Yes yes yes please come on in!! 10 years of being open as of last month and this place will blow your mind! Especially if you're a space junkie like me! The beers on tap do not disappoint with the wide array of beer selection that they have. Nice covered patio area as well, and if you're lucky enough you might be there when the food truck comes on over! If you're in the area, come on over, even if you aren't come on over! Also a lot of prior or currently serving military do come to this brewery, so if your prior service like myself you'll fit right in!

Drinking beer while pokemoning.... - The image shows a Pokémon GO game interface with a virtual avatar standing on a street map. The avatar is dressed in dark clothing and a hat, with a purple Pokémon nearby. The map displays streets and green areas, with game icons such as a PokéStop and a gym in the distance. The interface includes typical game elements like a Poké Ball button, avatar profile, and navigation icons, indicating active gameplay in an outdoor environment.

I love visiting this local brewery since it's just a short drive from my house. They offer a wide variety of beers they brew in-house, and if you're not sure what you're in the mood for, the staff is great at guiding you with helpful recommendations. On top of that, they host a rotating lineup of food trucks, so there's always something different to try. Today's choice was Big Belly Brothers BBQ--definitely worth a visit!

Two glasses of craft beer are positioned on a dark wooden bar counter. The taller glass contains a golden amber beer with a foamy head, while the shorter glass holds a pale yellow beer with a slight haze. The shorter glass features the phrase "Craft Beer is Our Rocket Fuel" printed in black. The background shows a blurred bar setting with various items and decorations, indicating a lively environment.

I live about a 5min bus ride from here so of course I had to try it! Such a vibe! I especially love how each flavor of beer has its own license plate-sized artwork! There are over 30 different flavors and one non-alcoholic beer option. There's a food truck outside (not too sure on the operating hours of that). The beertenders are super helpful and if you can't decide on a beer, ask them for their suggestions! They will also allow you to sample the flavors if you're curious and wanna taste before committing. If you like multiple flavors, I'd highly recommend the flight (comes with 4). I came with my cousin and we tried a couple flavors. Here are some highlights: - Strawberry Moon: great and light dessert beer! Almost like a strawberry shortcake in beer form - Mischief Managed: very creamy butter beer! Let's go, Harry Potter fans! - Shoulder of Giants: an awesome Double IPA and my favorite beer from Launch Pad! What I love about this brewery is its commitment to community! They have many events going on monthly (ie Trivia nights, group workouts with a beer, cheese and beer pairings, etc). It really feels like it could be a second home within the neighborhood. There's also plenty of seating and it could serve as a great event space. I signed up for the rewards program and will def be a regular here

Happenin' spot with great beers! It's a space themed brewery with great beers and a ton of different options on tap. The two I happened to order today both came with a rim which was fun and added a nice flavor balance. The rockets inside the brewery are cool. Looks like they host a lot of fun events too.

Amazing Holiday Imperials on tap! - The menu features eight days of holiday brews, each with a creative name such as 'Cozy Christmas,' 'Churro Burro,' and 'Frosty the Doughman.' Each day lists a specific beer style and flavor profile, including ingredients like coconut, cinnamon, vanilla, pecan, peanut butter, and chocolate. The menu emphasizes a themed, festive approach to craft beers, with a focus on imperial stouts and milk stouts, starting from December 6th.

Amazing holiday event! Bacon & Beer Pairing. I've been here for the Cheese Pairing just as great. The Brewers & Staff awalys host great events here. This one was a 10/10. The energy was high the Bacon was great & Beers were great. We had perfect time because right now the have an 8 Crazy nights Hiliday Beer list that consists of 8 Amazing Imperials on tap All were mind blowing best most impressive flavor was the Imperial Snickerdoodle Blonde Beer & Pecan Pie Imperial Stouts. Before they are all gone stop by!!!

This is a fun n brewery to visit. The staff is friendly as are the regulars at the bar. I enjoyed the Vandyland IPA. It is a true west coast with plenty of hoppy bitterness paired with light citrus flavors. I also liked the Event Horizon, which is an earthy black IPA. It is smooth and has a nice bitterness on the finish. The only drawback is that I was staying in Thornton, so this was a long way away. Nonetheless, next time I'm in Aurora, I'll swing by.

Four small glasses of dark beer are arranged in a row on a wooden flight paddle, set on a bar counter. The background includes a space-themed menu and bar equipment, indicating a brewery or bar setting. The glasses are empty or nearly empty, and the focus is on the beer flight presentation.

Went here on 2/23/25. First time since 2016. They have expanded a lot since then. The space theme is great. Bright next an Air Force Base. They had 32 beers on tap! So many! They had a hop water and a homemade root beer. Bartenders were very friendly and attentive. Good size bar top and a lot of tables. Decent size patio. They are dog friendly. Tried the key lime blonde, tangerine wheat, wit, Hefeweizen, smoked porter and the two Belgian dark strongs. Some really good tasting beers! The key lime and tangerine are very crushable in the summer. Will definitely be back sooner than later. Cheers!

