Great brewery on the south end of town!! The beer and the staff are definitely the draw here. Def try the "Elevation" triple IPA but be careful as it packs 11.2%! Really cool shirts/ trucker hats as well.. ask for Busold! get dat did read more

Disappointment in Denver. They have some crazy brews advertised--just wish we'd liked them better. A little flat and malty, not my style, but kudos for trying some interesting flavor combos. read more

Great spot for an afternoon of beer tasting. I enjoyed many of the beers and the flight is a good way to try them all. I think there were 16 beers in the flight, I was pleasantly surprised with the Una Mas - Mexican style ale with poblano peppers. I normally dislike pepper beers, but this one had a very light spice & peppery flavor so it was actually quite enjoyable. If you don't to try the whole flight, you can order tastings of any of the beers for a dollar or two a piece. If you really like a beer, you can also get growlers and take some home. No food trucks on our visit, but they did have Denver Pretzel there selling cheesy jalapeño topped pretzels with green chile mustard. What goes better than that with beer? read more

I loves me a good beer and Renegade is happy to keep me stocked up on the good stuff. Cute atmosphere (but packed!). My favorite brew was the chile beer. Spice + Beer = awesomeness. Not quite as good as Billy's Chiles, but getting darn close. I'm a fan. read more

Renegade was the first brewery I went to in Denver, and it remains one of my favorites. The taproom staff is always super friendly and the beer is unique and delicious. I always end up here when Matt's Snack Shack is there, so while I'm sure there are other food trucks, that one is the best. On this occasion I had: 1. Strawberry Rhubarb Saison - great yeast funk and smooth fruit flavor on a hot summer day. 2. 5:00 with Lemongrass and Ginger, which barely tasted like beer, more like pure refreshment. 3. Ryetous (er wait, Redacted) which is one of my top ten favorite beers. 4. Half Coffee Oatmeal Ale, Half Imperial Stout, which was a lovely dessert-like pour. The standards are one of the best lineups in Colorado, and you never know what you'll get on the rotators. If you like beer, you will like Renegade. A lot. read more

Nice tasting. Enjoyed the strange flavors of pancake and maple beer and others. If your hungry there's a food truck outside. It's a small place with outdoor seating and indoor seating around the bar and some tables. read more

I love a great unique beer and let me tell you, this place has two. The Mexican amber and the Sunday Morning Coffee Ale were as unique and delicious as I could hope for. I had the sampler platter as I do in any brewery and all of the beers were rather delightful. One drawback of the place was the small setting, but the place was packed, the times were good and I reccomend anybody to go try for themselves a nice tall tasty one. read more

My girlfriend had a groupon for a sampler flight and a growler at Renegade. They do samplers right at Renegade, as in, you probably won't need to order much else: servings are a good size, and they bring out a whole bunch. Some of the samples were more exotic, like a dark beer with poblano. I usually like to stick with the hoppy IPAs or malty winters, and there were plenty of those. None of the samples I had was ZOMG-amazing-good, and but they were all tasty, and I have no complaints. There was also an awesome pretzel vendor there. Try the green chili mustard. read more

We had a great impromptu visit here on Sunday. It was my first visit, but Lacey and Bryan M had already sampled their beers, and with their endorsement, I was sold, We sat at the bar and were greeted immediately, and went right away for one of everything. They had a good variety of beers, I personally loved the Righteous Rye and the Sunday Morning, which is infused with coffee, yum! There were slices of premade pizza available for a nosh, and I hear tell there's often a food truck parked outside, although there wasn't on this particular day. The taproom is located in the Arts District, which is a great spot to be, and the room itself has a nice big bar and pretty good space. I will definitely be back for more of these brews. Cheers! read more

If you are going for the beer, you are going for the right reasons. Big, bold IPA. Adventurous barrel aged ales. If you like Coors Light, you won't be a big fan of your options at Renegade. But that's alright for me, 'cause I don't really like Coors Light. I am a bigger fan of bigger flavors. I can get my share of hoppy goodness at Renegade. read more

Okay, let me start off by saying, I'm not the biggest beer fan. I'm just starting to get a taste for it and it's taken me a long time to get to that point. On my most recent trip to Denver, my brother-in-law took me to Renegade because of their IPA selection. It's one of the few beers that I can tolerate and actually enjoy. My sister and I split a Co-Pilot flight that included their Summer Tan, Tarty McFly, Runaway IPA, a whiskey barrel aged brew (which I can't for the life of me remember the name), and Betnik. I was astonished to like them! They had a great selection to choose from besides the IPA's and their taproom is large enough to accommodate any size party. I would happily visit again on my next trip! read more

