The huge garage doors still go up and down every day at the former Station 26 firehouse in northeast Park Hill, but the only emergencies now are when someone’s glass gets low on double IPA. Station 26 Brewing opened last December inside this renovated fire station (the Denver Fire Department’s new Station 26 facility is […]

Grist Brewing opened in 2013 in Highlands Ranch with brewer Rob Kevwitch at the helm. Kevwitch has a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and studied “photodegradable dendrimer/polymeric systems” in a former life. Now he runs a brewery. Overqualified? Hardly. Making good beer takes a balance of science and creativity, and Kevwitch pours his heart into both […]
Like your best bud’s back yard, there’s something about the two-level patio at Sanitas Brewing that is instantly welcoming and relaxing. Maybe it’s the views of the Foothills (and the brewery’s namesake, Mount Sanitas), or the train tracks lined with green grass, or the cornhole and bocce ball courts, or the indoor/outdoor bar, where you […]

While Fort Collins and Denver each have their share of breweries, it’s slim pickings in Berthoud, which is about halfway between the two cities. The small-town, small-batch City Star Brewing makes award-winning beers with big taste; some of its mainstays include Cowboy’s Golden and All American IPA. The brewery’s tap room, which is open seven […]
In September 2013, Harry Smith, a longtime brewer at Breckenridge Brewery, opened Black Sky Brewery, just a block from his old employer and with Breckenridge’s full support. Black Sky, which dishes up Connecticut-style pizza along with its beer, was a long time in the making. As noted on its website, the brewery’s 23 taps feature […]

Cannonball Creek has long been known for making hop-forward beers, and making them well. But in recent years, the brewery has expanded its menu to focus more on lagers – which, not surprisingly, are very good, too. From Dad Squad pils to Let’s Talk About Mex!, you can always find tasty options here. The brewery […]
Hanging out at the OMF taproom is like being at a house party; there are often more folks standing around than sitting down. They’re part of a fun, diverse and younger crowd than you find at your typical brewery. The beer matches that demographic as well – IPAs, lagers, and barrel-aged, smoked and experimental beers. […]
Ben Parsons has long been a wine-industry renegade, perhaps most notably for his canned wine, which drove Infinite Monkey Theorem to a new level of success and launched something of a packaging sea change among young makers. Just as brazen was planting his winery in the urban core of Denver and tapping into city culture […]
Bonfire Brewing is known for its beer, so the tap room in downtown Eagle doesn’t serve food, though you can bring in your own grub. The wide selection of the brewery’s specialties is reason enough to check out the place, but if you’re looking for more, several TVs, a dart board and a shuffleboard table […]
Boulder County boys Tyler Ruse and Nathaniel Miller filled the craft-beer gap in the Highway 36 corridor with Big Choice, a 2,500-square-foot tasting room and brewery with eight beers on tap and a late-’80s/early-’90s music, movies and skateboarding theme.

In 2012, the team behind Hogshead Brewery turned a former gas station into an English-style brewery and taproom. Hogshead is one of the last remaining Colorado breweries to serve cask-style beer, and its intimate neighborhood taproom draws drinkers from near and far. The roster has expanded recently to include beers outside of the English category […]
Danny Wang and Betty Fey opened Caution in the spring of 2012 as a production facility supplying beer to Lao Wang, a noodle house owned by Wang’s parents. The brewery quickly expanded with a tap room, giving beer fans a chance to post up and sample their entire lineup.
TRVE Brewing opened in June 2012 in a long, skinny space on Broadway that was formerly home to an art gallery. Although everyone here is friendly, the layout gives the place a dark and divey feel, which is just fine with owner Nick Nunns, who names all of his beers after black-metal bands or songs […]
