solid. Also can get cheap taco truck next door with $99 taco Tuesday. And to top it off lots of 80s arcade games with lots of pinball. Outdoor area. Can bring dogs inside. Secret gem.“
“The beer was good. A bit more expensive for beer than I care to pay, but it was a good albeit expensive beer. The pizza on the other hand wasn’t anything special. The plain cheese was 4.50/slice and was mediocre.The staff was friendly, but at times was forgotten.“
“Second Dawn opened a year ago and is a great local spot to meet up with friends. Their trivia nights on Wednesdays are fun. Good selection of drinks, including nonalcoholic options. They have limited food offerings, but you can bring your own food, which is so rare and awesome (especially as someone with food restrictions at war with most bar food). Great addition to the neighborhood!“
“One of my favorite breweries in Denver. The Czech style beers were all fantastic. Really enjoyed how knowledgeable all of the staff were as they shared what makes these beers so incredible.Additionally, the tap room is absolutely stunning. The most beautiful brewery in Denver, in my opinion. All in all, I can’t recommend Cohesion enough. And don’t forget to do a Mliko shot before leaving!“
“I went here and got a flight to try several of their beers. My favorites were the red saison and their pastry sour, but everything was enjoyable. Most of their beers are crazy combinations of flavors that end up working great together. You can tell that they work hard, and their passion for craft brewing really shows. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a new local brew to try!“
Distilleries • $
“Spirit Hound Distillers offers an exceptional experience with a delightful blend of high-quality spirits and a charming atmosphere. The fusion of their exquisite drinks and Hurry 4 Curry’s Indian cuisine creates a unique and memorable evening. The staff's hospitality adds to the enchantment, making it a must-visit in Lyons.“
“Loved this spot! I was in town for a short time and saw that Odd13 was highly rated. The vibes here were very welcoming and fun! The beer selection was minimal while still maintaining a good variety. On top of the great beer and hospitality, this brewery had plenty of cozy indoor space as well as outdoor space with a fire pit! I hope to stop by on my next visit!“
“Couldn’t be happier to have this brewery in our backyard, we find ourselves at Vinyl Night on Thursdays quite often. Also my partner and I cannot express more satisfaction and gratitude for their strict 21+ policy. To all the parents whining in the comments about this establishment not being “family friendly”, you couldn’t be more right! I do not understand the mindset of wanting to bring your child to a place that has nothing to offer them, where adults are there to unwind and enjoy an age-restricted beverage in the company of other adults. “Parents need to drink too”, ok. Buy six pack from Odyssey Beerworks and enjoy it in the comfort of your own home, their beer is just as awesome in a can as from the tap.“
“Great beers and conversation at the bar. Bit busy so a bit hectic. Heard that their michelada was brewed 100% as such so not a mixture. So interesting that they would brew a beer like that. Very cutting edge and avant-garde. Good for them and good for us. Try them out“
“We visited Odell for euchre night and had an absolute blast! I haven't found anywhere for card nights so I'm so happy we found this spot. The beer options are great and its close to lots of dinner options for before or after! I will be back soon.“
“The opportunity to eat inside of the old flight control tower at the original stapleton international airport. It isnow just the tower surrounded by the neighborhood that has grown up around it.Inside there are several different levels with a wide variety of games , and activities are to choose from. A wide variety of beverages and different food items to enjoy.“
“Came here to get a beer before our escape room appointment next door and service was great. I had the pilsner and my partner had the saison. Both were great. Love the vibe here and the plants. It was a 60 degree sunny day so the door was open and it was just beautiful out. They have food trucks as well but we didn't order any food today. I saw they also have non-alcoholic beer (not sure if they brewed it or if it's from another brewery, I didn't look close enough) which is awesome and I wanna come back for that because I'm so curious how they taste!“
“I must say, I’ve never seen a brewery that has mastered every style of beer, except Rickoli. Rick makes the best of the best, you just can’t compete, it’s out of this world! You all just have to come and experience it for yourself, pick anything and it will blow your mind!!Also the open mic night is something quite special. What a great community of people there, definitely a diamond in the rough.“
