I've been drinking here for 7 years now and this place still hasn't lost its magic. It's truly a…read moreunique concept housed in a gigantic building with multiple areas to drink, eat, play, and more. Bierstadt is a lager only brewery. They only have a few beers on the menu! Of course there are variations like a Michelada, house cocktails, wines, NA options, etc. The difference between producing lagers and ales is MASSIVE, and I tip my cap to everyone involved in crafting beers that have put Denver on the map. The Slow Pour Pils is one of three beers that I would consider the unofficial beer of Denver. It takes five minutes to pour, is served in a custom made glass (really cool story behind this), and has the perfect floating foam (like a cloud) sitting perfectly atop the beer. I crushed two of their Italian Pilsners yesterday. This is simply a fantastic beer. The Helles and Dunkel surely are not to be missed. But do one thing, get their Oktoberfest when it comes out (usually around mid September). It's one of the best I've ever had. There's a lot of stories inside this building. The legendary pieces of equipment, the unique brewing methods, the different spaces to hang out, etc. There's a reason Bierstadt has been tapped as the brewery "where the brewers go." To me, they can never receive a higher compliment. I'm really glad they're still kicking after celebrating their 10th anniversary. Almost a teenager!!! It's always fun visiting this place. This is a Denver must when it comes to breweries. You might not summit a 14er at this particular Bierstadt, but you'll find some of the best traditionally brewed beers in the country.

Loved listening to the bands, and exploring the huge space. They have olllllld school pinball game, giant jenga, gigantic cornhole, trash can sized beer pong, and ladder ball (normal size). They also have an original Nintendo with Mario. Seating a little tricky, be careful sitting on the benches, they move in odd ways. But loved the tables and chairs upstairs with the perfect view of the stage! Service was my only complaint- I think the first guy at the bar was having a hard time because they were so busy. I waited at the bar for a while without being acknowledged, then by the time he did finally notice me he just held up a finger. Finally a chick came over and took my order, but it took a while. She was perfectly nice, however, and it wouldn't stop me from returning or recommending them. The helles was a decent German beer with a good depth of flavor- I would come back and try their other beers for sure. Highly highly recommend and will absolutely be back for other events! Bring back emo night please!

They have a small outside/side patio. I've come here many times for events, as this is a good place to accommodate a group. There usually aren't food trucks in the times I've been here in the past, which is ok you just have to plan for getting food elsewhere, and there's plently to choose from in the general area. They do also have a few non-beer options, but not hard alcohol or wine, so just know what to expect if there's a non-beer drinker in the group. The beer tastes best right from the tap of the maker!

We got a few things to share: the wings with the jalapeño siracha sauce, the cheesesteak, the pizza roll and the buffalo chicken wrap.

We were greeted and served by the bartender Junebug and although it seemed like he was the only staff, he was friendly and attentive with us and all the patrons. The beer was great, there were so many great options to choose from and so we had some of the IPAs, lagers and ales. Staying true to the name, the decor has a woodsy feel and the handles are made of various wood shapes. It was nice to see that they also offer some mixed drink options, margaritas, and a slushy option. There were some salty snacks available for purchase which was also a nice option to have. Happy Hour M-F 3-6pm with $5 pints. The place and restrooms were clean (two singles), there were some canned beers and merch items available for purchase, an outdoor patio and plenty of street parking. Overall the service and place were great! Some things to mention, having the live band was great and the place is dog and kid friendly which are also a nice option to have at any venue. But the volume of the jazz band was just a bit too loud for the space and together with the many small kids playing and running around took away from this being a relaxing day. Nonetheless, the bartender Junebug made it an overall enjoyable evening after the kids left and we closed off the evening with another great brewery find that we'll be sure to visit again.

I'm not sure if I would have ended up here had I not been taking the bus; however, BSB was a solid spot nonetheless. Since we were here anyway, we figured we would grab dinner. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, the garlic nots, and a few slices. I love a place that does pizza by the slice, especially when it's just two people. They obviously have plenty of beer choices and a full bar, plus they did have one NA beer option (not brewed by them). The food was good. Service was spot on. The Brussels sprouts were probably the highlight. This certainly was not the best pizza I have ever had, but I found nothing to fault it for either. Pretty cool place to grab a drink and a slice. Certainly worth it if you're meeting the bus here, but could also be worth the visit if you're in the area and craving pizza.

It has many cool music memorabilia like CDs, pictures etc that we enjoyed looking at and talking about. They have a nice beer garden in the back with plenty of seating and a small stage. We sat inside though due to it being hot and sunny the day we were there. They also have a small case of to go cans. Their tanks are also to the side so you can see their brewing process while you have a beer! I also saw signs for fun events like bus to red rocks concerts, trivia and live music.

I honestly had no idea Blue Moon produced such a wide variety of beers, and it was a blast getting to try so many of them in one place. If you're anywhere nearby, this brewery is an absolute must-visit. And don't skip the gift shop--there are plenty of fun Blue Moon goodies to bring home. Highly recommended.
