Came from California. New Belgium brewery recommended Ratio, but it sucked! We were the only Mexicans. When we wanted to close out they dissed us and only had 1 "cashier" available. We were sitting indoors, right in front of them. The whole time they had 2 girls and 1 guy... but as soon as we closed out they only had one guy.... they saw us waiting on one side to close up and the girls left. We've been to TRVE, First draft, new Belgium, 10 barrel, Odell etc and they have been FRIENDLY!!! Never felt unwelcome. Even the Uber/Lyft drivers were nice. NEVER recommending RATIO! read more

This is actually one of my favorite breweries in Denver! I think their beers are fantastic and I love their space. My favorite is the French saison. It's easy to drink and I love the light fruity notes. It's dry and not hoppy. Different than other saisons I've had an I love it. The last time I was there I also had their Oktoberfest and I loved it! A little darker but not heavy at all. I really enjoy their patio and the misters when it's a hot day! And there are always cute dogs!! read more

Hardcore Punk Happy Hour and great beers. Nuff said. Nuff said. Nuff said. Love minimum character requirements on these reviews.

Awesome brewery with super fun patio. Not only are their beers fantastic but they are great people who support their local artists. Highly recommend! read more

We came here based on a recommendation from our tour guide and we were glad we did. We got a flight and every single beer was absolutely delicious. I wish I could've got the 6pk of King of Carrot Flowers to bring home. Ratio was our favorite brewery in Denver! Definitely check it out! read more

UPDATE! I stopped in to help ring in Ratio Beerworks's 2nd anniversary this past weekend! Talk about awesome! Every visit to Ratio just makes me love them even more! Here's just a few reasons why: ++ Love, love, LOVE the staff. They are just about the friendliest "beer tenders" I have met. Not to mention they are on top of your empty glasses and making sure you aren't going without. Despite the large amount of people present for their weekend festivities they totally maintained their cool and poured up beers like a boss! ++ They always have a slew of great events happening from trivia nights, barrel room acoustic sets (or comedy events), to vinyl swap nights, beer releases, and great pairings! Follow them on Facebook to get all the event updates and check out their website for a calendar of food trucks to nosh from. ++ The beer! Duh! I got to sample the Novo Hold Steady and the Loveless this past weekend. Both were AMAZING!! When you show up to a brewery at 11 am, you feel like you should be having a cup of coffee, not a beer. Well Novo Hold Steady combines cold brew coffee with one of their staple brews! And it's delish to say the least. ++ The space is great. They have a concrete counters/table-tops, great comfy seating at the bar, copper chairs, and a variety of seating styles for you "sitting and sipping" pleasure. They have a fantastic patio area (complete with bag toss/corn hole) to take advantage of the warmer Colorado winter days! Did I mention they have a photobooth? Oh yeah, well there's that too! ++ A great selection of merchandise available for purchase! And of course growlers to take home your favorite brews to share (or horde from) with others. I'm telling you... Ratio is top notch on the Denver brewery scene. Why are you still reading this review?! Grab some friends, head on down to Ratio, and check it out for yourself! read more

Our friends took us to this spot after a Rox game and Ian's Pizza. It was quite the walk, but worth it. This whole area seems industrial, but has several cool drinking holes. Lots of communal seating on the inside and a cool outdoor area with games to play (mainly corn hole). There's also a photobooth for $5, which is always fun to do with friends whilst drunk. I tried a few of their beer options and enjoyed them all! read more

I don't typically rate places low! Unfortunately I was completely ignored here for the bartenders SO. I would not recommend this place unless you have TONS of time on your hand and don't mind being ignored for quite a while. Beer was half decent. Service was abysmal. read more

Sparks fly (juicy hazy IPA) might be one of the best beers in Denver. Unbelievably well done!

I did not find my diner in Denver, but I definitely found my brewery. I tried it in other place during dinner, and right after went to Ratio. It was the best move for that night. Music, talks, and wonderful beer. read more

Not a bad place - plenty of seating, fairly quick service and you line up to order instead of vying for service randomly at the bar. We were able to grab 2-for-1 pours with our Denver Passport. (I love this program because it gets you out of your normal bubble and experiencing places you may not otherwise check out!) I appreciated the strawberry brew, which was tart instead of sweet and quite enjoyable. My guy had a darker brew which was still light and quite a lovely flavor. Will we return? Probably! read more

Poor service. Multiple employees rude to our group for no apparent reason as we ordered.

