Honestly, I popped in here because I was in Boulder for the night for an interview. I wanted something with salmon and day they had some options. I got a large Caesar salad with double smoked salmon and some green chili on the side. First, I just want to say even on a rainy Sunday night this place was busy so patrons love it. The staff was very friendly which was nice and dogs are welcome. The salad was a good portion and the smoked slalom was pretty good. I really liked the green chili with had nice flavor and came with rice and corn bread. This is a good place to pop in for a drink or some good food. I recommend stopping by if in the area. read more

Great beer in a very fun environment! Food is excellent too. Simple menu but everything is well made and delicious.

I just had Sunday lunch here and wanted to leave a great review since it was a great experience. The service and the food were both very good and the vibe was happy with many babies, puppies and people chilling in the outdoor area. Above all, the people working there seem like they're out to make your visit pleasurable. There's a choice to order from a person or scan the menu (and add via scanning along the way with an open tab). Either way, food came fast and with a smile and we were waited on by everyone. There isn't a dedicated server and it worked great. We had the pretzel and shared the fish and chips. All was very fresh and hot. The fried food seemed especially fresh compared to usual restaurant fare. All in all, I felt really happy and satisfied and glad we chose to try Avery Brewing! read more

Don't come here unless you like excellent beer and food. Old Jubilation was our favorite beer, but several were very good. We tasted 7 and all were good. Cool atmosphere and good service. Top notch brewery restaurant! read more

Excellent food. The bbq meat is perfectly done. Only down side - the place is crawling with flies. They should implement some type of fly control (if you google it there are many solutions) read more

We are the brisket and rib plates, both tasted amazing. We are surprised how tender and flavorful the brisket was. I had the black is beautiful stout and enjoyed it very much. The brewery is beautiful. read more

The food was pretty delicious. But this place is by far more brewery than a restaurant. So, don't come here unless you're going to drink. We did not drink, and it kind of appears that the food comes second and the beer comes first. The music they play is super weird. The wait staff is not super attentive. And, they have fallen into the trap of most other restaurants of thinking it's OK to charge extra for the kitchen staff. They charge an extra 4% on every bill for the kitchen staff. Why they can't just pay their kitchen workers what they want to pay them And raise their prices accordingly, is beyond me. It's not my job to pay your employees. You pay them what you want and charge what you need to for your food and drink, and I'll decide whether to come. It's pretty easy. Don't guilt me into paying 4% on the bill without any prior notification Until I sit down. I hate how Colorado restaurants do this. If you wanna pay your kitchen staff an extra 4%,, raise your prices 4% and then pay your kitchen staff What you wanna pay them. Don't know why this extra fee has been popping up all over a Colorado. Just pay your kitchen stuff what you think they're worth. And raise your prices accordingly, and if I can afford to come, I will if not, I won't. It's pretty simple. read more

My partner and I came in last Saturday night and were seated promptly and then treated to the best service we have ever experienced at Avery. We had two main servers, Eva and Sierra and they were very friendly, efficient, and attentive. The beer was amazing, per usual, with our favorites being The Gold Digger, Umami Mami, Thirty, and the classic Reverend. The food was amazing as well. We had some fries with some mustard and ranch, a pretzel with cheese dip, a Caesar salad, and a chicken sandwich. At the end of the meal, Chavonne came over and introduced herself and thanked us for coming in and asked if we had a good experience. We felt very taken care of and we will be back! We highly recommend Avery Brewing! read more

Avery Brewing is the best - awesome beer and great food with friendly service. We popped in on a Friday when they first opened for lunch with a party of 20 and they were sooooo kind to accommodate us!!!! Lucky we got there first thing - it gets busy quickly. The service was efficient, everyone got exactly what they ordered and we even received a small sample of a new beer . We usually sit outside, but we ventured inside to escape the fall weather chills. With 20 people, we sampled about everything on the menu from roasted chick peas to fish & chips to salads and brisket. The plates were empty and everyone was happy with their meal. You can't go wrong at Avery! read more

