Colorado Tips:

Be aware of the altitude! It's real! Stay hydrated and take things slow to avoid feeling sick, especially when you first arrive

Cerebral Brewing: Quite possibly my favorite stop—Cerebral has a killer tap list with juicy IPAs, thicc Stouts, and great vibes!
Voodoo Donuts: Creative and crazy donuts that are incredibly delicious!
The River North (RiNo) neighborhood is full of art and breweries, what more do you need?
- Bierstadt Lagerhaus: This is the Mecca of Lager beers. Get a Slow Pour Pils and Giant Ass Pretzel and don’t look back
- Our Mutual Friend Brewing: Lots of fantastic IPAs in particular. They also have rotating food trucks and an outside patio
- Ratio Beerworks: Fantastic outdoor space with cornhole and a patio. They have a wide variety of beers and it’s an overall fun & funky spot
- Odell Brewing: Another solid option in the RiNo neighborhood with a variety of beers
- Central Market is a great food hall in the heart of the RiNo neighborhood

TRVE Brewing Co.: A dark taproom filled with metal music specializing in Sour and Farmhouse Ales.
District Denver: A fantastic spot for brunch with $15 mix and match bottomless drinks, delicious food, and a cute patio.
Crooked Stave: Their Denver taproom is small but they still have a variety of beers to choose from and a huge bottle selection.
Denver Biscuit Company: A phenomenal, albeit touristy, spot for breakfast! The biscuits are massive, flaky, soft, and amazing.
Red Rocks Park & Amphitheater: The amphitheater is touristy but worth checking out! They do concerts, yoga, and numerous activities in this space.
- I would definitely recommend hiking in the park! We did a 4.3 mile trail that had diverse landscape and wasn’t too challenging.
New Image Brewing: In the suburb of Arvada, New Image has a small food menu, outdoor patio, and great IPAs!
Onefold: Fancy breakfast burritos for the win! They’ve also got super delicious coffee at this little cafe.
Burns Family Artisan Ales: A quaint brewery with big beers and homey vibes. This is not your standard brewery, they have super unique beers!

Illegal Pete’s: A great spot for burritos, nachos, and tacos!
Check out the giant blue bear at the Convention Center!
Check out a bottle shop! Argonaut Wine & Liquor and Baker Wine & Spirits are two great options.
Spangalang Brewery: A microbrewery in the Five Points neighborhood with yummy beers and a patio.
- Famous Original J’s Pizza is right around the corner as well!
Epic Brewing: 25 taps! Food trucks!
Larimer Square: A little bit more of a 'fancy' area, the lights at night make it a beautiful place to grab dinner or a drink!
Wynkoop Brewing: More of a brewpub, Wynkoop is a hot spot for lunch during the work week, being located right downtown.
Great Divide Brewing: There is a lot of hype around this brewery but I wasn't super impressed. The staff was straight up rude and the beer was just alright. There are plenty of other places you should visit before here!

Frisco is just over an hour from Denver and definitely worth an adventure to!

Hike! The Frisco area is absolutely gorgeous. We did a moderate 3.4 mile hike to a small lake that was right near downtown and had amazing views!
Outer Range Brewing Co.: An absolutely amazing brewery with killer IPAs. The brewery has amazing mountain views from the taproom as well. There’s also a coffee shop and a “Thai-ish” fried chicken restaurant in the building.
Cabin Creek Brewing: Located in Georgetown, Cabin Creek is the perfect stop on your way back to Denver. It is right off of I-70 making it super convenient! Cabin Creek has a full food menu with delicious pizzas and is located right on the lake surrounded by mountains!

Boulder is only about 30 minutes outside of Denver and well worth a visit!

Boulder is definitely a college town so be aware of football games and other big events that could hinder your transportation/plans

Avery Brewing: Great beers in a large facility. An extensive tap list.
Mountain Sun Brewing: They have a cute little outdoor space and delicious food!
West Flanders Brewing: Super friendly bartenders, lively atmosphere right off the main strip of town
Boulder Beer Co.: They closed their taproom, but look for their beers on tap around town. The Nitro Chocolate Porter is delicious!
