Great space and great beer. I have been to Ratio many times and I would say it's one of the great beer stops in Denver and in RiNo. I love the King of Carrot Flowers beer, which is a pretty orange color from the beta-carotene and it's very tasty, a little bit unique I'd say, also. They have a small outside/side patio. I've come here many times for events, as this is a good place to accommodate a group. There usually aren't food trucks in the times I've been here in the past, which is ok you just have to plan for getting food elsewhere, and there's plently to choose from in the general area. They do also have a few non-beer options, but not hard alcohol or wine, so just know what to expect if there's a non-beer drinker in the group. The beer tastes best right from the tap of the maker! read more

Service was great! We loved the suggestions and able to sample the beers before committing. We had a great time just chilling and having a beer. Very enjoyable laidback atmosphere and would recommend to anyone! read more

Ratio Beerworks - Beer - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Dropped into Ratio Beerworks during a brewery hopping day with local and out-of-town friends. The location is great, right in the heart of RiNo, and the beer itself is solid (the Carrot & Elderflower IPA was outstanding). Unfortunately, the service from one bartender was so bad it almost ruined the entire stop. Here's what happened: we sat at the bar, it wasn't even busy, and one of our friends asked if they did flights. The bartender with the navy shirt covered in stars and lightning bolts sighs loudly, acts like it's a huge inconvenience, and reluctantly says, "I guess I'll do it for you." My friend felt so bad she even apologized for asking--which is insane, since flights are standard at most breweries. From there, he basically checked out. Instead of engaging with us, talking about the beers, or doing his actual job, he spent the night scrolling on his phone and chatting with a group of his buddies at the other end of the bar. On a Friday night. In a customer-facing job. If you're that miserable, don't clock in--you're the face of the brewery when you're behind the bar. The only reason this review isn't a flat 2 stars is because of Dillon. He stepped up big time: came over to ask how we liked our flight, helped us choose pints, and even recommended the taco truck outside (which we loved). Thanks to him, we stayed, ordered a bunch of beer, and still tipped 28%. Dillon is exactly who you want representing your brewery--professional, personable, and attentive. The other guy? A total embarrassment. Lazy, rude, glued to his phone, and only pretended to care once he saw us spending money. If someone like that worked at my brewery or restaurant, I'd cut them immediately. Customers notice, and it drags down the whole experience. Bottom line: Ratio makes excellent beer and is worth visiting, but your night depends entirely on who's behind the bar. If Dillon is working, you'll have a great time. If it's the other guy, brace yourself for terrible service from someone who clearly doesn't want to be there. Great beer, one terrible employee. If you see the bartender glued to his phone with stars & lightning bolts on his shirt, don't expect service--just wait for Dillon. Ratio: your beer deserves better representation. Dillon is exactly who you want as the face of your brewery. The other guy? Lazy, unprofessional, and flat-out disrespectful. If he worked at my place, he wouldn't have a job. read more

I said I liked cider and this is the drink that the bartender recommended. My friend and I parentheses (photographed) described it as sweet and a beer more than a cider. Very nice service and LOVED the outdoor area. All I wanted was some rocks under a wood table, and they delivered! read more

Ratio Beerworks - King of Carrots - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Second time in here and it is just as good as I remember. Definitely some great beers, and one of my favorites, King of Carrot Flowers, which is a carrot saizon! As today is opening day of the Rockies at Coors Field they are launching and releasing a Mexican-Style Lager called Cityscapes, which has a great flavor! No food in here regarding service for food but you can bring in any food in the area. There is indoor and outdoor seating, it is very cozy with the heat that they'll have going but it won't be overly hot! Come check it out as this is one of the greater Denver Breweries! read more

They had some interesting styles on tap when I was there --who knew carrot flowers would taste so good when brewed into beer? I liked the space a lot except that it was cold when we got there and the garage doors were wide open. Overall, it was a decent stop on our mini brew hop through Five Points. read more

We love this brewery - was the place that my partner and I had our first date. The king of carrot flowers is my favorite and they have tons of outdoor seating which is great for the summer. They always have food trucks parked outside if you get hungry too. Only down side is they don't have many non beer options but not an issue for me! read more