When I travel to other cities on vacation, I like to try new places I have never been and do not typically go anywhere twice. That is unless the place makes such a great impression on me that I go every time I am in the area. Avery Brewing did that to me. I had one of their products back home and I made a note that I would visit it if I made it out to CO. Avery is in Boulder, just a short, beautiful drive from Denver. The staff and even the people visiting are always so friendly and inviting. This past visit, the weather was amazing and the outdoor space outside was where the party was at. We got seated right away. We came right from the airport and were hungry and very thirsty. Water was not going to cut it. I needed some of their delicious brews. Liliko'i Kepolo is the beer that won me over years ago. It is now called Island Rascal. To this day it is one of my favorite beers. I like sour beers so I got all of those along with a few others. What I love about Avery is, the flavors are very true to their descriptions. Alot of breweries try and sell a flavor and it doesn't taste anything like the description. I have yet to try anything I have not liked their. Not only are the beers good, the food is outstanding as well. We've been through alot of the menu and everything we have had has been delicious. I love this place so much, that I always make room in my luggage to bring stuff back. Do yourself a favor and check them out too. I know I will be back for sure! read more

Great space outdoors to enjoy a few beers. I ordered a number of their experimental beers and all of them were quite delicious. They had Avery Tweak available which is definitely worth an order if you like stouts and haven't tried it. I went with their offerings that tended towards fruity without being too sweet. I suspect those beers will rotate off the menu. As far as food, the pretzel seems to be a go to order, but I opted for the gumbo. It was fine, but I'd probably pick the pretzel on a subsequent visit. Service was very friendly and helpful in selecting some good beers. Overall, Avery Brewing offers spectacular beers at fair prices accompanied with some decent food and a nice outdoor section. It's worth a visit if you are close to Boulder. read more

Stopped in for a quick bite and beer. We had two beers, a fried chicken sandwich and a pretzel with cheese. The food came out quickly and the chicken sandwich was sooo good! Beers and pretzel were good also but the chicken sandwich stole the show! read more

Incredible coleslaw with fennel! * Fish & chips - good not greasy..fish was a bit dry Nice large outdoor seating area..perfect for sitting outside. We had the best server (Kayla) who helped us.

Brewery close to where we stayed & visited a couple of times. Great atmosphere, great beers & helpful staff. We had Ellie's Brown ale which I wish I could get at home. We sat inside as it was an unusually hot couple of days but they have a really nice outdoor area too. read more

Took the tour and it was worth every penny of the $10. Great presentation and more samples of beer than I expected. Super beers, even though I'm not much of a beer drinker. Something for everyone! read more

Great service, food a little overpriced but good. Fantastic craft beers. Sat outside and while it was hot - the umbrella helped. Cool place but a bit of a weird location read more

While this is a brewery, my review is purely for the food experience. At the time, I wasn't really feeling beers but I did notice a great selection and it seemed like all of my friends enjoyed their beers. It's obviously a popular spot to hang out. When we arrived, every single table was taken, there were groups just standing outside with their beers, enjoying the sun and the company. Luckily, we had put our names down earlier through their online waitlist and didn't have to wait long. Each table outside has QR codes and everyone can order on their own instead of as a party. It's linked to the table that you're sitting at so the workers will know where the food goes. Pretty efficient system since you don't have to wait around for your server and you can help yourself to water, utensils, and napkins. Gumbo: I wasn't too impressed by this small side of gumbo. I felt like there weren't enough flavors and the meat was just like dried shredded pieces. The cornbread was really good though. Order that by itself if possible! Fish and Chips: Comes with two large pieces on a bed of fries. We got ketchup, tartar sauce, and malt vinegar on the side. Not bad, but everything was sitting in a pool of either oil or vinegar. Either way, nothing stayed crispy for long. What a fantastic place to hang out when it's nice and warm outside. I wasn't too impressed by their food and will have to come back for their beers next time. read more

Big fan of Avery after my initial visit. They've got a large grassy (dog friendly) patio with lots of outdoor seating, and some indoor seats if that's what you're into. They have a couple yummy sour beer options, and their veggie tacos had very fresh ingredients with a ton of flavor; I probably wouldn't order them again because I want to try something different, but can recommend. Also had excellent service the whole time, always had water (me and my dog), and never had to wait long for anything despite it being a busy weekend evening. Prices are reasonable and there's plenty of parking in the lot. Sick vibes all around. Bravo, I'll be back! read more

