We would rather brew for our neighbors than notoriety, so our beers are personal expressions that stay faithful to classic styles.
A city that has long been thought to be in the shadows of nearby Boulder, Longmont is anything but that today. An ambitious vibrancy resonates between those walking the artsy downtown district. With city officials projecting the population to exceed that of Boulder’s in the next 15 years, the future is bright for this prosperous […]
The name Tivoli is legendary in Denver, and for good reason. For nearly seventy years, a brewery operated inside the historic building that now serves as the Tivoli Student Union on the Auraria campus. The beer kept flowing until 1969, when the Tivoli Beer Company closed, leaving the old equipment behind. But history has a […]

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. But this strange location belies the classic philosophy (both aesthetic and culinary) that lies beyond the front door. The […]
When it comes to house parties, there are mellow kickbacks that all blend together and the ragers that make for unforgettable stories. Brewery parties divide much the same way, and Ratio knows how to do both right. The gorgeously decorated brewery oozes a vital, electric vibe, even on a slow day…but there aren’t many of […]
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 […]
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 […]
Yak & Yeti Restaurant and Entertainment Center is familiar to those with a thirst for craft beer and a hunger for Nepalese and Indian food.

When he opened FATE Brewing in January 2013, Mike Lawinski had a hunch that his two patios might be ideal for watching July 4 fireworks blasting off over Boulder’s Folsom Field. “We almost marketed it last year, but we wanted to test our theory first,” he says. The theory turned out to be correct. FATE’s […]
Since beer is made from grain and hops, it makes sense that Christine Wares picked Kokopelli, the Hopi god of agriculture and fertility, as the inspiration for her new brewery, Kokopelli Beer Company. The 4,000-square-foot Westminster-based brewpub, which seats nearly 100 people, specializes in lower-alcohol session beers, which are around 5 percent ABV or less, […]
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 […]
Crooked Stave Barrel Cellar opened in a warehouse business park in September 5, 2012, as an outlet for Chad Yakobson’s Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project, which he moved from Fort Collins to Denver. Although Yakobson, doesn’t actually brew his beer on site, he does ferment it in wooden barrels with various yeasts and souring agents. […]

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.
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.
Like its name, Denver Beer Co. is simple and straightforward. The owners, Charlie Berger and Patrick Crawford, aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel; they just want to make great beer. But you’ll rarely find the same beer there twice, as Berger and Crawford are constantly coming up with new recipes for a wide variety of […]
