Best place, amazing beer amazing vibes amazing trivia. Rotating taps are always great and keep it interesting

BEER: They have a great selection of beers here. I had the Bee's Knees, which was excellent. SERVICE: Fast and friendly AMBIANCE: Spacious and open - it also overlooks a park. Joyride is a great place to grab a beer with friends or a date. FYI - they are dog friendly! PARKING: Free street parking read more

Great beer selection! Would be better if they had tequila... do better Dave. Btw happy birthday!

Happening brewery with great beer! Came here on a Friday night with my boyfriend and we were surprised how many people were in. Figured that was a good sign. We lucked out, spying two seats at the bar and snatched them up. The bartenders were great at managing the bar despite the crowd! The beers were fantastic. When it was time for food, popped outside to the food truck and had some dinner. Since we're in the neighborhood, we'll be back for sure. read more

Great location and views of Sloans lake with ample food truck options daily and TVs aplenty....and here's the but...... The only downfall of this brewery is that they sometimes lean overly IPA heavy, like 6 of 8 beers will be IPAs, and I like them, also they can sometimes turn into a doggie daycare over the summer, this from a dog owner, not their problem but it sometimes verges on unmanageable If not for these two things it might be one of better spots on the west side. read more

I love Joyride! Their space is amazing: rooftop patio, great beers & dogs. What more can you ask for! We hang on the rooftop most of the time and enjoy the misters in the summer and heater in the cooler weather. Great service! They always have a beer for everyone whether you like blonde ales or double IPA's. read more

Joyride Brewing - Patio view - Breweries Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

Busy, busy, busy! This place is almost always packed when I show up, everyone fills in with their pups and it's very lively! I love that dogs are allowed inside but unfortunately not on the roof. I do understand their policy of no kids and no pets on the roof, it's a nice break for all of the adults that want to enjoy beverages without distractions. They rotate out beers which is great and you're allowed to bring any outside food in. The location is perfect too next to Sloan's lake! read more

Cool spot if you are looking for a rooftop and some local beers to try! I lived in the Sloans Lake area for a couple years and this spot is definitely a staple in the area. Views for miles of the lake and downtown skyline. You are directly across the street from the lake and in walking distance to locally owned eateries and other breweries. Cheers! read more

Joyride's biggest asset to me is their location. I absolutely love having a brewery on this little strip. Their beers are pretty good - 4 stars. They're often inventive and fun, but not as complex as solid as other breweries in town. They are super dog friendly, which is another giant plus. However their staff can be a bit...less warm. Overall I like it. I doubt I'd go out of my way to come back, but when I am in the area it's a decent option. read more

Nice staff but the owner is a dick. He assumed I had made a flippant comment and rather than engage me and ask he threatened me with violence and told me to never return. I had been a regular before this event and enjoyed the space but after this experience I am both stunned and shocked that he would treat customers this way let alone anyone. I will never return. read more

Hop on! That's the catch phrase at Joyride brewing. It's hard not to love a brewery with an elephant riding a bicycle as it's logo. But besides elephants, Joyride is open and inviting. There is a long bar that runs across the back of the central room and open high top tables that fill the rest. In the adjacent room, there are regular height tables. Around the bar you'll find TVs that are placed spaciously enough that fans from opposing teams can comfortably watch the game across the room from each other. They also have the NFL package, so you are certain to find your game here. Joyride also is a great community spot. You'll find beer and yoga classes, as well as beer and cheese tastings lined up. And Joyride sponsors many local league teams. But, let's talk about beer! They are a brewery after all. Joyride has a consistently rotating tap. Some of my recent favorites have been the pumpkin ale and the Touchdown Brown Ale. There is something for everyone - they have double IPAs, pale ales, and porters. The trip from central Denver to Edgewater is worth it. read more

I like bikes and I like beer, so obviously, I'm a fan. Joyride is a bike-themed brewery with lots of lovely beers to try, a sizeable location, and usually a great food truck out front. They rotate their taps pretty frequently, but I've always been able to find something tasty. I tried their Vitamin Sea gose last weekend. Beauty. Plenty of room to park your bike (obviously). Pretty big downstairs area that is well-behaved kid and dog friendly. Now they have a rooftop deck for adult humans only, which is going to be amazing when it warms up a bit. read more

Visiting here from San Diego, we yelped this place. The beer selection was only 7 types. Beer was okay if all you like is IPA's. Service could improve, didnt feel the welcoming or for that matter great service was not existent. Good thing they have tons of other places to go to. read more