Went here for the first time during GABF. We were excited to try the place. The beer was AMAZING. We ordered the Fresh Hopped Antidote and the Hold Steady. They both were delicious, although the Hold Steady (scotch ale) was not completely true to form. The bartender accidentally poured a King of Carrot Flowers and said it was ours on the house. This beer had just won a gold medal at GABF. I can see why! It was not a style I usually try, but so glad I did. It was to die for. Totally worth a visit! read more

You can throw a rock and hit a brewery in Denver.... but Ratio is a MUST visit now that we have been here! We came back twice in 3 days. Yes, it was that great. Super cute space indoor and out. Outdoor seating with misting units were CLUTCH on a super hot day. The staff was very kind and the beers were amazing. Stand outs were the Carrot Elderflower Sour and the Lemon Blonde. Just go. You're welcome. read more

Ratio Beerworks - Photobooth - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Stopped in for a beer when they were very busy, but since they have a good amount of space both indoor and outdoors that wasn't an issue. They also were slinging the beers very quickly so the wait wasn't too bad either. They were very heavy on IPAs so, if you aren't an IPA fan your options might be limited. They didn't have any sours that I saw, but did have a saison and a Kolsch, as well as a Pilsner. My only complaint was the volume of the music was unreasonably loud. It was loud to the point of having to yell at our own table of four just to converse. We asked them to turn it down but they didn't. Unfortunately it drove us out after one beer since we couldn't talk to each other. TL:DR - good beer, fair price, LOUD read more

Ratio Beerworks - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Decent brewery with plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor, with places to catch up w/ friends and share a few beers. Staff seemed a bit distracted and the service was a bit off for the standard brewery/bartender, but we eventually all got what we needed. Ambiance is standard distillery/brewery warehouse vibe. Maybe slightly hipster if that's your thing (or a deterrent). read more

Don't think we came on the best night. They were having a heavy metal band playing for a pre festival event. It was so loud that I couldn't even hear myself think let alone have a conversation with anyone. The beer was okay and the service was average. I have heard a lot of good things about this brewery, so I will try it again in my next visit to Denver but maybe has better vibes during the day. read more

I was impressed! Great service, nice seating, and the recommendation of the King Carrot saison was spot on. Sweet but not overly so, with some nice complexity. The interior is decorated cute too- recycled item chic. I would go again and recommend it. read more

So while in Rino on my own brewery tour I came across this place. I've always heard good things about them but just didn't have time to check them out. I was at 10 Barrels down the street and I was asking the lady bartender where should I go next. She said have you been to Ratio and I said no then she said they have some good beers. Ok so I walk into Ratio and the inside is spacious and they have a patio on the side of the building and a patio on the street too. I took a look at their menu and I was impressed they have some Imperial Stout at some high ABV which I love. I got a flight and was amazed with their beers because they were just so tasty. Out of all the breweries I went to on this trip I can honestly say Ratio has the best beers. If I come back to Denver I will for sure be drinking beer here again. If you have the opportunity to come here please do because it's a can't miss brewery!!! read more

What a great brewery! Part of the RiNo district within Denver. You're bound to find great food nearby from all the excellent food trucks. NY style pizza, Tibetan or Venezuelan and more.. Take your pick and enjoy it with a good Ratio brew! Their Golden Ale is a delicious light beer, but the dark scotch ale was tasty too. I managed to drop by during a comedy night, which was a treat! Inside there's plenty of room to chill, but there's even more space outside if the weather is comfortable. Worth a visit! read more

While doing some brewery hopping in the Denver area, my husband and I came to ratio beer works. It was quite a busy day so we ended up snagging a spot outside on the patio. They have a nice mix of both indoor and outdoor seating. There is also plenty of shade and they are dog friendly. I did a flight to try a nice variety of their lighter beers. All of them were very refreshing. My husband enjoyed some of their various IPAs. Definitely a nice spot to hang out and chat with friends. read more

