Live Urban Agents Tell You: Best Denver Area Breweries

Fall feels like it's finally here in the Mile High City, which makes us want to get cozy in one of Denver's awesome local breweries! We asked Live Urban agents to share their favorite Denver area spot to grab a local beer so that we could maybe introduce you to a new brewery or two to add to your Beer Bucket List!

Did they leave out your fave? Let Stacie know and she will be happy to add it to the list!

Jill said: Black Shirt Brewery! Love their Beet Beer, glassware and outdoor stage area!

Brooke said:Back about 10 weeks ago when I could imbibe to my heart's content I loved Cerebral Brewing - they are always changing their IPAs but the watermelon was a favorite!

Babs said:Station 26 in Parkhill! Just when I was feeling old and out of it for not knowing beers we happened upon this place which it is a repurposed fire station. The sampler helped me to realize I actually do like craft beer.

Michelle said:Ratio Beerworks! The vibe is so laid back, fun and the beer is always amazing. Try the "Dear You" Saison, so refreshing and delicious! Follow them on Instagram- they do random flavors of beer during the week in case you need a mid-week treat.

Doug said:Little Machine in Jefferson Park.Their Stock Ale is fantastic!

Alli said:Left Hand Brewery in Longmontit's TOTALLY worth the drive from Denver! Great atmosphere, one of the best patios, usually always have a food truck, friendly staff, and the best brews in this state! They are also HUGE in giving back to the local community. I LOVE that! How do I pick one favorite beer? My favorite seasonal is GoodJuJu! My favorite year around tap is Sawtooth onNitro! BUT honestlyall their beers are delicious. Locally owned and RIGHTEOUS independent!

Casey said:Ratio in RINO. Cool industrial space, great selection of beers and always a food truck.

Kelly Koz said:Ratio Beer Works in RINOAntidote is the way to go. It is an amazing India Pale Ale.

Joy said:BreweryRickoli at 44th and Wads... Some gluten free options and right here in Wheat Ridge!Hopp Session is the bomb!

Mic said:I'm a big fan of Goldspot Brewing in Regis. A great spot with an awesome patio and usually a food truck. The Breaking Bread Belgian table beer is great on a hot summer day and their keg of the week is usually a safe bet too.

Heather said:PROST! And their Hefeweizen will give any brew in Germany a run for the money!

Kassidy said:For us Glutards, breweries are not accommodating places. As a fun alternative, love Stem Ciders in Rino.

Jen said:We love spending our Sunday afternoons at Joyride! They have great beer, the best food trucks, and a nice view of Sloan's Lake. Plus it's dog friendly so we don't have to leave our four legged family member at home. They also have Euchre tournaments, a run club, beer and cheese pairing events, and beer yoga events.

Nicole said:Goldspot Brewing is my favorite brewery because it's right down the street from me in Regis, they have a great patio and offer great flights of beer!

Kelley said:I love both Renegade (off 9th and Santa Fe) and Platte Park Brewery on Pearl Street, they are both relaxed atmospheres.Platte Park always has a beer on nitro tap, which is delicious, no matter which beer it is!Renegade has a coffee beer that is pretty delicious as well!

Dawn said:I have to nominate Rising Sun Distillery's neighbors at Strange - 1330 Zuni. They have a gluten free beer that is great, they also do some collaborative beers with other breweries that are always fun to try. Their Breakfast beer is delicious.

June said:Hogshead Brewery in the heart of Slo-Hi @ West 29th and Utica!Lake Lightning is my favorite!!

Dave said:Chain Reaction Brewing Company on South Lipan in Athmar Park. It's comfortable, with great people, great beer and no attitude. They love to experiment and the variety on tap is fantastic. There's Always Money in the Banana Stand is a really good Hefeweisen with a subtle hint of banana and a great name.

Cheers, Denver!
