    This was a super cute little brewery was enough choices to make everyone happy! We did a beer flight and it was only $10 for 4! I pick 2 and my friend picked 2...mine were blue Hawaiian sour ale it was just how it sounds, to me the sour part was a bit much. My second one was juniper and lime and it was my favorite...it was not a strong heavy taste but a light beer to match its clear color!

    5 stars across the board for this brewery. This is their original location, so it is much much smaller then there newer location located not much further from it. My husband and I went on a Tuesday around noon, and there were only a few people in there at the time, the bartender was incredibly nice (I believe his name was Nate). He talked to us the whole time, letting us know some good places around boulder and Denver that we should see as we were traveling. What was also awesome is that you can do a flight of whatever how-many beers you would like to try, and they were a good size pour too! It was all ala-carte so you just pay per beer instead. I had their orange chocolate stout, the tea shandy and the grapefruit beer. Every single one of them was delicious, not a single one disappointed. The prices were extremely reasonable, and I will definitely be going back!

    BBQ food cart during our visit!

    Upslope gets added to my list of one of the best beers around. The brewery is in an unassuming storage warehouse row, there are vats and barrels in view from the tasting room, which is basically acts as a bar. There are restroom facilities, merchandise for sale, and self-serve drinking water station. They do not serve food but check their facebook page for a rotation of awesome pop-up food carts. To our luck, it was a BBQ food truck when we went - it was amazing (Meat Candies mmmmmmm!) - and deserves an review all on it's own. We tried the Imperial IPA (10% ABV) and Apple Cider Hybrid Ale (5%) for $13 with tip. The Imperial IPA is the smoothest and robust IPA we've ever had the pleasure of trying. So much so that we wanted to bring some home with us. Alas, they only have growlers and no crowlers (can growlers). They usually sell 6 packs of them but were out. In an unrelated sampling, we tried the limited release Thai Style White IPA (6.5%) with hints of ginger, lemongrass, and Thai basil. Such exotic flavor and definitely worth a taste if you are able to catch it in time.

    Empty flights ;)

    Very nice ambiance. Friendly staff and guest are also very "simpatico" the beer isn't bad either. I'm a dark beer drinker ... the porter was my fav. I did taste the brown which was too hoppy for me.. the flights appear to be 6 oz pours! What! Crazy talk! Definitely a recomend! XOXO

    This is my neighborhood brewery so I keep wanting to have a better experience, but every time I've been can be summed up like this: Great atmosphere; Decent (sometimes fantastic) beers; Inadequate (and/or poorly trained) service. Last night was my first time at Upslope in about 8 months or more. The taproom itself is spacious and fun - the energy is lively and having a lot of people in there doesn't feel crowded so much as bustling. The food is provided (in a not uncommon fashion) by food trucks parked outside, so depending on when you go you'll be able to get food to go with your drinks and the food trucks usually have some great stuff on the menu. The selection of beers is pretty big and it's VERY likely that you'll find one that will keep you happy and raving about Upslope for a while. The most important thing to note here is that they have all their beers including some limited edition brews you can't find outside of the tap room. So if you're a fan of Upslope beers you owe it to yourself to swing by here sometime and try a new brew. But the service. It's just so consistently disappointing. When we first moved here you couldn't get any table service whatsoever and they seemed perpetually understaffed. Last night we went there and there was a bartender and a server and things kept moving fairly quickly, which is why when she let us know that a big group just walked in (we were a group of 6) and she would have to suspend table service a for a while, I took the opportunity to say thanks. "Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for doing table service. I've been here a few times when you guys haven't done it and it's nice that you're doing it." At which point she interjected "Yeah you don't have to stand up and walk over to order." "Right. Well ... anyway, thank you." Later on I ordered another beer (I'd had several) and she replied "Well you guys have each had at least 4 so why don't I just get you a lager?" It's totally within an establishment's right to refuse service to a patron, especially when they think that person is inebriated. I've been through TIPS training so I would see cutting someone off as a responsible thing to do. But she didn't cut me off - instead she told me she'd get me a different beer than what I had ordered. In terms of service, that's just the wrong way to do it. If you think a patron has had too much to drink (and this is according to the training all servers have to take) you offer them water and food instead, not more alcohol. Of course like anything your expectations and preferences may be different, but my impression from Upslope over the last 4 years has been that they don't have enough staff and those they have need better training. Finally a reminder, this is a review of this Upslope location, not the beer. If you're in love with Upslope or trying out a few breweries around Boulder then you certainly shouldn't miss this place - you just might need to temper your expectations in terms of experience.

