Friendly brewer and staff. Beer ranges from good to great. If only they had a bike rack outside...

Not my style. The two stars is for the beer which was decent, but the atmosphere and service were both severely lacking... I can't remember the bartender's name, but he had long brunette hair. I stood by the bar and waited for quite awhile to even be acknowledged, then ordered my beer (it was $5.50), gave him a $10, did not receive change, hung out for awhile and wasn't asked if I wanted anything else or if I liked the beer. The interior just looks like a run of the mill strip mall, and it's way too small. I really have no idea how this place has such great reviews. I'm beginning to think think Wheat Ridge just has really low standards. read more

On my quest to find a brewery that I would not have to make time to return to but this place let me down with awesome service and some great tasting craft beers i will be fitting them into future several more times. This Place is also one of the Places that you get your 3 free tasters with your "Brewery Passport" read more

I CAN NOT WAIT TO GO BACK HERE, This is a great little nano brewery. The 2 beers we had were the Triple Eye PA by far one of my favorites I've ever had and the Social Lubricant also a very good beer. Great service from the bartender!! read more

The slogan is: "We're talking much better beer." And yes; we certainly are folks. For brewers, it's the intimacy of developing your own personal touch upon that timeless beverage we know as beer, which basically results in every brewer thinking his/her's is the best. It's the subjectivity of catering to your own palette. And whilst it may seem haughty to some - to toot your own horn so loudly in your slogan, Rickoli's offers some truly exceptional beer that completely backs up that proud proclamation of "much better beer." This truly is much better beer than you'll find nearly anywhere else, and is a shining beacon in the craft brewery world. Perhaps it's only appropriate that their square logo is a bright, vibrant yellow. This place - like a piece of yellow caution tape, deserves your attention. Except for the only thing you'll have to be cautious about here is how deliciously addicting the brews are. Now, before we go on, I have to admit that I'm not exactly the biggest beer connoisseur on the planet. I certainly appreciate the art and the science behind delicious beer, but I'm not so into it that I avidly seek out every last microbrewery and craft house in the region. However, I've had enough different beer in my life to know beer well, and this place deserves a most special mention. The beer here is so incredible that I can only sing praises that inevitably make me sound like a seasoned, veteran, beer critic/pundit, haha. But when something takes me by such wonderful surprise, I'm compelled to both tell the community of its greatness and reassure brewmaster Rick himself that he is doing one absolute hell of a job bringing his dream to life. Rick's expertise and finesse in the art of brewing - that he has acquired over a decade of brewing along the Front Range, is overtly revealed in the opulent, varied menu here. The quality and consistency of his brew comes through in every sip. And speaking of which, lets talk about the opulent and wonderfully varied menu here. Rickoli's truly does have something for everyone, with fifteen beers on the menu - of all types. The truly exceptional thing about this place is the variety, with the menu honoring all the classics and then throwing in some unique outliers as well. Each beer tastes like a beer of that type should, and they're all very different. Yet each beer is alike in how they all bear Rick's signature flavor trademark: a crisp and smooth finish. All of the beers here are rich and explosive with flavor, yet they all go down so smoothly, leaving an aftertaste that's equally as good as the initial taste. That's actually a rather rare and special quality - and even rarer is it for every single beer on the menu to be like that. It's the product of a wealth of knowledge and mastery of the science behind brewing that truly proves that Rickoli's has much better beer that has completely usurped the competition in my opinion. Never before have I gone into a craft brewery and loved every single beer they do. Until now. And lets talk about some of the beers specifically. It's a testament to true greatness when it's difficult to pick a favorite off the menu, but I'll begin with the Hefeweizen. The "VannFaw Hefeweizen", as it's called, is honestly the most delicious Hefeweizen I've ever tasted. I actually haven't tried as many different Hefeweizens as other types of beer, but after the VannFaw, I don't think I even care about trying any other Hefes. Light but rich, with a subtle taste of bananas foster, that's crisp without being too sweet. Truly a phenomenal brew that must be tasted to be believed. Then there's the "Social Lubricant" Scotch Ale - truly one of the best in its class. Actually scratch that, I'll profess that it is the best. After drinking countless Scotch Ales with bold rich wonderful flavor, yet dry and bitter finishes, it's incredible to find one that balances it all out so well. The Social Lube is bold, rich and malty, with a rich aftertaste that is clean and light. It's so high up in its class that it's practically in another class of its own. Then there's the Rye Stout; the first beer I tried and the one that hooked me immediately. And there's also the Aldo Red - quite similar to an Irish Red but slightly lighter and with a cleaner finish. Absolutely delicious. And then there are the IPA's; which even I, as someone who generally hates them, must admit that's they're not at all bad. Any lover of IPA's will become smitten with the "Disturbed Reflection" instantly. It packs all the hoppy punch and yet packs a delightful smoothness completely unique for pale ales, much less an India Pale Ale. I could sit here and pontificate upon the greatness of each beer all night, but this is beer that simply must be tasted. If there's any one place that's putting Wheat Ridge on the microbrewery map, there couldn't possibly be a finer one than Rickoli's. This is one place that deserves visits from all connoisseurs and modest beer drinkers alike. Bravo. Braaaavo. read more

Super cool folks. Great beer selection. I like that it feels kinda like an indie coffee shop, couches and over stuffed chairs, and low tables, etc. Kind of a nice change from the over sported, "WE MAKE BEER" environment of more breweries. read more

Amazing delicious beer, true to Ricks style as a brewer. The selection is outstanding. =)

Laid back atmosphere and delicious beer. What more can you ask for? Also, free popcorn!

