My friend and I parked in the REI lot after letting our dogs run around at the dog park. Now it was our turn to have fun. We headed to "DBC" for food and some beers. It was either this or Brider, but I'd already been there before. Turns out DBC just has beer with a food truck out front. Perfect! Because DBC doesn't serve food, we were able to bring the dogs inside. Unfortunately my friend forgot her ID and I already got my beer, so we didn't hang out for as long... Just until we were done with lunch. We're already planning on coming here again. Our dogs had a great time and received many treats and pets. My favorite kind of people are those that love animals. When the weather is nicer, we'll sit outside. Lovely patio with a view of the neighborhood. Lots of places to stop by with the dogs afterwards. Overall if you're living in Denver or simply visiting, it's necessary to have a few beers at DBC. You can even buy cans or growlers to take home. Seems like they have some fun special events. I love checking out their website. Can't wait for an upcoming adventure! read more

Technically seated in Cervcería Colorado, but getting beer from Denver Beer next door. Very tasty barrel aged sour. Denver Beer is a fun place to visit if you are in the area. Lots of dogs, fun beers, and a cool area to wander around. Parking is a bit iffy but there are some parking garages. Definitely a great end of the summer sitting outside hang out read more

I was in Denver a couple months ago for the GABF, and while there, made a point to also visit as many local breweries as I could stuff into the weekend. I actually popped in here the afternoon before my GABF timeslot, which, pro tip: probably don't do that. GABF was a hundred bucks, and my palate was shot halfway in, probably cause I'd already started tasting earlier in the day. But I digress. Anyway, this was certainly one of the nicer *places* to taste beer - I love breweries like this one, that have an indoor space, but with so many large doors that it still feels like you're part of the outside world. They've got both tons of tables and tons of bar seats, as well as more seats outside on the patio, so they're well positioned for the crowds. Everyone there was super friendly, happy to answer questions, and beer appeared almost instantly after ordering. Prices were totally reasonable - $2-3 for tasters, $6-7 full pours (except the one bourbon-barrel-aged beer they had at the time was $8 for a full pour). And they've got a pretty wide range of beer, from the fairly normal, to the wacky stuff I tend to look for. I did try one of their flagships - I'd been seeing the graham cracker porter and the Princess Yum Yum (raspberry kolsch) at bars and restaurants all over Denver all weekend, but it's more fun tasting from the source, anyway. I tried the raspberry kolsch, and it was a bit lighter than I would have liked, but still delicious (very fruity). Of course, I had to try the limited edition imperial bba version of their porter, which is kinda dangerous - not as bourbon-barrely as I normally like, but was still delicious, with tons of coconut, roasty, super balanced, and didn't taste at *all* like it was almost 10% ABV. Finally, of course I had to try the one super-weird one, a carrot cake blonde, which literally tasted like carrot cake! (It was delicious, if you like that sort of thing.) Though I'm sure that one's long gone, but I'm sure they have other interesting things to replace it, anyway. I wasn't in the market for food when I was here, sadly, cause they also have giant, fresh-baked, delicious-looking soft pretzels for $5, but I didn't try one. Next time! p.s. They have a second, Mexican-inspired and more out-there brewery literally right next door, that you shouldn't miss while you're here, called Cerveceria Colorado. read more

Wow this place blew me away. Between the beers at Denver Beer Co and Cerveceria (the sister spot next door), I am highly impressed. I knew Denver had a big craft beer scene, wow I didn't know what to expect. We came on a Saturday night and had to wait 45 min for a table. We ordered tasters of: 1) birthday cake blonde - blonde ale where I could imagine tasting the sprinkles from the cake!) 2) white chocolate graham cracker blonde - blonde ale that had hints of marshmallow flavor 3) peanut butter graham cracker porter - fantastic peanut butter flavor. It's not porter season just yet, but I loved this one! 4) queen yum yum raspberry kolsch - delicious, light fruity beer perfect for summer! 5) brandy bock - I didn't love this doppelbock at 11.7% ABV. It was way too strong (as I should have expected) and couldn't finish. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. They've got some fantastic brews under the belt and I wish I live nearby to try more! read more

Great vibes, great people, great beer! Such a fun place to go and hang with friends. Bunch of board games there for you as well. Not to mention the beer is good! read more

