I drove an hr and 15 minutes from Denver just to visit here. It was worth it! My sister in law wanted a shirt. So I had to come and try beer! Small very cool space. With very friendly and helpful staff. The beer was freaking amazing! I got a flight of 8 which equals 2.5 pints! Great people, great beer and cool merch! Worth the drive! read more

Huge assortment of great beer, great food, great music. Great people, I was there and had a brat and an awesome Italian pasta. The brown ale was really delicious read more

We had been to this place in 2018 and were not impressed because their beers lacked any kind of flavor/character/boldness that made you want to come back for more. Thus began a six-year hiatus despite the fact that we live just two miles away. Well, we dropped in today because Big Beaver is one of the breweries included in our 2024 Pub Pass (pre-paid beer deal), and were pleasantly surprised at how things have changed. The ambiance is still funky, but the beer is excellent. I had the Potent Peter IPA and my wife had the Hoochi Coochie Kolsch. We'll be back to try their other creations and, perhaps, add another star to this rating! read more

Filthy names. Funny but Filthy. They have bunch of merch. Beer was good. Tender was knowdleable about the booze. You can tell he knows what he's doing. Not sure the name or ronchiness will sky rocket it to the next level sales wise but worth a try if you're near. read more

This has always been my favorite Colorado brewery, we rolled into town yesterday and went there to learn new owners and new recipes. We ordered juicy peach as it is amazing. Well the old owners took the recipes so this beer tasted sour and artificial. You can see by the glass we didn't finish drinking it. So I think the previous owners used something sweeter and more natural and maybe didn't filter but I won't be drinking this anymore. And the hours need to be updated on Yelp read more

Absolutely best Beer in town. Stephanie Wonderful ambiance and a local hang out. You can't beat local conversations and great beer. My favorite on the board Pecker Pilsner and Big Woody IPA. Grabbed a braut and had a great time. Cider Bar is available . Have to stop in while in Loveland. Loved it read more

Great place with great beer. The atmosphere is small and cozy, with a large and pun-filled beer selection. My friends subscribe to their perk program, and it seems to be one of the best anywhere (they often get texts for a free pint). Everyday they have specials if you are not on the perk program. Thursday night is game night for geeks, Saturday they offer yoga in the morning for a limited time. Other breweries could take some tips from this place. I'm from Atlanta, and though the city has many brewers, none offer yoga and a free pint! Definitely worth checking out, especially if you live nearby. read more

This place is great! It's tucked away off of west Eisenhower but perfectly easy to get to. We shared a flight and you get a lot of bang for your buck! All the beers have hilarious names and were pretty good. The staff was so knowledgeable and friendly, too. We will definitely be back! read more

Hidden gem...great beer, funny slogans. I had the juicy peach ale and loved it. I'm not a big craft beer drinker abs found this enjoyable and not heavy. Screw the pooch pale ale. Limited food choices but we grabbed a brat abs it was good. Fresh roll and lots of condiments. Of course we bought a tshirt...why wouldn't you? read more

Great service, the gal gave some great suggestions for my husband based on what I know he likes. Fast & friendly service on top of amazing delicious beer!! read more

Love this place! We have been twice, and plan to go back. This is our new main brewery - the staff is wonderful, and we have not had a gross beer yet! Great quality and hefty pours! read more

The wife and I stopped at Big Beaver on a Friday evening. I was going to use by buy one get one coupon from Donor Trail, but was told by the beertender that Friday's are buy one get one free, so save the coupon for another visit. That tip was appreciated. The beer we sampled was really good. read more

Positives: Great atmosphere, plenty of room to sit. The prices are good for a 12 oz jar $3.75. The background music is low enough you don't have to yell over it. The staff were accommodating and friendly. Not so great: All the beers taste pretty much the same. I sampled 4 different beers and they were alright but no different complexities I was expecting from a brewery (sorry). Confusing: They have about 20 beers, but the menu is labeled 1-10 twice. So if I want to order a number 3 they won't know which number 3 I want. A little more forethought and organization here wouldn't be a bad idea. Bummers: I ordered food for my sweetheart and never received it. When I enquired about it she apologized and made it for him. Although she comped the food for the inconvenience; it made for an unpleasant experience for my sweetheart. I would go back here for sure. I will just keep closer tabs on the food order if it is busy and only one staff is working. read more

Really an awesome little brewery located by the K-Mart in town. There are not many signs to indicate where it is and since it is in the back of a building it would be very easy to miss. So have that GPS handy! My favorite beers at Big Beaver thus far is definitely their IPA and their chile beer. They both tasted amazing! Of course ALL of their beer is awesome and the atmosphere is nice and intimate so you can pull up and have a conversation with the barkeep. Once again an awesome place! read more

No employees were wearing masks the weekend of 11/7, service was good though and they were friendly. The beers were only so-so (we had a flight and all of them were just... fine) there are better options in town. read more

Great beers and the owners are very nice. Also a great stop after hiking at Horsetooth Mountain.

