Really enjoyed our visit to Asher Brewing! We tried the Mexican lager and the raspberry wheat. The raspberry was really good and well balanced. I liked the Mexican lager better after putting salt in it, but it wasn't my favorite. Service was excellent, and super helpful whenever we had a question about the games. Love that there is a pool table, dart boards, a game system... nice to have something to do! The decor was very cute. I appreciated the stained glass appearing covers over the fluorescent lights, especially! I enjoyed this brewery, and think you would too! read more

Damn! The beer is great. Not crowded, but should be. In an office park, by a large microbrewery, next to the best dog park in Boulder county. Organic, creative, delicious, friendly - including dog friendly. Love this place. read more

Asher Brewing Company - Raspberry Wheat. Incredibly delicious. Their Mexican lager is amazing. Honestly every beer I have tried here is. - Breweries Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

We dropped in during a bachelor party trip where we visited multiple breweries. I enjoyed all the beers I had but the most memorable by far was the Cafe Kolsch. It is cold brew infused and full of great flavor. Highly recommend. Overall the brewery has a chill vibe... OMG THERE'S A SEGA DREAMCAST IN THE BACK. Love it. read more

Found this little gem tucked away near another larger, and more popular brewery in Gunbarrel (you know the one). The staff at Asher was amazing: patient and thoughtful and just genuinely kind. It's dog friendly both inside and out, which is important for many Boulderites. We met some four legged friends we hope to see there again. My husband had the cherry lager and the amber and really enjoyed both. As a non-alcoholic girl myself, I was pleased to see six different flavors of kombucha available. Thank you, Asher! We played darts in the back where it was cool and the Olympics were playing on television. It wasn't very crowded, and everyone seemed comfortable and casual; perhaps they were the regulars. Perhaps we will be regulars soon, too! read more

We dropped by for fun as a kiddo in the family is named Asher. The bartender was really thoughtful and gave him a free soda just for fun. We also had a nice time in their back room with ping pong, darts, TV, etc. Great place to grab a beer and hangout. read more

*** Mark my words ... "Asher is gonna blow up!" *** These guys are THE emerging brewery in Gunbarrel! Boulder has a plethora of microbreweries, as y'know. So what will make you think Asher will rise to the top? Two beers in particular ... and perhaps a third as well. The Greenade Double IPA has an amazingly distinctive full-bodied flavor, and the Green Monstah is terrific ale. Both are pretty strong (10% ABV) but you'd never know. Beers here are brewed using only organic ingredients. Perhaps that's why they have such a unique taste, uh? I dunno, but I'll say that I've never had better ale or IPA. I'm disappointed that they didn't have the Amber available in the tasting room; it's all sold out. I hear that it's great too. Tasting room is open daily 4-8pm and 2-7pm on Saturday. *** Definitely check it out sometime. You won't be sorry. *** read more

What a hidden gem in the Gunbarrel neighborhood! This place gets overshadowed by Avery down the road but Asher has some awesome beers as well (and all organic!). I went with two friends and we all did flights to sample the 8 most popular beers. Each flight was $12 which was reasonable for the amount of beer that we were served. Our waitress even let us taste a few beers before deciding on ordering flights. There is outdoor seating and plenty of room indoors to catch a football game, play a board game with friends, or even video games. Our waitress was super friendly and regularly checked-in with us even as we sat away from the bar area where most of the other customers were situated. Looking forward to hitting up this place in the future! read more

This place is really great. A quiet and relaxing brewery with some really amazing organic brews. We like the Ginger Bomb Ale, however our dog Gemma really likes the Outmeal Stout! Great patio, sitting outside and enjoying moments of normalcy! read more

Asher Brewing Company - Dog Gemma loving the patio and a nice Oatmeal Stout! - Breweries Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

This is a place I've heard of before and honestly it was on our way to another brewery so we popped in to just check it out. I was both shocked and excited when I saw a fresh hop IPA on tap so I immediately went for it. To date, it is my favorite fresh hop beer, which says a LOT. We also had the Kolsh with coffee and that was to die for. We tend to like coffee beers and found some amazing ones throughout Colorado and this is right up there with the best. The space itself is pretty cool... they have a nice sized patio but also in their warehouse they have cornhole, darts and other games set up, which is perfect for a cold, ugly day (not that Colorado has a ton of those!). Very happy we happened upon this place. read more

Good customer service. A lot of space for cornhole and foosball. Decent beer. Very hop heavy menu. A lot of chairs outside. Good area inside. A little hard to find. Cheers. read more

