Even though this is a small spot, it's worth a stop. The bartenders are so friendly. They have some awesome smoothie beers to try. The frozen beer stole the show for me. It was the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. The only let down, after seeing multiple photos of the beer soft serve served in cones, they stated they don't actually do that and it's just for marketing purposes?
I have mixed experience at Wiley Roots. I arrived on a Tuesday and really enjoyed the character of the establishment. I'm a barrel aged stout fanatic, so hearing they had several was great. I tried two of the three ba stouts they offered. They were good. I ended up purchasing 12 cans at $21 each. That's where the experience turned. After a few days in my fridge, I opened the first and it was terrible. The adjunct had separated and the flavors were not good. On pouring the last 1/3 of the can it was very sludgy and it was clear the cans offered at the brewery were likely stored in ideal conditions while the cans offered to go not so much. I tried to mix the cans up by placing the upside down and gently mixing them but these are just not good. The sludge at the bottom is just not going to mix. I messaged Wiley Roots via email, while I didn't expect a refund, or any compensation, I did expect a response, which I got none. I'd recommend beer in the brewery but buyer beware on taking adjunct BA Stouts to go. I've bought hundreds of cans and bottles across the US and I can say this is my worst experience. I will likely not go back.
We walked over from our hotel to experience Wiley Roots. They earned every star! We sat inside because it was cold out but the patio looks like a great time when it's warmer. We were greeted and helped upon entry. We sat at the bar and took some time to get through the pages of beer that are offered in 16 oz cans or on draft. From spurs to stouts and porters there were so many to choose from. The county fair series was amazing and as a Gemini I had to try the Zodiac: Gemini sour which was tart but not overwhelming. We tried two stouts both peanut buttery and delicious. We decided to grab a bite since St. Tony's pizza operations from the location. The pizza was impressively good and they accommodated our request for half pepperoni and half margarita. The train tracks back up to their facility so there are select beers (marked on the menu) that when the train goes by if you order them you get a discount on them. Of course the train when by so I had to order the Beer flavor beer. A nice light and refreshing beer.
This brewery does things a bit differently than your typical. Firstly, they didn't have much on tap. Instead, they encourage you to order their cans and bottles and consume them directly on-site. In that light, DO come with others especially if you're main goal is to sample a few beers. They certainly possess an IPA and a stout or two, but they are otherwise known for their smoothie sours. I imagine these would screw with their lines, hence the lack of any of that particular style on draft. They do have "regular" sours which they categorize as "slush". We ordered 4oz tasters of their three hazy IPA's on draft, and opted to share a single 16oz can of one of their smoothie sours. Can't say I enjoy the smoothie style, in general, so their Super Fruit Lady: Triple Strawberry was only mildly interesting. The thick smoothie texture isn't really my jam when drinking beer. If I were being forthright, I would not even consider the smoothie style a beer. In any case, the flavors were as true as can be. A common issue with strawberry is that is often tastes like band-aid and that certainly wasn't the case here. As for their IPA's, they pretty much all tasted the same, but perhaps that was because we had just come from Weldwerks up the street. Nothing to complain about in the end though.
Had one of their beers at a restaurant a while ago and got the opportunity to visit the brewery in person and had an amazing experience. We were there on trivia night and ended up winning second place and received a discount on our tab. I only like Porters and Stouts and am often disappointed by the lack of flavor in beers I try. But not here! OMG they had at least six good looking beers and I tried five and loved them all. We even bought two 4packs to go. They are without doubt my favorite domestic brewery. Oh and the staff was amazing.
First stop off the plane we hit up Wiley Roots not that far of a drive from Denver airport. Their sour program is exceptionally good slightly different from the really heavily fruited sours. Some are wine like while others take on a life of their own but one things for sure you will want to attempt to try them all !
Perfect haven for the sour lovers out there! We stopped here for their infamous boozy ice cream as an afternoon treat and it was well worth it. Their blackberry pomegranate ice cream was bomb and a perfect compliment after lunch. I also tried their Meyer lemon meringue sour and a few oz was just enough for me (Love lemon but not a huge sour beer person). They have a delightful patio space to ensure social distancing measures are kept in tact. My only complaint is that it's an industrial park and it gets LOUD. We finished up pretty quickly since it was difficult to hear each other let alone think. Pup friendly too :)
If you like sour beers, you have to visit Wiley Roots! We live in Denver and had been wanting to go ever since they came up on social media and I saw their unique beers! So this weekend we drove up to Greeley and it was totally worth it! Not only do they have awesome beers, but they offer soft serve boozy ice cream and slushies. They offer a vast menu and have ample seating both inside and the outdoor space. My only recommendation would be to offer more of the awesome beers to-go! There were a few beers that we absolutely loved but they weren't available in cans or bottles so we had to settle for just having them at the brewery. If you go, make sure to try the barrel aged sour called Family Tradition. Easily one of the best sour beers I've had (and I consider myself a sour beer connoisseur lol).