I've been to Renegade three times now, and each time has been great. The first we went in with our living social deal - a flight of beer and a growler. I enjoyed the flight and took a growler of Hammer & Sickle home which several friends of mine enjoyed later that night. The second time we went in for the Peanut Butter Cup Stout and a pretzel deal. Both times the service was a little slow, but the beer was delicious. My final trip in was just yesterday to pick up a growler. It was great to see the place in the spring - garage doors open, dogs out front. The place was packed and it was just about 5 on a Saturday. The husband and wife team that own the place weren't working, but they had three people working the bar. It seems that they have stepped up the service - in the 10 minutes I was there all three people offered to help me. I am excited to go back and try more of their beer, so far they are a welcome addition to the Denver beer scene. read more

I considered giving Renegade 4 stars for not having food, but lets be honest - they are sticking to what they are good at, or more accurately I should say GREAT at. Nice, laid back, with games to play and soooooooo many great beers to try. My fiance and I tried the whole menu!! I was not in love with just a couple of the beers, but all were very drinkable and so different! We spent the afternoon playing cards and trying beers. My only regret? I managed to lose the pint glasses we bought at our hotel :( My favorite brewery of our trip and I lost the glasses! Well, we will just have to make our way back next time!! I should add a couple of things - as we were leaving (we had gotten there just as they opened) a food truck was setting up (fixing my food complaint). The service was nice, easy, and friendly. AND the beers are extremely fairly priced. Perfect! read more

I've been here a few times, enough to see that they're constantly cycling through different beers. I came here about a month or two ago, and found two or three beers that I really liked (and with my picky tastes, that's saying something). I visited again yesterday, and they had gotten rid of all of them but one, the Hammer and Sickle imperial stout. That works out because it's my favorite of theirs. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and I'm told that the food truck that posts up outside has some really good eats. As long as they have something brown or stout on tap, I'll keep coming back for more. Check it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed! read more

Renegade is an amazing community brewery. Today they gave DPS teachers on strike free beers. Teachers love you Renegade.

I really like this place, has a great rotating selection and your standard year round beers. Yum!! My problem is with the staff over the last 6-8 months, it's hard to pull them away from their devices to provide good service and when you do they have attitude and can be really condescending to people unfamiliar with the menu, it's too bad. Tonight I was really disappointed with the staff while I sat at the bar. read more

I happened upon Renegade a while ago, not long after they opened. As of July 2012, Renegade is just over a year old -- and they're thriving at not doing what they're told. They are quick to tell you that their beers are, by design, offensively good. Renegade has quickly taken their position at the head of the pack of breweries in Denver that experiment with unexpected flavor combinations (almost all of them bold) to still create a beer that is not only palatable, but at least moderately sessionable and still quite pleasing. Every trip to Renegade starts with me thinking I'll get one beer, but instead getting a flight of several beers because, well, they're all just that good. Usually attended to by at least one food truck outside, Renegade is a fantastic stop any time I'm in the Santa Fe Arts District. Perfect for a pint during a First Friday stroll, or just a beer on an idle Tuesday, Renegade always does the trick. They have a great space, good staff, and new friends just waiting for you. read more

We came here after First Fridays last week because Husband wanted a beer after I dragged him through the art galleries. It was pretty loud and decently crowded, but was a Friday night. I didn't drink anything but Husband enjoyed his three samples of the dark gross beer that I don't like so much. I tried the Peanut Butter Stout but didn't get much peanut butter from it. He liked it though. There was a food truck outside which looked pretty awesome, and people had food inside that was clearly not from the brewery. I like when places allow you to bring in outside food. It seems like a decent place if you're going to drink (which obviously that's what most people are there for). It's kind of annoying to have to get up and get your own water, but I guess it's not a restaurant, so at least they have water! :) read more

Well, it's a cool brewery with excellent beer priced to sell. That part is great. But given it's popularity, the tasting room on the weekend acts like a can surrounding sardines. It's small. Very small. And with a lack of food or food truck (at least on the Friday night I went), that could spell trouble. The tasting room is a relatively new concept for me, I will admit that, but I would think comfort both of a physical and mental nature would be paramount. Renegade just isn't doing it for me at this moment. By all means, check this place out. But also check out Denver Beer Co in LoHi. Comfort via seating and food trucks nearby are offered in abundance. read more

What in the world? I haven't reviewed Renegade yet? 4 Stars! They usually have a beer on tap for everyone; beer snob, hipster, lightweight, or trash can. Renegade knows their fermentation. You won't see any 'special' nonsense beers that were clearly just a mistake. If you get hungry, trucks come, order in, or you can walk over to Santa Fe. I also especially enjoy the events Renegade participates in with other local businesses (like Marczyk's - had a great beer/cheese pairing event). read more

Renegade always has a pretty solid lineup of beers, but like a lot of places in Denver if you don't like IPA or hop forward beers your options might be slim depending on when you're there. Now that that's out of the way the taproom isn't much, very similar open beam modern warehouse look that a lot of the smaller spaces have but its not a bad thing, just doesn't stick out amongst the crowd. Small patio with large garage doors to let some sun and air in when they get busy. No TVs here but they have a rotating list of food trucks and some board games to keep you occupied. The real charm here is the neighborhood, right off Santa Fe in the arts and cultural district of Denver. Tons of galleries and random shops to check out as well as the very first VFW in existence. read more