Flight O'Beer

I had a flight out of DIA and we wanted to hit a brewery before the flight. Launchpad is the place!!! There was a food truck where we got some amazing wings and tater tots. But the beer is amazing. We did a flight of several IPA's all were amazing. But take a look around this brewery is an homage to all things NASA and our veterans. It was my wife's birthday so the bartender did a beer shot with us. There are a ton of seats and over 30 beers on tap.

The image displays a promotional poster titled '8 Crazy Nights' for holiday brews at Launch Pad Brewery, starting December 6th. It lists eight days of themed beers, including names like 'Cozy Christmas,' 'Churro Burro,' and 'Wise Guys,' with descriptions of their ingredients and styles such as imperial milk stout and porter. The background features a winter scene with snowflakes and a silhouette of a forest, emphasizing the holiday theme.

Launch Pad has been one of the favorite breweries for years! They have an extensive menu and so many taps that if you are a beer lover, you will find something you love here! The staff is super amazing and so kind and this place is huge so you can have space to meet up with others!

First time in today and we were very pleased! Large variety of beers, the 3 we had (Sunrise, Twilight Temptation and Redshift) were all very good! Plenty of seating inside, cool vibe as well. My only complaint - I look in detail over their menu and I didn't see any other drinks besides beer. I'm not a huge beer drinker, I prefer seltzers or cocktails, just nice when places have that option. No food served inside so check out the food trucks. Bonus: dog allowed inside!

I've been coming here when nearby for years, and it has always been fabulous. The craft and creativity are unique. Sure, they tend toward sweeter concoctions, but they really nail it, with a huge range of beers - something for everyone here. Add some great food trucks and fun events and it's a big winner in my book!

So many beers! What to choose? You can't go wrong. They don't have food but a variety of food trucks make an ever changing selection.

See all

High quality beer. Great location. Superb beertenders…read more This large facility is a second location, and expanded brewing operation. It smells heavenly. The tap room is clean and modern, and offers games as well. On my visit, it was dog friendly. Love the serious inclusive messaging! Ordered a flight, then a 10 oz pour for a variety of flavor. Enjoyed interacting with patrons and my companion in a local award winning establishment.

Some breweries chase trends. Cerebral Brewing quietly out-thinks them…read more Located in the Bluebird District along Colfax, Cerebral is what happens when scientific precision meets genuine creativity~and then invites the neighborhood in to drink with it. The space strikes that perfect balance: modern but warm, intentional without being pretentious. High ceilings, soft lighting, barrels tucked into corners, clean lines behind the bar, and enough room to actually settle in (inside and out). The beer program is where Cerebral really flexes. Flights span an impressive range~clean lagers, expressive saisons, juicy IPAs, thoughtful stouts, and beautifully nuanced wild ales. Nothing feels rushed or gimmicky; every pour feels deliberate. You can taste the technical care, but also the artistic risk-taking. This is a brewery that respects process and imagination. Service? Genuinely top-tier. Not just friendly, but engaged. I ended up sitting down, chopping it up with the brewer and locals alike~no ego, no rush, just real conversation and shared appreciation for good beer. That kind of interaction is rare and says a lot about the culture here. Cerebral doesn't just pour beer~it creates an experience rooted in curiosity, craftsmanship, and community. Whether you're dissecting a flight or just vibing with a single pour, this place earns its reputation. Come thirsty. Leave smarter. Return often.

It's hard to believe Cheluna is about to celebrate their 10th birthday next year! They are…read moreincredibly consistent at making great beer and creating a community oriented atmosphere. Cheluna Brewing is located inside of Aurora's crown jewel, Stanley Marketplace. They're situated indoors near the west entrance in between Stanley Beer Hall and Sweet Cow. Owned by a lovely husband and wife duo, this place has become a fixture of Stanley Marketplace over the years. One of the best parts is that you can take your beer outdoors or even roam around the rest of the market with it. In turn, I think this what the only "downside" of Cheluna is; the fact that I've never sat inside the tasting room for a beer. It always feel a bit transactional because we take our beers and run, if you will. My go to's are the kolsch, cold IPA (GABF silver), and Mexican lager. The latter they serve with a lime and it's delightful. I'm really glad Cheluna is still kicking after a damn near decade in operation. They're definitely one of the most consistent options in the entire market. Support family owned spots, especially breweries, they need us right now!

Came in and the fine lady over the counter was so nice and welcoming. Couldn't stay long cause they were closing but glad I came in and will come back soon to try all their beers.
