Wonderland Brewing Company

Bigger is better at Wonderland Brewing. Though their beers may be small-batch and handcrafted, their tap room/brewery in Broomfield is a 9,000-square-foot wonderland with a beer garden, patio, giant tasting room, ping-pong tables — even a basketball court. But people really come for the beer. With Belgian-style and barrel-aged English-style brews and high-IBU India Pale […]

4 Noses Brewing Company

Founded in 2014 by Tommy Bibliowicz and his family, 4 Noses has grown steadily, building both its beer selection and its reputation. In 2016, the brewery’s Pump Action Imperial Pumpkin Ale swept the two most prestigious beer competitions, winning gold at the World Beer Cup and the Great American Beer Festival. But pumpkin beers are […]

Fermaentra

When people walk into Fermaentra, owners Brennan Mann and Spencer O’Bryan want them to know they’re in a brewery. “Otherwise, you’re just in a bar in LoDo,” Mann says. That’s why beer drinkers at Fermaentra, which opened its doors in November 2014, can look past the taps to the seven-barrel brewhouse and the six tanks […]

Stem Ciders

The city’s cider scene has grown a lot in recent years, but Stem continues to be a leader in innovation. In December 2022, it celebrated the grand opening of its new RiNo taproom, which boasts more space than its original home and a full food menu. Enjoy a flight of ciders that range from fruity […]

World of Beer

Colorado is crazy about craft beer, so it makes sense that the Tampa-based restaurant chain World of Beer would come along to tap the market. And nobody does craft beer quite like these big boys: LoDo’s World of Beer offers more than 550 beers from around the world, including fifty draft beers on tap. The […]

Zephyr Brewing

In early 2013, three Colorado friends — Brian Wood, Rich Wisniewski and Tyler Shuey — decided to open a brewery in River North. The neighborhood grew quickly during the next year and a half, and eight breweries popped up within walking distance — while the trio’s project, Zephyr Brewing, suffered through permitting, power and construction […]

Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project

Located inside The Source, the taproom and brewery is a showpiece for Crooked Stave, which has gained national attention for its wild and sour ales over the past two years. Owner Chad Yakobson will be able to expand his repertoire here with other varieties and styles.

Goldspot Brewing

In February 2015, Matt Hughes and Alex Sward opened Goldspot Brewing at 4970 Lowell Boulevard, just a block from the Regis University campus, in a neighborhood without a lot of beer-drinking options. The small spot has a cozy, neighborhood feel to it. Goldspot — which is named for the golden-colored circle on the Colorado flag […]

Comrade Brewing

“Welkome to the Party.” That’s the motto for Comrade Brewing, which opened in southeast Denver in 2014 with “back-to-basics” beers — like a kolsch, an IPA, an Irish red and a milk stout — and a tongue-in-cheek nod to Communism. But owner David Lin says he’s really celebrating the camaraderie that the craft brewing industry […]
