Brewability, which employs adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to brew and serve beer, got its start in 2016 and moved into its current home three years later, adding a food menu that includes pizza and mac and cheese. The brewery’s commitment to supporting its employees is impressive, and easy to admire while hanging out […]
Briar Common Brewery + Eatery opened in late 2016 in an odd, wedge-shaped building that was seemingly dropped into the middle of an intersection in the Jefferson Park neighborhood with little attention to traffic or practicality.

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.
Even with all of its breweries, Denver needed a place that was cultured but unpretentious, intellectual but neighborhood-focused, nerdy but not condescending, something…cerebral. Oh, and with fantastic beer. That’s what it got with Cerebral Brewing, a mellow spot just off Colfax Avenue that is making some of Denver’s best beer and presenting it in a […]
This is a side project from the beer experts at Denver Beer Co. next door, and the focus is the flavors of Mexico. The starting point is clean and refreshing lager perfect for a hot summer day, but the brewers explore international styles while adding rare ingredients from Mexico for surprising bursts of boldness. In […]

Coda boasts about its “experimental elixirs,” most of which are only made in single-keg quantities and sold within a couple of days. But it’s also got a solid lineup of standard beers, including IPAs, Kölsches, pilsners and stouts on tap at any given time, as well as a rotating roster of food trucks most days.
Even though the Colorado Rockies have never won a World Series, catching an evening game at Coors Field – the great ballpark on the edge of downtown Denver that opened in 1995 — is something every Colorado resident and visitor should experience.
