Impressive food (and beer, of course) selection at Avery's! We were hungry upon arrival after spending 90-minutes at the Downtown Aquarium earlier. I like fruity & sour beer, so opted for Zuzilla. My beer was so refreshing & tasty! I had the seafood tacos with mango salsa - delicious! My son had the kids mac & cheese, which he loved. My hubby enjoyed his wedge salad with smoked buffalo wings. He said the wings were the best he'd ever eaten. We also loved the spacious patio seating with live size games - perfect for families with kids. read more

Stopped by here for a brief visit, and definitely added it to the list of places to return so I can experience even more of what it has to offer! What a huge place. The sprawling patio with tables, umbrellas, outdoor games, and plenty of sunshine was all so welcoming. My friend and I popped in to have a quick beer, and I loved the lime-zest in the larger I had. Sounds like this place does events and tours, has a full restaurant food menu, and an entire secondary venue space I didn't see. Definitely a good find! read more

Been coming here for over a decade every time I am in Boulder and love it every time. The service is always top notch. We sat outside and one of our friends got a business call and stepped away. His beer got warm but our server actually took it and poured a nice cold one. That is over the top great service. Good good too. We has the brisket nachos and the buffalo chicken eggrolls. Both were amazing! read more

Great spot to enjoy a beer in the sun! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The brewery itself is massive. Lots of seating and nice places to hang out with a group of friends. read more

Avery used to have very good food but went suddenly downhill since our last visit 2 months ago. The mahi mahi sandwich was literally inedible and the veggie tacos were mediocre. It's pretty obvious that the foreign owners have imposed major cost cutting with unfortunate results. The beer is still great, and we might come back for a beer sometime but will NEVER order food here again.... read more

Highly recommend the Brewery Tour! Offered daily at 430pm. We had an excellent tour guide, Fish. We had several beer tastings during the tour and learned a lot about the brewing process including yeast production (Avery produces their own yeast). We also got to see the Barrel room and learn about barrel aging. We had a taste of barrel aged and also a tasting straight from a barrel that was oxidized. Then we moved on to food and more tastings for dinner. We tasted a few beers that we didn't taste on the tour including their new product, hard tea. We enjoyed and shared. For food we had the Pretzel (this family never passed on a pretzle!), Brisket Plate,.Fish & Chips, and Ceasar Salad. Brisket was so tender! Ceasar reminded us of the one I make back.home, high compliment! You order and pay thru an app. Server brings the food out and checks in with you. Beers are ordered at the Bar. Great experience and we plan to return during our visit! We also bought beer to go and enjoy at the hotel! read more

I'm surprised by how much I, as someone who doesn't drink much alcohol, enjoy this place. Everything from the food (brisket nachos are a staple) and the non-alcohol drink options to the free EV charging and laidback ambiance. The employees are energetic and friendly. They're doing something right here ! read more

The service is unbelievably rude. Ordered at bar, and she was rude. I asked what is the deal, she said go get your beer elsewhere. Talked to manager and he was beyond rude. Treating customers like this is unacceptable. I don't recommend this to anyone, go to another brewery and spend your money. This place needs to close! read more

One of the best breweries in all of Colorado. I have been drinking their barrel aged beers for years. Unfortunately I heard they are stopping barrel aged bottles. I hope this is untrue. All of their beer is amazing, I haven't had a single one that I don't like. Their IPA's and barrel aged ones are my favorite but I'm not allowed to try any. read more

Came in for an early dinner and the place was pretty busy! Island Rascal 16oz for $7. Fried Chicken Sammy ($19) - the sandwich buns were a little soggy so I wish they toasted it. The fried chicken was seasoned well. Unfortunately, the garlic fries lacked garlic so it tasted like normal fries. read more

Avery Brewing - Fried Chicken Sammy - Breweries Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Nice spot, good beer, very good food. Staff were very friendly. One minor issue, too much salt on the fries, but I've only been there once, don't know if that's the regular. Only other drawback was the confusing ordering system, I really don't like the QR menu and online payment methods. Found out after that this is not the only way to order, but it's not intuitive if your first time there. I'll get over that and know better next time. read more

Really enjoyed my Fried Chicken Sammy with Garlic Fries. My server Zach was helpful, as I navigated the list of brews. I went with the IPA Flight for tasting, and finished with a Samaels barrel-aged, which was phenomenal. read more

We would go back! read more

Great service! Great beer! And the food was pretty great as well. Nice variety on the menu. The green chili stew is where it's at, quite good. My dining partners enjoyed their meals as well. Our server was fantastic and timing for food, drinks and checking on us, was perfect. read more

Those who know, know. Some of the best locally made beer in Colorado. They have a huge space for dining and enjoying drinks outside. Heads up this place gets busy on the weekends, expect a wait However, their food was frankly lacking and not very memorable. Rating 4 stars bc the atmosphere is nice and their beer is great. I'd still return here for a beer and some grub after say a hike in Boulder, but wouldn't come just for the food. They have free tours of some of the brewery I believe, didn't get a chance to try it this time read more

