It doesn't get much more metal than this kids. If dark, fantasy, Satanic imagery makes you more uncomfortable than wars in the Middle East, this place probably isn't for you. For the rest of us: wow. Such great ambiance! Love the black and white photography and the Satanic altar...that also happens to pour delicious beer! The beers here are all over the place (in a good way), but tend to focus on funk and sour styles. There is probably something for everyone. Metal (which style, I'm not sure, I'm not an expert) blasts over the speakers adding a one-of-a-kind ambiance for a brewery. Despite the evil imagery, the bartender was a kind and friendly fellow. This would be one of my places if I lived in Denver. read more

My husband has wanted to come here for years, and once we finally made it, it did not disappoint. The beers are delicious. The scene is fantastic. No one cared if you were wearing a black t-shirt or a hot pink. One note: if you want to hear the music (playing metal, duh), you need to sit back by the bar area. You can't hear it hardly at all towards the front. Anyway, loved the place and would definitely come back. read more

Sick spot. Different atmosphere than most which makes it unique & fun. Great beer & chicken.

Not a huge fan of the music (I prefer hair metal [ironic, I know, for a very bald man]) however the beer is incredible. Five stars for this guy. Try the chicken fongers! -Handsome Chirs Brell read more

When my friend first asked me if I wanted to go to a metal bar, I figured he meant some dingy dive. Nope. This place is super classy and clean. It's metal in the sense that it's got a satanic vibe and they play metal music. There's dark art on the walls, pentagrams, etc. Some of the art is for sale, btw. All the beers have badass/dark names. Nothing too egregious here (unless you find metal/satanism offensive). The beer was really great. I tried both Suffering Soul (Sour) and Six Three Times (IPA) and they were both fantastic. Friendly service. Ample seating space. read more

5 stars for lighting this b*tch up. Spicy and delicious. Put this in your mouth and become a phoenix rising from the ashes. Then burn the town down. God send. read more

TRVE Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Do you like metal? Mixed culture beers? Staring bleakly into the existential abyss? Fun times with friends? Demonology? Cool swag? Well do I have a brewery for you. TRVE hits all these highlights and many more. Their beer is some of the best beers in the state, possibly the whole darn country. It's that good. They're always experimenting and doing something fun and different. Lots of other breweries like doing collabs with TRVE, so that's saying something. Purchasing their beer in a store and drinking it in the comfort of your Disney-themed jammie pants while watching The Great British Baking Show (what? don't judge me), is a fine way to enjoy a TRVE beverage. However, if you want to kick it up a notch and be truly METAL, go to the brewery. Warning - it can get loud and the decor veers towards "every day is Halloween". I've brought my young child during the day, and it's not scary or anything. However, I wouldn't classify it as the most kid-friendly brewery. Street parking only. read more

TRVE Brewing - SLAYER! - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

If it wasn't enough that they brew stellar beer and serve it in a killer metal atmosphere, now they have incredible hot chicken in-house

I go to TRVE mainly because I live in the neighborhood and I'm also into the metal scene, so my friends like going here and i tag along without complaint. Generally great music if you're a metalhead, however that's where the positives stop. Their beer is pretty mediocre for the most part, I cannot think of one they do that stands out as great. Service is typically decent, but not great. I haven't experience the same rudeness others talk about. They do employ some unprofessional types, like the same dude who works at HQ down the street and wears an ACAB hat. It's one thing to employ people who believe or like to be edgy and wear this stuff on their off time, it's another when the owners allow their employees to wear these socio-political items while working. It gives me the same distasteful vibe as if they were wearing MAGA hats or Proud Boy paraphernalia. Better beer to be had at Novel Strand or Cerebral brewing, albeit without the metal vibe. read more

Enjoyed the Hell out of this place. Love the theme and you don't have to be a goth metal head to enjoy a beer at the bar. Plenty of seating in the back near the fermenters and in the front at big tables. Quite a selection of normal styles (pales/IPAs) and they also have sours. Behind the bar they sell cans and will make a Crowler for you from what I saw. Pee project: Private bathrooms! No more praying that no one else walks in. Pee shy party approved! read more

Went to this place off of a recommendation but definitely would not extend that recommendation. The beer was fine but the concept was misplaced and strange. The photos on the wall were something out of an old haunting type of book and the music and other stuff was a different kind of vibe. The bartender was rude and it was dark in here too. read more

Great beer. Awesome location and decor. Metal Brewery... what more can you ask for?! Long wooden tables make you feel like you're in an old medieval pub. Can't really say how much I love this place. Only thing that can make this place better is some amazing BBQ! And maybe a rooftop patio. read more

The beers are okay, definitely another jack of all trades master of none brewery. As someone who really enjoys metal I was disappointed that I could barely hear the music playing. If you're looking for a metal brewery in the area I'd recommend going about a mile away to Black Sky. read more

Metal and beer! Is there anything better!? Love it here and will be coming back every chance we get!!

