My partner came to a Friday night concert and then returned the following day for Bloody Marias, chips and excellent homemade salsa. We had a great conversation with the owner/manager, Ashley, about Colorado history, arts in Wallenberg and even where to buy bison meat locally. read more

Great service, menu, and vibe. We arrived as the Crafty Canary was opening, served a beer while she fi wished openig, took our order. Our fiod arrived in short order. Highly recommend when in Walsenburg. Extra Kudos for allowing the No Kings protesters of Huerfano County to grab a beer. read more

Do you ever feel like you're searching for something that you can't name? An ache and longing for somewhere warm, inviting, and homey? What a gem Crafty Canary Brewing Company turned out to be. We were greeted like old friends by the business owner (a woman, too: go girl Boss!) and continued to enjoy our entire experience. The owner was accommodating and just as much as a positive vibe as her delightful little brewery. While enjoying their carefully curated and delightful food (of which we ordered the lentil soup and Kung Poa beef), my friend mused, "how do people get to that level of cool?" We all agreed. If a place is an extension of the love and spirit invested into it, Crafty Canary is love embodied. I've never had a flight where every beer in the flight was not just enjoyable but had me wondering if I need to move to a small town in Colorado. read more

great beer and cocktails and excellent service Electric and cool atmosphere. We will be back!!

My friend and I visited this brewery while we vacationed in the local area. I grabbed a beer (Orange APA) and sat down to listen to a local musician. This was a much smaller brewery than I'm used to, but we had a nice time. The bartender was friendly when I asked him for some recommendations/samples. read more

Crafty Canary Brewery - Blood Orange Lager - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Walsenburg, Colorado

Just passing through on our summer road trip, we stopped in Walsenberg for fuel and gruel; and spotted the Crafty Canary Brewery. After 8,000+ miles from Los Angeles to Key West, and back via Mesa Verde in Colorado, we'd seen a thing or two, and I'd visited at least a few breweries from San Antonio, Tx, to Isla Morada, FL to Memphis, TN... to name a few. And while I would have enjoyed sitting down here for a few rounds, and sampling their locally brewed beers and what were reported to be some incredible hand craft cocktails, using local hooch and ingredients, traveling with three kids, and a big trailer means you don't have "one for the road." But I noted the cool indoor and outdoor seating areas, the beers on tap, and a big pine bar that beckoned me to belly up. Alas... I went in to see if they had anything to go in 6 pack form (growlers only, I learned later from the website), but for what it's worth, I was one of those rare times I got to visit a watering hole and not wet my whistle... and celebrate the adventure of it all! We'll be back through this way on our next Durango to Omaha adventure, and considering this spot is as good as any to park the truck for the night where the 160 meets I-25.... I'll see you next time, Aubrey. Cheers. read more

We LOVE everything about The Crafty Canary. We're from Denver and we've been known to alter our route so we can spend time at the Crafty Canary. It never disappoints. The food, beverages, and staff are the BEST! read more

Amazing food for those who want something a little different. Perfect if your vegan and or gluten free.

What a place. Old cowboys and hippies sitting around drinking good craft beer and arguing about who grows the best local weed. Not to mention their organic food menu. I had the curry made with local lamb. read more

Crafty Canary Brewery - IPA with Lamb Curry. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Walsenburg, Colorado

Great little brewery. Fun atmosphere and vibe. We were on our way to the Springs and took a short detour. Highly recommend.

LOVELY experience here - the owner was so kind, good beer and GREAT food (like REALLY good) and good vibes all around. We were just passing thru but I'd make this a regular hang if I was more local. read more

Fantastic service at this local spot, thank you! Not being a fan of beer (in a brewery, yes I know) I go straight for the cocktail menu and the seasonal whiskey smash does not disappoint. The snack menu is great or bring in your own food for a small fee, what a fantastic option! The apparel is hilarious and worth the trip alone. What a bright spot making a difference in Walsenburg! read more

I have been driving through and around Walsenburg for many years - out of Dallas & Denver. Watching this town come alive has been a real joy, considering it's probably one of the best place in the world to catch a sunrise or a sunset. The Crafty Canary Brewery is precisely titled. And it is in line with how neat the entire area really is. It's right off main street in downtown Walsenburg. They have an excellent selection of craft beers. The cocktails are what you would find in haunts in Seattle, Denver, Portland etc. There are beautiful murals all through town- local artists hang on the walls. Walsenburg is an old mining town with an incredible lore and the Crafty Canary carries this spirit- even in the name and logo. It took me a second, but for the sharper ones it'll make sense right away. They serve food- they have live music and an open mic night. I was with some family friends and the games had our kids all occupied rather than using their phones- For travelers passing through this is a very good taste of the heart of this Colorado town. read more

Hand crafted beers in a good selection of high quality beers and ales, good bar selection, wholesome, yummy pub food, very capable and friendly staff, warm friendly local folks. What a joy. I lucked out and saw the parade! read more

They had a rose cider when I visited, and I was so pleasantly surprised. I only wish they had more gluten free, dairy free snack options, but the place is a little gem! We like to sit on their patio with our dogs. read more

After 10 hours on the road, we checked in to our Airbnb and looked for a place to have a drink. Just a block away we found the Crafty Canary Brewery. We were two of four people at first but as the evening went on it filled up with locals. Ended up staying for several hours having a great time as everyone made us feel so welcome. We enjoyed Black Bear Brown Ale and Ska Hazy IPA craft beers, as well as Whiskey Smash and Supernova cocktails which included ingredients made in-house and were delicious. We also ordered the Miner's Carte plate which was a perfect size for two to snack on. Aubrey, the owner, was incredibly friendly and even gave us some of her secrets for pickling beets and making Lavender syrup that I hope to try at home. We wish them incredible success and will always stop by when we pass through Walsenberg. read more

