Foreboding Obelisk, Golden Roast, and Bavarian Contrarian
Jennie K.

While visiting Denver, my friends and I decided to visit a brewery, and Monolith Brewery was the one! There isn't a large private parking lot for Monolith, but about a block down from the brewery, there is a small lot between neighboring businesses that fits at most 12 or so vehicles. Any other parking would be along the streets. Upon entering, we were greeted by a smiling staff member who was readily available to assist in taking our orders. As we looked at their beer on tap wall, we were in awe of all the options available. I went with their flight of three: Foreboding Obelisk, Golden Roast, and Bavarian Contrarian. All had different tastes, where the Foreboding Obelisk was like a Guinness - the coffee taste, the Golden Roast was like a Blonde/ Golden Ale - which had a balanced and smooth taste with a malty richness that's complemented by a subtle hint of sweetness. It was an easy-drinking beer. The Bavarian Contrarian gave a smooth, crisp flavor with a delightful balance of malt sweetness and hop bitterness. The ambience was very chill. There was plenty of seating throughout the brewery, and they also had some bar games at the back. It was fun to see the openness of the brewery system for the beer taps. Music is played on the overhead speakers, but it isn't too loud that it overpowers patrons talking to each other. They have multiple gender-neutral bathrooms that are kept clean and tidy. I highly recommend visiting Monolith Brewery. They have a variety of beers on tap and serve some food items. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely pay another visit.

Showed up a few minutes before they opened on a Sunday. Stephen (beertender) was super kind and let us come on in a little bit early. We got a flight of their coffee beer, chili beer, peach sour, banana stout and smoked sausage stout, and they were all really tasty. The smoked sausage stout was particularly unique and delicious. Loved the atmosphere as well.

Feather bowling!

This is fun newish brewery we stopped by on a little tour of this area. Friendly service and great ambiance! They have a big game in the back called feather bowling and we had a blast playing! Beers were tasty and cold! We'll be back!

Our service at Monolith was top notch! The bartender was very knowledgeable and welcoming which we greatly appreciated. The only downfall was that we didn't like the taste of the IPAs or Sour that we ordered. However that does happen! I'd recommend that you check out the place and see for yourself. I'd also recommend that the empanadas are heated more because the inside was cold. The atmosphere was fun that can fit a lot of people. They also had a cute dog walking around!

Bavarian Contrarian
Noah K.

Great neighborhood spot! Very much a local atmosphere. The bartender was super welcoming and friendly and hooked it up with a couple of Great beers. Bonus: most beers are served in 19.3oz glasses. Big beers are dope!

"Pint," as poured
Andrew M.

In Denver a couple of days and wanted to check out the well-known brewery scene in town. Don't waste your time at Monolith. Monolithic disappointment. Go to a real brewery. Staff should work flipping burgers. Place is strained. No sense of a beer operation, or true love of craft beer. Feels corporate. I commented on the head on the beer that was poured (see photos). He said it was a pint after the foam goes away (paraphrasing). He didn't do another pour, no apology. Total disbelief. Unacceptable. Go to a dive bar and have a PBR. You'll have a better time.

Small batch brew

I haven't written a review in a while. Everything has seemed pretty blah. Stopped by Monolith on a walk around Denver recently. Presidents' Day and bidding time before a flight and they were open. The attention to detail is noticeable as soon as you walk in. Seriously....from the tap Handles to the far reaching menu( if you can't find something to drink here you are the problem ), to the fact they carry the excellent empanadas from next door, Monolith was such a nice discovery. Breath of fresh air from the service to the excellent craft beer. Stop by, drink a beer and try your hand at the crazy game going on in back. Well worth it!

Cool lights!
Dawn J.

Friendly staff who greeted us by name, 8 beers on tap with a good variety of styles. And also offered some guest taps from other breweries. They had various empanadas from Maria's. Large taproom with a cool mural painted on the main wall. Recommend you give them a try! Cheers!

Live Jazz
Rachel M.

Wonderful neighborhood brewery with great community events (live jazz every Tuesday and board game nights on Wednesday). Dakota, one of the bartenders, is incredibly friendly and welcoming!

What a great find in the new to us Platt Park area! Selection of beer wine and cocktails! Food for thought... Pretzels and empanadas to snacking on! Thanks Steve!!!!

Bad Ass Smoked Pulled Pork Stout
Arthur H.

The Bad Ass Smoked Pulled Porter Stout was awesome. A beer that drinks and eats like a meal all at the same time!

two glasses of monolith beer
Savannah K.

Was walking down S Broadway and saw a new brewery that I hadn't hear of. Stumbled in & it was amazing !! The staff was so friendly and inviting. The beer was delicious !! They had some very unique beer flavors (serrano jalapeño, coffee blonde, etc). They offer empanadas but I did not eat when I went. Monolith is so close to my apartment - I will definitely be returning !!

That was back when the audience was maybe a third to a half full. Now it is often standing room only. So, I don't go. But the other night, I was heading down and wanted to grab some food and a beer before I kept going on over to other breweries in the neighborhood. I ordered the OG. That is under DAS hoagies. It has schnitzel, bier mustard, arugula, pickled onion, tomato, Parmesan, and Helles vinaigrette. I thought it was pretty good. I'm not sure I would order it again. The beers, of course, were excellent.

