Warm season is Kölsch season. No, not the spiced and/or fruited ales that too often unnecessarily use the name, but the delicate, clean, crisp, slightly hoppy pale beers served in 200-milliliter (6.7-ounce) cylindrical glasses called stanges. In Cologne, servers (or köbes) will pour an endless stream of these fresh beers, one after another, while marking […]

Coloradans are fortunate to have quite a few high-quality producers of specialized beers, from makers of barrel-aged stouts and Belgian, English, German or Czech-style brews to South American and Mexican-focused breweries and, of course, IPA houses.

In 2023, it took over the former Dos Luces space on South Broadway; in 2024, it turned the original location into a non-public brewing facility. Not only has […]
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.
This is a side project from the beer experts at Denver Beer Co. next door, and the focus is the flavors of Mexico.

In 2018, Daniel and Talia Haykin opened Haykin Family Cider, complete with a simple tasting room, in an industrial part of Aurora. Here, Haykin produces single-variety ciders from apples (many of them grown in Colorado) that are picked, pressed and fermented in season, allowing the distinct flavor of each to shine through. Crisp, clean, complex […]

What started out as a simple Boulder bagelry in May 2017 rapidly expanded to a trio of cafes by November 2018, with locations added in Lowry and at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The centerpiece of all three is the Montreal-style bagel – a bit smaller than its NYC-style cousin, topped only by […]
Serious fun. German-style beer standards. Unique small batch creations.
With a dog park, bike park, major hiking trails and a mountain out its back door, it’s no wonder New Terrain is the busiest brewery in the area. Jokes will be made about children and dogs, but the vibe is very much about outdoor fun. If you don’t mind a crowd, even on weekdays, you […]
