It's hard to believe Cheluna is about to celebrate their 10th birthday next year! They are incredibly consistent at making great beer and creating a community oriented atmosphere. Cheluna Brewing is located inside of Aurora's crown jewel, Stanley Marketplace. They're situated indoors near the west entrance in between Stanley Beer Hall and Sweet Cow. Owned by a lovely husband and wife duo, this place has become a fixture of Stanley Marketplace over the years. One of the best parts is that you can take your beer outdoors or even roam around the rest of the market with it. In turn, I think this what the only "downside" of Cheluna is; the fact that I've never sat inside the tasting room for a beer. It always feel a bit transactional because we take our beers and run, if you will. My go to's are the kolsch, cold IPA (GABF silver), and Mexican lager. The latter they serve with a lime and it's delightful. I'm really glad Cheluna is still kicking after a damn near decade in operation. They're definitely one of the most consistent options in the entire market. Support family owned spots, especially breweries, they need us right now! read more

Love this place. Overall love the Stanley Market. Highly recommend coming here if you want a couple drinks with friends after work or before dinner. Came in and the fine lady over the counter was so nice and welcoming. Couldn't stay long cause they were closing but glad I came in and will come back soon to try all their beers. read more

Great beer and good service! They even offer non-alcoholic options, which is a nice touch. A great stop while shopping at the marketplace read more

A fun place with really cool interior and live music sometimes. The Brown and Down beer and Lupita IPA were both good. read more

I was a bit surprised to see that I never got around to writing a review for this establishment. It is a great feature to have at the Stanley marketplace. I also ran into the owner a few years back at a beer festival and he was a really nice guy. There's almost always a beer that I will enjoy here quite a bit and they also make some interesting things as well. Along with that, they have the types of beers that most people expect to be available, such as IPAs. read more

Great beer. On of the least expensive flights I've had in CO (been to 26 breweries). Friendly, efficient staff. Pizza looks good, I didn't get one. Inside the Stanley building. Free parking. read more

I've done previous reviews on this lovely spot, but wanted to add a review specifically for their private event space. We've rented their mezzanine several times in the last five years for private events, and the staff and owners are SO great to work with. Our most recent event was a family party with 100+ people coming and going. They added cocktail tables out on the balcony and lots of chairs and tables to accommodate our large group. We also had tables set up for the food that we brought in (a big DIY charcuterie/grazing table). It was the perfect space for our gathering and everyone commented on what a festive place it was. read more

Have been a couple of times before this review and still have to say, Cheluna is a great place to get some home brewed beers. While I am not a beer drinker by any means, I did give the Cabo Coconut Lime Sour a try. At Cheluna, they cater to many different tastes and offer hard seltzers as well as sangria and margaritas in addition to a wide array of beers. The Cabo Coconut Lime Sour was a collab with another brewing company. This was a good selection for me as a novice brewery goer. Cheluna is located in the center of Stanley Marketplace and is hard to miss. Cheluna does not have any food, save a few snacks, but you are welcome and encouraged to bring in food from one of the many vendors in Stanley Marketplace or from wherever really. Cheluna also has live music on most Friday evenings. It is a happening place. The employees are very kind and do a great job at recommendations for the newbies. Will go again and again I am sure of it! read more

My bf and I have always liked going to different breweries to try the different beers. Recently having moved to Colorado, we had to find a new go to spot for our local Friday night unwinding place. We found Cheluna brewing when we came to pick up dinner at the Stanley marketplace. The only thing I can say is wow. Their beer selection is fantastic. Whether you want pale ales, IPAs or something lighter, they have it. My fave is the Chula Kolsch because it is delicious. We recently encountered the owners, Jennifer & Javi, and they were amazing. They talked with us for some time and they were awesome to chat with. Their stories were phenomenal and the atmosphere is just beautiful and inviting. We will continue coming back every Friday night as our new tradition here in Colorado. read more

Solid selection, great quality great way to spend a weekend . Cheluna really know their brew strengths

This is a great brewery to check out if you like beers with more fruity hints. I absolutely loved their coconut bomb beer. I also got their sangria hard seltzer. That one I was expecting more from. It just was not as tasty as I had expected. I also tried their blonde ale. This was good! The staff were attentive and quickly helped us. Great atmosphere while we were there. They had a drummer and a saxophone player jamming out! It has two floors so plenty of seating for anyone coming in. Tip: You can also get their beers to go and walk around the rest of the market! Definitely worth checking out if you are in the Stanley Market! read more

Been to Stanley Market tons of times over the years but had not tried Cheluna until recently and ended coming back a week later. I thought it was hard to compete with the Stanley Beer Hall located immediately next to them but I found their beer and seltzer top notch and more importantly, cheaper than their next neighbors beers. Good mix of Year-Round and Season choices. My favorite was the Orizaba IPA that received recognition from Great American Beer Festival. They had sports on a couple tvs and when we came back on a Saturday night, they had a live band. They allow you to bring your own food into the place and with so many choices in Stanley, this is a great place for a meal and beer. read more