“I haven't been to a better brewery. The bartenders are all so friendly and helpful and the beer is AMAZING. Actually, amazing doesn't begin to describe the beer. They have frozen pizza, some pretzels and some meat sticks. The atmosphere is absolutely amazing. From the outside, it looks unimpressive, but on the inside, you'll get greeted by name and always by a warm face. They have beer to go (albeit expensive) and you can't find it anywhere else. There's deals every day like $10 flights on Fridays to $2 off beers other days. Run to this brewery.“
“Their brewer Andrew sure does have his craft down. Probably the best Pilsners I've ever had. Blootylicious is another great flavor if you want something more fruity.Front of house staff is great too. I've loved getting to know Allan, Aaron, and Kelsee as much as I've loved getting to know their beers.Would highly recomend, especially if you're looking to pre-game while you wait to get into Casa Bonita.“
“Great brewery! Everything I tried was great. Was especially surprised by the low abv English Mild. It was like 2.5% but had great body and flavor. The staff and brewer were all extremely kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I can’t wait to return.“
“If you like a smaller brewery experience with a super local feel, this would be a great place for you. No crowds, no commotion, and very easy-going solid beers on tap. But a little limited in the extent of beers available - usually 8 to 10. Food truck availability can be spotty but several good places nearby that deliver.“
“Love this place! I attended a private event tonight for the East High Angelaires Jazz show and this place is so great and accommodating. Such a kind staff and the owner was extremely gracious. I had the Vibin' Berry Seltzer and it was delicious. I can't wait to go back with some friends!“
“Probably one of my overall fav breweries I discovered in Denver...Fiction Beer Company is a bibliophile + beer nerd's dream come true! The space is so perfectly thematic, from the bar of used books, to the beer names based off book titles/authors, to beer quotes by authors on the tables, to the bookcase with books you can read while imbibing on their amazing beers! Sean, the beertender, was so welcoming; the space was open, bright, and their patio was perfect to take in the incredible early Autumn weather.The beer styles were varied and true to style; all of the beers in my flight were magnificent!This very non-fictional place is worth adding to any book/beer nerd's memoir and a must visit when in the Denver area!“
“A great lil hole in the wall brewery in Denver! The Cherry Kriek was my absolute favorite. I had an ipa too, it was fantastic. Tyler the beertender was really cool and gave me a lot of good recommendations. Had a nice time chatting with him and trying delicious beers. Definitely a good place to stop for a beer if youre in the area.“
“Stumbled upon Mestiza for lunch and it was the best decision ever! Food was actually authentic Mexican food and so delicious!! Beer was great too. Happy to say we’ll definitely be coming back and will continue to support this business as everything was great!“
“Amazing Denver’s brewing scene, a thread of vibrant Latin American vibrancy weaves its way through the fabric, emerging resplendent in the form of Raices Brewing Company. This isn’t merely a brewery; it’s a cultural nexus, a place where the vivacious rhythms of bachata and salsa find a harmonious echo in the clinking of glasses and the laughter of friends unwinding after the day’s toil.Raices, with its roots firmly planted in the rich soil of Latin American heritage, offers more than just exceptional brews; it provides an ambiance that pulsates with the lifeblood of community and conviviality. The moment you step inside, the world outside fades to a distant murmur, replaced by the warm embrace of a space that feels less like a public venue and more like an extension of one’s living room—if one’s living room were infused with the infectious energy of a Latin dance hall.The DJ, a maestro of mood, spins aural tapestries of bachata and salsa, each track a thread in the vibrant mural of sound that adorns the air. The music is not just background; it’s a pulse, a heartbeat that infuses the space with an energy so tangible you can almost see the notes dancing through the air. It’s this music that sets the rhythm of the evening, guiding patrons in a dance of relaxation and revelry.At Raices, the beers are as thoughtfully crafted as the playlist, each brew a testament to the artistry of their makers. The flavors are bold, unapologetic, and infused with a sense of place and tradition, much like the brewery itself. Here, the art of brewing is celebrated not just as a craft, but as a form of cultural expression, a liquid dialogue between brewer and patron.But what truly sets Raices apart is its ability to foster connections, to turn a simple after-work drink into an experience of communal joy and relaxation. It’s a place where you can chop it up with good friends, where stories are shared and memories made, all to the rhythm of Latin beats that insist you leave your cares at the door.In the constellation of Denver’s breweries, Raices Brewing Company shines with the luminescence of a place that knows its identity and embraces it with open arms. It’s not just a spot to grab a beer; it’s a destination, a journey to a space where culture, music, and camaraderie ferment into an experience as intoxicating and refreshing as the brews it serves.“
