While on my last trip back to Colorado I had a few stops to make at breweries in Loveland as several have popped up since I paid the town a visit last. 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. read more

Crooked Beech Brewing - Gratitude, an American Light Lager by Crooked Beech Brewing! - Beer Bar Near Me - Loveland, Colorado

Great large open space brewery that is dog friendly! They had 11 beers, and some seltzers on tap. Not a big seltzer fan but the Bar staff encouraged us to try them and I am glad we did! They were delish! The Pear guava is amazing. No food, but they had a food truck schedule. Bar staff was really friendly and engaging and they had a good variety of beers styles. All really good beers. Cheers! read more

It's important that you read this review all the way through because there were several factors that impact this review, and made me give it a higher score I came here with a parent group because it was a new brewery. We had been told had a nice outdoor space for children and we wanted to try something new. It is very big on the inside and on the outside. it is extremely clean and best of all, it has a play area for children. I am not talking about a couple toys in a corner. I'm talking about an actual little jungle gym, a sandbox, a little kitchen thing, some trucks and dinosaurs and other little toys in the toy bin in addition to common bar games that were located inside the building, such as board games, there are several corn hole boards and because of this, I would highly recommend this place to people that have children. I'm not sure how the space is going to work in the winter time but if they provide canopy and some of those heat lamps, it should be fine. The bathrooms are extremely clean to the point where I would feel comfortable going to the bathroom with my son standing in the stall with me and accidentally touching the floor...that's how clean they were. They have a very clean changing table and a very big stall it, and for the ladies, they provide feminine products if needed. I will also note that the service was wonderful. They were very helpful, very polite. As for the things that I think they could improve on, it would be around the drinks themselves. While they did have a decent selection of different types of beers, you could tell that they are new, and may possibly need to mature a little bit. There were a couple lagers, a Hefeweizen, a couple sours, I think a couple IPAs, including a hazy. They also had some mixed drinks such as a Radler, which is a lager with a lemonade. Regretfully, they did not have any gluten-free options such as a seltzer or some wine. I think that if they provided these type of options, it would entice some additional customers that are not strictly beer drinkers. I did sample their sours, and I was not overly impressed. I am a sour person and I love them, but I think they would benefit from trying some more fruity sours and experimenting with those flavors. They had a killer sour, but I can't remember the name of and it was so unbelievably tart that it was not for me neither was the other sour. My partner ended up having one or two of their IPAs and he said they weren't bad. Despite the drinks not being our favorite, the atmosphere that was provided, and the openness in which they made us feel with our children accompanying us would make me come back and it's because of that that I rated this a four out of five. I think if you take this review as constructive criticism and not as a negative assessment on the establishment as a whole, I think that they can do very well especially in this location which is more family based. read more

The beer is fine, but they charge $8 for a pint and I doubt they give you more than 12 to 13 ounces instead of the 16 you expect.

New brewery in Loveland. Was excited to go check them out. It's a large open area and they have a fun table game at most tables to enjoy while drinking your beee. There are several beers to choose from and they staff are great about exposing each one and helping to chose what you'd like best. There is a sour as well. It open, airy and very comfortable. They have a calendar of events taking place at the brewery and they bring in different food trucks on different days of the week to offer food. It's a nice place for a large group of just a beer date. There is also an outdoor area with a play structure for younger kids if you happen to be there with your family. Fun place ! We really enjoyed our time here. read more

Great area outside to lounge and huge are inside for events! Very friendly staff as well!

My favorite are the radler and porter. The cleanliness, dog friendly, Tuesday evening poker playing public and the fact they carry Canine Candy Biscuits (made local and from local spent grains) are just some of the reasons we come. Jake, the Owner, is such a hospitable guy and truly makes this place homey. Check it out. Great patio and very spacious for parties. read more

We stopped here on Labor Day Monday. It's a really great space, very kid and dog friendly. As previously stated in another review, they actually do have gluten-free beer in cans, which is great for people with celiac like myself. No cross contamination. The brewed beer here is very refreshing and enjoyable. The staff is very helpful and friendly. read more