Fun spot to take my dogs with. Beer is awesome , if you like IPAs. Nice that mid-summer they had mist spray around the tables outside. Wish they had food trucks available when we went . read more

We stopped in here for a beer flight and particularly enjoyed the Elevation Triple IPA, Redacted Rye IPA, and Hammer & Sickle Russian Imperial Stout. I was intrigued yet weary of the Beetnik Beet Saison, but it proved unique and surprisingly quite tasty, despite not being my preferred beer style. read more

Renegade Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Good place to hang out with friends on a Friday night. It was pretty busy because it was First Friday's Art Walk and they cleared out majority of the tables so most people were left standing. My major knock is that they served our beers out of plastic cups. You play $6+ for a beer in a plastic cup seems a bit off to me! Otherwise a good spot. read more

Who says there is nothing to do in the Art District if it isn't First Friday? Well, generally me but in this case I'm wrong. I've been to Renegade mostly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and there is always a laid back crowd of regulars and locals enjoying a beer. I had never been on a first Friday (or even really a weekend) until last week and should not have been surprised, it was packed. Really lively and so busy even before 6pm. Upside: It's a chill place, good atmosphere for an after work drink. They have growlers if you want to take your beer home for a party and clearly there are a lot of regulars because I always see people getting their growlers filled. The menu is ever changing with different portion sizes and flavors. Downside: No food since it is strictly a brewery but they make up for it with alternating food trucks parked right outside. If you're worried about parking, there is a dirt lot across the street, sure you probably shouldn't park there but I haven't had any problems. read more

I love the vibe of this place, especially in the summer. The Depravity Imperial Peanut Butter Stout is some of the best beer I've ever had. I also love the Redacted Rye IPA. read more

Very solid, friendly place. Beers weren't to my taste, but I'd return to try others. There are no tv's. Amen, someone gets it. read more

Renegade is in a pretty cool area on Santa Fe. It's also one of my favorite drinking holes in Denver. The bartenders are all super awesome and very nice. The regulars that frequent the bar are friendly. This taproom also seems to attract a decent amount of tourists from all over the US/world. Renegade has some great staple beers, and some fun seasonal beers to try when you come in as well. *Renegade is very dog-friendly, so bring your pup. One thing that I appreciate about renegade is the lack of television. They typically have some music playing, but nothing too crazy or too loud. There are also board games available to use, and free WiFi. If your're hungry, there are typically food trucks cooking outside, or you are welcome to bring food in or have it delivered to the bar. *RENEGADE IS NO LONGER DOG FRIENDLY. THANKS, DENVER! read more

How do you describe a storefront with an open-air bar, a different food truck on the curb every night, dogs freely greeting patrons, beer everywhere, and their own stills looming over all in the back? I, frankly, call it "awesomesauce." (Review may be slightly influenced by the fact that the bartender stared at my ID for quite some time. Yeah man, I really AM almost 33. I can't believe it either.) read more

The Elevation (triple IPA) is amaaazing. And I am not exaggerating. The service is great - they're all friendly. If you like hops (like I do), I highly recommend this place. It's easy to get to from the cherry creek trail, and there is bike parking right out front. read more

I'd give this place 5 stars, but they don't have a gluten free option. My boyfriend and all of our friends LOVE this place, and their beer, but unfortunately for myself and other gluten free people, it makes it hard to come hang out. Even if they don't brew a gluten free option, it would make it 5 star worthy to at least stock a gluten free option. read more

Renegade Brewing - A Pilot and Co-pilot flight shared between friends. - Breweries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Located in a cool neighborhood. That's about it. Depressing atmosphere similar to a frat house garage space. And pretty slow service. I'm sure the beer is good if you're lucky enough to get the one bartenders attention. read more

Awesome beer (my favorite in Denver so far) friendly and attentive staff, and great background music!

We stopped in Denver on our cross country road trip and it was our first stop. The bartenders were friendly and the beer was good. Our favorites were the Runaway and Summer Tan. We both left with a 6 pack of both. Highly recommend! read more

Had a tasting flight of brews from Renegade and loved it. The quality of all of the beers was great, and at between 6-11% ABV, a flight of 8 tastes puts you in a very nice place! I love how they partner with food trucks, and I appreciate what Renegade is doing for the neighborhood. Cheers to Renegade! read more

I raise my glass to these guys. I got surprisingly inebriated off of 5 tasters...wait nevermind, I just remembered that I was swigging liquor while deciding where to go for the night...no wonder... But anyways, the beers were all well crafted. I remember a brutally bold elevation IPA, a barleywine of sorts that tasted like bell peppers (which was really refreshing, especially when the beer contained well over 11% alcohol), and another beer that tasted like smokey poblano peppers. I admired that these guys were able to brew solid tasting beers that tasted like peppers, and while I enjoyed the ride, I will probably stick with their IPA in the future (only because I'm not a huge lover of those peppers). However, I would definitely show this place off to visitors. read more
