Westbound & Down

Where else in Colorado can you drink beer in an alley? At Westbound & Down’s Free Market location in Denver, patrons can grab some of Colorado’s most award-winning beer and hang out in the well-kept Dairy Block alley. From IPAs to dark beers, spritzy lagers and Hefeweizen, Westbound manages to offer an array of top-notch […]

Lady Justice Brewing

There was a collective pause when Lady Justice announced it was leaving north Aurora for Englewood. The Aurora scene has recovered nicely, though, with the opening of several standout breweries and a cidery in that area. And Lady Justice sorely needed an expanded taproom. The brewery can now hold bigger and better events, regularly filling […]

Belleview Station Tap & Burger

The burgers at this outpost of the local chain are hefty and juicy, ranging from the classic Shroom Luvas to the slightly overboard house burger, piled with smoked pulled pork, a thick-cut onion ring and two kinds of cheese. Add-ons like a fried egg or a luxurious slab of foie gras turn the basic burger […]

The Thirsty Monk

The monastic life may not hold much appeal in the modern world, but it does have one major perk: the brews. Monks – particularly Belgian brothers – have long supported themselves through brewing and make some of the most famous beers in the world. If you aren’t of an ecclesiastical disposition (or just can’t make […]

Tap Fourteen Colorado Beer Garden

Tap Fourteen opened its second Denver beer bar in January 2018, following the original on the rooftop of Hayter’s at 1920 Blake Street. This one is on street level, so it lacks the views of the LoDo location, but the wrap-around patio makes an ideal spot for neighbors and their pooches to wander in for […]

New Terrain Brewing Company

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 […]

Stanley Beer Hall

Stanley Marketplace resolutely refuses to refer to itself as a mall, and while the idea of many different merchants under one roof certainly brings to mind the “m” word, this complex has a few very important tenants that differentiate it from the pink-and-teal edifices of the ’80s. One of those is the Stanley Beer Hall, […]

Peak to Peak Tap Room

Celebrating nearly 2 years of bringing the best small craft beer from across Colorado to southeast Aurora. 500+ brews from 100+ small craft breweries proudly served and counting…

Sloan’s Lake Tap & Burger

Sloan’s Lake Tap & Burger, which opened in the West Colfax neighborhood in summer 2016, is the sister restaurant to the ridiculously popular Highland version. This Tap is bigger in almost every respect. Higher ceilings, an enormous bar, more TVs, massive windows – even the menu has been beefed up with the addition of barbecue. […]

Kline’s Beer Hall

Housemade sausages and a smattering of Eastern European small plates are the primary dinner offerings at Kline’s, which makes sense for an old-world beer hall. But Kline’s keeps from sliding into oompah-band kitschiness with its austere, DIY decor and comprehensive list of craft beers divided into “featured friends,” rarities on rotation, staff picks and seasonal […]

BookCliff Vineyards Winery

BookCliff Vineyards is a family owned winery. We grow 37 acres of 14 different varieties in Palisade, producing 4,000 cases of Colorado wine per year and sell Colorado fruit to other wineries. The vines were planted in the mid-90’s and production began in 1999. We opened our tasting room in North Boulder in 2008 and […]