“Some of the greatest beers I've had have come from Cerebral Brewing. From stouts, to sours to IPAs, they always deliver fantastic quality brews and offer amazing special selection bombers to take home. Twice visited from San Antonio while in Denver. I don't think I'll ever pass up the chance to stop in while visiting. Cheers Cerebral ? ?“
“Cool place, I'll be back for more Princess Yum Yum. They will cut you off after a couple beers so it's not really a place you could stay too long. The guys at the bar probably need a little training about learning when not to serve or when to serve. i'm a business owner, who is interviewing several clients at the bar one day, and one individual was particularly animated when they arrived, and the server took that as them being drunk, and we ended up all not being served, poor judgment unfortunate experience, we think twice about where we hold our business meetings“
“This is a gem…diamond in the rough…the rarest of air. If you think you’ll find cask ales and lagers like this outside the UK this easily…you’ve forgotten to count your blessings, Dear Denver. Bypass these Google reviews and get UNESCO on the line…somebody needs to put up a monument here.“

“5++ stars. This reminds me of the breweries of 10 or so years ago, which is a great thing!Lots of high alcohol, high taste choices. I drink beer for the taste do to have a bunch of delicious Belgium styles beer on tap is a bonus.Loved the tap house being open to the tanks and brewing equipment.Also really appreciated how dog friendly it is in there! My Brittany had a great time getting treats and meeting other dogs!“
“Great beer and vibes. We bring our dog there all the time and everyone is always very friendly and respectful of his space. The regulars are a great crowd, like one big family. My second favorite bartender, Kyle, is one of the best in the biz - second only to top dog Cara.“
“I had the pleasure of experiencing top-notch service at Cerveceria, all thanks to my bff who works as a cicerone. If you're looking for an awesome bartender who enhances your brewery visit, Drea is the one to seek out here. Even though I don't drink, I like coming to hang out because it's such a fun environment. She has the best hospitality and is friendly to everyone who comes in. Also come for Bingo nights with Oscar, you won't be disappointed!“
“I’ve been coming to CTA since 2019 and it’s my husband and I’s favorite brewery. They are LGBTQ+ friendly and we feel so at home. The beer is amazing (Janet Reno is a must try) and great patio space for your fur babies! Chris is the owner and always has an amazing tap and hires the most wonderful staff.“
“Stopped by Liquid Mechanics to pick up some beer to go. The bartender was friendly and gave me a few samples to taste before picking my beer. The limited edition Cartel was awesome! I'm so glad I took some home. I also bought some Jiggle Juice and Lucid AF, both are solid, tasty brews. The brewery is clean and inviting. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area.“
“great service and ambiance! lots of TVs and the food came fresh and hot. mac and cheese was a fan favorite but needed more salt and breadcrumbs, along with the chicken sandwich's. Wouldn't get the salad again but everything else was great. Bees knees is a good option, the hoptimist west coast IPA was also good.“
“I stopped in just on a whim because I was in between doordashing times! Super fun space that really playe on their name: FlyteCo. Planes everywhere with a giant hull in the middle of the space! LeeAnn, a manager working behind the bar, helped me out and she was amazing! She even let me use one of her tablet chargers to charge my phone! So kind and knowledgeable of the beer she was slingin! Will definitely be back!“
“I don’t know how I haven’t rated this place before but I have been multiple times with friends and enjoyed it every time! Excellent beer, dog-friendly patio spaces, and so many food options in the vicinity. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and are happy to help you figure out what to try (even if it takes answering a lot of questions). Highly recommend!“
“A cute brewery tucked into the LoHi neighborhood -- we walked past it and decided to stop by since it was close to our Airbnb. They have a fun indoor area with lots of foliage and a great outdoor seating setup -- we were lucky to catch some late October sunshine and loved the dog-friendly outdoor patio. Overall, nice bartenders and a fun spot to grab a drink before driving over to Red Rocks for a show!“
“Very good selection of great beer and yummy stuffed bread options. Amy gave recommendations when asked -a rarity! - and they were good ones. We really enjoyed our visit very much and will be back. Two suggestions: Pint glasses for the price of those beers, maybe iced ones. And, a problem I see often in Colorado - you need bar mats behind that bar - industy standard (for reasons). Go enjoy this place. Excellent fun.“
