boulder beer company

Definitely worth the stop if you weren't going to come already. We did a flight that was every beer on the menu! Pretty good way to get a feel for their flavors. It does get pretty busy (we came on Thursday near dinner) they also serve food!

Like the other reviews said, good food, brewery tour, free beer tasting at the end, what's not to like. Looked like a popular place for the lunch crowd. The tour was reasonably short and sweet, and was interesting to talk to folks who actually make the beer and speak freely about the process and the history of the place. Very casual atmosphere. Had a ball talking with other people on the tour. very friendly place. Wouldn't hesitate to go again.

Took a tour of Boulder Brewery. Our guide was fun and informative. Tour takes about 45 minutes which ends with free samples. The blue beer was great. I ordered the stout milkshake. Love stout milkshakes!

Oldest craft brewery in America with a decent little tour. Nice pub area with decent food. Take the tour and enjoy free beer at the end...lots of free beer...I did mention beer and free...right? Seriously people...this is worth the stop.

What's not to like about a brewery tour? And Boulder Beer does it very well....casual, fun, interactive. Small brewery, with personal attention, and obvious love of beer displayed by the staff. Plus the tastings afterwards were nothing short of amazing! At most breweries a sample of two or three brews is pretty average. Once the tour group was in the tasting room, pitchers (yes, I said pitchers) of beer appeared on the long table where we were seated. The next 45 minutes were so much fun with strangers talking about which beer they liked/didn't like, passing pitchers around, and watching with disbelief as MORE beer was brought out! It's free, tours daily (except Sundays) at 2pm. Go early, have a bite of pretty good bar food, and enjoy one of the first microbrewies in the state.

We have been here a few times, but hadn't posted a review so decided to get on it. There are plenty of brew pubs in the Boulder area, so it all comes down to the things you consider important. For me it is all about the beer first, so that comes before atmosphere, food, comfort, etc.! Boulder Beer definitely has the beer - a large selection and rotating specialty beers so you don't get bored. They represent most styles and do a good job with it. We had a 15 beer sampler for $13 - you can't beat that - some places charge $2 or more for a four ounce sampler. After that the atmosphere is great too - it is also a restaurant but not so much of a restaurant that it loses the brew pub feel. The staff is super friendly as well - some established places can tend to seem a bit pretentious at times and this place isn't pretentious at all. Just good and friendly. Then the food - My husband loves nachos - but definitely a certain way - lots of cheese and the cheese and other toppings can't just be dumped on the top two chips of a foot high pile of chips. Boulder Beer nailed it - it was a foot high (maybe not a foot, but still) plate of nachos, but the toppings were all over all the chips with lots of cheese. Score! I also scored - Fridays in April were grilled cheese month and even though it was a Saturday they made me a grilled cheese special. Prices great!

We decided to check this place out-the closest brewery to our apartment ;) They have happy hour specials every day of the week (some food, some beers). The servers were friendly and helpful. The beers we tried were tasty (and affordable!)-and there are still a bunch left to try! The food came out quickly and was delicious. The atmosphere was fun and there were games on t.v. if that's your thing. We'll definitely go back.

Easily accessible from the bike trails, No problem parking, or getting a spot to sit inside, they've got great beers, always something special in rotation. The food is consistently good for such a small place, and the games we want to watch are usually on the TVs.

Absolutely loved this place! Beer was great! Staff was great! Location seemed a bit odd, but so glad we foun this place... Will be back!

Glad we chose to visit this brewery while we were in Colorado for the GABF. Out of 12 breweries we visited and over 75 beers I tried throughout the weekend, this one had the best in my opinion. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted by a guy with shaggy long blond hair and he asked if we've ever been there before. When we said no, he brought us over to a table, leaned up against it and told us a little about their brewery and some new beers they just released. I love it when people take time out of their jobs to go above and beyond like this. I tried "Shake", one of their new brews which is a chocolate stout. A M A Z I N G! I loved it so much!!! I am super bumbed that I can't find any in Illinois but I'm keeping my fingers crossed they start distributing it here!

We enjoyed the short tour of the micro brewery then enjoyed many tasty samples. We also sat out on the patio for dinner. Great food & beer. I was a Friday, so allot of the locals packed the place. The bar/patio area is quite small, but was a enjoyable atmosphere. Favorite brew: Hazed & Confused.

Great hidden gem in Boulder! The brewery has great beer, food, service and music. The outdoor patio is great for seeing live music and keeping kids entertained.

Ted was our guide and did a great job. It was interesting, informative, and fun. The beer tasting at the end surpassed my expectations. Great job!!!

We have been eating here pretty much every week for the past 5 years. I love this place. If you are a beer person, the beer is very good- not the absolute best in Boulder, but very good. The tour is fun and informative and involves free beer, which is always nice.The food is simple pub fare, but is also very reasonable priced. They have vegetarian burgers that are not just frozen gardenburgers, which is nice. They have house-made green chili- both veg and pork- the veg is delicious. There is a great patio with view of the Flatirons on a quiet street, a nice bar area with a large bar and also tables, and a dining room area that views the brew equipment. There is also an event room. There can be a wait, but usually if you get there reasonably early, there is not. The service is usually good. Most of the employees have been there for years and years, so that tells you something about the place. This is simple food and good beer, and it is in sort of an office-park area, so it is off the beaten path. For tourists, I think it is an opportunity to taste some good beer, have some relatively inexpensive food, hang out with the locals and relax. For those of us who call Boulder home, it is a great every day place to eat. They also have a children's menu and are reasonably child-friendly.

The host of the tour was interesting and the tasting room was excellent. Nice way to spend an afternoon. If you are planning on doing a lot of tasting select a designated driver or take a cab. The beer is very good - and potent!
