I had Moondoor Dunkel because I love the dark beers. It was a nice Dunkel. The taproom space was very loud. There is no sound dampening at all so it was really hard to carry on a conversation. It was too cold and drizzly to sit outside as we would have moved otherwise. We sat near the door to the brewhouse. There were employees periodically entering and exiting the door. Whenever that happened there was a very unpleasant waft of off smell. It did not smell like wort or fermentation but more methane like. We finished our beers and headed out.

I'll be honest. We were visiting from out of town, and purposefully stopped in Longmont, CO to…read morevisit Left Hand Brewery. We had tried several of their beers in the past, and really enjoyed them. However, when we arrived at the brewery, they happened to be closed. After being disappointed for a moment, we, there were four of us, decided to stop at a brewery down the street. Luckily enough, this brewery just happened to be Bootstrap. As you can see from my 5 star rating, I really liked Bootstrap. Visiting at that specific time seemed meant to be because while sitting outside at their outdoor patio, we saw a beautiful double rainbow !! Some of the things that I liked about Bootstrap was the friendly staff!! They were very welcoming and gave us tips about where to go in Colorado. Also, there brewery was large with plenty of tables and a stage for live music, open mic nights and karaoke. And of course their beer was delicious with a wide selection to suit everyone's tastes.

It was way back in 2012 when I first went to Bootstrap Brewing and they were located in Niwot. But…read moreas the years passed it looks like they had two locations and one opened in Longmont. Then more time passed and they closed the Niwot when and now only the Longmont location remains. Recently I had a beer from Bootstrap. It was the Chillax, a Pineapple Golden Ale. I thought it was alright but I'm not necessarily convinced I'm wildly in love with Pineapple beers. Just a little too sweet but I wanted to challenge myself on this occasion and I thought it was just fair. But as I said I have been to Bootstrap before... a few times actually and I have a lot more enthusiasm for their chile beer or their cherry ginger beer. So if you can get a hold of those definitely do. They are older beer releases and at the time I didn't see them but I'd definitely keep your eyes out for those!

A little hidden gem off the main path. Stopped in for dinner, one night while camping nearby and…read morewas pleasantly surprised by a nice selection of beer, as well as great food choices, including the pierogi dinner, which you don't see often on a restaurant menu let alone a brewery menu. I would give them a 9.5 out of 10 only losing points because they were deep-fried and I think they would've been much better if they were panfried. Of course, being biased coming from the Chicago area where pierogies are I'm just about every menu in the city. But they were fresh tasty serve with sauerkraut and a lemon drizzle salad. Of course I ate every last bite so maybe I should give it a 10 out of 10. The beer selection was great being Oktoberfest. I ordered one of the seasonal choices, don't remember the name, but it was tasty nonetheless. I followed it up with a wheat beer, which again very tasty. Service was quick Friendly and I enjoyed the interior with the race car themed decor. Glad we found it cause it's not on the normal driving path. You must drive on one of the back roads, but well worth finding and digging into their menu both food and drink.

My daughter does not have a taste for beer so she sampled the seltzer and settled on the Cherry Popper. I am always for the dark beers so after trying a sample of the brown and the stout, I chose Wired Greasy Grinder milk stout. The seltzer was interesting as it was not back-sweetened like so many are. It was more like a flavored sparkling water, but with alcohol. She really liked it. The milk stout had a wonderful malty, roasty flavor that I love. When my friend arrived, she chose the same as me and we all sat and enjoyed some conversation. This is a nice location tucked away just off I-25. I look forward to visiting again.

Your first appetizer here should absolutely be the white cheese fondue w/ warm pretzel to help you determine whether you want a full entree next or 6 more orders of that cheese.

Their whole menu has some pretty great items from their hot honey chicken sandwich and a bowl of their incredible green chili to their fresh Thai peanut chicken salad.

The servers will even bring out a water bowl for your pup! Every server my wife and I have had has been personable, friendly, and has done a great job. The food is amazing--you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favorite is the Colorado Fried Chicken Sandwich, and we almost always start with the homemade Couch Potatoes. They're a must! The atmosphere is always fun and laid-back, and they even have live music from time to time. I'd also recommend signing up for their text updates because they're always sending out specials, events, and other fun things happening at the brewery. Great food, great drinks, great service, and an awesome atmosphere. One of those places we keep coming back to. Easy 5 stars from me!!