Denver Beer Co. Platte Street - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My first impression of this place wasn't the best - it was so crowded on a Saturday afternoon, so I just left. Came back on a Tuesday night, though, and it was much more chill. It was the perfect experience for a transplant and her visiting friend! There's even a "Greetings from Denver" mural right outside for you to take pictures with and round out the local Denver experience. I can see why this place is so popular because the beer is top notch. I've had the Princess Yum Yum at other Denver institutions, including the 1Up in LoDo. They have a really good sour beer, too. I'll be back to try all the other ones eventually. When it isn't too crowded, you can check out the board games toward the back corner of the bar area. There's also usually a food truck right outside if you get the munchies. Or, you can order a pretzel from the bar. I wish I had appreciated this place a lot sooner, but I really was turned off by the crowds. For so much available seating, including outdoor seating, there still doesn't seem to be enough. I really would have liked to bring all my friends who visited! read more

5 star location (both inside accommodations/seating and convenient spot in Denver). Denver Beer Co. has one of the best taprooms in Denver! On beautiful days they open the doors to combine the indoor and outdoor seating. Even on hot days, the brewery has misters to spray water down on the patio to keep you cool! If I could give 4.5 stars, I would--the only thing holding this brewery back from my standpoint is the beer. It's good, just not my favorite beer. Fortunately, they have a good variety of beer on tap to cater to anyone's preferences which make this an awesome gathering place. Cheers! read more

Great atmosphere. Good space. Good size patio. Friendly bartenders. They have a few beers on tap that they don't Can. Tried the red pale ale and scotch ale. Good flavor. Don't understand why they open the garage doors when it's 35 degrees out. Not a fan of that. read more

Denver Beer Company was by far one of my top few choices for breweries in Denver. I love the feel of the blossoming neighborhood, and the atmosphere was very welcoming, open, and casual. They have several choices for all different pallets. The Incredible Pedal is a refreshing IPA with a floral aroma and a refreshing taste on the back end. The Graham Cracker Porter was a nice way to round out the trip. I'm not a big porter girl, but this was a sweet slow sipper. While you're there, walk around the neighborhood and listen to some local shops. The vibe here is what i expected it to be in Denver, and the Denver Beer Company did not disappoint. Cheers! read more

First off, I loved this place until today. My friend ordered a beer and brought it to the table. This table had holes like a tire rim. He had one sip of his beer and then it slid into the ridge in the table and shattered as he tried to save it from falling. The beer glass sliced his hand so deep he needed stitches. The male bartenders proceeded to give him a dirty rag and cut him off saying it was "their decision". Mind you this was the first beer of the night. All they could do was CUT HIM OFF AND GIVE HIM A DIRTY RAG. Don't go here unless you want to cut your thumb off and get cut off in the process. SO disappointing. read more

Everything about this place is on point! I cannot wait to come back! We came in for a Valentine's Day flight and truffle pairing, such a good choice! Got to try a variety of beers and found one I love! Also important, I was really feeling the jams! We sat out in the patio until it was late and cold and the inside cleared out! Such a fun place to hang out and strike up a convo with some strangers too! Also loved seeing all the dogs! read more

You can't beat the location and the name. As an early brewery and one of the only in north Denver for a few years, DBC was an awesome spot with a nice patio and convenient for those on this side of town. The run club was a nice way to meet people and exercise too. As the brewery grew in popularity the beer quality did not. Nor did the service. As an early supporter we loved coming in and hanging out, playing games, and tasting something new. Lately, and believe me, I still come back and try and give the benefit of the doubt, the service and beer is not worth the convenience or comfortable patio. Many bar staff seem like they have four other jobs at any time, one is not serving those of us standing and waiting. And my latest attempt was their Belgian white which was sincerely the most disappointing attempt at the style, I would've taken a Blue Moon over their craft beer in any circumstance. If you haven't been before, check it out. If you only slightly enjoy beer but location and an energetic ambiance are more important then you'll have a nice time here. But if you're looking for solid craft beer there are other spots nearby that will be better choices for you. read more

Denver Beer Co. Platte Street - The red beer attempt during Independence Day celebrations - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Avoid this place like the plague, they are prejudiced and ableist. I have a friend who has had a stroke and talks slowly and wobbles as he walks and the bartending staff (mostly a woman with very thin hair in a ponytail who conveniently refused to say her name when asked) automatically assumed he was drunk and refused to serve him. At this point in the night, he was about 3-4 beers in and not drunk. When we approached her and explained why he spoke and walked the way he did, all she said was "well how would I know that?" and refused to admit any wrongdoing on her part, she was callous, unresponsive and insensitive. There were other people in the bar at the time that were yelling and spilling drinks, nothing happed or was said to them. This was clearly a case of prejudice and i once again advise people to avoid this place like the plague. read more

