Our Hometown Brewery. Owners Doug and Jake have made Downhill a brewery with a ferociously loyal following. The beers are varied and brewed with love, dedication and precision. There's a beer for every palate. The pizzas are New York style and, when paired with your favorite beer, makes a delicious meal. As important as the beer and pizza is, it's the atmosphere and staff that make Downhill special. The "Cheers"-like, ambiance is extremely friendly and welcoming. After your first visit, you're a lifetime member of the "Connoisseurs of Downhill Club" (CDC, no, not that CDC, but what Downhill has to offer can cure what ails ya). The staff is amazing! They are all very knowledgeable about beer and are happy to provide recommendations. Beyond that, though, they're all quick with a smile and make you feel like your a regular whether it's your first or fiftieth time at the brewery. I highly recommend Downhill and look forward to seeing you there. read more

I really like this place! The beers are solid and the staff is friendly. The PB brown is delicious and I loved the blood orange IPA. I tried the Kolsch on a whim (not my favorite style) and really enjoyed it. The patio is dog friendly which is nice too. This is my go to choice brewery in Parker. read more

I finally forced myself to make another visit to this brewery due to a few requests to profile it for my website, and after another visit I left feeling the same way. There was only 1 beer I enjoyed and that was the hefeweizen (same as my first visit). The seasonal beers all tasted very artificial (caramel extract in a vanilla caramel porter) and artificial ingredients don't belong in craft beer. The main difference now is the brewery also seems to be going through an identity crisis where the wait staff presented themselves as if they worked at a biker bar in a mountain lodge themed brewery. If more breweries eventually open up in Parker with tap rooms an Elk Mountain actually has competition I would not be surprised to see this place fade away over time. There will not be a third visit. read more

Out where I live, craft breweries are few and far between. The ones that are out here, have either funky hours, are too packed to have a beer inside, or don't have very many beers on tap. Elk Mountain Brewing is close to home, has plenty of seating, and has a lot of beers on tap. Add in some free popcorn, and good background music and i'm sold! Try them out if you're in the area! read more

Fantastic beer (try the Saturday Nut Fever), and pretty damn good pizza. The service staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Best brewery in Parker hands down! read more

My wife and I love their brews. This is not a restaurant so I'm not sure why people are deducting for them not having food. It is basically a tasting room that looks like a bar and many small breweries start out this way. I love their stout and the wife loves the pale ale. Fill up a growler and give 'er a try!!!! read more

Peanut Butter Brown is delicious! Great place to hang out. Like a modern day "Cheers".

They always have a nice selection of beers. Very unique and quite tasty. Service is always excellent and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

I don't drink beer, but even still I stopped in. The staff is friendly, and really only knowing the brewing process and never finding any beer that I actually like, I can't say much in the way of what they have here. I did try a couple of things. I guess this place is more traditional when it comes to the styles they make or so I am told, so if you are looking to try a couple of really off the wall creations there isn't a whole lot in the way of that here. The space is appropriately decorated, still I feel a little outta place with the location. There is a pool table to pass the time if you are so inclined and a popcorn machine. read more

This is normally my go to brewery in Parker. I understand they recently changed ownership and are soon to be called Downslope? Some of the beers are the same but I like that they seek to be adding new ones. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I don't see many updates on twitter and that's what I prefer to use for beer/food truck events. read more

I ordinarily like the beers here, but I stopped here last night and the beer was not good at all. The IPA, kolsch, and pale. Tried them all and thought they were all bad. Best described as an unusual acidic taste to the beer. Bartender mentioned something about a new head brewer, fermenter, and glycol system being off. Regardless, I was disappointed. Hopefully they get things fixed because I've enjoyed the beers here before. read more

Fantastic beer! We stopped in for a beer and ended up staying for hours and ordering food. I enjoyed the simplicity of the atmosphere and the owner was very friendly. I was a bit thrown off by their lack of food, but when you think about it, it's genius. I love to cook and I'm a food snob, so the fare at the usual brew bars is mediocre at best. I can literally make food at home, pack it up and eat it at the brewery. Besides, when can you order Chinese food AND drink wonderfully crafted microbrews?! read more

Awesome place. I keep telling everyone I know that they have to check this place out. Great beer, great atmosphere, pool table, friendly staff, great beer, can bring in any food or have it delivered and most important...GREAT BEER! read more

Elk Mountain is definitely one of the better breweries in the Denver metro area. The tap room always seems to busy because of the devoted following they have. The Wild Wapiti Wheat is an excellent Bavarian weiss, and I also enjoyed a cherry stout they had at the time. To be totally honest, I prefer Hall Brewing, which has a tap room just a short distance to the south, but Elk Mountain is well worth your time if your'e in the area. read more

Great scotch ale on tap here! My wife the Trojan rabbit Citrus pale ale. She loved it

Good beer, good people and good times...what more can you ask for. They don't serve food, but you can carry-in whatever you like, or have something delivered. read more

Had a great time on Saturday! First time visit. Recommend doing the beer flight to start. Friendly staff!

Great casual place! Staff are all super nice like coming around asking how things are. Bring your own food (cause food truck cancelled) - popcorn provided yet owner ordered free pizzas, very generous indeed. The "Golden Bear" was my fav light beer w/lil fruit taste! To top it off they partnered w-Paint Cellar to have beer mug painting right there in the bar (reasonable fee), what a fabulous way to enjoy new flavors of craft beers, meet new ppl, plus support local arts -the beer mug is mine to keep! read more

Good beers, clean place, nice people and close to my home, perfect!

