New brewery / taproom in town! Right off colfax. 80s themed bar with arcade pinball and pool. Terrific beers and a awesome vibes. Highly recommend.

Love this brewery - always like trying a different "goo". I got the juice box goo this time which is slightly tart and a beautiful color, but not as gooey/thick as others. My only gripe is the price is a little steep but this is dang good beer. Husband loves his unfiltered marine biologist IPA (we asked and it's just marketing, nothing to do with marine biology hehe).

Not one, but two random individuals recommended this little brewery located in the quirky town of Nederland. Ned is located ~25 minutes west of Boulder through a canyon that terminates into the small mountain town. The brewery is on the outskirts of the main drag. Rolling into the taproom, one feels as if they are entering a cozy living room of a log cabin. Their tap menu consisted mainly of "unfiltered" IPA's which are likely available in cans for take out. Trust, you're going to want to grab some of those on your way out, especially after sipping on this holy and golden liquid. Perpetual Patience, an unfiltered double dry hopped IPA, had me shedding tears of pure, undiluted joy. Those Nectaron hops had this beer BURSTING with flavor; the hops were all but dancing on my tongue. Fresh to death, juicy, but with an ever present dankness. One of a kind. Insert more hyperbole here. Such a feeling was the case with their Vapor Clouds (grassy and dry) and the Formless Void (traditionally bitter w/ them Riwaka hops), as well. I'm glad the locals of Colorado led us true through the wilderness of the Colorado mountains to such a gem! 100% worth the drive. We even took the scenic route through the mountains back down to Denver. The scenery was truly unsurpassed. Such a special little place that is sure to capture your heart and mind.

Egg In A Hole, a fantastic unfiltered dry hop IPA!
Alden C.

Yes! I am so happy to give out five stars for this one! For Knotted Root I had their Egg In A Hole beer. This beer is a dry hopped IPA which was fantastic! Two summers ago I did get burned out on IPA'S so haven't been getting them as much but the IPA had with brewery was a nice return to have! Maybe it's because the beer has dry hops for it's ingredients which I do love dry hops in ciders and beers! Egg In A Hole was also unfiltered which made it different slightly but was an asset to this beer. This brewery holds other promising beer options and while Nederland is fine throughout the year Frozen Dead Guy Days is around the corner in March and nothing is better than seeing this small towns quirkiness at full strength and then warming up with Knotted Roots beers hopefully with a good dose of people watching in the process!

This place just makes great beer. They change things up pretty often, so don't get too attached, but also this means you get to try lots of great new brews. Excited to live near this one. Oh, and they don't serve food, but they do host food trucks sometimes. This is good. You do need to be prepared to pay a little more here. (e.g. ~$9 for 12 oz), but it's nice for a treat. Overall, a great addition to Ned.

Flight o' beers

This was our first time up here. We came with friends for the afternoon. Totally worth the drive. Their brewer is very creative. The staff was friendly. My hubby and I shared a flight of eight. Sunken Caves and Ca Phe Da were my favorites for the day. Lots of unfiltered beers. The music inside was not good for conversation so we moved outside. It was dog friendly. There were plenty of places to sit on a Saturday afternoon. I would go back and recommend for folks to give it a try.

Whichever goo beer they have on the menu, it's a must! It is a weisse beer and I'm probably explaining this wrong but to me tasted like the perfect mix between a sour and an IPA. Very delicious and refreshing. Great spot for dogs!

. Hiked Diamond Lake Trail and it's tradition to have a beer after so we found this spot!! Awesome brewery in downtown Nederland. Excellent beer! Plenty of seating indoor and out. They did not have a food truck when we arrived but it was also 6:30pm on Sunday.

Beer flights + food truck food (coconut shrimp, house fries, fried mushrooms and hummus)

Great selection of light beers including helles, kolsch and berliener wiesse (favorite and unique). The food truck is here on Sundays and had a unique selection of decent food. The coconut shrimp warm the sould. Dog friendly, lots of dogs inside on a cold snowy day! Great friendly vibe, fusball and ping pong. Would be a regular here if I lived here!

Nederland is a drive from Denver, but so worth the drive. When you walk in, you must order your beer before sitting. The line is at the end of the bar next to cooler. The atmosphere is eclectic with a cabin feel. Kind of like a dog kennel inside with dogs roaming around. Beware if you are afraid of dogs. There is indoor and outside seating. Let's get to the meat of the matter - the amazing beers. We tried several and they were all unique and delicious. I love IPAs and they were solid.

This was our first time here - and first time having these beers! Good sized tasting room, with a large open door at one end with barrel tables and chairs (where we sat). Having not experienced the beers before - we went with tasters of the whole menu. The thick juicy juice goo and purple paste were my favorites - but really you can't go wrong with any of their beers. Staff were super friendly, and there was a pretty steady flow of people in and out (but still plenty of room for people to sit and enjoy their brews!) We will definitely be back!