Stopped in for one last indulgence before flying back home. The area was super cool. Sort of art, urban and new style unite. The brewery is clean, service was great and the beer was oh so tasty. I had the Maui Express and hubs had the Nolan's Gold (Juicy IPA). Both were perfect breakfast beers. Outside seating area was just perfect to enjoy great tasting beers. Will come here again next time we are in town My experience gets a 5 star rating, cause I couldn't find anything I'd change from this visit. read more

Great spot for kids, lots of room and unlimited play. But come on, we really gonna call this "Ranch"? I mean, Would you like a little mayo with your dill? This is Dill dressing, and the name should reflect it. Ranch has connotations of southern heavenly creamy buttermilk with flavors that perfectly pop out of your mouth with every dip, this is nothing of the sort. Other than that, place rocks. So with that said, first priority is to straighten out the ranch scene, and next should be looking into hot sauce. Like I said, great spot. Enjoy! read more

The Berry Proud was my favorite. Quick and friendly bartender. Loved all the doggos that were there too.

Wanted to experience Cerveceria but felt like it was a front to get more people into Denver Brewing Co. Customers can't sit or order anything inside Cerveceria and instead the Denver Brewing Co is the main building. You are able to order Cerveceria beer but not within their building. We understand that they are sister companies but we appreciated the messages that Cerveceria seemed to project via their art/atmosphere. Very disappointed and left feeling deceived. read more

Super cool spot and great brews. Nice outdoor seating with chill vibes and a cool atmosphere. Dog friendly. Staff was friendly and helpful while we were here. Brews were tasty! And that sun shining outside on the patio felt great! We didn't take advantage of it, but they also have a food truck right out front of the brewery that you can order from. Would definitely recommend this spot! read more

Today it was my 4th time at this brewery but it was my 1st time with my 4 month old golden retriever puppy. I was with a friend that had a goldendoodle and they were playing under our table and like I mentioned, my puppy is only 4 months old and started barking to get my friend's dog attention to play with him. This man approached us and said "can you make your dog shut up he's annoying". At first my friend was in complete shock and had no reaction to him. 30 minutes later I hear him yelling across the bar again to tell my dog to shut up. I started yelling back to defend myself, because the staff made no attempt to control the outbursts. Later my boyfriend arrives to go talk to him and was kicked out because he confronted the man. Denver Beer Co. made no attempt to control the situation, help me avoid being harassed, and then kicked out the one person that did. read more

Looking for a dog friendly brewery to hit up while walking between Denver's LoHi and LoDo neighborhoods? Look no further! Denver Beer Co is situated in the heart of the Commons Park neighborhood and is always packed with puppies and dogs along with friendly owners. The Juicy Freak IPA is my favorite and the Princess Yum-Yum kolsch mixes well with any beer on the list. For example: (Princess Yum-Yum) + (Juicy Freak) = Freaky Princess Also, once done there are some good reataurants for lunch/dinner as well as Commons Park which runs along the Platte River and near the Cherry Creek Confluence. read more

Had a great time at Denver Beer Co today! They have such a cute and picture-worthy exterior (esp. great for when you have visitors from out of town). We were sitting outside but moved to the space next door because it was really cold. Loved being moved because the next door space was quiet, well-lit, and colorfully decorated! I ordered the princess yum yum raspberry kolsch which I thoroughly enjoyed! Had a kind and smiling server, and purchased some glasses for my friends as souvenirs. read more

Love that this place doesn't have any televisions! I mean who would want to go to a bar and see a football game on or something? Place is nice and spaced out so much so that no one can even smell your farts. Tip: order yourself a flight and have your date take a hot insta pic of you and the flight. 5 stars read more

Easily my favorite brewery in Denver. All of the employees are wonderful and a ton of fun to talk to (ask for Jason, he's the man!). Crowd atmosphere, vibe and music are great as well. The beer is fantastic and they really unique flavors compared to most breweries. They also have a "secret menu" of items that either mix beers together or add unexpected mixers. Definitely check this place out if you're in town! read more

