We will be in Boulder this weekend, no vehicle, so would appreciate any advice for breweries, tap houses, restaurants (with notable craft options) within a decent walk of Folsom field. Would be willing to Uber/Lyft as needed. Cheers!
Backcountry Pizza probably has the best beer selection in town. The food's pretty good, too. The OB location on the Pearl St. Mall has a great selection and I'm pretty sure they're even selling some extra CC Catador bottles. As far as breweries go, Avery, Mountain Sun (any of them), Upslope, Fate, Sanitas, and Cellar West are highlights. Boulder is kinda spread out, but it isn't that big. You'll need to Uber and Lyft a little, but the rides won't be that expensive.
Twisted Pine is an often forgotten, but a great spot in my opinion. Solid beers, decent good, good ambiance.
Agreed! Avery alone is a great place to spend a few hours, but you can make a pretty good trip adding any and all of Finkel & Garf, Bootstrap, Oskar Blues, Wibby and Left Hand. A lot of ground to cover in a Uber though.
Backcountry Pizza definitely has the best tap selection in town and it's an easy walk to/from Folsom field. As stated above Lyft will probably be necessary for most of the breweries.
Really appreciate all the posts and input. I have heard about the hospitality and wonderful compassion of the people of boulder and find this true doubly so when it comes to the beer aficionados of Boulder, CO. I wish I could bring some tasty liquids from the region and share brew with my fellow BAs, but I'm sure you understand the limits of today's air travel. I hope to see some during our trip and will gladly buy a brew and partake in conversation and fellowship. Thanks to all. Cheers!
Great weekend in Boulder! We hit OB, Avery and Backcountry Pizza. It was a quick trip but we were able to maximize our free time. Thanks for all the suggestions!