With some solid variety, nice staff, and wildly affordable full pours this place was decent. I wasn't a huge fan of the beers that I tried, but they were brewed well for the type of beers I tried. Worth popping into. read more

Stopped by for a beer on their dog friendly patio (love I can bring my pooch!). Super nice staff and the outdoor space is great- the patio does a really good job of social distancing. Their beers are excellent- most recently enjoyed Sparks Fly and Cityscapes, and as always, Dear You. Note: they're adding more "outdoors" space by putting up a big event tent out front. read more

Ratio is a fun stop in a brewery heavy section of Denver. Or is that every section of Denver?? I wouldn't know the difference. I was only there a couple days and passed by SO many pretty breweries. My heart. But anyway, if you're in the area and drink beer, you should check out Ratio. I was so enamored with the themed set up and was happily snapping a bunch of photos when some hipster guy decided to make a wise crack about it. Don't hate on my photo skills, hipster guy. Thanks. Anyway again...I had a flight here and recommend you do the same. - New Wave (Strawberry Berliner Weisse): I gave this one 4.75 stars on Untappd. It was GOOD. Very drinkable. - Hold Steady (Scotch Ale): Good, not phenomenal. - Major Nights (Lime Gose): Also highly rated by yours truly. - Dear You (Saison): My least favorite, but still not bad. read more

Not bad, this was our 3rd brewery before heading back to the airport to catch a flight. The place was pretty empty aside from maybe 1-2 tables. The bartender let us try a few from the menu before we decided on a pint. I wouldn't mind chilling in the side patio if the weather was warmer. read more

This is a very nice indoor and outdoor place for some good local draft brews and awesome mural art... read more

Not a bad place. Some of the beers are a little weird for me personally. Love the photo booth, events like in house music sessions, wrestling, etc. Rotating food truck as is the norm around here. Bar staff is nice. Anywhere from six to nine beers available usually. Depending on the season they may have a special limited beer too. Stop in here with friends. Good atmosphere but it isn't necessarily my go to bar. Worth a visit! read more

Ratio is the brewery for the cool kids. They have a solid list of core beers. I like the Hold Steady with coffee. There's a nice-sized yard with lawn games. There's a snack machine and often a food truck outside. If you bring your own snacks, the friendly staff will gladly loan you a knife or utensil if you forgot yours. The tap room is spacious and trendy. Beers are inexpensive. They host fun events like comedy & music. That's pretty cool. read more

They have some unique name of there beer. Order a fight with ipa and fruity beer. I would say love their loveless sour beer. This is the one I'll recommend to people who like sour beer. The interior of this brewry is awesome. Give you a nice warm feeling. There is a outdoor seating. Came here at night time after dinner. Nice place to come by. read more

Love mostly all of the ratio beer, especially the carrots one and the lime goze. The stout was also very tasty. They can also do flights where you can taste several different beers. Definitely prepare to wait though on weekends. read more

This place rocks great vibes and good beer! Nice American pale at a good price this place is going places!

Wow! Loved their "New Wave" strawberry berliner weisse. The light sour and beautiful pink color was nice on the eyes and taste buds. Energy was upbeat and lively. The music was hard rock/metallic (at least when we were there). They also had ice cream there in different flavors to presumably add to your drink or eat normally., Guys behind the bar were great with helping us figure out what we wanted. It was a really nice place to hang out on a pleasant Sunday afternoon. I hope they grow enough to start bottling their brew! read more

Awesome brewery! Great space. Indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor space was pretty large, with ample benches and cornhole available for entertainment. It was an insanely hot day so they had a good number of misters going. The bartenders were super friendly and efficient. I only tried the Raspberry Saison but it was delicious! Highly recommended. read more

Just a great little taproom in RiNo. We stumbled upon this gem when Our Mutual Friend closed for the evening and we heard that this place was open an hour later. The beertenders were friendly and knowledgeable. We sampled all the beers they had available. They don't get too "weird" with their beers here. Just a lot of good, true-to-style brews. The space is great. Plenty of street parking. Good beer. What more could you want? read more

I my opinion some of the best ales and stouts in the city. Occasionally you can find a scotch ale here. I enjoyed a flight of their whiskey ales and stouts. The silhouette beer is a raspberry Belgian dark by far my favorite here! So smooth and refreshing can easy get chocolate wasted off this one. Great customer service, good prices and beer overall! read more

Came here before a Rockies game with my girlfriends and it was perfect pregame spot. I'm not a huge beer person but both the strawberry wiesse & ipa I had were good. Also huge shoutout to James, the bartender, for being attentive and kicking out the creepy guy that was sexually harassing my friend! read more

Ratio Beerworks - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Ratio has always been an awesome spot for beer in Denver. I never neglect to bring a friend from out of town to this place! Beer is great, always changing things up, the aesthetic is modern/cool, and I have never met someone working here that isn't super chill and helpful with any questions/anything you need. I had Ashley as a server tonight and she was so cute and nice! We moved inside when it got kind of chilly outside and she was more than happy to accommodate us and emphasized that she would be around if we needed anything else. Very down to earth and friendly, so I'm super excited to go back next time. Thank you Ratio and Ashley for a great night, especially during covid and everything else going on in the world..it was much appreciated! read more