I love how this brewery lets you bring your dogs inside. We went to the backroom which was pretty spacious and had a dart board and a pool table. 2 of their barrels were out so by getting a full flight (6 beers) I got to try all the beers. I was more of a fan of the lighter beers. The service was fantastic. Great place to hang out. read more

Guess I should have saved the best for last! I really wanted to love Asher but it just was average beer but the service was exceptional. Kate served us and she was awesome, so good I gave her a $6 tip on a $12 bill! Beer was nothing special - it was meh or really I should say "thin". I know "thin" is the kiss of death but really there was nothing memorable or solid about the experience except for the service. read more

Awesome place that I can see myself frequenting. What can beat organic ales and a little competition? I had treehugger amber, which was really flavorful to my palette and had a good body. Service was quick. We walked up to the bar and were attended to promptly. We got there a little after dark. We were able to see the string lighting they have out front on the large, branchy tree outside. It stands next to and hangs out over an outdoors area. Looks nice for warm evenings. The front interior was dim lit and standing area. The back interior is bright. There are tables to sit at. There is darts, two cornhole sets, and foosball. One wall is covered with framed photographs, which is neat to look at. The other wall has a large piece of artwork that you should give yourself time to observe and reflect, if that's how you do. I want to come back and experience it again. Probably because they compost and that stole my heart. read more

Asher Brewing Company - The spot - Breweries Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Wow... this is a great find. And find it you must. It is located in an industrial park, and not really easy to find, but it is worth the effort. They make some high quality brews, and a bonus in that they are all organic. I love the brew names and logs: Green Lantern, Green Bullet IPA, Greenade Double IPA, Green Monstah Strong Ale, and Tree Hugger Organic Amber. I tried them all, and not a bad one in the bunch (except I didn't really favor their winter special sour). The staff are super friendly and chill, and I hope these guys start distributing around the downtown Denver area soon, and better yet... make it out West to California. read more

I drove all the way out here on Sunday without checking the hours first. I was with my girlfriend and we saw that they weren't open yet when we pulled up. Luckily they were going to open in 15 minutes, so we popped a squat and sat in the outdoor seating area. After about 5 minutes the woman opening up came out and let us in early. We told her we found out about Asher through the Boulder Passport and we were there to get out BOGO flight deal. So she got us a couple of flights, explained every beer with a lot of detail and told us a little bit about the brewery itself. Like many people in the area we try to eat organic, natural and local as much as possible and this brewery is right up that alley. They are 100% organic and the spot itself is a very good place to spend a relaxing Sunday. We went into the back room where they have two sets of bags, foosball, darts, etc. We played a game of bags against each other while I drafted my fantasy football team on my phone and we drank our flights. Afterwards, we went back out to the outdoor area and purchased some of our favorite pints from the flight. The Kolsh and Double IPA were my favorite. I bought a pack of the IPA to bring home. I will definitely be back, and I will be sure to keep an eye out for Asher Beers whenever I'm in liquor stores around here. read more

A fairly low-key and casual brewery, we spent NYE here. There was a nice space next to the main floor with some couches and games (this was great) and then more open space in the back with more games and such. I....... can't quite remember the beers I had, but I remember liking them. Not a great review, but as with most breweries, there's a wide selection and you'll probably find something that fits your palate. The staff was friendly and everything else great. read more

A few friends and I recently went on a self-guided, socially distant, bike ride and brewery tour of the Gunbarrel region of Boulder. Of the four breweries we explored Asher Brewing was by far our favorite. It is tucked away in an office space, providing a laid-back experience, small outdoor patio and plenty of parking. Their organic beers did not disappoint - we each had a flight and loved every sip. I only wish they distributed in Denver but was happy to hear they have growlers for sale! read more

This is Colorado's first all organic brewery. I am not a health nut, but thought this was interesting and was curious to see if there was any taste difference. We tried their IPAs both the regular and the DIPA. They definitely have a different taste, but I can't put my finger on what it is. My favorite beer was the Tree Hugger Amber. Ambers and Browns are my jam so I have had a lot of them. This one is really good. I could have sat out on their patio in the cool 60 degree sun all day long. I like that they are open at 2pm which is an hour earlier than most tap rooms in the area. Ari was super friendly and accommodating. They have a really nice space inside with a small bar area, a couch lounging area, and a huge game room in the back with cornhole, fooseball table, and dart boards. I would definitely stop back here when in the area. read more

Came here the other evening for some beers with my roommates and we all enjoyed our beers. I tried their double ipa and oat beer. Both were great. The double was great, hoppy and strong and the oat beer was so smooth and creamy. read more

