Stem Ciders has played a pivotal role in the resurgence of cider, once one of America’s favorite beverages. After five years of small-batch production in a tiny cider house downtown, the company thought big – really big – with its Boulder County farmhouse restaurant that opened in 2018. Located on more than ten acres of […]

In February 2015, after 22 years in the same space, Avery Brewing Company closed its Arapahoe Avenue location in Boulder and opened a brand-new brewing facility, restaurant and taproom on 5.6 acres of land at 4910 Nautilus Court. Nearly as extensive as the beer selection, the all-day menu (served in both rooms) reaches well beyond […]
Ashleigh Carter and Bill Eye opened this brewery in 2016. It specializes in lager beers, including three core brews: its helles, its dunkel and – perhaps the most lauded beer in Colorado – its Slow Pour Pils. Beyond Bierstadt’s propensity for making some of the best craft beers in the state, it boasts a comfortable, […]
Standing out is tough in a city where beer drinkers can simply walk a few blocks from their front doors to find quality suds in a multitude of new breweries. Since opening in 2012, Black Shirt has drawn crowds by aiming for continuous improvement in its beer lineup and offering value-adds like a three patios, […]
Denverites sure do love their Blue Moon; ever since the beer debuted in 1995 at the Sandlot at Coors Field, people haven’t been able to get enough of the crafty brew. And the Blue Moon Brewing Company, which opened in north Denver in July 2016, aims to give the people what they want: more Blue […]
The Blue Moon Brewing Company @ the Sandlot has been Denver’s most unusual brewery since it debuted inside Coors Field in 1995; located in a hundred-year-old warehouse that was incorporated into the architecture of the stadium, the Sandlot was only open to Rockies ticket holders on game days for many years. But in 2013, the […]

A long, dark, cavernous spot on the security level of DIA’s busy terminal, Boulder Beer Tap House is just the place for travelers to fortify themselves for the ordeal ahead. The bar’s menu lists sandwiches, salads and burgers, either buffalo or juicy beef, served on a puffy Kaiser roll with thick pub fries. More important, […]
Colorado is the brewpub capital of the world, and Breckenridge Brewery was one of the early pioneers that helped the state claim that crown. Since opening nearly two decades ago, Breck on Blake near Coors Field showcases an extensive selection of handcrafted beers, which can best be sampled during daily happy hour (except when the […]
Colorado is the brewpub capital of the world, and Breckenridge Brewery was one of the early pioneers that helped the state claim that crown. The main attraction at the Ballpark location is the brewery’s extensive selection of handcrafted beers, which can best be sampled during daily happy hour, but there’s also a good selection of […]
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 […]
Step inside this dark, cozy English-style pub and you’ll understand its staying power: It turned 53 in 2024. Now run by second-generation owners, “the pub you’ve been practicing for” (as the motto goes) serves a long menu of England-meets-Colorado comfort food, including French onion soup, bangers and mash, and green chile-smothered mashed potatoes, as well […]
Not only is the Cheeky Monk a destination restaurant for all you European beer snobs looking for unpronounceable brews made by monks who’ve dedicated their lives to Jesus and zymurgy, but it also happens to be a great place to sample the rather unique cuisine of the Benelux — all mussels and frites and sausages […]

Since opening in a hundred-year-old building between Berkeley and Sunnyside in 2019, FlyteCo Brewing’s aviation theme has really taken off – and includes not just a salvaged plane wing at the entrance, runway striping on the floor and other aeronautical details, but a custom-built replica of the fuselage of a plane. Inside are jump seats, […]
In mid-August 2022, FlyteCo Brewing opened its second location, dubbed FlyteCo Tower, in the former Stapleton Airport control tower. The owners wisely kept the fun and games left by previous tenant Punch Bowl Social, including an eighteen-hole mini-golf course, six bowling lanes, pool tables, arcade games and more. The food menu leans heavily on pub […]
The Gnome opened in 2018, and while cold beer is a great reason to visit the spacious brewpub, the sandwiches are the headliners here.

The Mountain Sun group channels the spirit of those college roommates who maintained a constant house party, complete with a keg and a rotating roster of friends. The five pubs are a front for a microbrewery, and they each maintain a line of about twenty taps for the Sun’s own solid, award-winning craft beers. During […]
Boulder’s Mountain Sun Pub is the granddaddy of ’em all, the OG that launched a whole family of brewpubs in Denver and Boulder County. The Pearl Street stalwart started turning out beers in 1993, and over the decades has maintained a friendly, laid-back vibe that stays just on the right side of “old Boulder hippie.” […]
Is Arvada becoming the new neighborhood for great drinking? Just a couple of blocks from School House Kitchen & Libations, New Image Brewing pours barrel-aged beers brewed in-house, featuring creative styles for adventurous palates (think two different Brett saisons). But there’s also a full bar featuring cocktails made with beer ingredients, so you’ll find, for […]
The long, angled bar – fashioned from ruddy Colorado sandstone – makes the trip to Oskar Blues worthwhile. The mellow Lyons spot also serves the first-ever canned Colorado microbrew, Dale’s Pale Ale (6.5 percent!), and features a dark, cavernous corner stage that hosts some fine blues music Friday and Saturday nights.
