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.

Unfortunately, this visit was completely different. The service was extremely disappointing from start to finish. We waited about 20 minutes just for drinks and eventually had to go up to the bar ourselves. When we asked about it, the bartender simply said, "I'm working on it," which was frustrating given how long we had already been waiting. There were 4 tales in the restaurant and like 8 employees Things did not improve from there. Our food came out very slowly and one of the meals had to be sent back. We ended up having to go to the bar multiple times, including for a to go box and even to get our check, because no one was checking on our table. To make matters worse, the menu states that guests are asked to limit their visit to 90 minutes. However, due to the slow and inattentive service, we were there for nearly two hours through no fault of our own. There also used to be a sense of customer service here, which seems to have changed. To top it off, gratuity was automatically added without it being mentioned or explained. That felt especially inappropriate considering we ended up doing a large portion of the service ourselves. It's like they figured they were getting auti gratuity so didn't provide any service Really disappointing experience overall. Not sure what changed, but this was a huge step down from our previous visit.

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.

Blown Tire - a very solid red/amber - no bitter finish, very smooth and easy to drink.

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.

Crooked Beech was one of those breweries that I hadn't tried yet. I had the Gratitude, an American Light Lager which was okay but not all that memorable unfortunately. Flavor highlights to look for with this beer are watery, hoppy, yeasty and juicy. But to be honest I mostly detected the watery aspect and the yeasty aspect and had a hard time picking up the other characteristics. The beer is also very light bodied so if you do enjoy this beer then it's not too much of a stretch to have another. Excuse on the blurry picture. I took the shot without double checking as there were a lot of breweries to try out this particular day I paid a visit to Crooked Beech.

I preferred the horchata, my husband preferred the Mai tai. Both were excellent, but I thought the Mai tai tasted more citrusy than like an actual Mai tai. The horchata tasted spot on though- I would get that all the time. Highly highly recommend and will absolutely be back to try more beers.