I've been a loyal customer of Avery Brewing for years, but my recent visit with my family, including my newborn baby, left me deeply disappointed. During our meal, I went to change my baby in the women's restroom and found the only changing table in unacceptable condition: it was covered in used wipes, a used diaper, paper towels, and was next to a bucket of cleaning chemicals. Given the state of the facility, I made the decision to change my baby discretely on the ground, on a sanitary pad, near our patio table and behind our stroller. While doing this, the on-duty manager approached and told me I was not allowed to change my newborn baby there. I approached her again after I had finished the task and explained that I had checked the restroom first and even showed her a photo of the unsanitary conditions. She told me she didn't care and that it was the rule, no diaper changes outside, apparently no matter the condition of the provided facilities. She also suggested my husband try the men's room instead, which felt dismissive and unhelpful. What was most upsetting wasn't just the lack of a clean space to care for my child, but the complete lack of understanding or empathy from the manager. Her attitude completely undercut the excellent service we had received from our waiter. He earned the redemptive second star in this review. As a parent and longtime customer, I expect better. We won't be returning, and I hope Avery takes this feedback seriously, maintains cleaner facilities, and trains staff to support families with small children in a more respectful and reasonable way. There are so many high quality breweries in the area to direct business to, we will not customers here any longer. read more

We came here after hiking in Boulder. Not knowing a thing about the area, we picked Avery because they kept showing up in every Yelp search. As we were driving, we were concerned because it seemed like we were going through an office park, and then BAM Avery Brewing stands out. It was a great choice to stop here. The space itself is INCREDIBLE - the self-guided tour and merch shop alone were beautiful, and the gorgeous patio was perfect for humans and dogs. We sat outside and had prompt service. I'm not a beer person but our server let me try a couple of sours that non-beer drinkers usually like. Weren't for me, but I got a mango seltzer that hit the spot. My partner got a flight and really loved everything he tried. But honestly their drink menu was HUGE - there is absolutely something for everyone. We also had lunch. A cup of pork green chili soup, fish and fries, and veggie tacos. Everything was fireee. After a long hike, it's hard to tell what the body wants, but honestly whether it's the veggies or a fried fish platter, everything was exactly what we needed. Each dish was really well seasoned and sooo much better than normal bar food. Special shout out to the carrot habanero sauce on the veggie tacos - I want to bottle that!! My only little complaint is that there was only 1 seltzer on the menu, but when we went into the merch shop after eating we saw a whole cooler of different seltzer flavors. I would have loved to order some of the others, even if they just came in the can. read more

This is a very cool brewery. E are visiting friends in the area and they took us here for drinks. The outdoor space is great with lots of room. They had a full house! They had lawn games, music and lots of seating options. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable. We tried a few different options and then afterwards checked out the gift store. They have really nice swag in their upstairs space! read more

Stopped by here on a rainy Thursday evening for dinner and a beer. It was pretty crowded inside due to the rain, but my husband and I got seated right away. Our server friendly and was quick to get our drink order. I got the Ellie's Brown Ale which was good and smooth. I had it with the cheeseburger and fries. I like how it came as a deal for $17. I was very sad about the burger though. It looked really good but it was way overcooked and dry like a hockey puck :( read more

Wow, really fantastic experience. I love stout and porter beers, which can be hard to find, but Avery had a fantastic selection! For beers, I had: -- Barrel-Aged Mephistopheles - 10/10 - Amazing, super rich -- Pump[KY]n 2015 - 8/10 - A nice fall treat -- Night Warden - 8/10 - Solid, lighter bodied stout with a sweet bourbon finish -- Out of Mind - 7/10 - Built on the hoppy and barley forward Out of Bounds Stout, but brewed with African coffee. -- Mary Ann's Pie - 3/10 - I appreciate the effort, definitely creative, but couldn't finish it. We enjoyed all the food we had, including: -- Fried Chicken Sammy ($17.00) -- Brisket Plate with Bacon Mac-n-Cheese ($26.00) - 10/10 -- Das Pretzel with Nacho Cheese ($8.00) - 8/10 Service was friendly and ambience was very good. What's neat is you can explore the grounds on your own and get a birds eye view of the beer making from the mezzanine. read more

Large local brewery across from where I was staying. They have a huge selection of drinks on tap, and legit meal food. I liked the cider I got. I got the gumbo ($14) and found it bland and boring. I should've gotten the ribs or brisket, but I didn't have the appetite and wanted to save money. I would get ribs or brisket if I ever return read more

Spending a month in the area. Avery has a relaxed ambiance, good food and service. Would go back.

Simeon was so sweet and helpful. Great knowledge of the beer and great recommendations as well. Will definitely come back!