They have awesome beer and normally i would give them 5 starts. However, now due to COVID they are NOT so dog or kid friendly. Hopefully after awhile things will change back to how they once were. read more

Perfect! Everything I look for in a great brewery... great beer. Good staff. Cool people. Lots of board games. Perfect chill and smoke atmosphere. No smoking in the patio... great selection of events and food trucks and brew.... totally screams "Colorado" read more

Joyride Brewing - Great red beer! - Breweries Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

Great location. Great service. This is a great spot to grab a beer with a friend. We dropped in after brunch to try the Pumpkin Ale. It was a nice, lighter pumpkin beer than I have had at other places. Not too heavy on the spice. Just an easy drinkin' brew. We enjoyed a couple while sitting at the open air bar facing 26th. It's a great spot for people watching! I love that there is free public parking in the lot across the street. Street parking was plentiful as well. And, they had a food truck with ribs on 26th. Just a great set up and location. read more

This brewery has been on my list for a while. I finally made it there- twice. It was a combination of coincidence and my positive impression of it. In the evening, it was slammed but in a good way. I asked the bartender to give me two of his best beers as tasters and later two more. Both bartenders were fantastic and friendly and attentive and knew their stuff. He told me the best beer was their double IPA. Who am I to argue? I really is the best beer they have and it was very good. I had several others but I would say the milk out meal stout was second on my list and a nice change of pace from the bitterness of the IPA. We were also here in the afternoon, which was a pleasant surprise because I didn't know it was all open air and since it faces south you get some great sunlight! They also have a good truck from noon if you need to eat something. It's good to know there is another good brewery in the area both in atmosphere and in beer. read more

Great little addition to the Edge of Edgewater. This corner brewpub has simple charm and a great relaxed feel thanks to the open design and friendly staff. The bicycle theme is also a very cool plus for me. No food service but they do have a great selection of food trucks -- similar to most other mirco-beer bars in the Denver Metro area. Dog friendly and great lake side views are all made possible because of the 6 garage doors- which are usually wide open. Alright then let's get down to the beers: I chose the German Style Lighter brew-" Ice Cutter Kölsch5.2% | 25 IBU | 3 SRM In the winter after Thomas Sloan flooded his farm, he would cut ice from the lake and sell it to local breweries. As most brewers in the day were of German descent, a Kölsch style beer could have been produced. Our Kölsch is a classic interpretation of the style. It's very smooth and drinkable like a lager, but has a light fruit flavor from ale fermentation. It has moderate levels of bitterness and noble hop flavor and a crisp, dry finish. Nothing pairs better with our lakeside view than our Kölsch." -- from the http://joyridebrewing.com/menu/available-year-round/ website. I did notice the fruit tones. I like lighter- crisp German Style brews. This one is a good one. On par with many local offerings. Next I had the Bringing It All Back Home Sour IPA. I am a big fan of anything sour or spicy in general. Here is Joyride's explanation of this very "unique" beer-- "To brew this beer, we kettle soured the mash for 24 hours, much like a berliner weisse, but then hopped it like an IPA with Amarillo and Citra. The malt bill is very simple, comprising of only pilsner, vienna and wheat. This was fermented with our house ale strain, known for being very clean and neutral, before dry hopping with another blend of Amarillo and Citra. I equated Dylan's falling out with the folk scene as the beer equivalent of violating the Reinheitsgebot, the German purity law of 1516, which states that beer can only be made with malt, water and hops (yeast was added later after it's discovery). So, we added pineapple juice in the mash to violate the Reinheitsgebot, as well as to add an extra dash of complexity to this already unique beer. In the aroma of this beer, I pick up pineapple, grapefruit and passion fruit, with a mild amount of funk from the lactic sourness. The flavor is is mostly void of that funkiness, focusing more on the tropical hop flavors, exerting melon, lime and grapefruit. The acidity from the souring accents these fruity hop flavors and lends depth. Bringing It All Back Home Sour IPA finishes dry, leaving you wanting another sip. " http://joyridebrewing.com/bringing-it-all-back-home-sour-ipa/ NOPE= I AM NOT A FAN. This beer truly smells and tasted like spoiled Pineapple juice. Maybe it would work for you? but I can say- it is not anywhere near my palate. I do hope to return to Joyride sometime again soon to sample more of their selections. read more

