    Strawberry goo, prickly pear goo, coffee raspberry stout
    Tiffany A.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    For a brewery we we're expecting a little more but the experience overall was fine. They were very…read morebusy. There was a wait for tables, which is good for the business. There was one bar tender and maybe two servers for the whole place. So to be fair the bar tender was busy but it was a long wait for our drinks. We didn't get our first beer until the food came. As for the food.. I totally understand that the market is high right now for food. But, over $20 for 1lb of wings with sauce that was not good seems steep. The wings were small. The Buffalo sauce tasted like sweet baby rays. It was not my favorite but a whole lot better than the Parmesan garlic sauce. I would not over the parm garlic sauce. ‍ I'm not sure what it was but it did not taste like garlic or park at all. It tasted like melted butter on chicken. On a $60 bill I would've hope the food was better. Most of the beer, from what I saw, was not made at this brewery. The Breckenridge Juicy Drop was the home run for me.

Westbound & Down is a great place to check out and service matches the great beers they offer as well. Greeted with a warm welcome and a smile, we were quickly whisked away to our seats and greeted by a wonderful waitress with colorful tattoos on one arm and black/white tattoos on the other. She ran through the list of food and beverage like she had written the menus. The ambiance matched their personalities and easily had the mountain vibes! We ended up getting something fairly small since we had big plans for dinner in town. The bison burger was such a great bite after bite and the fries did not disappoint. We would certainly return and check it out again and again!

Unfortunately the service and food were average at best. Our waiter seemed rushed and barely made eye contact or stopped at our table. The burger and chicken sandwich were fine. The fries were the best part. The chicken sandwich had way too much coleslaw so the bun disintegrated pretty quickly. We enjoyed the food enough but at the price, we expected more both from the food and the service.