I enjoy their beers a lot and the atmosphere and beertenders are nice. The last few times I've been here though- I've looked at the canned beers they've given to us and they have really old "canned" dates... not sure if this is right or not but a little unsettling I guess... the pickle slush beer given for my michelada was either canned in 2016 or maybe 2018 . I haven't heard of beer being given past 6 months from canned date at a brewery...
Went here on a Saturday afternoon. First time here. Very friendly bartender. Her name was Rachel. We order the double ipa, pomegranate gose, cinnamonstah, maple imperial somethin, something came for you in the mail. The Porters and Stouts were delicious but really sweet. I did tasters. I don't think I could do a full pour. But very good. Lots of flavor. The ipa was very good. After going to a place where all they serve is hazy IPAs it's great to have an American ipa! The gose has some good flavor. Lots of tables and room. Looked like a big patio and would be great in the summer. It looks like they are making great stuff with such a small system. Will be back. Cheers!
Came here on a Sunday afternoon and found parking easily. The outdoor patio was very nice and large. The indoor bar was a little smaller than I expected, but nice. I also fully expected there to be more beer on tap. It seems most of their beer is out of a can and they pour it for you at the bar. I like to get a splash of a couple before deciding on a pint, which you can't do if it's in a can. The beer was decent and the service was very good. To be fair I only tried a couple, but the 1320 double IPA I ordered was very subdued in hops flavor and that was a little disappointing. My wife enjoyed the sour IPA. One cool thing they have is a "train beer" which is their Nearly Dry lager beer for $2 when the train goes by. I did that too and that beer was pretty good, at 3.5%. Fun day and I'd come back to try a few more. Hope to see more on tap next time as it gets warmer.
A hidden gem. Good beer and atmosphere. Wish this wouldn't have been our last stop and being full from other breweries. Will definitely be back and make them first on our list.
Our first time here, a little bit of a mixed reaction. First, we were there mid afternoon, and the sun was beating down on the front entrance, which happens to be where you're standing in line waiting at the bar. Even though they weren't that busy, we still waited a long time to get served. We were definitely ready to get out of the sun. My daughter tried a few different things before she ended up with the pumpkin spice county fair cobbler sour. I got a flight of five different beers, ranking them as close as I can remember: 1. Out of office lager 2. Beer flavored beer 3. Leafer lager 4. Chela Noches lager 5. Barrel-aged undead Honestly, all five were fine, but 1-3 were my favorites. We sat for awhile and played with the resident black cat, Midnight, as well. I could see stopping back by on a future visit to Greeley. read more
This is the best beer bar to go to. One they have the CUTEST black cat that just walks around or comes up to you on the bar and lets you pet and love up on, two they have really good beers three amazing service four a really good atmosphere that is just really down to earth and inviting and five they have the dopest music it's old school and that's my kind of beer bar to go too. There is inside and outside seating. I also ordered a pizza from their pizza food truck, note* it is not always there so check their website to see what days they have food because it's not an everyday thing. Also if you do stop don't forget to buy your black cat sticker that is literally of the black cat in that bar. I think his name is Wiley. read more
This is a fantastic brewery with legitimately something for everyone! This place has great indoor and outdoor spaces. Plenty of room for groups. We bellied up to the bar. The beer list is overwhelming. They have styles all over the board and lots of options for non-beer lovers. I really enjoyed the big, dark, sweet stouts and the refreshing, summer sours. The beertenders are really knowledgeable and will help you pick out the perfect beverage. If you haven't been here before, ask your beertender about the cat who lives at the bar. :) read more

Fun place for Friday nights with friends. If you like sour/ saison beers this could be a great place for you. Cool, hip setting with bass filled music. The IPA Citradiculous is decent, but not at the thirst quenching level of other Colorado IPAs. As a red beer IPA beer person, I am a little saddened by the lack of those beers in Greeley Right now they have several peach beers ( in the sour category) so head in over if that suits your style. Great staff. They even card us old folks. Haha! read more

This is one of the most under rated breweries in Northern Colorado. Everyone flocks to Greeley to follow the crowd and stock up on lactose IPA's and pastry desert beers; meanwhile these guys quietly do there thing just down the street. Great Sours, Porters, Stouts, etc. Their medal winning Saison and "Something came in the mail" are two of the best beers in town with rotating variations to keep it interesting. They know how to make true to style beers that are complex and can't be faked. There space is nice , especially if you are a fan of laid back and no frills. Staff is always great and very attentive. They are not full of themselves and have a great sense of humor. Don't make a craft beer trip to Greeley without stopping here. read more