Asher is great. If you are visiting the behemoth brewer in the neighborhood, by all means make the small effort to walk down the street and pay a visit to support this excellent small, all-organic brewer. The beer is very good and our bartender, Monique, could not have been any nicer. We had such a lovely visit with her and look forward to returning. read more

I used to love the beers here. The vibe was always a bit strange, but I never minded. Too bad the owner models his hospitality from Biff Tannen. On Sunday, after a long tennis match, the allure of a Green Bullet IPA was too great to ignore so I jumped on my cruiser bike and pedaled over. As I pull up, I see some guy sitting out front nuzzling his girlfriend. No biggie. They both look up at me and the guy cracks up laughing. WTF? He's staring right at me sneering/laughing. What, am I a freshman back in high school and I stumbled upon the cool kid's table in the cafeteria? Is Biff going to demand I do his homework and give me noogies? I have way too much to lose to start a fight with some loser, so I choose to ignore the jerk and go inside to get my beer. So, a little while later, Biff comes in, goes behind the bar and pours himself a pint. Whoa, so this guy works here? Yep. He's the owner, Chris Asher. What was it, Chris? You didn't like my bike? My attire? My hair? Considering the normal cast of characters who frequent this place, maybe you didn't like my "suburban dad Sunday chic" outfit. Not enough ink? No cig hanging from my mouth? Whatever it was, you lost a customer for life and I will continue to share this story, not so much to smear your brand, but I've been getting some pretty good laughs. (I do your sneering laugh pretty well.) Of course, you have every right to sneer at anyone you want. Hey, it's your business, knock yourself out. But, I've lived in Boulder for 32-years and have never experienced that type of obnoxious greeting at an establishment, let alone a brewery. The Boulder ethos of "live and let live" is lost on people like you. You know what, Chris? Maybe you should post a dress code or age limit on your website so some of us who don't fit your narrow window of acceptance will know we're not welcome ahead of time. Maybe you giggle at the handicapped, too. Who knows? Oh, I read your reply on this page to the election night dude: "Asher Brewing prides itself in maintaining a congenial atmosphere in which folks of all political persuassions and backgrounds can enjoy themselves in the company of great organic beer." Now, that right there is hilarious. read more

Asher Brewing Company - Your warm and welcoming owner, Chris Asher. - Breweries Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I like to support small business and believe in letting bygones be bygones, so I wasn't going to leave a review, but since it has been communicated that I am no longer welcome at Asher for reasons I believe are intolerance in action, I've decided to express my opinion. I would have given Asher a 3 out of 5 (or 5/10). The beer selection is extremely hop heavy, the best one is mediocre, and all are slightly overpriced. The bartenders are good, though it's not a full bar, with only a handful of taps and snacks to manage. The brewery is in an unfinished strip mall unit with a 15 ft front bar, loading bay for Corn-hole and Darts, a front "patio" which simply is a sectioned off area of the parking lot, and smoking area next to the back dumpsters. So if I don't like the place all that much, why was I there? Because my friends love the place and I occasionally go there when invited; such was the case on election night 2016. . . In a nutshell, I spent most of election night drinking and playing Darts with friends; I fully expected and was prepared for a Hillary win. While getting a drink from the bar I heard a few hateful comments about conservatives, expressed my lack of appreciation over the assertions, and exposed myself as conservative, only to be openly and violently excoriated by more than half the patrons in the immediate area around me. Later, after returning to my friends and keeping to myself, I went to smoke (by myself), when a group of about 15 people came outside and began harassing me about my beliefs, only to interrupt any response by turning into a hate filled mob, lacking only torches and pitchforks. I received a volley of insults, curse words, and threats. The most outspoken of the mob, who later I was informed was the owner, Asher, I believed was ready to assault me; fortunately the bartender came outside and settled him and the crowd down (a 'thank you' to her). A little while later, the bartender told me that while the events of the night were unfortunate, they didn't discriminate against differences in beliefs, and I was welcome back if I chose to return. I acknowledged my regret for the events unfolding like they did, gave her kudos for handling a tough situation so well, thanked her for getting involved, and I left soon after. Then . . . More than a month later, I was told I was banned by the owner for the trouble I "caused" despite me being the one targeted by Asher and his friends and receiving physical threats from them. Believe it or not, I support Asher banning anyone for any reason, including me for fault on my part which he would say is real and I would argue is imagined; it's his business and has a right to serve or not serve anyone for any reason, good or bad. I do not, however, support his (and his patrons'), intolerance to the point of physical threat, extreme ad hominem insult, and banishment due to another holding an opposing view, while they preach a "holier than thou" message of "tolerance". If you go here it isn't likely you will be blown away by their product, nor is it likely you'll be attacked like I was for holding a different opinion. Certainly my story could have happened at any bar on a heated election night with alcohol as a factor, but it happened here, at Asher. I was going to leave it be, since I truly have feel no ill will towards Asher, until I was banned from returning. Asher, I wish you and your business the best of luck in the future and the circumstances may have been unique, but while my hands may not be completely clean from fault, the way I was treated by you and how you encouraged your patrons to act towards me for my views is NOT ok. Update: the owner setting the record "perfectly straight" is a flat out lie. I had to threaten to call the police before he backed off yelling at me. read more