Stopped by as an out of towner and was made to feel right at home. Super friendly people both the staff and the local patrons. Great craft beer. read more

Cool little shop with good beer. Only issue I saw was the online menu and beer list did not match up with the in store list. Bartender was working hard though to get everyone served and cocktails made up. read more

What a joke I walked in and all ggghhhhhh 4 beers on draft Pay as you go Maybe she wasn't rude but.......... I walked out Must be locals only read more

Love the canary...ambience great...small town/bar type atmosphere...ohhhhh, the drinks are fantastic....all kinds of beautiful colorful concoctions - and beer for the not so elegant...its my fav...and the food is real....that's another plus!! Stop in, if just for a drink...you'll be glad you did!!!! read more

Not very good buddy . The beer is 10 ply and the staff is just above mediocre.. I would rather drink a molson. 35$ for 2 beers and 2 mixed cocktails? Big city prices without the big city slams! Walsenburg is such a Sh-hole President trump wants build a wall around it.... MAGA 2020 read more

They claim on social media to be a great restaurant. Apparently it's all about the alcohol. If you're looking for a variety of food choices, look elsewhere. We stopped in for dinner on a Saturday evening. The server was pleasant and explained all the alcohol offerings, before presenting us with a tiny food menu. It contained exactly FOUR entree items. And TWO of them were vegan. Nothing on the menu looked appealing, so we left without ordering. We don't see any reason to return. read more

Strongly recommended for tourists passing through! My family and I were passing through town on the way back from the Dunes National Park. We loved this place. Everything about it. Well-kept establishment where Aubrey provided friendly and wonderful customer service. Most importantly, the in-house brews paired fittingly with the food options across the street available here for dining. This brewery gives me all the motivation I need to come back down to this neck of the woods to hike Mt. Blanca. Crafty Canary will be the light at the end of the tunnel waiting for me when I return. I Strongly recommend this place to anybody passing through Walsenburg! Easy 5 stars. read more

I absolutely love, love, love this place. As cool if not more so than other breweries I've been to in Colorado. Can't wait till they are up 100% as I understand they were asked to open for a local music festival, the Celtic Festival, despite not being completely ready. Such a cool place with great and friendly staff. It's gonna be a happen' scene! Super excited for Walsenburg! read more

Caught Craft Canary [in a coal mine] mid-June. Only open for take-out. I think they will refill your growler. I had the Audit [ amber or red]. Totally quaffable, ABV about 6.1%. Guess what? more expensive than a six pack. Put some money on the ground, ya filthy animals. Let's change our travel habits a little: stop at a brewery, get takeout, maybe hit up a local rec store or the vintage store. AND DON'T JUST LOOK, drop $20. Cool space that will soon have sidewalk open [Hello gov't , close off the block for a groovy town feel with the BBQ joint next door.] Aubrey is a chill owner who needs our help by DRINKING HER TASTY LIQUID BREAD. How fucking hard is that. Going back this week, to see if I can get a flight. And BTW, snarky MFers. lay off the mean reviews for a while. read more

Had the pleasure of checking out Crafty Canary this past Sunday. They have been in business for nine months and seem to be doing well. At the time, they only had three of their drafts available. We tried the IPA as well as the Blond. Both were tasty. I also had a Tequila based drink that was fantastic! Our bartender, Aubrey was an absolute joy! Knowledgeable on the area and great conversation all around. The atmosphere is nice. Good colors and elements give the interior a warm welcoming feeling. Lots of rustic and live edge pieces of wood. Bathrooms were very clean. The space is sort of divided up in two areas. It's kiddo friendly and can accommodate larger a group too. They have a few small snacks but you can bring your own food, which is always convenient. Check out this brewery with the adorable logo! read more

Great place, great beer, great atmosphere. Just moved to the area and I'm so glad to find this gem.

Aubrey and crew are personable, professional, knowledgeable, and fun. It's wonderful to see a small town bar with such focus on inclusivity and incorporating local offerings into their menu. The drinks are expertly crafted and always unique, and the food is great too! Live music, open mic, trivia, community events... Truly a must-stop business for anyone local or just passing through. read more

They only had three beers left on tap and the IPA was really good. The brown was not, but I would try it again and come back to try other beers they had to offer. read more

Between Trinidad and Pueblo, there aren't many places for food. We lucked out with The Crafty Canary Brewery. They don't have their own food, but they have menus from the town restaurants. The restaurants deliver to their door. We ordered a chicken salad on lettuce, and a blu cheese bacon burger from a restaurant across the street. I think it was called The Daily Perk. It was very good and quickly delivered. The beer was good and the company of the batendress was even better. We sat at the bar. Very nicely decorated. They also have bar drinks. We will be returning. read more

Very very very cute place. We went on the 2nd day of business so not everything was running perfectly, and that was understandable. Staff incredibly friendly. Our bartender made me a mean little peach cocktail. You will not be disappointed here. read more

Aubrey was such a treat with which to chat and spend an afternoon! Her passion for bringing life and light back into her hometown is inspiring to say the least. I would highly recommend the Crafty Canary brewery to anyone in the area! Also, so grateful for the vegan food options! read more

A great new gem to Walsenburg!! Friendly staff and fun environment. They brew their own beer but also have wine and cocktail options.

Great Brewery! Just passing through and noticed this off the main drag and not disappointed. Happy to support the only brewery in the county specially through the Rona times! read more