This place was dope! They have so much seating and a huge beer selection. They have a huge bar and then all of these tables both inside and outside. It reminded me a lot of the smaller pubs we have here in Tucson but with this amazing sprawling space to sit and visit with friends. We purchased some merch here too and Scott was so kind and helpful :) I had a sour and an IPA, both of which were delicious. We sat outside and played catchphrase and just laughed. This was one of the better times we had out in Denver. The surrounding area is nice to stroll and walk around, too. I'd def recommend coming here! read more

Stopped by here whilst walking downtown and it was a nice surprise! Definitely want to come back. They happened to be having a cookie and beer tasting which we decided to try (see picture) and it was a good experience. All were really good except the peanut butter beer. I don't like peanut butter in general, but I gave it a try because, why not, ya know? It's probably my biggest regret the whole weekend. From the smell and taste, I kind of want to fake a peanut allergy. That's why it's a tasting, though. Despite this, the atmosphere of this place is welcoming and they have games and a big outdoor patio. It was nice seeing the dogs and I'll definitely bring my fluff next time. read more

Atmosphere is great. The music was on point. We were visiting Denver from Texas and stopped in and had a pleasant evening. The staff is cordial. My friend even broke her beer glass and the employee cleaned it and replaced her beer which we appreciated. We had 3 different beers and they were all tastey and unique, which is hard given how many breweries exist in Denver. The dog friendly aspect was cute too. read more

Lots of good beer choices. Really good vibes at the place though honestly the bartenders could have been more attentive. They had some really cool things!

They also had a step door thing so that you didn't have to touch the doorknob to leave the bathroom. read more

I like beer and proclaim it with snobbish, spoiled, elitist beer-drinking pride. Coloradans are lucky to have so many delicious libations to choose from beyond the filthy "standards" of Coors Light and Budweiser. Enter a new, local brewery, who took a Bronze Medal at the Great American Beer Festival with its Graham Cracker Porter just 8 weeks after opening its doors. The Denver Beer Co! The place has the perfect name. The location, up the street from Proto's Pizza and Paris on the Platte, is perfect for the Platte River Valley and Highland neighborhoods. It's just a short walk from LoDo. I have nothing negative to say about this establishment, save they could use some delicious brewery edibles made available for the patrons who are there enjoying the beer. But there are often food trucks nearby and they serve Bavarian-style pretzels and dipping sauces. I would like to see more. The business is spacious, being housed in an old auto-truck-van repair company building called Gear-Up Auto Inc. Parts of the bar are built around the hydraulic jacks. They also built other parts of the décor around pieces of old equipment. Plus there is a large patio to enjoy the wonderful Colorado weather. The seasonally changing selection of beer is what fancies me. I support local businesses. You should also. You'll be glad you did. read more

This place refused to serve one of our friends who came in with us. She served every one of us, but because he walks with a slight limp she automatically assumed he was too drunk, saying he was "swaying too much" and cut him off. She was rude and dismissive, leaving everyone feeling uncomfortable when trying to explain his situation. I'm upset she spoke with such conviction when none of us were doing anything warranted of such reaction. He took a sip of my beer after being refused his own, and she just kicked him out. I've never experienced such unfair service. read more

I love hanging out here. Good to come with friends or to be alone. The staff is nice as well. I also love that it's dog friendly!

Just sat outside for 15 minutes with no service. Went inside to ask if we could order at the bar and was told to go sit at the table. Still no service. It's 95 degrees, we had a toddler, and several servers walked by without even the offer of water. Eventually got up and left because there was no sign we would be served. Very disappointed and discouraged read more

I have been wanting to try this place for god knows how long. Former co-workers, friends and fellow yelpers have raved about this place and it was a Saturday afternoon with my parents and sister, that finally brought me here! Here is the breakdown: 1. The tasting room was huge, spacious and open. I love the old garage feeling, especially with the garage doors leading to the patio. I'll have to come back in the summer and take advantage of the perfect spot to sip on a brew. 2. The staff is beyond friendly. After picking a table near the bar, I was greeted by a young woman who poured our 8 beer sampler for us, all with a smile. 3. The Graham Cracker Porter and Hey Pumpkin Ale were our favorites by far! super creative names and flavors :) 4. Food trucks are parked out front, or station themselves there for the day. Currently it's Chilie Billie, and although I didn't sample anything, it looked delicious! DBC, i'll most definitely return in the spring and summer months to try out your patio, seasonal beers and food!! ps. In the fall, DBC offers a running club. runner drink for free afterwards too :) read more