This is my absolute favorite brewery in Parker. Great customer service, inviting and friendly environment, free popcorn, and great food trucks! There's a patio out back with corn hole and Jenga too!They also have an awesome variety of beers for everyone that's constantly changing. Love it!!!! read more

Okay walk up to some older man in the parking lot bleeding from what looks like a fight or something with about 5 others standing around him. Beers were okay nothing great to say kinda seems like I might need to get a tetanus shot read more

I was here only one time; to pickup my husband and his friend who had "overindulged." I have to say, the bartenders were extremely patient with those two and their antics. My guys seemed to be very impressed with this place... they didn't want to leave.... read more

Really great beer! Rye IPA and peanut butter brown were absolutely delicious! Good atmosphere. Look for name change soon! Downhill Brewery! Parker CO is on the craft map now! read more

Love this local brewery! Great beers, even though they were out of my favorite amber ale. Staff is friendly and always willing to let you sample till you find something you like. Can't wait till it's patio season to enjoy the dog friendly patio again! read more

Home brewed beer in Parker. What is not to love? The prices are good and the beer is consistant in taste. I especially like Firkin Wednesday's to try a new beer in the "old" style. read more

Been there done that. Solid beer. Fun atmosphere. Nothing to write home about but worth a stop if your goal is to visit some popular brew spots. read more

A great place to unwind with friends. Many different offerings on tap. Bring your own food in and camp out at the picnic tables.

Pretty decent beer, I was impressed. I stopped in yesterday rather than going to the gym... Ordered a flight - the flights are huge! 12 samples. Bartender was friendly and patrons were cool - lot's of locals. Overall a nice experience - I was particularly impressed with their Hefeweizen and Nitro... I'll be back! read more

Great brewery with delicious beer! the new pizza place they opened up inside is very tasty as well. Love their stickers too! We're looking forward to our next trip to Parker and The Downhill brewery. read more

This place is hard to find, even for someone that lives in Parker. It's tucked away in the light industrial buildings just a little west of Parker and Plaza. That said, the beer in this place stands up to anything I've had anywhere else! The wheat beer is as good or better than my favorite Paulaner. The brown ale is on the board as award-winning and is a wonderful nutty, smooth brown ale. I can't wait to try the rest of their beers! This place is why growler cozies where invented! read more

I gotta say, any brewery in my opinion is a good thing. And this one did not disappoint in terms of tasty cold beverages. I love the fact that when you order the beer sampler, they bring it out on a snowshoe. Hands down favorite has to be their hefeweizen. I know I like my lighter, summer beers and this one left me wanting a whole growler of it. One thing that did disappoint me though is that they no longer allow dogs in here. I'm not sure if there was an incident recently or not, but they now have a sign posted on their doors stating that no dogs are allowed. Other than that, they have about 4 flat-screen tvs on the walls and are more than happy to accomodate your viewing pleasure. And you can't beat the free pool and popcorn! read more

Visited late last week, and oh, how the pizza has deteriorated :-( We've been going there for years, under the old ownership/name and before the pizza kitchen opened. When the pizza kitchen opened the pizza crust used to be one of the best I've had. Fast forward to now - what the heck happened? The crust was like a soggy saltine, no taste, no substance, nothing. Once upon a time it was a spent grain crust. I know that's a challenge; they backed away from that. That took the pizza from a 5 to 4, but wow, it's bordering on bad now. Beer's okay, there's so much less variety than there used to be too. Sad day indeed. read more

I'm a regular at this place. The service is good and the beer is good and consistent. They usually have a food truck outside if you're hungry and it's close to my house. I only wish they had more beer selections. read more

We entered Elk Mtn tonight at 8:15pm to celebrate a huge mile stone for an upcoming business in Parker with several of our supports in tow! Bummed to see the closing time was 9 we grabbed beers quickly and started to Celebrate. Long story short we left happy at 9:40! A big thank you to Bartender Crystal, she was so amazing and understanding! I highly recommend Elk Mtn for a great time and GREAT beer!! read more

Great brewery! service, beer, and ambiance are everything youd wish for in a neighbirhood brewery!!

Great little place in parker for some micro brews. Love the nitro tap. Very laid back and cool place to go. There more than willing to give you a sample of whatever you like. I love the IPA there. The only down side is they have no food. read more

Beer is good and the service has always been excellent. IPA seemed cloudy but it was one of the better IPAs I have had. Love the S&K Bahn Mi food truck that shows up on Growler Tuesdays. Have gone two Tuesdays in a row to grab a 5.00 sandwich and a cheap growler. Check it out, you wont be disappointed! read more

Cool brewery decor and good beer. Too long of a drive from Denver but Parker folks are lucky to have a good brewery near by. I cannot say I am a fan yet, the Imperial Cherry Stout was very yummy but I just did not feel it quite yet. Keep on working on your brews, add some nitro and better saisons, experiment! Suburban breweries are lucky since they have a steady flow of suburbans and don't face the competition Denver-based breweries do. However, this does not mean they have to settle and produce average good beer. It has to be great if it is in Colorado. read more

We are visiting the area and stopped in for one quick one, but it was a good one! Liquid Assets, an excellent 2XIPA. The space is modern, but it has a good pub feel to it. There was a pizza food truck outside, and a patio out back. We plan to return several times before we leave town. read more

A great experience. The staff and owners were very helpful and were a joy to be around. I heard they're will be more changes to make the patio more attractive by a wonderful space a great beer. I know with the new owners an emphasis on the quality of beer and service is first priority. Can't wait to see the great changes and I will continue to be a regular even though I live 30 minutes away! read more
