Great little hidden gem in Aurora. Their website does not do their selection justice - they had almost twice as many beers on tap. they have a good diversity of styles from the crazy hopped-up Double IPA to a wheat beer to a brown ale to an Imperial stout. The ambience is very cool with a space/cold war theme and the service was great. read more

Sampled 7 beers! Had a blast! Made friends with bartenders and patrons! Love love love the Time toGet to Mars Pumpkin Milkshake IPA. I love cinnamon and clove and I felt that was what really came through! read more

This is one of the best breweries in the Aurora area. It is kind of hidden behind the 7-11 so make sure you don't miss it as you drive down Buckley. Their taps feature some of their staples, like my personal favorite the Trinity, as well as a steady rotation of 'experimental' and seasonal beers. They offer sampler flights if you're interested in trying a couple of different varieties as well as some small batches of bottled beer you can take home from time to time. The staff and owners are friendly and the environment is unique and inviting. I highly recommend you stop by and check out Launch Pad. read more

Launch Pad Brewery - The menu as of 3/16 - Breweries Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Great beer, cool atmosphere and AMAZING service. We had 2 different bar tendors and they both were awesome, cool guys. The tap room is a little on the small side so it got loud, but they have a patio outside and the big garage doors that open during the summer so that would make it less loud. Tried a few different beers and they were good, no complaints. If we are in the area, we will definitely be back! read more

What a fantastic new startup brewery. I love the style of the place, a converted auto repair shop and they kept the garage doors! Great tasting beer! read more

Launch Pad Brewery - Breweries Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Pretty good, mind the location. The main problem with Launch Pad Brewery is that you can't see it from the street since there's a 7-11 right in the way. However, that problem aside, I walked in and found the brewery to be nice and neat, and the staff really friendly. Plus, the extension of beers available is impressive, and very, very tasty. I do have to take a star off because they have no relation to Launchpad from the Ducktales cartoon. Heh. Otherwise, a great brewery, once you find it. :D read more

This brewery was tucked behind a shopping plaza in Aurora and is a fun little spot. They certainly out do themselves on the variety of beers, they had maybe 10 - 15 on tap the day I was there, including 5 pumpkin beers! The environment is a little military feeling, but I've heard that is to be expected in the area, it was cool, I was just surprised. I did really like the giant silver plane front behind the bar, that was pretty neat-o. This is a good spot to bring lots of friends, enjoy a bunch of beers and munch on some popcorn! read more

Launch Pad Brewery - 4 pumpkin beer tastings... - Breweries Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This place is simply incredible. They are constantly innovating their beers and never stand pat on their successes. My wife and I come here about twice a month and I swear we come in to 3-4 completely new beers each time. They just opened their "Glasshouse" addition which focuses on sour style and barrel aged beers, a great addition to their IPA's, Hefeweizen, and other traditional styles they brew. Staff is always friendly and can recommend any beer based on the style you're looking for. Overall I wish I could give this place 10 stars. read more

I tried out Launchpad on a weekday. They had a large selection of beers and the taster tray was very reasonably priced. I really appreciated the pricing on the taster tray, because when I go to a new brewery I like to taste everything to see what I like/don't like, so having the full range of beers at a reasonable price (some breweries charge an arm and a leg) was refreshing. The beer wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best I've ever had. They had a lot of different things, but nothing that just put me over the top. I wouldn't mind going back again for a pint or two, but it's out of the way from where I live, and the beers were about average. Their service was quick, and our server was attentive and made sure we were doing alright. The decor of the building is really neat though. It has the garage bay doors, and the decorations are very military focused with it being right by the base. read more

Great atmosphere and beer selection. The taproom staff listen to what we like in a beer and was able to make recommendations. Cool place to hang out. read more

Seriously - if you want good beer, this is the place. We have been coming here since day one, and they have been nothing but awesome. The anonymous, vaguely attractive beertender is super friendly and knowledgeable. There's plenty of room at the spacious tables, so bring all your friends. They allow dogs here - so you totally can get your dog fix, too. Come in and have a Soyuz, or any of the other tasty brews, and chill out. Best place in A-Town. read more

Tried the Friendship 7 - Enceladus IPA - Peach Cobbler - Shoulders of Giants - great beer and the owners are so friendly. Talked for a long time with them. Must come here and try their beers. Thank you for being so welcoming. You guys rock! read more

This place is absolutely wonderful! I have been here many times and enjoy the atmosphere and the people running it. The owner (Dave) has done a wonderful job in making sure that it is a laid back place to enjoy great beer and in good fashion. Not only this he has stayed true to his military persona by displaying the great banners and patches from local and out of state military units. If you like craft beer this is definitely a place to go if you are from town or out of town. You will not be disappointed! read more

Awesome beer selection. Lots of interesting combinations of ingredients and styles make this brewery a must try place. They must have had at least 10 varieties on tap the time we visited. Additionally, the ambience is pretty cool. We really liked the theme and feel of the brewery. They have a small bar food menu made by the Chinese restaurant in the same strip mall - yes, a Chinese restaurant. You can also bring in other food if desired. We'll definitely try Launch Pad again when we're in the area. read more

Awesome place with a great atmosphere! Love coming here and relaxing. Always have tons of new beers to test out and if you like dogs you'll love coming here. If you haven't tried it yet, it is definitely worth coming to check out this neighborhood brewery. read more

What a great little find! I love the quirky missile/space theme atmosphere. I tasted a few brews and ended up ordering a glass of their Enceladus Rye IPA. It was a near perfect pour, with a nice head and a decent piney aroma. A bit malty for my taste, but balanced with a nice, crisp Centennial hop finish. I'd definitely order it again. Great place, great people. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Delicious beer..can bring in food from the Mexican spot a few doors down and solid staff!