Cheluna Brewing Company probably had one Mexican Lager that was probably my favorite on a recent trip to Colorado. After a string of breweries and a string of Mexican Lagers at some of them the one I had here at Cheluna was the most memorable. The Lowrider Mexican Lager is what I had and I could have easily have had more than one it was so good. I also really liked the atmosphere and the shopping center it was in. The whole experience was just great! Flavor highlights with the beer that I had a clean, crisp flavor with a touch of breadiness. It was subtle and smooth as well. Sometimes having a "subtle" feature can make other ingredients too watered down and not well balanced but that was absolutely not the case here at all. I'd love to return when time allows to get that Lager again at least but also explore the untried beer options. read more

First let me start by saying I love to travel and find breweries that I'm in love with and Cheluna is one of them. I didn't even realize they were inside the Stanley Marketplace but I'm glad I found them. My boyfriend and I waited for them to open since we did get there early. We were the first ones inside so we sat at the bar and got a flight. Most people have a beer style they gravitate too, mine being blondes, sours, hefes, and saisons. There wasn't one beer here I didn't love. ANY STYLE. The flight came with 6 beers. I got the Coco-Xoco, salted caramel Vienna lager, chupa guava, chilango, pink flamingose, and snowbird Hefeweizen. All of them had punchy flavors, smooth body style, and really just hit the nail on the head with what I want from my beers. They were so enjoyable to drink. The interior was cute, I loved the bright colors and murals. Cheluna was a joy to experience. Their merchandise was great as well. The bartender was friendly, he recommended we mix the chocolate stout with the salted caramel Vienna lager and that was incredible! You can't go wrong coming here! read more

Visited this past weekend after a week long road trip in the mountains. We hadn't been in the city and the Stanley was recommended. We figured a beer sounded great and walked into this place. We were immediately greeted with a warm smile from Ervin (hope the spelling is right). He was so friendly and welcome and came right over as we took seats at the bar. The vibrant colors were nice and a wonderful selection of beers. I opted for the michelada and my husband chose their award winning Luna Nueva Lager. He loved the Luna Nueva but man oh man - the michelada was the real winner. In Texas, we have great micheladas but the michelada here was INCREDIBLE! BETTER THAN ANY MICHELADA I'VE EVER HAD! We were a little sad they didn't have chapulines to try but gives us a reason to return one day. This was a wonderful treat for us - hit all 3 marks - great service, great setting, great beer! Check this place out next time you're at the Stanley. read more

Love their beers here - my favorite is the Chamango with Tajin on the rim of the glass. Learned today that you can bring in food from any of the vendors so that was awesome - my husband and I got to get whatever food we each wanted and then enjoy it with our beers together. Service is good, you just order at the bar. Ambiance is fun, they had different games on the TVs so we enjoyed that. read more

Cheluna is a great place to grab a beer and listen to live music. I always enjoy their Coco-Xoco Porter, a sweet medium porter. Go to the bar to order your drinks. Outside beverages aren't allowed, but food from other businesses is. I appreciated the proactiveness of the bartender.When he saw another customer aggressively trying to interact with me and my friend at our table, the bartender came over immediately, checked on us, and called security to have him and his friend escorted out. Thanks, Cheluna, for taking care of your customers in more ways than providing us with your delicious chelas. read more

Great atmosphere and great beer at Stanley marketplace. A great place to meet up with friends and self order at the bar and seat yourself to chat. No food served here. I appreciate not only their wide range of flavors, including fruitier beers which is my preference, but also their wide range of sizes. You can go mega or you can go tiny. read more

Genuine friendly service. They're known for GABF award-winning beers. Personally, the mangonada was superb- sweet, but with a punch that sneaks up on you. A+ all the way. Plenty of room that it doesn't feel cramped though it looks small at first. It would be cool if they had some appetizers on the menu because the brewery outside looks that much more appealing, still I'd come back. read more

Never been a fan of slushy alcoholic drinks that aren't a frozen margarita because of the weird slushy texture that's often with seltzer and cider but the slushy seltzer here was amazing! We tried the mango and lemonade ones and they were so so good. The mango had a stronger flavor than lemonade but we still enjoyed both. I love this brewery in Stanley marketplace so much and we will be back. Service was quick and I love the decor. read more

Such a cool brewery! By far the best beer in CO! The vibe is great and the location is convenient.