Humor is 5 Star, atmosphere is 5, beers average a 4. The Scottish Beanbag was delish, but the bourbon stout left a little to be desired. The Amber Was Her Stage Name was a hit too! Overall, a great laid back brewery that makes me want to visit again and try more. Great service! Free pint with purchase of a T-shirt, and you'll probably want one! read more

I've heard of the brewery before, but I never knew where it was. My wife was talking to someone at a hair appointment and they found out they had similar tastes in beer and the other lady told her about this place. Soooo... off we went. They have the menu sorted out into two sections to which you can order samplers from each half. There were a couple on each side that we knew we wouldn't like, and didn't want (not our style); so we asked the bar tenders if we could make a custom sampler. She said no problem, handed us a laminated menu told us to pick 8. SCCCHHHWWWING! So we picked out what we wanted, including the special beer - MILF (a nitro porter). We like all of them to one degree or another, I ordered a glass of the MILF, and my wife got the Landing Strip Lager. I admit the MILF turned out OK, I had hoped once it warmed up a bit it would have been better; as I am a big fan of porters, nitro beers, and well MILFS :). However, we both agreed the Landing Strip Lager was the better beer and we ordered a growler of it to take home. We got a couple of Brats while we were there, and while they are nothing to brag about it was nice to have some decent food to eat along with the beer. Some people are going to have issues with the tongue-n-cheek names of everything here, so maybe those people should go up the freeway a bit and get themselves some fizzy yellow mass produced beer; it'll be more likely their style. Overall we really enjoyed the place, and will be stopping in when we can to get more inappropriately named beers! Giggity! read more

I am not a beer snob or even much of a connoisseur but on a recent brewery crawl in northern Colorado this was our fav by a long shot. The beer was great, service was fantastic, and this place was a lot of fun on Friday night. This is just a little hole in the wall ( actually a back door to a warehouse ) with hilarious names for beer for those that are not so uptight. So if you are not an uptight beer snob and you want to have fun instead of criticizing every brew this is the place to go. Chill out and slam me back! read more

Great atmosphere, great beer, fantastic beer tenders. You can't go wrong with a visit to The Beaver!

Top service, best brews and the best Beaver Hut in Colorado. I recommend Big Beaver to anyone looking for a great place to wet your lips with the finest brew around. Meet great people and share good times. read more

If you enjoy beer tasting in a really informal environment, this is a wonderful, new option! Big Beaver opened up just recently in a small facility in Loveland. While not quite ready for prime-time, they are offering tastings of their beers - spanning wheat, bock, brown ale, and IPA. The IPA and wheat, in particular, were outstanding, but all of them are quite good. Peter, the owner of the place, was very engaging, fun, and insightful on the beers. We had a great time there, and stayed for a pint of beer. As this place evolves, I suspect it will be one of the more "fun" places to try new beer recipes. And with the way they play up their namesake (the logo has a landing strip... really), you can tell they are not the most formal people in the industry! I will definitely be checking in on these guys often! read more

Great beer, good service, friendly environment, also pretty good food. Their taster trays are a great way to try all of their wonderful beers. read more

Outstanding beer. Every one of Big Beaver's beers have exceptional balance and smooth drinkability. The only food item is brats and onions on a George Foreman grill, but they were delicious and the buns were exceptional. These guys were not prepared for how quick they took off but with beers like these, I can see why they are so popular. From the FAQs I found on the counter: How do you plan on expanding? Open the garage door. - This was the case when I was there, people spilling out of the brewery into the driveway! I drove over an hour for the beer and it was worth every minute. Recommend going for a hike in nearby Devil's Backbone or Horsetooth Mtn. read more

Went here awhile back for my girl's 21st. Surprisingly, not a person in my party was ID'd, including the girl that JUST turned 21 that day. Oh well. We order a beer sampler or whatever. I didn't mind it too much. I felt like a lot of the beers were too bitter or sour, but to each their own. The brats we ordered were tasty, and the spicy mustard that they had was really good! Sadly, I won't be back due to the immature nature of the brewery and it's beers. Literally everything here is named after something profane or some sort of innuendo. I guess that's cool but I'm not into the whole potty-mouth aesthetic. read more