The beer was great and there are so many different styles that finding something you like will be very easy. The staff was friendly and attentive and I can't wait to see how this brewery evolves and expands as time goes on. read more

I live down the street from this place, and after going on Yelp to get an idea of it, I had to check it out. A friend of mine owns a brewery in Oklahoma City, so I took him. We were SO impressed with the wonderful beers. The owner even gave us a tour! This unassuming tap room is a hidden gem read more

I'm gonna go ahead and rate Rickoli 4-Stars for now. I feel a little bad about it but with 17 of their own beers on tap, I would like to see at least one beer being canned or bottled. That out of the way, Rickoli has solid vibes and an apparent set of regulars already which is great to see with such a new establishment. I want to go back to the seventeen beers on tap. It really is quite impressive to see. The beers don't have a focus either, they brew everything from sessions to IPAs to cream ales to rye stouts and it was really nice to be able to choose 7 different tasters from the menu and not have anybody say that they were out of anything. And now that I think about this more, that makes me really happy. Something else that makes me really happy is the slap in the face from the smell of wert brewing that you get when you walk in the door. From the steady crowd and the confidence in the air, you would think this place has been here for years; and definitely not less than one. They also offers little bit of bar food in addition to partnering with local restaurants for deliveries. Makes for a concrete hangout spot that I know will be hard to forget. If you are looking to get friends into craft beer or you just love it yourself, I highly recommend swinging out to wheat ridge to experience what Rickoli has to offer. Cheers! read more

Brewery Rickoli strikes me as a remarkably unremarkable place. They offer a lot of different beers, but none of them really stood out in my opinion. Most of their beers leaned toward the hoppier end of the spectrum, which is a fad that has gotten really old. It's not a bad place, but I just don't see any reason to go back considering how many truly excellent breweries there are in the metro area. read more

We were first introduced to Brewery Rickoli through friends and then were motivated to check it out again because it's in the 2017 Pub Pass. Makes me wonder why we don't come here more often! The bartender was very knowledgeable in helping us each try beers that suited our taste. Love the games on hand! We played a rousing game of Apples to Apples and saw several other tables checking out the game selection. read more

I have been going here for awhile now and every time I go in I see more and more smiling faces. This place serves great beer. You will not be disappointed. Don't expect a full menu of food though as this is just a GREAT brewery. read more

Good beer, and I didn't even miss the gluten! The owners were suuuuuper friendly when we headed in to use our Pub Passes before the end of the year, totally open to giving advice based on our diverse tastes. (I'm an IPA all day gal, and I was with a dark beer fan and a couple who are picky on quality but not style.) The location is... not great, and it was completely empty on a Saturday night, but I want to give it another chance on a less wintry night around happy hour time. I can't dislike a place that is friendly to my gluten-free friends without skimping on quality! read more

Thank you Rick for opening a neighborhood brewery that not only has absolutely fantastic beers but for also embracing our community and helping people live a little happier! Rick has truly brewed some magic here, if you are an IPA person you will love Brewery Rickoli !!! Very floral and dankness on the nose and delicious hoppiness all throughout the palate. They also have really great hand made pretzels that someone brings by each day! I will be back and back again,y see you soon Rick! read more

I'm not beer snob or beer nerd (translate: nerd) but I like trying craft beers. Everything I tried I liked. I especially like that this place is a tru family business started on a shoestring. They don't have a kitchen but they provide take out menus from local restaurants that happily deliver or you can bring your own food if you desire. This place definitely has a very special feel that isn't obvious to the jaundiced eye. read more

Absolutely love this place. It's a hidden gem in a strip mall, easy to cruise past without noticing, but stop in for a pint! The atmosphere is wonderful, very casual and relaxing, you can take your time and read or play a board game. The owners are probably the nicest people I know, and take the time to talk about beer, brewing, and other adventures. The beer is equally impressive, the Disturbed Reflection IPA nails it, and there's always something tasty on cask as well. They've done a great job with the beer and atmosphere here, I highly recommend Brewery Rickoli as both a beer tasting destination as well as your local brewery! read more

I give Rickoli's a full five stars because the beer is so delicious, and because everybody there is so friendly, open and welcoming. I like the variety Rick manages to keep on tap, which is really amazing considering the small batches he is brewing. I read another review that criticized Rickoli's for not serving food. This is a by-product of Colorado liquor law. Like many other micro-breweries, they have chosen to open a 'tasting room'. They are only able to server beer served there, and are limited in their food offerings. I really like the creative ideas that have been spawned by this law. On several occasions, Rickoli's has hosted gourmet food trucks.. There are also several restaurants in the area that deliver there: Chinese, Mexican or Pizza to start. Or, bring your own picnic. Really, the glass is half full! Since nothing is perfect, I will mention my only criticism. I wish Rick were brewing some lower ABV beers. This is a problem, because I want to stay longer and drink more yummy beer. I have whined at him enough about this, and he has recently come out with a Session IPA which is only 5% ABV. More please. read more