MWAAAAAAAAAAAAA! GRAWWWWWWW! *cue heavy metal guitar solo* Do you praise satan? Maybe been curious about satan? Does your vocabulary consist of "sick," "shred," "amped" and a variety of guttural noises? Is black your primary wardrobe color? Maybe you're just curious and need a pint? This is your spot! Trve (pronounced "True") is a heavy metal themed brewery off of South Broadway. You'll enter to dimmed lights, scream-o playing on the speaker, guitar rifts galore, gargoyles, skeletons, and satan/antichrist symbols adorning the walls. Imagine the lead singer of your favorite '90 rock band... that is the bartender! Now, to the beer! Trve specializes in "mixed culture beers" and sours using wild yeast. Its a very intriguing style and ideology to specialize in. Their mixed culture beers are amazing! But if you aren't feeling adventurous, they have your casual pilsner through stout on tap to suit ever pallet. Absolutely a must visit for beer fans! read more

This place has been on my radar for a while but for some reason or another I never seem to make it in. A glorious October Friday night the stars aligned and I stopped in to see what all the fuss was about. A few words come to mind when I think about this place ... Dark, Unique and Delicious. Dark because of the metal theme, unique because of the variety of beers and delicious because ... well they all tasted so good. So the beer ... The Black Cascade. It's an American black ale that tastes a lot lighter than it looks. It looks like a stout but drinks like ale, one hell of a magic trick if you ask me. The Prehistoric Dog. This is like nothing I've ever tasted before ... Start with a wheat beer and add Hawaiian black lava salt and coriander and out comes the Prehistoric Dog. A tad bit salty but all the way unique and tasty. Hollow Idol. It's a pretty typical Indian white ale with a hint of fruit. Good combination of hoppy and sweet. Bottom line with this place is their beer is good and I will be coming back again and again to see what other things they come up with. read more

TRVE Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Nice little brewery on South Broadway. The beers are a little hit-or-miss for me. But, I like to do a sampler of the latest and there is usually at least one I really like. Everyone that works here is super friendly and the place is rarely crowded. I love the big community table, but the seats are a bit akward (built for two butts, but if one person gets up, the other falls over). They do not do regular growlers here, and you can't even get their modified growlers unless you are in their growler club, which is sold out. Lame. Parking is definitley a challenge here, so be prepared to circle a few times. There is always some interesting metal music playing and a super fun sign in the bathroom about employees carving slayer into their wrists. read more

We've been trying to go here all summer but they keep cutting back their hours because they keep running out of beer. Bummer problem to have, right? We finally made it a point to stop in and get our growler filled (I'm a member of the TRVE CVLT....yes, I know you're impressed) and even killed time at Argonaut buying too much beer since they don't open until 4 on Saturdays and we weren't feeling the go back home and head back down south thing.. The interior aesthetic is great with some cool, creepy abandoned house photographs on the wall and a big Nordic style communal table down the middle. The space is long and cavernous and they play nothing but metal...I like that the overall situation keeps the douchey riff-raff out. We tried all three beers on tap and all three were solid. The Tunnel of Trees (IPA) was my least favorite (for an IPA) but the Black IPA (almost stoutlike) and Wanderlust (belgian pale) were both delicious. We ended up getting our growler filled with Wanderlust because they had the most of it and the Black IPA was a tad too heavy for summer (but not too heavy for this place). Staff and brewer/owner Nick are actually very approachable and friendly considering this is a metal brewery....not that you may have had any preconceived notions of what a metal brewery might be like in terms of service, but Nick is great and eager to share his beer love with you. read more

Metal up your a*s!!! TRVE has chosen a theme and sticks with it. As a metal fan, I loved it. The person I was with was not as appreciative or this unique find (she also didn't like Chicago's Kumas). Narrow place with standing wall anchored tables to the right and fancy picnic tables to the left. Walk over a cement floor to the bar that sits on the right about halfway into the place. Wooden bar top with round metal stools with no back and no foot rest. But it's really about the beer and the music and both kill. read more

What a cool place! Love their theme and the diverse clientele. Some tables to stand at, bar seating and a long, family style table to choose from. Great beer that is named and described with the gothic theme. Good swag too! read more

Cozy brewery with a ton of personality and seating: arguably the best sours I've had in Denver so far. We had a variety of the mixed culture beers - all super well-balanced sours that I'm already itching to have again. Sour, but not in lip-smackingly, make-a-Blue-Steel-face kind of way. Favorite was a coffee-flavored amber ale... regrettably unable to remember the name but counting down the days until I get a chance to head back and find out. read more