It's truly a…read moreunique concept housed in a gigantic building with multiple areas to drink, eat, play, and more. Bierstadt is a lager only brewery. They only have a few beers on the menu! Of course there are variations like a Michelada, house cocktails, wines, NA options, etc. The difference between producing lagers and ales is MASSIVE, and I tip my cap to everyone involved in crafting beers that have put Denver on the map. The Slow Pour Pils is one of three beers that I would consider the unofficial beer of Denver. It takes five minutes to pour, is served in a custom made glass (really cool story behind this), and has the perfect floating foam (like a cloud) sitting perfectly atop the beer. I crushed two of their Italian Pilsners yesterday. This is simply a fantastic beer. The Helles and Dunkel surely are not to be missed. But do one thing, get their Oktoberfest when it comes out (usually around mid September). It's one of the best I've ever had. There's a lot of stories inside this building. The legendary pieces of equipment, the unique brewing methods, the different spaces to hang out, etc. There's a reason Bierstadt has been tapped as the brewery "where the brewers go." To me, they can never receive a higher compliment. I'm really glad they're still kicking after celebrating their 10th anniversary. Almost a teenager!!! It's always fun visiting this place. This is a Denver must when it comes to breweries. You might not summit a 14er at this particular Bierstadt, but you'll find some of the best traditionally brewed beers in the country.

We did check out the nearby BBQ but you can read more about that on its own review. OMF has been opened for almost 14 years and the quality of their beer we tried showed they know what they are doing and why they've been open for so long. On tap they had a good variety of beers during our visit. My wife had Super Blue which was their 7% blueberry sour. I had Odette which was their 6% foeder-fermented mix culture saison. I had asked the bartender his favorite beer and he suggested that one. Both beers were solid. Being to so many breweries I will say despite some unique decor/touches they did lack something over the top memorable compared to some others. Solid beers with the option of some tasty BBQ available nearby. A brewery worth checking out for beer lovers!

However, now that I am coming here more often, usually to kill some time before a comedy show at the denver Comedy underground next-door, my experiences have been pretty dang positive. The beer tenders they have working here are just good people. They run the gamut from men to women? to different levels of energy and everything else, but they are uniformly helpful, interesting, and nice. I think this is why they deserve that extra, fifth star. I'm not a hophead, but I feel like I can always find a couple or more choices here that fit my wheelhouse of lighter beers, or fruity ales, or just something really interesting (like a sour). I also appreciate that. They always have a couple cocktails and a slushy or two to be had here. It's a great space. I'm glad it has been around as long as it has.

We were greeted and served by the bartender Junebug and although it seemed like he was the only staff, he was friendly and attentive with us and all the patrons. The beer was great, there were so many great options to choose from and so we had some of the IPAs, lagers and ales. Staying true to the name, the decor has a woodsy feel and the handles are made of various wood shapes. It was nice to see that they also offer some mixed drink options, margaritas, and a slushy option. There were some salty snacks available for purchase which was also a nice option to have. Happy Hour M-F 3-6pm with $5 pints. The place and restrooms were clean (two singles), there were some canned beers and merch items available for purchase, an outdoor patio and plenty of street parking. Overall the service and place were great! Some things to mention, having the live band was great and the place is dog and kid friendly which are also a nice option to have at any venue. But the volume of the jazz band was just a bit too loud for the space and together with the many small kids playing and running around took away from this being a relaxing day. Nonetheless, the bartender Junebug made it an overall enjoyable evening after the kids left and we closed off the evening with another great brewery find that we'll be sure to visit again.

Staff let us sit with everything, which was greatly appreciated. I've said it before: I don't know beer terminology. Good beer or bad beer. Those are the departments. Black Shirt serves good beer. You can tell me about the hops, but understand I'm nodding with absolutely no care or credentials. The garlic bread was great. Comes in little pull-apart pieces across the whole thing, so you can keep telling yourself you're having "one more piece" while dismantling a whole loaf. Excellent engineering. Terrible oversight on my part. Pizza was great too. They let us split it and even offered my wife a different protein. Little accommodations like that make a difference. We arrived with enough luggage to suggest a custody dispute, and they were still finding ways to improve our afternoon. The atmosphere was pretty mellow when we went on a Sunday afternoon. I'd imagine it picks up at night, but we enjoyed it as it was. Good beer, great food, accommodating staff. Highly recommend, especially if you've just landed and need someone to feed you while you sit surrounded by every possession you decided required its own outfit.

I'm not sure if I would have ended up here had I not been taking the bus; however, BSB was a solid spot nonetheless. Since we were here anyway, we figured we would grab dinner. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, the garlic nots, and a few slices. I love a place that does pizza by the slice, especially when it's just two people. They obviously have plenty of beer choices and a full bar, plus they did have one NA beer option (not brewed by them). The food was good. Service was spot on. The Brussels sprouts were probably the highlight. This certainly was not the best pizza I have ever had, but I found nothing to fault it for either. Pretty cool place to grab a drink and a slice. Certainly worth it if you're meeting the bus here, but could also be worth the visit if you're in the area and craving pizza.