    No 2pm tour Mondays at this location...might want to call in advance since their website was confusing on that point. We decided to stay anyways and got a 6-beer samplers for $15.50. Christmas ale, pumpkin ale, wild saison, wild Christmas, orange stout, cherry stout The wild saison was one of our favorites - great carbonation, white head, and tart finish. The pumpkin ale was very good also. Overall all the brews were enjoyable. The place was very lowkey on a Monday afternoon. Loved the brewhouse border collie - a very friendly pup that added to the relaxed atmosphere. We'd come back for the beer.

    Super cool vibe with very friendly employees and cutting edge brews. What's not to like?? My friend and I had a great time visiting Upslope. The Jalapeño lager was world class. Check out our experience https://youtu.be/vEBpO1VPAjc

    Tasty and delicious! I love their beer from a can, but it's even better from the tap. I love Brown Ales and the Upslope Brown Ale was great. Super easy to drink and delicious. Small food selection until the food trucks roll up. Not a huge space, but comfortable for any size party. Plenty of parking as well.Keep it Upslope!

From game days (televised or board/card) to happy hour catch ups I love coming here for the laid back and family friendly vibes. I've enjoyed having my birthday party here for the last handful of years (they have amazing event space). As it's family friendly my crew always feels happy to bring their well behaved little one along. While my friends are sure to bring activities for their kiddos (books, toys, educational iPad devices) some folks aren't as considerate. I've definitely had the unfortunate experience of kids running amuck while their parents are fully attentive only to their brewskis. This was particularly disturbing as I've been recovering from a knee injury for several months and my partner has often been with me and on crutches. Would love to see people take more responsibility for their children's behavior when taking them out in public for everyone's safety. While it's Boulder afterall I hold hope that parents will look after their kids if they decide to bring them in or drop them to the nearby kiddos climbing facility if they wanna play. Looking forward to many more good times with friends at this awesome locally owned gem.

We started with a flight and ranked them in this order: * Holy Craic Irish Red Ale (#2 for my wife) * Golden Boy Kolsch (#1 for my wife) * Steel Cut Stout * Twisted Amber (neither liked) * Dublin Magic Irish Stout (neither liked) After the flight, we both enjoyed two of the beers we enjoyed the most. For food, we each got a side Caesar salad. Large and with lots of flavor, they were very good. We each then got the Mediterranean pizza. I added chicken to mine. My wife liked hers, while I was disappointed in mine. I didn't find the flavor to be great, and the crust was rather flimsy and disappointing. Pizza here on our first visit had been great, so again, this was disappointing. Service was friendly enough. I'm sure we'll be back again.

Nothing has changed whatsoever. From the funky mural on the garage door to the sticker-lined walls of the cooler to the remote location on the less popular side of Boulder, Vision Quest is proof that us beer lovers still long for breweries of this nature. See Andrew H's recent review for his spot-on analysis! The beer selection rocks. Pales, porters, IPA's, lagers, sours, stouts, and ambers. Quality over quantity, while still maintaining a variety of flavors. I was in a pale/IPA mood last Friday, and the Hoosier Head and Boombox were quite tasty. Only a few seats at the bar, but plenty of seating indoors. If the weather is nice, you'll find everyone sitting outside staring at the mountains. They host community events, vinyl nights, have a bunch of board games, etc. These are the breweries of yesteryear. The one that skyrocketed the craft beer movement. They are a dime a dozen these days. Vision Quest is one of them, and you can still find that magic here.

Crazy that chill college breweries like this still exist! Especially in a town with basic-ass hotels for $700/night.

One of our favorite things during the pandemic when restaurants could reopen was picking up their in house chicken pot pie. It's my husband's absolute favorite chicken recipe which I used to make myself. Though I am unable to make it now that l have lost a lot of vision and not a single one we have bought elsewhere was sufficient until we ordered from The Post Boulder. After a short time it became too labor intensive for the Post to make in house back then with limited staff so they contracted with a pie facility in Denver.

And yes -- there's a gluten-free fried chicken option that somehow tastes just as good. A plot twist I didn't see coming. The collard greens had that smoky-sweet-Sunday vibe, and once the house hot sauce entered the chat? Full gospel choir moment. And William at the bar? Welcoming, honest, and actually tells you what's good -- not "everything is amazing" menu-script energy. The man can be trusted.
