Having lived in Denver for a number of months now, it's surprising that I just got around to the Great Divide Tap Room.
The Tap Room is a long, skinny affair, resembling more a lower-east-side hole-in-the-wall than a Denver brewpub (although lacking any of the nuanced quaintness of such a Manhattan haunt). There is a nice patio out front, and the decor is generally pseudo-industrial in the tap room, and genuine industrial everywhere else.
Everything on tap was something I could find regularly in a bottle store. I understand that this is Great Divide, and I live in Denver, but I've become used to having a few brewery only tappers running at pretty much every brewery around these parts. That being said, you can get anything they have on tap for the most part, and they'll crack a bottle for you if they aren't tapping it at the moment. Did slightly better with the bottles (snagging a bunch of Old Ruffian 2009 bottles for the road).
Having said that, the staff was extremely helpful (in spite of the business), knowledgeable about beer (and also about great divide brewing schedules for 2010/2011), and pretty awesome to talk to.
Snagged a growler of Hoss on the way out, so much better fresh. All in all it was a good brewery trip, and great divide beer is hard to beat ... just come to expect a lot at breweries. I'm spoiled out here.

This is the actual brewery; it is a cozy and rustic place that offers a great selection (15 taps) of Great Divide crafts. The bar area is small, but comfortable. It is located just a few blocks north of downtown, and is worth the trip if in the area. There is a taproom in the RINO district as well. (See Review)

First stop on GABF trip 2018. Had a few beers on the patio then got chased indoors by the rain.
Convenient location and solid beer. Nothing earth shattering but worth a stop.

stopped by the original location for a few beers. Fairly small space, they have a bar and some standing room in the front, and a few high top tables in the back in view of the brew house. Lost of beers on the taplist, a mix of year rounds, limited beers, and one-offs. Bartenders were helpful. Some cool swag for sale as well.

Visited Sep 2017. The Base Camp food truck which was there that day (a Saturday) offered tasty, original fresh food. So crowded couldn't really taste much - also they charge $2 for tastes which always irks me - but all worth it to have Titan on tap! Fun place in the usual funky, fringe neighborhhod where breweries have to be.

Cozy tap room with a bit of a retro vibe, but it totally works. Solid beer options, but definitely focused on the flagship Yeti line and some IPAs, which I'm totally ok with. Fun free tour gives a nice look into how they do what they do.