Staff at the bar were not friendly. Come to Joyride if you want to wait for their staff to finish their pint before getting served. Update to comment below: I did not experience any staff members being trained this day nor was it busy. Packed? Sure. Busy? No. A staff member was literally drinking their pint behind the bar and refused to look my direction, other staff members down the bar saw me but did not greet or acknowledge that I was waiting to order a drink. read more

My favorite brewery in Denver. Staff is awesome. Beers are clean, flavorful and they do a good job of rotating seasonally. I like they way they do Tuesday Trivia by putting it up on the TVs instead of trying to scream over the crowd. I can't wait for their rooftop deck to open! Pro-Tip: Call U.S. Thai for pick up on your way to Joyride. You can bring it into the brewery to enjoy dinner and some brews. read more

This is a place where truly everyone will know your name. And you'll always be glad you came. And you'll keep coming back. My beer of choice is the Bear Paw, because who doesn't love a dark beer for breakfast? read more

Fail. What happened to craftsmanship? As an idea, they might want to name a beer "Dog's Breath" as this is what you smell as soon as you walk in. Love dogs and the ability to bring em in but keep it in mind. read more

Joyride Brewing - Nice attention to detail. How'd this pass? - Breweries Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

Recently checked this out with my significant other on Sunday after talking about going to check it out for weeks. After our first visit, we will definitely be back! This place is awesome on so many different levels. As we were walking over we were concerned we would not be able to sit down, place was pretty packed for a Sunday late afternoon. Got lucky, and found two spots at the bar. We ordered a flight because all the beer sounded good. Bartender was cool and took the time to tell us a little about all the beers included in our flight. Good music, great atmosphere, dog friendly. In addition to the outdoor patio, the brewery is open (large garage doors) to the sidewalk and sits across from Sloans lake. Weather was perfect when we were there, very enjoyable to sit on a couple of bar stools that face a view of the lake and the city of Denver. The beer was awesome, we ended up each getting another pint before heading out. Check out Black Razz Blonde - def my favorite of all the beers I tried..fantastic summer beer. They do not have food here, however there are plenty of places right down the street that do. There was also a food truck parked right outside of Joyride, a wing truck that had grilled wings! They were ah.mazing. read more

Decent beer. Fun to bring dogs. Hands down the loudest brewery in Denver. If you head to clubs in Lodo at 3am on a Saturday it's like having afternoon tea at the Ritz compared to Joyride at happy hour. Absolutely deafening. 5 stars for the rooftop patio though. read more

Joyride is amazing! Great beer and wonderful staff. We also appreciate that they want to keep our community safe. Highly recommend!

One of the best Kölsch beers I had in the US! They're doing a great job with beer and covid safe seating!

It's my first time here and I'm really enjoying it. I'm on my second "boozewater", a beer seltzer I would recommend. It's gluten free, but I'm not allergic. There are dogs everywhere, which is very comforting. I haven't patted any of them yet, but maybe after this second drink I will. I smiled at a baby here and it smiled back. There are a lot of people here right now which assures me it's a hip happening place. I'm glad I couldn't find parking for the other places I tried to go before this one. Very nice atmosphere and I'm sure the other beers are as good as the one I'm drinking. I would note that there is one bathroom stall of 2 in the women's bathroom that must be made for very small people. I myself am a medium sized person and did not fit well in it. But I managed. I would recommended this place to beer snobs and newbies. read more

Joyride Brewing - Boozewater - Breweries Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

The service alone here is worth 5 stars. The staff is super friendly and attentive, the new rooftop patio is awesome, and they have a great selection of food trucks so you can eat while you drink. It's a fantastic spot! read more

Love this brewery! Great crowd and location. Right across from sloans lake and is extremely dog friendly! Love bringing my pup here after a long walk. They have a great selection of beers - love the IPA selection. Definitely recommend it if you are in the area and if you have a pupper. Also food truck located outside if you're hungry! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Good yummy beer variety and selection. Staff is what wins it here, tho... super friendly bartender while we were visiting, talked about home brewing And other breweries in town, he even recommended a few we might enjoy besides here! And lots of room inside for a crowd, kinda hard finding that kind of space in a local micro brewery. read more

Joyride Brewing - Yum!! AND elephant glasses!! - Breweries Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