What a happy atmosphere we walked into! The staff was super kind despite working under the blazing sun outside and were extremely attentive. Big plus that they are very dog friendly. I felt like I was at a dog convention! Our food was not only super delicious, but the plating was so beautiful I almost felt like it was untouchable, haha. I tasted my fiancé's tacos and it was super flavorful! Needless to say he gobbled the rest of it fairly quickly. (I'm guessing it was to deter me from stealing more bites) My rascal salad was just as flavorful and I highly recommend adding the smoked salmon because they were plentiful with the quantity and it meshes really well with the ingredients. Super tasty! Oh and the Mac and cheese was yummy as can be. Interesting and fun pasta choice they used. Definitely will come back and try something else! read more

Arrived with 2 kids and 6 adults. Sitting inside was more than an hour wait so we were provided one outside table, yeah really. They reluctantly provided us with two tables. The only problem was that the server ignored one of the tables resulting in a very delayed food service to the second table. One table received their food almost before the second tables order was taken. The first table had to ask them to take the order. The ambiance was extremely hot with no relief for the summer sun. The shades at the tables did not adjust for the sun angle. The nachos were well put together balanced more towards spicy. We had to go to the waiter station to pick up our own silverware. The beer was excellent, just had to try and keep it out of the sun, if you liked it cool. When asked about size of salads, she demonstrated the small nacho serving plate. I turned out it was at least three times as large. A Buddha bowl was the other salad ordered and was not asked what dressing they wanted, honey fennel was on it which was not preferred. My chicken Sammy was cold the cheese was barely melted. The bun was very mediocre and not worth consuming. The coleslaw was lightly sauced and did not taste much different than cabbage. I did not attempt the commercial provided bag of chips. We were asked how it was, one replied OK, the others replied mediocre. Probably not a good idea to go back to the wait station shaking your head saying something disrespectful about the customers. Maybe an apology for poor service to customers would have been a better use of her time. Ms. D you can do better than this! read more

The ratings must be for the beer. Not the food. Fish and chips very over cooked and no flavor The bbq ribs had no smoke flavor. Just the rub flavor. The gumbo was ok but not outstanding. The corn bread was thin and dry. Only thing we enjoyed was the brisket nachos. Very tasty. There is a kitchen tip fee and they suggest an additional 18% tip. What for. We order online. We go to the Bar for our drinks. The food was delivered as we ate inside but not one follow up for water or tea refill. The tea was warm. Ice melted immediately. We won't be back. read more

This is a review of the brewery tour. We were told to refer to the beer guide as Joey "Hot Sauce", so I will refer to him as such under my own discretion. This was by far one of the best beer tours that I have ever received. This brewery tour was a journey that embarked on being casually informative backed by unrelenting enthusiasm. Joey is a very relatable guy that you can easily mistake as your best beer friend since he is a quick-witted connoisseur who makes any Q&A session enjoyable. This facility is neat, organized, and even contains a fermentation lab tucked away upstairs to tease onlookers that whoever is in there has a much better job than you might. I feel like the beer selection is ever-changing and adapts to the crowd that meets it. Couldn't have asked for a better beer tasting hosted by none other than Joey "Hot Sauce". read more

Great service, good and beverage!! Stopped in the gift shop for a few goodies too. Plan to go back next time we are in the area.

Alex is a badass server first of all. Was super generous to us on Father's Day, attentive and present. Second of all, I had to write a review because honestly their brisket nachos are one of my favorite things to eat period. The combination of the tangy beans, incredibly tender and tasty brisket along with the pickled Jalapenos...... they are a reason to go to Avery in and of itself, and then you get great strong unique beers.... I just love this place. It deserves that crazy high ratings that it gets. read more

Just one word- Wow! Now I've been to breweries around the country, and I was very impressed with Avery! They have one of the best combinations of great beer, huge location, and a great tourist draw. I can really only compare this with other large brewers in the area like Left Hand or Blue Moon, but this place blows them both out of the water! They have a downright huge building, with lots of outdoor spaces and tables. Large grain silos set the mood for beer, and the decor is perfectly themed. Staff is nice and helpful. Inside is a bit complicated with all the offerings. Downstairs is food and seating, and head upstairs for to go and more bar space. They have an impressive amount of glassware too! I had the Barrel Aged Raspberry Stout to go. Love the gold foil. Great taste of chocolate and fruit. Tastes like a real dessert! I'll be back soon for more! read more