Avery Brewing is one of the most famous breweries in Colorado, doing it for over 30 years. The Boulder taproom is nothing short of impressive. It's a little off the beaten path, but you'll find yourself staying for a long time. Long before I moved to Colorado, I would sample big burly rare Avery beers at the bottle shop and breweries I worked at. I first visited this location in 2019 and was blown away by the space from the get go. I mean, how can you not be? It's massive! +Outdoor Patio - One of the best around. Massive green space utilizing events, music, games, etc. Plenty of tables with umbrellas. One of the more dog friendly breweries around. +Indoor Taproom - Probably their most customary space. Built for high volume, lots of high tops, some bar seating. +Upstairs Restaurant/Bar - A beautiful space that has big barrel room energy. Dark woods and a gorgeous bar. +Bottle Shop/Merch Store - Connected to the latter. Beer coolers filled with their core beers and rarities. +Brewery Space - You can walk into the brewery at any time to look at the tanks, fermenters, and canning line. It's a big operation. I like how they have plenty of tables and chairs too, so if you don't want to be in the sun (or snow) you have a place to hide. Yesterday's visit included a pretzel and two beers. The pretzel was delicious! The Patrol Dog Pale Ale and Nomadic Dreamer Hazy IPA were ideal for a warm and sunny winter day. Overall, their beers aren't my favorite in Colorado let alone Denver, but you can't knock Avery for their consistency. If you're looking to impress someone from out of state, Avery should be on your list. Even if they're a casual beer drinker, there's so much going on here that it's easy to get lost in it all. Cheers to 30 more years! read more

First time to come by to check out the place and try out some beers. We weren't eating, so we ate in the bar area downstairs rather than the restaurant area upstairs. I couldn't decide, so I tried small pours of most of the dark beers. I'd probably rank them as... 1. Tweak 2. Old Jubilation 3. Ellie's Brown Ale 4. The Reverend 5. Latte on My Mind My wife liked the Latte the best and enjoyed a pint of that one. This place is large and impressive. It doesn't have the small brewery feel of other places we frequent, and it's not particularly convenient for us. Maybe we'll stop in again the last time we're in the neighborhood. There is a small, dog-friendly outdoor area, so that's an option as well. read more

Nice place to drink a couple after a hike in the mountains. Simple, laid back and clean. Got myself a sticker for a yeti cup.

The $10 brewery tour is definitely worth it! You get 4 large beer tastings and refills plus a one hour behind the scenes tour that is very informative. It was great to meet other people on the tour. Gabe and his trainer did an excellent job and are very kind and informative. They had a medical emergency with a patron during the tour which was handled with care. Don't lock your knees while standing on the tour and remember to drink water because you are at a higher altitude and alcohol will have a greater effect. However their is a fire department conveniently located across the street. Thank you Avery! Can't wait to come back! read more

My favorite local brewery for great food and beers. They have a ton of rotating beers on tap and I've enjoyed every one I've tried, but have a special attachment to anything on the malty / dark / barrel aged part of the menu. We've taken all of our out-of-town visitors here because the food and beers hit the mark every time. Their bbq is delicious and they change up their menu so it's always a nice surprise when we visit and there's something new to sample. My personal favorites I've had here are: Beers: Ellie's Brown Ale (local favorite), White Rascal, and the Gorpe Diem (please bring this back, I was hooked!) Food: Das Pretzel, Smoked Wings (that mojo bbq is yum), brisket plate (a must order every time we visit, usually very tender and juicy) The service is usually pretty good and friendly. There's a mix of indoor / outdoor seating with an upstairs as well. Check out the shop upstairs for their take home beer selection and merch. read more

Me and The Hubs were in the area on a Saturday to go to the nearby car museum with some of his car club members and we came here for lunch afterward. I'm not really a 'beer person' but was wowed not by the one beer that I had, but by the food. I had the fish and chips. While 'not the best fried fish I've ever had', it was very good. What wowed me was The Hub's lunch. He ordered the Brisket Plate (9 oz of smoked brisket, beer mustard bbq, fennel slaw, green chili mac n cheese, green chili cornbread). I tasted the brisket and it was excellent! I was so surprised by how good it was. I was also surprised by how much brisket was on the plate. It might have been 9oz, but this serving looked like more. He couldn't eat it all and we brought the rest home (yay for me!). I love their fennel slaw. It also came with the fish& chips. Yum! This place is too far from home to come on any regular basis, but next time I'm in the area I'll definitely come back. PS - Our server was super nice! read more

Avery Brewing is an original Boulder craft brewery. Through the years, I have had the pleasure of watching them grow up from a small unit in an industrial park to several units in the same park to the beautiful building they crafted uniquely for themselves. This building is home to its entire operation, from ingredient storage and yeast propagation to brewing operations and packaging. Beyond brewing great beer, this is also home to their taproom and restaurant. Most recently, we visited for a weeknight dinner. The taproom wasn't too busy, and we were greeted by the sweetest young lady who was also tending the bar. We ordered various beers, most notably the Old Jub, which was perfect for the cold December night. We also decided to get a few food items: the gumbo, brisket nachos, and the beat salad. Everything came out of the kitchen quickly, and the food was delicious. The beat salad was fresh and funky all at the same time. The nachos were piled high with goodies, and the gumbo was rich and hearty. Everything was great. Although I've visited hundreds of times throughout the last 20 years or so, tonight, I was reminded of how great Avery Brewing really is. I can't wait to come back again. read more