With stiff competition on the same street, let alone the state of Colorado, Ratio still stands out from the pack. Fun people with high energy and huge amounts of passion for brewing great beer. *FREE COVID DELIVERY WITHIN A FOUR-MILE RADIUS* So here's the deal. According to maps, I technically live 4.5 miles away from Ratio. No harm, no foul. They still allowed me to purchase beer and didn't ask for a delivery fee. Score! Last night was my roommate's birthday and we had to celebrate. Ratio is one of our favorite breweries, and though we miss the courtyard, the cornhole and the atmosphere, we wanted to make the most of the current situation. Ratio canned two beers for the first time. Heart Tattoo Blackberry Belgian Wit and Rooftops Mexican Lager. The former is fantastic! It almost tastes like a boozier kombucha, tart with a gorgeous purple/deep red hue. The kicker was the contactless delivery from Hunter, a Ratio employee wearing a cowboy hat and a red bandana in the snow. What a bad ass! Remember, now more than ever, support the local businesses that make Denver awesome. Ratio is certainly one of them! read more

First time visiting Ratio Beerworks and gotta say the beer selection is great. I particularly liked Cityscapes their Mexican style lager. Super tasty and an ez drinker on a beautiful spring day. read more

Visited the brewery on a Sunday afternoon with a baby. Brewery had no diaper changing stations. When asked the bar tender, they told me I had to go to my car to change the baby. Left without any options, I had to change the baby on the table in the brewery. Not a sanitary solution. Very disappointing as there were at least 3 families with strollers at the same time as we were there. read more

Another fun Denver brewery that we have gotten beer from recently! We got four different beers from Ratio and we all enjoyed them a lot! Float On was one beer that we had. A Hefeweizen that had a good balance of flavor to it! Not too heavy handed with clove, banana or bubblegum flavors that I experience with type of beer... a little too often unfortunately. But again, no issue with one flavor dominating the whole beer which was a definite plus! New Wave was another beer we had, a Strawberry Sour Ale or Berliner Weisse beer as the description shows. And again this beer was handled very well in flavor. In the recent past I've found fruited beers to be a bit too sweet in the recent past and heavy in volume from other breweries. But not a problem here. This was a light beer and the Strawberry feature complimented the rest of the beer very nicely! A fun beer to drink! Cityscapes was a Mexican Lager we had too! I do love my Mexican Lagers and this one wasn't bad at all. But it wasn't my favorite out of the four. It wasn't the most "wow" inducing for me as far as Mexican Lagers go because I really like the ones with hints of lime or tequila. Roots Radical was the last out of the four of the beers we had. A Citrus Beet Saison this was a fun one as you don't come across beet very often when it comes to craft beer and it was very refreshing to have a saison again. Like the first two beers the flavors were balanced very well! And of course I wouldn't feel like I've had the complete brewery experience without delving into their merchandise. Succumbing to their awesome t shirts I had a result of two t shirts from the purchase! read more

We checked this place out on a Tuesday night to try out some beers. While some were good, a couple weren't that great so our experience was varied.

Tristan is truly an incredible human - this bar plays the best music. Phenomenal beer.

I've been to this brewery several times, both in the winter and summer. Whoops, totally forgot to write a review! It's a solid go-to spot for beer in Denver, right in the heart of RiNo. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Dog-friendly, too. You can either order at the bar or with a server. All their beer has been great in my experience. Not to much of a selection (and one time they ran out of IPAs) but I've expanded my taste buds beyond the hops because of Ratio Beerworks. Next time I'll have to drink at the bar and try a flight. Like many other Yelpers mentioned, the staff is great and super knowledgeable about the beer, so don't be afraid to ask for recommendations. Parking in RiNo can be challenging. You might have to walk a block or two (especially if roads are closed) but it's so worth it! read more

Ratio is one of my favorite spots in Rino to head for a beer. I love that they have not one but two huge outdoor patios that's are shaded and come with misters. The fact that dogs are allowed on the back patio is a huge plus too. Overall I'd say the beer here is decent they have some really good options especially if you're an IPA fan. However, they have a carrot saison called King of Carrot Flowers that is one of my favorite beers of all time. It is so unique I can't even try to explain it you just have to go try it for yourself. The bright orange color is a fun plus as well! Pro tip: there's often a food truck parked right outside if you're looking for something to eat as well. read more
