    IPA & Salud .... yum!
    Candi R.

    Stopped into City for a beer after some yard work. Was pleasantly surprised to happen upon their anniversary celebration. We each ordered a beer an IPA and a very yummy Salud..... hint of watermelon, salt and lime. Was delicious! There are several areas to the brewery.... the outdoor seating is our favorite. They had a band playing and frequently have live music either inside or outside. There were 2 food trucks for the " party " but they usually always have 1 food truck to purchases food from. They keep a choice of Main Stay beers( always available) as well as a rotation of seasonal and changing beers. Fun place to hang out and relax, enjoy music and get a tasty bit of food from different food trucks. We always enjoy the beer and friendly, helpful staff.

    Cool bar area

    Great beer and great service! We parked nearby and found a seat easily on a Saturday afternoon. I tried the All American IPA and the freshly tapped Dead or Alive imperial IPA. Both were great. My wife had the Cherry Scoundrel sour and really enjoyed it as well. This brewery has a nice local neighborhood feel and that is very appealing for me. The beertenders were super friendly and helpful, especially Andrea! The Strawberry Blonde beer was very tasty and made wonder how to make it. I would love to come back next time I'm in the area.

    We got the Outlaw to go a couple of times. It is an incredible beer. We can't wait to try the new Outlaw release. Great space at brewery as well.

    Bandit Brown... tasty

    This brewery is great. We've been here many times. The beer is solid if you are a beer snob. The waiters take good care of you and don't let you run out. They also have that Taco Man food truck that is pretty bomb. You won't be disappointed.

    It goes without saying that we have one of the most enviable beer cultures in America right in our back yard here in Colorado. Now, in virtually every city and town you can find a brewery that contributes to that rich diversity. While Berthoud may not enjoy the myriad of commercial options found in nearby Boulder, Denver or Ft. Collins, they finally have a place that the locals can rally behind and call an esteem-able member of their tight-knit community. I walked in on a warm Saturday afternoon during Memorial Day Weekend. They had the doors wide open and interestingly enough the place was literally empty of the crowd I saw on the highway. My wife and I survey the place briefly and found ourselves alone at the bar with the Assistant Head Brewer, Ryan. Being an avid home-brewer of approximately 5 years, I was eager to share in the experience with the one that helped brew their lively libations! I sampled several beers and all of them get a well-earned BJCP nod to quality and consistency to their respective styles. My favorite was their Imperial IPA, Dead or Alive. I am generally partial to big beers that have huge flavor and aroma. Subtlety is nice for session beers, but there's something to appreciate in the big beers, especially Imperial IPAs. It's like the brewer saying, "Consequences and efficiency be damned! I'm going to brew something amazing!" They may not get the best ROI or profitability on those beers but as a customer I say, "Thank you very much!" Initially, I was going to rate this a 4 star brewery, but as I recollect on my experience and my long conversations with Ryan at the bar and as we toured their internal brew space, I remember that this guy gives this place that last star. He went above and beyond and made my experience truly remarkable. Every-time I come down to the area, I will make it a point to stop in and see what new brews Ryan has made. I would highly recommend to anyone! Cheers!

    Without free Pretzels, and small outdoor seating, and tapped out of the "Night Watchman," American Stout winning a Gold Medal in 2014 US Open Beer Championship, I may have only only mustered 4 stars. Yes, I'm a big whiny baby. However, if you find yourself in Berthoud, you may as well try BOTH breweries, and this one is easier to find and appears to have been placed in more contests. I settled for a flight and found GREAT satisfaction in "Bandit Brown" 5.5% ABV | 17 IBU English Brown Ale. Malt forward with caramel, nut and toffee flavors. 2013 Great American Beer Festival® - Gold, 2013 US Open Beer Championship - Gold, 2013 Colorado State Fair - Gold, 2013 Denver International Beer Championship - Gold.

    Beer flight. Always a good choice.

    Place is split into 3 distinct areas. Kinda feels like 3 different places. Super friendly staff and an okay selection of beer.

    Bandit Brown is an easy drinker (a little sweet for my taste but my husband loves it), 6 Shooter is a good "light" IPA.

    Stayed at Loveland's Best Western Plus for a week and ordered take out twice from Monroe's. First…read moreorder was really good, had the French Dip. Second time we splurged & ordered 2 of the Colorado Ribeyes. When you order a steak medium rare and you get it well done AND pay $29 it doesn't promote a lot of confidence in the kitchen staff! Had ordered the artichoke spinach dip that came with rock hard pita chips that could break concrete! No problem, we'll eat the celery & carrots that also came with it. NEGATIVE! Carrots were so dried out they were cracking, and the celery was rotted! So much for the appetizer! They offered to remake the steaks, comped the appetizer & offered us free dessert. Round 2...steaks were AGAIN cooked well done! This was a re-do so one would think extra effort would have been made...NOT! It was Saturday evening and by the time we had sat down to eat again it was 9:00. Called them back but they were already closed. Okay...so we'll take them back Sunday...NO CAN DO, closed on Sunday! Doesn't open until 4pm Monday. Husband takes them back for a REFUND this time only to be told "they've done all they can do" REALLY? I don't think you even came close! If you're going to charge people $29 for a steak THEN hire kitchen staff that knows how to cook them as the paying customer requests! There's a HUGE difference between MR & WD and if you can't cook it accordingly then you should not have steak on your menu!! Since you find yourself in the position of "doing all you can do" then you leave me no choice to "do all I can do" and that will be to dispute the charge with my financial institution! For a business that operates in the food industry, hospitality & customer service Monroe's needs a refresher course ASAP! Staff was pleasant but whoever made the decision to not do the right thing and refund the steaks that weren't edible after the second time & the steaks were brought back to you uneaten, then I'll do the honors of exercising my opinion on every social media platform I can. Would NOT recommend this restaurant! If you want a great steak, frequent a good steakhouse!

    The Clear Lighthouse Mental Health Mural Project and Fundraiser drew us down to the Backyard Tap,…read moreand WHO KNEW THAT THIS COOL LITTLE PLACE was right in the middle of downtown Loveland!?! Don't judge this book by its cover. You'll understand the name once you arrive. This unassuming building just west of Loveland's downtown area hides a treasure trove of food, fun, and drinks for all ages .... you guessed it ... in the backyard! We happened to visit while the Smokin' Classic BBQ food trailer was anchored in the backyard and offered a smokey enticement for those that didn't even know they were hungry. Kids were everywhere but underfoot as they took advantage of the ping pong, cornhole, and monkey ball court. There's even a massive Jenga game on site for those who think Jenga needs to be HUGE to be fun. I had the Chin Curtain IPA, but there's a wide variety of choice at the bar. We think of adult hang-outs when we hear about these little tap houses, but this is a landing spot for the whole family. Come here.

I went on a weeknight so it was honestly pretty dead which I preferred for a conversation with friends. I'm sure if you're in Loveland it would make for a fun night out for whatever you may want dependent upon the night -- a fun chat, a place apparently to bring a pet, or if you just want to get completely drunk out of your mind outdoors on a Saturday evening.