Fun Fact: "Inspired by the culture and flavors of Oaxaca, Mexico, Cheluna is the first Latin-owned Mexican craft brewery in Colorado!" (cheluna.com) Located in the Stanley Marketplace, Cheluna remains one of my favorite spots to grab a beer. I love the various flavor profiles and the cutting-edge combinations they come up with. I really enjoyed the Salted Caramel Vienna Lager. With a sweet and savory twist, an easy 5.2% ABV, and a gentle 15 IBU, this beer drinks right in the middle of the light to dark continuum. The vibrant space and welcoming staff completes the great experience at this micro brewery. read more

"Inspired by the culture and flavors of Oaxaca, Mexico, Cheluna is the first Latin-owned Mexican craft brewery in Colorado and a lively community gathering place located in the Stanley Marketplace." All beers except for 3 are gluten reduced! (Check out their menu for more details). A friend and I sat up at the bar on a Saturday night and we're served almost immediately. The bartenders were all very nice and very attentive. They had a live band at the time, even though we sat right next to the band my amiga and I were still able to hear one another so that was great! You're able to bring your food from other vendors inside Cheluna and they have additional seating on the West side of Stanley Market if you'd like to take your drink out to the patio. I always enjoy my time at Cheluna, and as a Oaxacan, I'm always on the hunt for Oaxacan inspired venues. Check out their website for events! read more

This was our second time here and just like the first time, it was awesome!! There was a live band and a party upstairs but even with a packed house, staff was super attentive and friendly. This place is located inside the Stanley market place so there are a ton of restaurants you can order food from. Totally recommend!! 10/10 read more

First off, I love to see Latinx owned breweries prosper. It gives me a warm feeling to see my people succeed. The brewery is beautiful, the decor is great and the vibe is great. I got a flight of beers. Half were great and the other half not so much. The Coco-Xoco was hands down one of the worst beers I've ever had, but that's mostly my fault since I hate pastry stouts and the lager wasn't good either. But the Chupa Guava and Chilango saved the night, both excellent beers. I wish nothing but the best for this brewery. read more

I have been going to Cheluna Brewing Co for a couple months now. The frozen fruit seltzer was so good and refreshing in the heat. I am not much of a beer person, but I was a waitress for many years and love this business. It's a very vibrant, energetic venue with seating both up and downstairs and while they don't serve food they allow it to be brought in. There is a large variety of restaurants around them as they are set in Stanley Marketplace. The place is busy but the drinks are served very quickly. So I don't drink beer but I did try the coco - choc Porter which was very smooth . Also I do have issues walking up and down the stairs and the owner- Jennifer was very accommodating. Thank you Jennifer and staff you are what true service looks like. read more

This place was super cute. First time here and their mangonada was delicious. I forgot what beer I picked but it was a local one and it satisfied my craving for a mangonada for sure! I was hungry and was able to order food across the way and had it delivered to my table here! CLUTCH Awesome place to watch a game at for sure! Go Lightning lol. For those beer lovers, this place is a must. read more

Thank you to the friend that recommended this place because I fell in love instantly. The flavors are just great! Not a beer snob but my hubby is and if he approves then it has to be good :) . Salted caramel and coco xoco my favorite.their service is great too. We arrived at a time when they were not very busy so it was super quick. They are part of a marketplace so there's all sorts of little local places both food and drinks and other type of stores (even a gym) located around the brewery. Right across the Maria Empanada place. So come down, get a beer, grab some food and walk around see what you can find. There's a small farmers market here on Friday from what I gathered so really neat place :) Hopefully they will bring one closed to my side of town cause I had to travel all the way to Stapleton for this deliciousness. read more

I went to the Stanley Marketplace for a business meeting. Afterwards we headed to Cheluna for a drink. I ordered a beer called the Lowrider II, it was a good and tasty amber colored Mexican lager but service was slow and mediocre, it looked like they only had one bartender that was running the whole place. Nice interior and ambiance that paired well with the atmosphere that the Stanley provides. read more

I got a lime alcoholic seltzer and my husband got the Mexican lager. Both were refreshing and delicious! The seltzer was something like 6% ABV which was surprising because it tasted very lightweight. It wasn't very sweet, but I think they had another flavor that was described as sweeter if that's your preference. It's located in the Stanley Marketplace so it was cool to drop in, get a drink, then keep walking and exploring the Stanley Marketplace. read more

I wish I had photos from here but I just don't haha. I really enjoy going to Stanley for Cheluna specifically! This Brewery is unique being in a good hall, but also providing so many different kinds of activities for members of different communities to engage in. I feel comfortable here and appreciate the all around kind staff. I'm sad that I don't live in the area anymore, but will definitely take the time to visit when I can! Follow their IG to keep up with what events they've got going on. :) Oh, and after you get a little beer drunk, there's plenty of options to choose from and eat, which is always a plus. read more

Laid back brewery located in the Stanley marketplace. I thoroughly enjoyed the live music which wasn't too loud and overbearing. There are a lot of choices to choose from and you can take your beer to go and keep on shopping. Will definitely come back and shop and drink again! read more