Talk about starting things out right! At least for me, Ratio Beerworks' opening days show that they are a very polished operation. A seasoned professional is at the helm of their brew house; no beginners here! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is that I've only been once and can't truly give 5 stars unless the performance is consistent. There's another brewery whose rating I'm going to update because they just haven't held up...anyway... Beer! That's why we're here, right??? The night I was there (their fourth day open), they had 5 beers on tap. All of the beers were what I'd call traditional styles - nothing funky, like a pumpkin peach ale:-p Each one was very well done and true to style. Domestica, an American Blonde, Dear You, a French Saison, Repeater, an American Pale, Hold Steady, a Scotch ale and my personal favorite, and Genius Wizard, a Russian Imperial Stout. Maybe the RIS wasn't as big and RIS-ey tasting as it should have been, but it was still a huge RIS and hid its 11% AVB quite well! I think starting out traditional was a good move on their part. I'm sure they'll move into more experimental beers, but it's probably best for them to get to know the brew equipment first. Location. They are located in the super hip RiNo (River North) district. It's still fairly industrial, but is quickly being converted to lofts, breweries, bars, and restaurants. Their neighbors are Epic Brewing, The Source (with Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project), Our Mutual Friend Brewing, and soon, Great Divide. The taproom. Well done and inviting. Great colors and lighting. Very artistic and thought out, not just thrown together. I'm looking forward to the summer when they can open the three big garage doors and enjoy the patio! I'm thoroughly looking forward to my next visit to Ratio Beerworks; I can't wait to see what they have in store! read more

Friend: "how'd you get a brewery to reserve you space on a Saturday night?" Me, feeling a little like Beyonce: *brushes shoulders off* I chose Ratio to have a little gathering as a post-birthday celebration ("I'm getting old.. wahh wahh... but beer!"). I called, hoping to reserve some space and Sarah (thanks, Sarah + management!), worked with me to set aside a table for me. I found everyone to be so helpful and it made my first experience at Ratio a stellar one. The space is large and dynamic, with plenty of seating and long tables - typical of breweries, and of course, the beers were fantastic. I think I had a little bit of all because you know, I get around when it comes to malty, hoppy bevs, and we all had a great time. Thank you. read more

They're open for outdoor drink in ;)! Our favorite was "out for blood" - we even got it to go in a 6 pack!!!! It is a very refreshing, blood orange flavored beer that features actual fruit juice. As for the service, it's great. We had two girl servers with shorter blonde hair and they were super sweet. read more

Ratio is quaint. Small beer list and they got mad when I tried to sit out front on the fake grass with my dog. I had to move to the side where it was much less shaded and a lot warmer. Wasn't comfortable over there. And I don't get it. It's fake grass, it's literally what most dog parks are made out of. Anyway, the beers were good. I had the domestica and the carrot lavender beer. But the issue with the dog makes me not want to go back when it's hot out. read more

This brewery was recommended to us by a local so we figured we would have a great time! Unfortunately, the bar staff kind of ruined the amazing ambience this place gives off. The bartender that served us just seemed like we were such an issue to serve like he had somewhere else he wanted to be. I asked a few questions about the beers on tap and he basically just told me what their menu said... thanks, buddy I can read. It just really turned us off from this place immediately because we went straight to the bar as we walked in. The atmosphere of the brewery was very inviting and fun. We sat on the patio and really enjoyed their outside area. They allow dogs (always a plus), had cornhole/bags set up, an amazing mural painted on the side of their wall, and several picnic tables for sitting. It would have been a great place to spend some time at but we drank our one beer- that we were not that impressed by and left. Cheers! read more

Ratio Beerworks is a brewery for even non-beer drinkers. First the place is so warm and cozy in the winter time. Plus they allow you to bring in dogs. How cool is that? I also noticed it stays open later during the week compared to other nearby breweries. I'm not a beer drinker at all. But I will say they had a few gateway beers for folks like me. Silhouettes and Dear You were lighter beers with fruity accents. I enjoyed those. They also had IPAs and Stouts for the beer connoisseur. I think everyone in our party was pleased with the visit. They also have a food truck outside too if you get hungry. They had menus inside so you didn't have to go out in the cold to check out the menu. So smart with the little details. The vibe is so chill and laid back. Oh yeah, they had beer to go and had Kombucha on hand too. #swoon read more

This is a brewery place that needs attention. The bets are another level. Focus, to me, is saison. They don't focus on boring. I appreciate it, totally! Great work! I've been a few times and enjoy it read more