I read a review about Asher in the paper, and was excited to try it out. Asher's location can be a bit challenging to find, but well worth the hunt. The tap room is small; however, I enjoyed the opportunity to talk with Steve, one of the owners and brewers. Steve let me sample all the beers (an IPA, a double IPA, a Wheat, and an Amber). I enjoyed all of them. My favorite by far was the double IPA. While enjoying the beer, Steve took me on a quick tour of the brewhouse. I liked the fact that Steve and his partner has put their souls in to this (and probably their future retirement!). I also like the fact its an organic brewhouse. Steve talked with me about the organic malts they use and the hops from New Zealand, certified organic. They only keg right now, although you can buy growlers to go. They plan to expand to canning operations in the near future. Please go visit them. Their beer is good, and if you're like me and enjoy the small, craft brewing tradition, you'll love this place. Plus, Steve's fun to talk to and learn about beer. Make sure you say hello to Bandit, the brewhouse dog. read more

Asher is an excellent little brewery situated in the outskirts of Boulder. I have had their taster sets which are real good but the Asher beer that I like best has got to be the Green Lantern. It seems very popular with everyone as well because the second time that I went here they were clean out. They have fun logos for their beer too which is reflected onto their t-shirts. Unfortunately their t-shirts are very popular and are often sold out as well. Staff knowlegeable, friendly and helpful! read more

The beer was always average but this used to be a fun place to hang out at on the off week night. Apparently they now hire yuppie bar tenders... RIP read more

My wife and I stopped in this past weekend to try their beers for the first time. We were out on a mini-tour that started with Left Hand, then to Oskar Blues Tasty Weasel Tap Room, and ending up at Asher. We split a sampler of the five standard beers. They didn't have a seasonal option at this time. Nice chill atmosphere with a good vibe coming from the staff as well as the other customers. I really enjoyed the Green Bullet and ended up getting a pint. A very fresh, hoppy, clean beer with a ton of flavor. I like what they are doing here and I think we will see more of them around. read more

The beers here are pretty good, but at 2 bucks a taster? meh... Cool room for playing corn-hole, that's sweet. Got a little sick of all the "green-washing" read more

I stumbled upon Asher a few months ago when it was too cold to go further than a mile for a drink. Now that spring has arrived, I am hooked! I've definitely always been a beer girl, but Asher takes it to a new level. They have some of the best beer in the world (yes, the world! And, I have drank beer in many countries). The fact that Asher uses only organic ingredients definitely affects the taste and quality of the beer. The atmosphere is great. After picking up business during the summer of '10, they expanded from a one room shack to a larger unit next door that has a back room with bags (cornhole), darts, TV showing games, and art from local artists that's for sale. The only downside is that they have no kitchen, which is dangerous given that most of their beer is around 10%. (Welcome to Colorado!). On Fridays and Saturdays, a local barbecue truck parks out front. So go then if you can. If you are a first timer at Asher, try the sampler. But, the double IPA is hands down, the best! Cheers! read more

I visited Asher Brewery for a tasting last week and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I had never even heard of Asher, and am not that familiar with the Gunbarrel area but I found it pretty easily, even in the dark. I like a wide variety of beer and will pretty much try anything, and I was impressed with everything I tasted (the only one I didn't taste was the Green Monstah). The Kolsch and Amber were probably the stand-outs for me, and I also really liked the IPA. The seasonal sour was very different (I'm not that familiar with sours), and I'm interested in trying more after tasting that one. I'm not so sure I'd want an entire growler of it but I would definitely drink it occasionally. After sampling (almost) everything, I really felt like there was something for everyone there. I also attended a brewery tour before the tasting, and it was very interesting for someone like me who loves beer but doesn't home brew or know a whole lot about the actual brewing process. It was so obvious from talking to the owners how much passion and knowledge they have. I really enjoyed hearing them answer questions and talk about their brewing backgrounds. I wish I lived a little closer so I could vist more frequently, but since I don't I have a feeling I will be buying growlers any time I'm in the area. I love to support home-grown places like this (especially since they're organic), and I have a feeling they're going to grow significantly in the future. read more