I just had Sunday lunch here and wanted to leave a great review since it was a great experience. The service and the food were both very good and the vibe was happy with many babies, puppies and people chilling in the outdoor area. Above all, the people working there seem like they're out to make your visit pleasurable. There's a choice to order from a person or scan the menu (and add via scanning along the way with an open tab). Either way, food came fast and with a smile and we were waited on by everyone. There isn't a dedicated server and it worked great. We had the pretzel and shared the fish and chips. All was very fresh and hot. The fried food seemed especially fresh compared to usual restaurant fare. All in all, I felt really happy and satisfied and glad we chose to try Avery Brewing! read more

The food was good, but the prices were high. The weather was good so sitting outside was pleasant. Outside seating is good if you have a dog in the seating party. Ive never had a soft pretzel that was priced at $12 but this was a first. It was big and good, but a bit hard to justify. Overall a pleasant place to. read more

Excellent brewery that I was able to check out on a reach trip to Boulder. I really enjoyed everything about this brewery. Food was good, beers were great, service was excellent. This brewery is nesselled in a little corporate office park. Lots of parking and tons of outside seating. Since it was raining we opted to sit inside. They have different food menus depending on the day that you are there. We just got a light snack of chips and dip. The salsa was so flavorful and smokey! The cheese and guac were the perfect addition. Now onto the beers. We got a flight - which you can customize. Each beer is priced accordingly. My tops were the White Rascal and the Avery IPA. I was googling if I could get any of these back home while I was in the restaurant cause I liked them so much. Electric sunshine, a sour beer, was also very good. Not sure if I ever will be back but I will tell everyone that they need to stop by! Great place :) read more

Great beer in a very fun environment! Food is excellent too. Simple menu but everything is well made and delicious.

Excellent food. The bbq meat is perfectly done. Only down side - the place is crawling with flies. They should implement some type of fly control (if you google it there are many solutions) read more

The 5 stars is for evaluating this as a craft beer/pub. It is casual and clean with indoor and outdoor seating. Tons of beers on tap to choose from. The food was VERY fresh and delicious. Highly recommend the smoked wings (bbq). Service was super friendly. You can view the bottling and brewery there on premises. They have a decent amount of fun merchandise to buy. I was disappointed they didn't have my size and seemed to not offer anything other than "sorry, we don't have it"!! Oh well. Minor thing. Overall it is a fun place to go, great tasting beer, plenty of parking, great food. Reserve in advance if a busy weekend day. So glad I visited!! read more

Honestly, I popped in here because I was in Boulder for the night for an interview. I wanted something with salmon and day they had some options. I got a large Caesar salad with double smoked salmon and some green chili on the side. First, I just want to say even on a rainy Sunday night this place was busy so patrons love it. The staff was very friendly which was nice and dogs are welcome. The salad was a good portion and the smoked slalom was pretty good. I really liked the green chili with had nice flavor and came with rice and corn bread. This is a good place to pop in for a drink or some good food. I recommend stopping by if in the area. read more

The food was pretty delicious. But this place is by far more brewery than a restaurant. So, don't come here unless you're going to drink. We did not drink, and it kind of appears that the food comes second and the beer comes first. The music they play is super weird. The wait staff is not super attentive. And, they have fallen into the trap of most other restaurants of thinking it's OK to charge extra for the kitchen staff. They charge an extra 4% on every bill for the kitchen staff. Why they can't just pay their kitchen workers what they want to pay them And raise their prices accordingly, is beyond me. It's not my job to pay your employees. You pay them what you want and charge what you need to for your food and drink, and I'll decide whether to come. It's pretty easy. Don't guilt me into paying 4% on the bill without any prior notification Until I sit down. I hate how Colorado restaurants do this. If you wanna pay your kitchen staff an extra 4%,, raise your prices 4% and then pay your kitchen staff What you wanna pay them. Don't know why this extra fee has been popping up all over a Colorado. Just pay your kitchen stuff what you think they're worth. And raise your prices accordingly, and if I can afford to come, I will if not, I won't. It's pretty simple. read more

My partner and I came in last Saturday night and were seated promptly and then treated to the best service we have ever experienced at Avery. We had two main servers, Eva and Sierra and they were very friendly, efficient, and attentive. The beer was amazing, per usual, with our favorites being The Gold Digger, Umami Mami, Thirty, and the classic Reverend. The food was amazing as well. We had some fries with some mustard and ranch, a pretzel with cheese dip, a Caesar salad, and a chicken sandwich. At the end of the meal, Chavonne came over and introduced herself and thanked us for coming in and asked if we had a good experience. We felt very taken care of and we will be back! We highly recommend Avery Brewing! read more
