Big Thompson Brewery

 

Small brewery in industrial park. The small bar is toward the back of the building on the left, partitioned off the brew house, and seating about 10 with some tables along the perimeter and a small patio in the front. 14 beers on tap, I had the Wapiti IPA, and enjoyed it very much. Lively Saturday night crowd was lots of fun. Friendly bartender. Great place to hangout on the weekend, look forward to my next visit.

 

 

 

 

 

really neat spot here right in loveland, open just a few months now. surprised by the size of the brew house in here, lots of fermenters and conditioning tanks, must have been a decent sized capital investment to get it going. great space though too, open feel, cozy, room for probably no more than 40 or so patrons. long bar, tended by a nice mild mannered young lady who also apparently helps out in the brew house. super friendly and nice to chat with, happy to share a few tasters. i loved the nitro oatmeal stout, they have this recipe totally dialed in. it took awhile to pour, but the beer was worth the wait. nice chocolate notes in front of the bitter roast, really well made and nitrogenated perfectly. the ipa was a little less compelling, but still well done. they didnt have the most adventurous beer list, i think a pumpkin ale was the only thing out of the ordinary, but they had a pils on too, so they do some lagering. im sure their beers will get more inventive as they get settled in, but they are off to an awesome start. i had a great time here today, and will check back in with them when i get back up that way. go see for yourself!
