    Rajah, the Queen

    Such a fun spot! It's wonderful to have a cool, local place to take beer and non-beer drinkers - the seasonal cocktails are always outstanding so be sure to check them out! They don't rely on drinks and vibe alone though, the service is what really makes this place special. Every server we have had has been attentive, fun, and sweet, and really transforms this into a "third space" that Windsor benefits from as a community. If you're lucky you may even get a visit from Rajah, the Queen (aka, shop kitty). Please just make sure you check the hours before you go - they aren't really open the hours you might expect for a brewery/distillery. We've had a few disappointing evenings rolling up after work to find out that they were already closing. It's worthwhile to find the time while they are open to visit!

    Growing the hops

    Super unique brewery/distillery/plant and garden center in one (but operate as separate businesses). The patio is hands down one of the best. Lots of varied seating. I love how it overlooks the hops they grow to use in their beers. We came on a Thursday afternoon and really enjoyed our time here. They serve food including brats and other snacks that pair well with beer Thursday - Sunday. I also appreciate that they are 21+ only. Service from Mijia was fabulous and Raj (the cat) even helped out a bit too. We tried a flight that was all of their flagship beers, which is a wide variety for everyone's taste. The Cold One - Colorado Craft Lager Blueberry Wheat Pinkalicious - Sour Ale with Lemon Verbena & Raspberries The Hoppy One - IPA Dr. Pat's Double IPA I really liked the double IPA and the lager is light and crisp. The sour was not too sour, but a great summer sipper. They have lots of cans to go! We would def be regulars here if we lived closer, and will not hesitate to stop when in the area next.

    A garden center walked into a bar and found a distillery. What? Yes. You will find all three here and all three are worth the trip. High Hops has been a go-to brewery for me for a few years now and they continue to be at the top of that short list. Creative brews, ambiance, and great staff continues to be the standard here. A great place to bring your puppers and kids. How can you go wrong with a brewery that grows their own hops? You can't.

    My new favorite brewery!! Tasty beer, a greenhouse, resident cat, and no kids! Will be back

    Pros: Tons of seating outside, lots of beer choices, an amazing blackberry sour called Puckerberry Cons: Beer is consistently warm. The past few times I've gone, I noticed they took steaming hot glasses right out of the dishwasher to fill with beer. This time, I didn't see that happen, but the beer was not cold at all. I got a taster tray and my friend got a full pour and none of my tasters, nor her beer, were cold. I'm torn.

    Very crowded and not a lot of seating options. A hipster crowd that is rather smug. Kids are welcome and seem to be running everywhere

    The Honeyed One, the house red ale, is one of my favorites, it has an excellent hop to malt balance and a nice sweet finish.

While the menu is somewhat limited, it's clear they focus on quality over quantity. Whiskey is, of course, the main attraction, but for those looking for something different, their Dry Town Gin or Vodka provide great alternatives. The prices are on the higher side, especially considering the smaller portions, but the convenience and ambiance make it worthwhile. The house salad was a standout--light, fresh, and paired perfectly with a honey vinaigrette that wasn't too heavy, making it an ideal choice for a happy hour snack. If you're looking for a cozy, somewhat upscale place to grab a drink and a bite before heading to an event, this distillery is worth checking out!

We mainly came for a drink or flight, but also added the snack mix; we had 3 bowls to share. We also were given carafes of water. We knew ahead of time that the Honey Smoked Old Fashioneds were quite good, so a few of us ordered them. We watched them being made at the bar next to us and they are able to smoke 4 at once using what looks like a cake stand with glass dome. They were indeed quite tasty. I also tasted a friend's Bourbon Margarita. I'd never heard of this cocktail but was interested. Again, tasty. A few of us purchased bottles of Old Elk to go. They gave golden elk bottle pours as a bonus (really nice).

We tried a few of them straight and they are really tasty. He has put together a fab cocktail list as well. We tried three and all were delicious. Impossible to pick a favorite. - Competition- 3 part gin, 1 part fyr, with some orange peel- this is a boozy one! I didn't expect this to taste very good given the combo, but it was excellent. - Beet down- Not sure what all went into this- gin, beet juice, maybe some lemon and tarragon? IDK, but the final product was beautiful and delicious. I wish I could recreate this at home. - Rosemary's baby greyhound- love the clever name and love this drink. Fresh grapefruit, clean vodka, rosemary, and maple syrup to sweeten just a bit. Wow. All the drinks are served on good ice- big cubes or cool spheres. Perfect place for sitting at the patio on a sunny day. Highly recommend!

With a friend in tow we strolled the Skunk Creek path - enjoying the sounds of the creek and the sereneness of the road less traveled. Although the path system is fantastic in town I don't often find myself on it (mostly for fear of pedestrians/strollers/skateboarders while riding my bike on the Boulder Creek path, but that's another story). In no time at all (ok I admit this is Sasha speak for any distance up to or around 1mile - a girl's gotta get those Fitbit steps in somehow!) we found ourselves at J&L. While approaching we could see there was a tour in the works and walked around the side of the building to the tasting room entrance. Ascending the stairs up to the tap room we noted a great outdoor space with several picnic tables outfitted with umbrellas (fantastic for those post hike libations). Inside we were delighted at the open yet cozy feel. We chose a couple of bar stools and took a load off. Nibbling on a bowl of pretzels we contemplated the creative cocktail menu. As my friend and I are both holders of the Boulder Passport http://www.boulderpassport.com) we relished in the fact that we'd be in the establishment for awhile enjoying not one but two libations; after all we had a lot of catching up to do. This was my friend's first experience with J&L and she was tickled that the bartender was happy to provide her with samples of their liquors. In the end she chose a Beet Cocktail while I went for the Palisade Peach Pie - great choices on both counts. While sipping our cocktails we noted that the tour was still in full force and we enjoyed glimpses of the group through a viewing window in the tasting room. Once the tour commenced the group found their way in to the tasting room as did the tour provider who happened to be one of the distillery founders. One of my favorite things about J&L (aside from the FYR liquor) is how approachable and open the staff are. I always find it to be a special experience when business owners take the time to not only interact but engage with their customers. I look forward to returning for a tour as well as sharing this great spot with more friends.
