Beer in Denver and surrounding areas (weekend trip)

jthoresen · Jul 7, 2010

I'm going to Denver for an extended weekend and want to take in all the beer I can. I know this area is rich in beers, but is there any place I should focus on? In addition to a brewery I'm looking for a pub with 100 + beers.

Thanks,

Jesse

in Denver: Falling Rock Taphouse and Cheeky Monk (for Belgians) are great places to get a variety. There is the Wynkoop brewery as well, has some pretty solid beers.

Boulder:

Avery Brewing Company - http://www.averybrewing.com/
Mountain & Southern Sun - http://www.mountainsunpub.com/

That should keep you busy

Thanks, looking forward to it!

Just found out that Yard House is opening in November downtown Denver.

falling rock is the staple in town. It's a madhouse during the GABF

for some local selection...
Great Divide, Wynkoop, Dry Dock, Bull and Bush, Breckenridge, new to town is Strange Brewing

and if you add boulder and fort collins to the list it grows quite a bit

Defiantly hitting up Falling Rock.

Basically Lo Do is a good place to find lots of beer.

I cant believe I forgot Great Divide...

Make sure you try some beer from Oskar Blues, Left Hand and Odell Brewing while you're at it! Those are all northern CO but damn good brewerys.

Left Hand makes some fine beers, particularly that Milk Stout. Gotta love beer made from the waters of the great St. Vrain.

I'm dying to check out Pints Pub. Not a huge beer selection, but one of the few places I've found in the region that emphasises real ale.

I went to Pints Pub's website, looks great! I'll be checking that place out for sure.

I am not a fan of Pint's (the beer nor the owner....not a super friendly fellow)....the beer isn't much better. My fave not already mentioned is the Denver Chop house....Kevin the brewer also does nice tours if asked nicely (next to Coor's field, very close to Wynkoop and Brek downtown, and walking distance to Great Divide, Falling Rock, and Rock Bottom), owned by Rock Bottom.... (stumbling distance).