Great atmosphere ... the roll up garage doors and the high top & bench seating give the whole place a beach bar vibe and it certainly doesn't hurt that sloans lake is immediately visible across the street! They are in the process of applying for an expanded liquor licence which will really make this place hop. Currently, they have a brewery license, so they can only offer their beer and water, but they always have a food truck outside and it is a different one every day. Want to know what is there ... they have a calendar on their website with which trucks will be onsite on a given day ;) The staff is amazing! We felt immediately at home, they were helpful, courteous and always around when you needed them. I really appreciated the attention to service and not just great beer. The beer ... how do I say, really good stuff! They are really doing some special work with their beers here! Do you like IPAs ... their Edgewater IPA is one you need to try. Stouts? at 8% the Bear Paw Oatmeal Milk Stout is definitely a choice you wont regret! And something lighter, it's seasonal, but someone definitely needs to order the "Give Peach a Chance - Spring Berliner Weisse", it is very much worth it!! Like light, but not the fruits, then go for the Ice Cutter Kölsch. read more

Joyride Brewing - The Tap List ;) - Breweries Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

A flight of beer please! How do you drink it? Light to dark? Left to right? I personally try one at a time, just a sip and then drink favorite to least because by the end, am I really enjoying it as much? Joyride has such a cool vibe. I love the reclaimed wood table tops and the garage doors that open up when it's nice out-- letting in the sunshine, fresh breeze and scenic Sloans Lake. Plus my furry companion can join in! Joyride doesn't try too hard and that's awesome. There's no kitchen but that's ok, they have a different food truck stopping by each night. There are plenty of TVs, shared seating and a plethora of board games to borrow. Be local and grab a growler of Edgewater IPA to go. You'll be happy you did. read more

With their constantly rotating seasonal and specialty beers, there is a beer here for everyone. That also means to not get too attached to those beers though. As far as their year round brews, the Antelope Amber is one of my favorites (I love a good amber beer!). The Oatmeal Milk Stout is great too for when I want something a little heavier. It's heavy, but a little sweet and very smooth. They list the food truck schedule on their website so you can check it out before you go. The garage doors are open when the weather is nice. Sitting at the bar that faces outside is great for people watching. There's always a few dogs inside every time I've gone. Most of them just hang out underneath the tables so they're not in the way. Just be aware, you will see furry friends! read more

I just got punched in the jaw. Well no not really but the back of my tongue took a shockwave of juicy flavor. Let me step back a bit. Today is Friday, not just any Friday but the first sunny 85 degree Friday of the year. Personally I love drinking beer on a warm afternoon so I grabbed up my pup and we hoofed it out to Joyride. We found a spot on the rail looking out at the lake and ordered the newest offering on the menu. They debuted a new beer today called the Shake It Off. It has something to do with a Taylor swift concert. Joyride loves music themed beers. On first taste I was a little shocked. Like I said my tongue puckered a little. There is a really nice combo of sweet and sour going on and the hoppy ipa notes come out on the back end. I really like the creamy consistency. This one may not too the billboard charts but it gets five stars from Malone. read more

Fun spot, right in the heart of Edgewater across from Sloan's Lake. Really cool set up with a large bar, bar tables, and regular tables. The brewery contains an open air set up. They also have a ton of events, so check their calendar! read more

Joyride Brewing - Beer menu - Breweries Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

I'm torn between two or three stars for this place. I'm giving them two stars because this place has way too many TV's. I know this is a subjective statement, but as someone who doesn't like to be distracted by television, it was impossible for me to sit anywhere in their taproom without having several screens within my immediate field of vision. My wife and I ordered a flight of their beers and there really wasn't a single one that stood out as something that I would want to come back for. I'm an IPA fan and I must say was that I was less than impressed with the three IPA's they had to offer. Out of the 8 or 10 beers we tried I would say the saison and stout were our favorites, but I use that term lightly. Even though they were our favorites they weren't something that makes me want to come back here. read more

Decent beers but inconsiderate staff. Very rude & inconsistent on their policies. Especially towards families. Claims to be family friendly- farthest from truth. Go elsewhere! read more

Good beer and great location but not kid friendly. Made us sit outside in the heat without umbrellas even though there were tables inside because the baby "took away from their capacity limit". Babies and breweries go hand and hand so they need to figure that out... read more

I was SO excited to finally try Joyride beers, I was definitely not disappointed! The bar has a cool vibe, it's dog friendly, and the service was great. I tried the blonde ale and a gose and both were great! Joyride was my #1 place to stop if I had time on my business trip and it was totally worth it! Also, the food truck last night was on point! read more
