The editorial take
A Colorado-only craft beer taproom whose roster runs from Cerebral and Weldwerks to Bierstadt, Our Mutual Friend, New Image, Milieu, Crooked Stave and Outer Range, with dozens of other Colorado producers alongside them. The list leans toward lagers, IPAs and sours, and malty beers are scarce. Tasters run about $5 and full pours about $10, so building a lineup across several producers is straightforward. The curation, not the size of the list, is the point: small-batch Colorado beer, poured with a clear stylistic tilt.
- What should I order?
- Start with a taster of Bierstadt or Cerebral to read the lager and IPA side, then a Weldwerks or Outer Range pour for contrast. Crooked Stave and New Image are the other names worth building a flight around.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want Colorado beer specifically, and who prefer lagers, IPAs and sours over malt-forward styles. The taster format suits anyone comparing producers rather than settling on one pour.
- When should I go?
- A taproom visit works for an afternoon or evening session; the taster pricing makes a short stop viable without committing to full pours.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The tap list is drawn entirely from Colorado producers, with a named roster that includes Cerebral, Weldwerks, Bierstadt, Our Mutual Friend, New Image, Milieu, Crooked Stave and Outer Range. The curation is small-batch and Colorado-focused, and the style mix tilts toward lagers, IPAs and sours rather than malt-forward beer.