Been a fan of these guys since before the latest mega-brewery boom - discovered them on tap at a few hardcore vegetarian/vegan restaurants on the Front Range so tracked em down. Running an organic brewery is not for the faint of heart - take the tour if you are there at the right time and have your eyes opened. However, when the beer ingredients line up with this style of brewing, the result will far exceed comparable others. These guys have a hop wizard on staff, and the GreenAde Double IPA is still one of my favorites. Some of their other more experimental or mainstream stuff is fine, but not nearly as standout as the hops-centric varieties, IMHO. Also, as an expat new englander, I enjoy the subtle but clear boston sports swag presence. The back room is a pretty cool hangout spot that would be a great vibe in the winter, and the chill patio out front is nice in the evening. FYI - no smoking out front but there is a few dog tie-offs ;) Worth a stop on a brewery tour to at least catch your breath and experience a rarity - a true organic brewery. read more

Asher is one of the best small breweries. I love their IPA. It ranks right up there with a West Coast IPA. I had a BOCO deal. Love it. Got a glass too. Service was awesome. Met one of the owners at Yelp Craftafternoon, and he told us this deal was coming.. What a nice place. It is not overcrowded, but a nice crowd with excellent beer. Will go back and bring friends. Great double IPA, too. I am a hop head. $5 a pint for IPA. read more

Loved, loved, loved Asher! Even though Avery is bigger, more established brewery, Asher (right across the street within walking distance) was recommended to my friends and me while traveling through Boulder as the preferred local spot. I personally agreed - it was stocked with board games and videos games from my childhood, cornhole and more. The bartenders clearly took a more personal interest in the guests there and even offered to turn on my alma mater's basketball team playing. It goes without saying the organic beer was delicious, too! I got the green bullet IPA and really enjoyed it! read more

Service sucks. This chick is a complete bitch!! And its not just this time, its every time we are in here. What is her deal?? Beer is decent. Not the best, not the worst. The best part about this place? The cornhole and foosball sets out back. read more

It was the first brewery in Gunbarrel and we used to go there and enjoy it, but now there's better options in Gunbarrel and of course many in Boulder. It seems like it's always the same beer and same crowd. The smoking outside also ruins the enjoyment too, because they don't have a designated area, so you're often surrounded by cigarette smoke, if you try to sit outside and enjoy a pint. I appreciate them being the first brewery in that area, but they have to experiment sometimes and change things up. read more

Best place in the neighborhood to hang out and grab a pint. Awesome beer, friendly cool people behind the bar, and a great crowd of regulars. They host fun things like corn hole competitions, trivia, and even a farmers market. Great spot for the community. The Amber is really nice and malty, kind of desserty and goes down smooth. The green bullet is a classic west coast style IPA with a clean profile and balanced bitterness. They have some that rotate and some that are constant. Good stuff. read more

Super friendly and helpful staff. The brewery is 2 miles from the boulder creek bike path so a great starting/ending/midway break for rides. The IPA boasted a hoppy flavor with a well balanced finish. They have a great selection of beers overall. They have a beautiful patio space that is dog friendly and in the fall shows off gorgeous fall colors. On weekend nights they have food stands/trucks. Friday night we were lucky to have the cheeses for charity (benefiting the local children's hospital) which featured a unique and delicious combination of flavors. It complements the beer very well! Definitely a boulder favorite! ! Stop here! read more

Going off the beaten path is rewarded with premium ale. Asher is all organic and blue collar at the same time. The poor working person can hang their hat and feel warmly welcomed. I have had 3 of their beers they brew and all are nice balanced and delicious. The bartenders are patient and sincere about making sure you are happy. The people in charge here surely are diligent at bringing quality to their product. read more

Great little tasting room. It's a bit hard to find, being tucked away in a business park, but it's worth the trek. The IPA is quite good. Just be aware that this is a small tasting room, so be prepared to stand (there is very limited seating). read more

Organic Organic Organic Organic Organic Okay I get it, you are a bunch of hippies that think organic stuff is magical and has healing properties and is going to save the planet. It's not. But that's beside the point, the beer here is freagin good. Easily one of the most drinkable IPA's I have ever tasted, meaning I can throw one back without it feeling like too much. This CAN be dangerous when I'm not thinking about how much I'm drinking. I have had to be picked up from there on more than one occasion. Definitely a place all should check out. read more