Crazy stop! Great beers. I haven't had a bad beer here, ever. It's really a tasty stop, but... it's metal. So if you don't like loud metal music, come early! It's All about metal music, devil vibe, etc. Don't judge, accept read more

TRVE came highly recommended from one of 2018 GABF's award winning brewers. I was really excited to try out their beer, but never got to. The bartenders never even acknowledge me.... Ok I get it, you've got an image you're trying to keep and me showering before I come in must really ruin that. Going out of your way to give people a bad experience must make you super excited. Great for edge lords who live in their grandparents basement and hate their mom and dad. Must own at least 3 types of ninja weapons to be served. read more

I didn't read much into this place prior to coming here. At the time, I was looking for a brewery in Denver with some good beer. I was surprised when I entered to find how goth this place was! I have nothing against it and personally, I thought it was neat and different. However, I was more worried about the company I was with since it might not have been their style. I really liked how this place seems to have quite a lot of saisons, one of my favorites! I asked the bartender for a recommendation, however I think he gave me a non-saison style beer. It was pretty good, but not what I wanted. Fortunately, a friend traded with me who didn't like his saison anyways so it worked out. Overall, not too busy here which is great. I like having my space to drink to just converse with my friends when it comes to brewery vibes. The atmosphere is definitely dark and goth if you're into that. Very low-key. read more

Trve is so amazing, it's required to visit when in Denver. The taproom decor, lighting, tables, music, and artwork is perfect for a low key brewery night. The beers are incredible. There is a clean board (non-sour) and a sour board. I love doing a South Broadway sour tour with Baere, Trve, and Black Project. The staff is my favorite. Good people that love beer and are always welcoming to the people that come in. read more

I like the themed concept of this bar but the bottom line it is really just a gimmick to pull people in and to differentiate it from other breweries. The fact is that it works. It pulls people into the bar to try their beers. They have metal playing all the time, it's dark and appropriately decorated, and the bartenders fit the mold very well although they're nice not intimating like you might think. Unfortunately, the beers come up a bit short for me. As much as I like the idea of the place, the beer need to get up-to-par to keep me coming back. I found the salty beer as one of my favorites but anyone who isn't into salt probably won't like it. I tried a handful of others and none of them really jumped out at me. I felt most just lacked the flavor I was looking for (a bit watery, if you will). I would definitely tell people to try this place out as beer is subjective. At the very worst case, you will have a good atmosphere with good company. read more

Awesome place to check out! The decor was super neat, and the music was great. They have a nice range of beers to meet all sorts of palates. It's fun to just look at all the neat decorations. It is pretty loud for a conversation, but the music is pretty sweet, so you can just bask in the vibrations. read more

Metal/goth themed brewery with solid beers and lots of seating. Pros -Good variety of beers (IPAs, Porters, Mixed Culture etc.) -Good selection of beer to go -Favorite Beers - Decreation, Astral Savior -Great metal/rock vibe to it, but I wouldn't say this is a great sit down and have a long conversation spot. Cons -No food -Not dog friendly -No TVs (not that I expect that, but worth mentioning if you are trying to watch a game) -Street Parking Overall, a solid brewery and I feel like their beer is better than a lot of breweries in the area, but for me, I wish their environment was a bit better. read more

This was the brewery I was most excited to try while in Denver. It was sort of a let down. The good: the staff was friendly, the decor was funny and the music was good. The bad: all their beer tasted the same. My flight had a Hefeweizen to an IPA and there wasn't much variation. Do for the vibe, not the beer. read more

Truly a place for the trve kvlt. This place has no gimmicks (Something I highly appreciate).

This is my place to go every time I visit Denver read more

I wanted to love this place and I really did enjoy their beers but the whole death metal theme was way too hard for me. I appreciate them doing things the way they love it but it wasn't for me. I'll look for their beers at fests or on tap at other places but probably won't ever return. read more

Beer. Heavy metal. Denver. My expectations were drastically exceeded. The beer was delicious, the vibe was right, and the people were great. I really like that TRVE have an affinity for not adhering to the confines of styles and carving their own path. I appreciate your commitment to promoting everything local and Denver, also. TRVE definitely has a sense of place and belonging, and I can tell that's how you want the people who walk through your doors to feel, too. read more

This is one of the most metal places I've ever been to, which I mean as the highest compliment. I'm a huge fan of metal-themed beers but THIS is a metal brewery (since the head brewmaster - I think - is the drummer for Khemmis). There's cool artwork on the walls and plenty of great things for sale, I bought two t-shirts and a pentagram glass to take home. As for the beer, I had a four-beer flight and three of them (Cursed, Cold and Stout O)))) were fantastic - the Dubbel wasn't that good by man they can't all be pearls. I don't even like stouts but whoa the Stout O))) is a total winner. The place was packed and I can't wait to go back and have some more beer there. Go there and treat it like a pilgrimmage if you're a metalhead! read more