Honestly one of the coolest breweries I visited in Colorado. Amazing beer and a very chill, friendly staff. Pups are allowed inside; say hi to their resident dog who looks like a cute polar bear! Highly recommend stopping by after a day on the slopes or any other outdoor adventure!

I have many friends in Boulder and nearby who have told me for years that this is the very best…read moremeal they have had in Nederland. I have hardly ever eaten in town as we are usually just passing through to other locations in western Boulder County and adjacent counties, like Gilpin. We had a house guest who was interested to see the mountain ride along the Peak to Peak Highway this weekend, so we did the ride and then on the way back to Boulder, stopped here for lunch. So did apparently most of the people out on a beautiful Saturday. It was mobbed, both inside and out, and the wait list was 20 minutes for inside and 45 for outside. We put our name on the list for "first available" which turned to be inside, and at 25 minutes, close enough. That was fine for me, as the weather was changing outside. Inside was clean and moderately noisy but not obtrusively so. Outside had traffic noise and people waiting to be called, some with multiple dogs on leash, milling around. There is a prominent sign stating that only service dogs are allowed in. Their pizzas are small enough to be considered as an individual serving. We are not all big eaters, especially at lunch, so we ordered two for the three of us and even so, had a few pieces to take home for leftovers use. We ordered the Margherita and the Mama Suprema and everyone got enough to have some of each if they chose to. We had non-alcoholic drinks this time but their bar menu was very tempting with both beers and ciders on tap. I had only Margherita slices. The marinara was classic family recipe, the mozzarella was in small balls and the fresh basil leaves were prominent. The dough was Italian family recipe style, with wood fired char in appropriate amounts. This is not NYC style which has a stiffer bake and much more char. I do love both. The Mama Suprema had marinara sauce, with sausage, green peppers, red onion, mozzarella, and fresh garlic. The two that ate it said it was a great combo with a little kick but not hot and spicy. Our drinks were fine, an Arnold Palmer, a local root beer on tap and my sparkling water, which was an entire 16 oz bottle. I never had to ask for a refill. Our server was quick, friendly, with an efficiently positive demeanor and we really enjoyed the meal. The place was very clean and family friendly as a neighbor table had two small children enjoying themselves and sitting on boosters, nicely provided by the restaurant. The line went out the door until we were ready to leave, when most customers had finally been able to be seated. Plan ahead and be relaxed, because this is apparently what Saturday lunch looks like during the busier parts of the year. It was well worth it, prices were standard and everything was served on actual dishes, including the pizza. Often places will serve with the metal pan from the oven which is awkward on a table with multiple pizzas.

Line wrapped around the corner. Everyone waiting said it was the best spot in town. After a little…read morewait, we snagged a table. Luckily, two tops seemed pretty readily available. I want to say it was busy for sure but because it's pizza, there is no actual urgency. The pizzas take as long as they take so give yourself plenty of time. A few things I'd like to take a moment to point out. A.) Pizza needed to be cooked longer. I would have preferred them to cook it so that the cheese all melted. It's not really appetizing when it's not. Maybe another min or two could help but I'm guessing with them being as busy as they were, they may have pulled them early. B.) plates could have been cleaner. Server also asked us more than once if we needed anything else, and I did ask for a glass with ice so I can add it to our warm water that was on the table when we arrived, and I also asked for a straw and never received either. Pretty disappointed in the service. Nice enough young lady but don't ask me if I need anything and then never do it. Twice. It could have been cleaner across the board. Lots of flies and gnats flying around. I waited tables for decades and I always hustled. Clearing, cleaning, greeting a table so you know someone is coming even if you can't take their order yet. I think maybe just the small town and laid back lifestyle could explain it all. On the plus side, I am excited about reheating the pizza for lunch today because it was a little under, it will cook nicely today.

En route to Steamboat Springs and needing a quick break from the monotonous four hour drive, I…read moredecided to make a quick stop in Kremmling and grab a quick brew at Grand Adventure Brewing! SPACE/ATMOSPHERE: You can tell that the space was definitely a bar in it's previous life. Inside it's cozy like a hunters cabin. There's a pool table, wood burning stove, and a few mounts on the walls. I chose to cozy up to the bar, so I could chat a bit with the beertender during my visit. BREWS: I opted to sip on the Katie Says (a chokecherry honey wine) during my visit. This 12% ABV mead is def a sold brew and the nitro makes it super smooth and it had zero cough-medicine-esque notes. The chokecherries are locally sourced from the very own yard too! How fun! They have a small variety of every brew style available and a handful of guest taps too. SERVICE: The beertender working was super helpful and friendly as I browsed the tap list. She offered to answer any questions I had and brought over a food menu to in case I was craving something more substantial with my beverage. EATS: They share a space with The Dean West Restaurant and Brewstillery, so they do offer a variety of eats out of the from scratch kitchen. From burgers and sandwiches, to appetizers - they definitely have you covered. I find myself driving through Kremmling a few times a year and would gladly make a stop to see what new things Grand Adventure Brewing Company is brewing up! Cheers, Kremmling!