After 50 plus breweries in Colorado, this one might be my favorite. The service is outstanding! We talked with the owner and head brewmaster for a good amount of time! He let us try pretty much everything including beers that were not on tap!!! This brewery is not afraid to try different beers and experiment with everything anything! Worth the trip out to Aurora!!!!! read more

Launch pad was the BEST brewery we visited in CO. Totally worth the trip. Each beer was unique and had the best flavor!

This is probably my favorite brewery I've found in Colorado. The people are so nice and helpful but even more than that the beer is incredible. Heavy rotation so always new ones to try. They have a food truck schedule so you can make sure to come on a day your favorite food truck will be there. read more

Spacey- out of this world! Lots of seating inside- nestled off the street. Tried the Yummy Retrograde- Red Ale and Watermelon Zombies from Outer Space. Nice smooth gose! read more

Great brews nice people nice location. We will definitely be back. Lots of cool aerospace memorabilia on the walls. Close to Denver airport so you can make one last stop before leaving this beautiful state. They had a food truck outside and though we didn't try it, it looked good. read more

Wow... nice place to grab a quick beer. I been here 3 times and finally had all the beers. Dog friendly and a great patio to relax. Say hi to David at the bar, he will make you feel welcome and tell you all about the beers read more

Exceptional beer, friendly staff, veterans discount. Highly recommend. They play rocket launches on the TV and are very dog friendly

What an awesome place! Loved the atmosphere, the beer was awesome - my personal favorites are the Soyuz stout and peacekeeper porter. The staff is amazing! They're from Miami, and I was visiting from Miami so it was a nice little piece of home in Colorado! They allow dogs inside which is awesome if you're a dog lover! Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone! Till next time, launch pad! read more

This is my favorite brewery in Aurora and probably in all of Denver. Staff is super friendly and always willing to help you pick out a beer with free samples. As for the beers...haven't found one yet I didn't like. If your in the area I highly recommend this place! read more

A bit of a Pumpkin overkill right now with almost half their selection in pumpkin flavors. The others I tried were kind of indistinct. Overall I wasn't tremendously impressed. Will have to come back another time when it's not pumpkin season. read more

Amazing! Great beers and the staff is awesome...knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. If you're in the area and looking for a hidden gem...this is it!! read more

We've never been here before and were looking for a brewery near Cherry Creek State Park since we just took our dog down for the day. We called and they said dogs were allowed inside as long as they were "on a leash and well-behaved". The beer was fantastic and the gentleman behind the bar (who strongly resembles Tormund from Game of Thrones) was the nicest person ever! He was very knowledgeable about their offerings and even brought us some spent yeast for our pup to taste. Great experience! read more

I've been here about six times now And have tried about half of the beers on tap. It is a very solid brewery and the staff are very accommodating. They also have food trucks on Friday and Saturday nights so that is a plus. I was surprised to find something like this in this part of Aurora but nice surprise!!! Definitely step by here if you're in the area it's well worth it. It's kind of hard to see from the street but it is in the strip mall on the corner of Kentucky/Buckley right behind the 7-11. Awesome brewery stop in!!! read more

I love coming here, their beers are always expertly brewed (even their IPAs aren't bad). There's a daily food truck, and the staff is AMAZING. Quality place and definitely my 1st pick on a weekend. read more

Really friendly staff, cool merchandise, love this brewery.

This place is amazing. Great service, great beer and veteran owned. Highly recommend if looking for a famiky friendly beer.

My favorite place ever always the best beer key lime is my favorite !!! The food trucks are always great I some how always have a table !!! Service is always great staff is friendly and fun to talk to the atmosphere is fun read more

I love this place, especially now that we live a short 15 minute walk away. The beers are always great and they are more than willing to help you explore what's new. The staff is friendly and attentive. They may be chatting up the regulars but they notice when your starting to run low. The food trucks are always good; look out back to see who is there. Parking is occasionally tight, but I've always found a spot. No, there's no sports on, and I'm fine with that. read more

Clearly, Candy H. does not understand American History... reading is tricky. This place is fantastic. It is supportive of ALL lifestyles (not that this should matter as an American business, since our troops fought for the right to have alternative opinions). The beer was great, the service was great, and the fact that it is veteran owned and operated is better than great. They offer a military discount and I would HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

Gotta love new breweries popping up in Aurora, or really any place outside of Denver! It's a little hard to find as it is not visible from the street (blocked by a 7-eleven right in front of it), but well worth the search! There is plenty of seating inside, high ceilings, and a nice friendly ambiance. The owner's wife chatted with us for a long time and was super inviting and upbeat! The beers were pretty good - being a new brewery i'd like to give them a little time to iron out any sort of brewing kinks that may have come up when we visited! Either way, an awesome addition to the neighborhood and I will certainly be back! read more

Great place for a beer with buddies and dogs allowed! Highly recommend this for an after work Chilly!
