    Westfield, blood orange, porter
    Matt C.

    Had an absolutely excellent experience tonight. Everything from the wood panels, the quiet atmosphere, and fine and fancy brews will have me coming back for more. This is a nice niche brewery here in Lafayette, and it contrasts great with busier breweries like 4 Noses and Liquid Mechanics. The feel here is rustic, local, and very welcoming. There's only so much room inside, but hey have a large outdoor area as well. They are following all Covid things fine. I got a great flight of the Brushwood, a brown stout with some nutty flavors and smooth aftertaste, the Westfield, a lightly hopped Saison, and the Blood Orange, a great light beer that I could drink a gallon of on Sunday morning. All were poured fresh. I loved the blood orange, a super easy to drink brew that tasted a bit like juice. The Westfield was a classic Saison, and had a very neutral and clean taste. The stout was a perfect autumn beer, and I would probably come back and grab a can of this to go. Overall, a great place to explore some nuances of the beer world. The bartender Madelyn was friendly and loved beer almost more than me! She had plenty of recommendations and was the hostess of a fine cool fall night, with tables of patrons relaxing and enjoying the light music and carefree environment. I will be back very soon.

    Not gonna lie. The chances of me coming across Cellar West on my own would've been slim to none. A small, local brewery in Lafayette? Out of the hundreds in all of Colorado? My buddy recently collaborated with Cellar West on a design project, and he had high praises for their unique brews. Yesterday afternoon, we all decided to make the 40 minute trek from Denver. The verdict? Worth it, oh so worth it! I love little places like this putting their city on the map. You'd never know a haven for specialty craft beer awaits you inside this unassuming location. The brewery has a beautiful interior design, with awesome artwork, vinyl record player setup, and a cozy nook near their barrels. Farmhouse Ales are beers that I typically don't gravitate towards on a recurring basis. Though I truly appreciate the style and the craftsmanship behind them. When you're at Cellar West, stick with their namesake beers. The White Stable has to be one of their flagships, with notes of grapes, almost white wine like. Same goes for the Bizhou, a farmhouse porter (which I had never seen) that tasted like a bitter coffee beverage. Both were fantastic! Bonus points for knowledgeable bartenders, a small menu of food items, and a cooler full of to-go beers. I hope this review encourages someone to check out Cellar West. It's a great, local spot!

    Wow! Been drinking around Colorado all week (and other weeks as well) and this is my favorite beer lineup. Granted I have a specific taste - saison, farmhouse, barrel aged, and sours - and this place is a bullseye for me. Tasted all 4 on tap and each was a hit, most for extra bases. If you share my passion for this style then please don't miss this brewery. It's tiny, dark, and way back in the industrial park but it's full of barrels and fantastic beer. Don't let the fact they are CU fans dissuade you, even a CSU dad loves Cellar West!

    Good location. Friendly bartenders. If you like saisons this is the spot for you. It's all they have. Good environment. Very low key. Had the Pilsner and purple saison.

    Secret beer ;)

    Some of the most interesting and best beers in the county. These are the small guys of the craft world and I really appreciate their style. They are also great about working with other small businesses and give back to the community through rewards programs by shopping local. Good people, good beer, good morals.

    Very unique place. Cozy atmosphere for a night with friends, your partner or even to come work on your laptop. Jazz night on Thursdays, open mic on Sundays and food provided by Tip Top Pies. THE BEER! If you're a fan of farmhouse ales this is definitely the place for you. However if not there are still great pilsner, IPAs, porters and dark ales on tap. To be honest when I first started coming in I wasn't a fan of farmhouse but the beers here made me a fan really quick. I've worked at breweries in the US, Australia and Asia and can tell you this is a memorable place! Definitely worth a try

    S'more Stout imperial stout, by Cellar West Artisan Ales, Lafayette, Colorado, USA
    Matthew D.

    I highly recommend Cellar West Artisan Ales, in Lafayette, Colorado. If you love farmhouse ales, then this is absolutely the place for you. If that's not your thing, no problem, because they also brew fantastic IPA, pilsner, stout, and other wide-ranging styles. Cellar West is amazingly versatile. When indoor seating is available, it's very cozy and has a great, warm atmosphere. There is also a nice outdoor patio, with some shade sails for when it's hot, and propane heaters for when it's not. This is a great place for a date, but it's also family-friendly (my kid enjoys the Rocky Mountain Soda Co. root beer that is usually available). There are lots of beer-to-go options available; they bottle and can many of their beers, and growler fills are available too. I've ordered online, by phone, and in-person. I haven't seen their beer available in stores, so I recommend going straight to the source. I've been there during the COVID-19 pandemic, to pick up beer-to-go and to enjoy a glass or two on the patio, and I have always felt very safe. My recent favorites are the Grateful Sled winter IPA, Desired Effect double IPA, S'more Stout, Kneebone Pils, and of course, Westfield, their classic, award-winning saison. If you're a fan of fine beer and are in or near Lafayette, you've gotta check this place out.

    Great vibe and seriously fantastic wild fermented/funky Brett beer. Some of the best beer in Colorado.

    Classy small batch beers.