We love Big Beaver - this is our go-to local brewery - and when we say 'local' it's still 14 miles from home (the joys of living in the country). Even though we have to drive past at least another 3 breweries, we'll go the extra 3-4 miles to hit up Big Beaver. Why? Because they are friendly, the atmosphere is very casual, laid back and unpretentious (some breweries could take a big hint here). Their beer is affordable and despite what someone else said, we've never had a 'skunked beer' here. They offer a free taste of anything new or that you cannot remember, and we have NEVER had bad service. There are a few minor things that I might take issue with... - their tasting room opens quite late (2PM during the week) - the 'bar' area could be a little larger. - the main tasting room gets loud - too many people have discovered this gem. So what am I giving this place a 5-star review? They deserve it all day long. We'll continue to drive those extra few miles, because to us, it's worth it every time. read more

We ventured up to Loveland to try a new micro brewery. It had very nice beers. The atmosphere was cozy and friendly. The staff was exceptionally friendly. It is a very small brewery. The beer is served in Mason Jars. I would prefer in a pint glass to enjoy a good beer. The beer names were a little over the top. I think they are trying too hard to be cool, but sort of sleezy names. Other than that, we loved the place. read more

By far, my favorite place to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon - wearing my Beaver gear. Amber's my go-to when I'm trying to decide on what to drink next :) It doesn't matter your mood - a Beaver Teaser or Bush Wacker will brighten any day! read more

What a neat place, filled with interesting and friendly folks. We went for bingo night, what fun. Be sure to check the website for daily specials. The bratwurst is very good. read more

Children love this brewery. Especially babies. This is a great place to go if you want to escape your kids and be surrounded by everyone else's. They even put out games for kids. I have come on several occasions and couldn't get a table for my group because multiple tables were taken by children. As far as the beer goes, just lower your expectations before you go. They have about 16 on tap and I would say only 2 of them are done 'ok.' read more

The space is great. Cool is connected to a cidery. Beers were decent. Nothing too special. The theme is outrageous and crazy. I laugh every time I see their name and logo. read more

Interesting place and location. You arrive at what seems to be a place for small business offices, and you go outback to what almost seems like a back door out of no-where. The atmosphere inside is okay, not a place you would bring a first date too. I spent some time looking at the door on the second floor that opens up to nothing but a good drop for some unexpecting person. The majority of the drinks were tasty and I do love the Big Beaver humor on the t-shirts that they have for sale. read more

Best little brewery I have found in Northern CO. (Haven't been to all of them yet, but I'm working on it). Small space but always busy and always great service. Staff is awesome and the beer is the best I've found! read more

You'd be pretty hard pressed to drive across, around, about the beautiful Colorado and not hit a brewery within 30 minutes of your drive. This theory proved true after a morning fly fishing trip. Noon hit, and enter Big Beaver Brewing. The vibe of the joint is on par with other small breweries such as BBB, a little grunge paired with a lot of simplicity. The beers themselves can stand up to any other brewery. The Whiskey Dick Stout, specifically, goes well with any season, even the summer. Infusing it with Bourbon does it justice. I'd give it my thumbs up if you are up for a brew in Loveland. read more

Very cool hole in the wall, tucked away in a warehouse behind an old office building next to Kmart. I get the IPAs here & they're so tasty! Growlers available for take home... I go here at least 2x a month! I wish they would create an IPA shirt - I'd totally buy it! read more

If your looking for something a bit different, check this place out.. In the world of new breweries popping up everywhere BBBC is like your crazy uncle Willey of breweries, they show up and appear to want to be different than the standard local brewery. During our visit the beer was good, nothing terribly outstanding that I recall. If you have a 10th grade sense of humor (i do) you will crack up at the names of the beers and the overpriced shirts for sale... All in all, check this place out. The place is very simple and laidedback and not like many other upscale breweries in the area. read more

Love this place! Good beer, great staff! Interesting beer names. Fun Beaver merchandise. Ordered a "Beaver Teaser" flight. My favorite beer was the wheat. read more

Sooo glad I decided to stop here instead of another bigger brewery not to far from here. Support your small brewery, just wish I was able to get this in cans or bottles to take back toThis was a fun place and the beers are awesome!!! read more

Good beer but the damn TV is so damn loud you can't hear your friends sitting at the same table! One beer and out for me.

The staff is very friendly, the owner often works behind the counter, and the beer is great! They have a wide variety of beer to choose from and now that they have expanded into the space next door there is plenty of seating, that is until word gets out and they need to expand again. read more