Really great beers with complex flavors, yet light on the palate and quite enjoyable. The fact that they are nearly all gluten removed is the icing on the cake. read more

This was some of the best beer we have had! You can tell he really takes pride in his brew! We were initially tempted by the 420ibu beer and we stayed for the full variety. The enormous Richard, rye stout, and disturbed IPA were fantastic! read more

Fantastic array of different styles of beer which is nice for those who know what they want and those who don't. Also, on this visit I brought a four year old energetic girl; they also make two delicious house sodas which is much appreciated. It was moderately busy when I was here and the single person, I believe the owner, was working both the bar and tables, and didn't seem to ever struggle to provide personalized service. read more

We stopped in using a Pub Pass. Previous to coming here I hadn't had any gluten removed beers but I was open to the idea. We came in and it was fairly busy. It's located in a semi-run down strip mall right next to a head shop. I had the double cream ale and it was pretty tasty and you couldn't taste the alcohol bit at 8.5% like you can in some beers, so that was refreshing. Their interior is kind of ehhh, not the best, not the worst. They could use some updates though. All in all it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't go out of my way to stop by. read more

I have to give one star only because yelp says they are open until 9PM today and they say they close at 8PM. It's 8:02 PM. I am not able to try anything here so my only review will be; don't try and get here after 8PM on Sunday. They will not be open. read more

Stunning beers, great selection and best of all the bar feels like a down home friendly place in your home town, except with craft beers, great rotating art on the walls and great music selected by the bartenders - you will make friends here, both staff and patrons. Love it read more

I finally can have beer again! I have celiac disease and was resolved to beer as a thing of the past. Who are we kidding, gluten free beer is usually nasty and there is no reason that anybody should drink that stuff (with the exception of Omission). All of Brewery Rickoli's beers, with the exception of the wheat beers (which is just one right now) are gluten free. BUT....these are craft beers that are gluten removed. All the same great ingredients that make great beer are in this beer. The beers are great and the tasting room is a great atmosphere. I really enjoyed the beer here, we brought growlers and we will be back whenever I want beer. Love it, love it, love it! read more

Such good beer!!! I love the rye beers and now the Porter is my fav! Gluten free is a plus for me, and the beer is better than most breweries in town. Friendly and relaxed. read more

Best beer in Colorado. Everything a beer connoisseur could ask for. Sours, chilies, triple IPA's (OMG the Statik may be the best beer ever brewed), and a super chill environment. Pet friendly. Great, knowledgeable staff. A beer drinkers secret paradise. read more

Excellent selection of house brewed beers. The pretzel brat was great for a mid afternoon snack. Disturbed reflection is fantastic. Only one dude behind the bar, Zack, but he was awesome and took care of us promptly and had great recommendations. read more

After a seriously long bike ride I was jonesing for a beer. But 5 months gluten free had me thinking I'd never be able to enjoy that again. Enter Brewery Rickoli...real beer (not sorghum, not cider) with the gluten removed. Free at last! The IPA was deliciously bitter and the Palisade Peach ale was absolute heaven. This will become a regular hangout for us. Thank you Rick! read more

We had been meaning to try this place for some time, given that my girlfriend is gluten intolerant. This was the first stout she's had in 3 years, and it was a pleasure to watch her enjoy a top notch beer again. I myself couldn't taste a difference between this and a beer brewed the traditional way. The oatmeal stout brewed in partnership with Sam Adams is recommmended . read more

Very friendly service. Good beer. Nice crowd. Interior feels a bit 90's but it's a great hangout all with all. Worth a visit. read more

Cool place to grab a drink, and it's dog friendly. Only snacks are available so don't go hungry. Super friendly staff and a cool vibe to hang out for a bit. read more

Absolutely love this place! The beer is fantastic (and on the plus side, my dad with celiac can enjoy it) and the staff is amazing! Every time we come in, it feels like home. read more

Love this place. Its right down the street from our house and serves great beer. Always has friendly service. Enjoyed the night the blue grass group was there playing randomly. Rick keep on with the great beer.... We will be back soon. read more

I admittedly "judged a book by its cover" with this brewery. We had four of the beers and a sampler on our first trip and couldnt have been more impressed. On top of that, the bartender was very helpful and friendly. Im not even going to waste my time mentioning the individual beers we had because I have a feeling they will all be amazing. I will definitely be returning soon. read more

Great craft ales that happen to be low in gluten.

Well from the reviews I am reading, I am glad the word is out on this great brewery. Have been coming here for about a year and they are due for a shout out. Fantastic beer and selection, dog friendly, order in/food truck options, and games. I would have to say this is the best brewery on the west side of town. Try everything, it is all good. read more

Great selection here that is almost all gluten free. Couple of TVs and lots of board games.

All the beers were super tasty, especially the imperial stout! Bartender was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Love that everything is gluten free with full flavor! We'll definitely be back. read more