I completely don't remember what everyone ordered but I DO remember all the things I tried at the table. Tater Tots - parmesan & chives / house onion sour cream - nothing outstanding about this but the kids/teens/young adults LOVED it and may have inhaled it in one breath. Roasted Cauliflower - saffron cream / chermoula / sumac / miso aioli / crispy onion - the saffron cream was a nice touch of essence and the crispy onion brought a good sweetness and texture to the dish. Honey Bourbon Wings - fried chicken wings / honey bourbon glaze / dill pickles - this was FABULOUS, good fry, not burnt and the glaze was perfect, not ooey gooey sticky, just sticky to the touch. Wild Boar Bucatini - wild boar ragu / cured egg yolk / parmesan / chives - this was my dinner order. I'm always excited when there's bucatini on the menu. It just holds enough sauce in the hollows to satisfy me. The ragu was cooked well, good sauce maybe it needed just a little pinch more of salt for my liking. Parking in the neighborhood is not difficult. We had an airbnb down the street and walked here in less than 5 minutes. There's indoor and outdoor seating as well as a covered patio-ish area. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Lafayette!

The sound and the joy gave off such a great vibe immediately when walking into this establishment. This review is based on a sit down dinner and a take out on another night because our sit down was so good! Here's all that we tried: POST CHEDDAR BISCUITS - hot and cheesy - these were not as flakey as they looked like they were going to be. Not bad, but nothing to write home about. ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS - sweet and spicy peppers, garlic mojo, cotija cheese | *a portion of sales from this item go to Zero Foodprint -- an org working to combat climate change in the food & beverage industry - these were good, great crispiness, char was flavorful and the sauce was sweet and tangy. Subsequently, I made a hash for breakfast with leftovers from here and these proved to be GOOD flavoring. GREEN CHILE BISON SAUSAGE BOARD (LAFAYETTE) - Rock river bison sausages, hard boiled eggs, dill pickles, bread and butter pickle relish, baked baguette, peach honey mustard - I'm a sucker for charcuterie, the bison sausage was so delicious, I ordered another after we finished the first. This also went into the next day hash! FRIED HALF CHICKEN - our famous gluten free fried chicken, choice of side, pickles, and a biscuit - ordered this on or second visit (takeout night) and did not regret a thing. It was fantastically fried to crispy perfection. The chicken was juicy and tasted like they brined it in pickle juice. CHICKEN TENDERS - all natural tenders, breaded and fried, served with ranch - good chicken, also went into the hash. OG POST BURGER*- american cheese, bacon onion jam, special sauce, griddled sourdough english muffin & fries - good burger, personally, I'd appreciate better cheese! QUINOA & KALE - quinoa, kale, arugula, roasted sweet potatoes, pickled red onions, roasted tomatoes, cucumbers, toasted sesame and sunflower crunch, lemon tahini dressing - the dressing MADE this salad, good job Chef! PUEBLO GREEN CHILE MAC & CHEESE - nothing spectacular, I would have liked this with more green chile and a better cheese base. The parking isn't a lot, but it didn't seem like people had trouble at all. We walked. It's a great little neighborhood restaurant. As I said early on, it was tasty enough to warrant a second visit!

Sure it's not WeldWerks crazy but it's certainly more adventurous than a lot of breweries offering wise. Was a nice day so the patio was lively. The old brew house has now been converted to additional seating and it can also be rented out as an event space. They've added a permanent food truck in the middle of the patio. Burgers and salads but some nice side options as well. Four or five tables for seating directly across from the truck and some lower seats to lounge or chill as if you were around the campfire. Not needed for this year's mild winter but patio heaters too! Inside you've got bar seating. Plenty of tables both high and low. Even a quieter "kids nook" with some toys and a number of books. Huge perk as a parent is that BOTH bathrooms have a baby changing table! Small thing but a rarity these days. Especially having one in the men's room at all. Game and novelty vending machine adjacent to the brewery merch. They have a large number of board games for rent as well as hosting a number of game nights. Great space and vibe. A very mixed crowd of people and pets. Didn't mention this before but dogs are allowed inside AND on the patio. Long overdue for a return but really glad we stopped in today.

It's actually quite easy to miss with Teocalli having way more business just one street down. It's got a lovely interior with lots of wood and a nice rooftop patio. Walking in, I wouldn't think much of it. The menu is relatively simple with some appetizers, salads, hot dogs, sandwiches, and some other things. Where this place shines is their bacon, and by extension their sandwiches. Multiple people I've gone with have said the JGBLT is the best sandwich they've ever had. It's certainly up there for me, just behind panino I've had in Italy. It's nothing complicated, but each part of the sandwich is so well done that the finished product is understated and overwhelming. So good. It's also the perfect portion, every time. It doesn't seem to matter how hungry I am when I come in. They have an excellent beer list with lots of things to choose from. The whiskey menu is absolutely insane, and the whiskey flights are necessary to digest it. A small thing that is really nice- their sodas. It's not just coca cola or Pepsi products- they have craft sodas, which are really excellent. Additionally, you can get their non alcoholic cocktails for the same price as just a soda, which is lovely. The daily specials are always fantastic and a good way to get something unexpected. I will be extremely sad when I have to move from Lafayette, as this restaurant is one of my favorites in the world.
