Denver Breweries - Bachelor Party

You're a shitty friend and you should take your friend to titty bars not breweries.

 

In my experience, you have a couple good brewery crawl options. The downtown denver area has the bigger named ones in Epic and Great Divide, but just down the road from Epic is a little Gem called Black Shirt Brewing. One of my favorites - A small tap room and most of their beers are based around a red/blood orange flavoring, but many varieties. You can of course head up to Fort Collins for their breweries or into boulder. If you make it to boulder, make sure to get to UpSlope Brewing, another place I wasn't aware of when I last visited and had an amazing taproom with a huge selection. I'm sure there are far more options, but I'll leave the locals to those. Cheers!

 

I would start off by driving to River North, then come back to downtown and hit Ratio. Now park your car. Hit up Mockery, Great Divide, Crooked Stave, and finally Epic. See if you can make it back to your hotel ...

Alternatively, a Southern Route would include Comrade, Cerebral, and TRVE before parking and doing the downtown circuit. Really, you can't go wrong.

Or an extreme North/west circuit- start off at Odd13 and than hit 4 noses... then go downtown.

Or hit up Station 26 first...

What kinds of beer do you like?

 

I'd second the River North route.

I'd also second a good majority of any of the breweries in the area

@Dan_K asks a good question about what kinds of beers you like. I'd also ask: what sort of vibe are you looking for, being that it's a bachelor party? More of a bar / taphouse scene, or breweries themselves? I'd assume the latter based on the original question?

 

Look into some brew buses. Makes it easy, they typically hit some good ones. Plus, no annoyance of having to call an uber every hour after you've tasted the highlights.

Plus... 10 guys... it's your own brew bus at that point.

Take the party to PT's at 8315 E. Colfax

 

Classy...

 

The finest Denver has to offer

 

This, or just rent a private party bus for the night to take you to all the breweries.

They are a few blocks away from each other, but it's fun to drive around a bit and have a driver, also would help get from Great Divide/Mockery/Crooked Stave over to the other side of the tracks to Epic/Ratio/Finn's Manor/Black Shirt/Our Mutual Friend/Bierstadt - eat at Park Burger and/or Rackhouse, skip Blue Moon & 10 Barrel

 

Like the RiNo suggestions. One edit would be to hit Ratio Beerworks instead of Mockery (based on my opinion of beer quality). If it is more of an IPA crowd, Falling Rock Tap House is a good option for Pliny, Comrade SuperPower, and Station 26 Juicy Banger (typically have all 3 on draft). It's not that far from RiNo (Uber if too cold to walk). First Draft is another place to try a bunch of good, mostly CO beer.

 

We see it quite a bit, but honestly- its old news with the likes of Station 26, Comrade, Cannonball Creek, and so many others.

if you like hoppy beers like it seems, you guys are in for a treat!

 

Be careful, once you see our secrets you'll want to move...

 

There's no more room here, and you know it!

 

Depending on when you're here, you could potentially encounter Pliny the Younger, too. That typically arrives mid to late February.
