We like stouts, therefore we like Verboten Brewing. It's that simple. "Darkness" bourbon-barrel aged Irish coffee stout is really good. "Darkness Cellar Reserve" is fantastic, and well worth the extra dollar. Both are STRONG beers and strongly suggest you limit yourself to no more than 2. Ask me how I know! We haven't tried all their stouts yet, so I am not recommending the Darknesses above any others - yet. They don't serve food here, but their neighbors do, and it's pretty cool. You can scan a QR code on your table and order food delivered. The cool part is, they know exactly which table to bring it to - the QR code is that specific. Nice use of tech! read more

Happened to show up on their 12th birthday, and they were really crowded. We tried a splash of a few things and both ended up with a pint of the It's All in The Grind coffee porter. It was fine but not sure I'd rush to get it again. read more

This is always a must do! Verboten makes wonderful beers and uses local ingredients to do it. If you find yourself in Loveland, do yourself a favor and stop in for a brew. Make sure to try the barrel aged offerings. Their taproom is in the downtown part of Loveland. There is street parking. They have a rotation of food trucks that come throughout the week. On this occasion we were coming from lunch so we just enjoyed the beverages. read more

Probably the best gluten free pizza crust in town! IPA wasn't bad either Music a little too loud for me but I'm sure they'd turn it down if I asked read more

There is no shortage of great breweries around the front range, but this one stands out from the crowd. The core beers are always well made, and true to the "Barrel Project" portion of the name, they always have a couple very impressive aged offerings. The small taproom is cool and service friendly. No food, but several places nearby with good takeout and some even will bring the food over. read more

Love to find places that love making good beer. Wife dragged me out antique shopping, so happy to find this place on our way home. Great selection of dark beers, bartender knew her stuff and was attentive and helpful. Jealous of the locals in the place, had a great vibe too. read more

By far the best brewery in Loveland. I've had their beer a few times at beer fests and been to their location a handful of times now. I've never been disappointed with the beers. Had the Mexican hot chocolate stout today and it's a perfect warm up for a chilly February afternoon! Service is always amazing as well P.s. if they have the peanut butter beer on tap, do yourself a favor and get it. Best beer I've had in a LONG time read more

Verboten Brewing - two glasses of beer - Breweries Near Me - Loveland, Colorado

I've always enjoyed Verboten's beer, though this was the first time I got to check out their taproom. It was great! The staff was really friendly and the beer was cold--as an added bonus, I learned you can order Comet Chicken on your phone from the taproom (QR codes are provided) and have it delivered right to your table! Score! Thinking of Something Orange is a deliciously citrusy, light beer that paired well with my veggie Bahn mi sandwich from Comet. It also paired well with sitting in the sunshine. What's nice about Verboten is their garage-door style storefront which allowed us to take in the fresh air though we were still technically inside and the patio was full. I'm glad I got a chance to check out this Loveland gem on a beautiful day! read more

Nice location and good music. Dog friendly. Beer was great, had the IPAs, highly recommend.

So hands down, Verboten is my favorite craft brewery in Loveland and in the top 5 for northern Colorado! The beer is superb and award winning! Especially when they drop their barley wines and barrel Aged ales! Few can rival what they have going on! As far as flagships, Stealth Haze and TOSO (Thinking Of Something Orange) are must try's. Cake or death barrel Aged stout is insanely good but isn't always on tap because of the time it takes to age it and the popularity. So if you see it, order it and then thank me ;) read more

Verboten Brewing - Disco is life!!! - Breweries Near Me - Loveland, Colorado

Three words for you: S'mores. Cream. Ale. You heard me; it's called "Then You Roast the Mallow" and you need to try it - like now. You really need to know more about Verboten Brewing? Okay, fine. Here goes: Verboten Brewing has been on my radar since 2015 when I met the Head Brewer at Collaboration Fest! I rarely find myself in Loveland; so it's taken me 3 years to make my way to their awesome taproom! Seeking to do a little post-hike Loveland Brew-venture my fellow brewery goer and I made Verboten Brewing our first stop! SPACE/VIBES: Where do I even begin?! There's so much to love. Exposed brick everywhere. A private tasting room. Small dog-friendly patio out front. Great decor. Plus a killer selection of merch! I def left with a sweater. Not to mention all the super friendly regulars. Oh, and there's ample parking in the area. Yay! BEERTENDERS: Friendly AF! Upon checking my ID he put together that my last name was a style of beer. He joked and said I, "must get that all the time." In reality - I don't. After spending roughly five years in the Colorado brewery scene he was the first to make that association. Ha! We had a good laugh over that one. He made great conversation throughout our visit and was very attentive to all the brewery's patrons. BREWS: Upon browsing the menu, I was really stoked. Seriously, such a killer line up! There was a variety if IPAs, Blondes, Kolschs, and more. We both opted for full pours of Then You Roast the Mallow, a collaborative brew with The Hop Grenade in Fort Collins. It was lighter than most s'more-esque brews I've had and a touch sweeter. I also grabbed a small sample of the Angry Banjo a Kentucky Common they have on tap regularly. Def something to try, though I doubt I would have a full pour of it, just not my style. BITES: While they don't offer a kitchen of their own; they do have more options than most breweries for those hungry bellies. Various popcorns, cheese boards, pretzels, chips and salsa are just a few of their offerings. Verboten Brewing DEF exceeded my expectations. I will be making my way back next time I'm in the Loveland area and you should too! Cheers! read more

Great bartenders and fun experimental brews. Food is available from nearby restaurants. We walked next door to get "eat in" chicken, and just carried in over to the brewery. The "Thinking of Something Orange" Wheat AND "Tres Nueces" colab aged stout with nuts etc were both very good and cost about 3 bucks each. I'd return for sure if i lived in the area. read more

I don't usually drink beer( I know, I know) but when I do, I make sure to try cool flavors and this place has the best "holiday beer flavor" of my life, it was good on thanksgiving and it will be good for the rest. Very apple cidery, pumpkin spicey , you know?! All in one beer and it work, at least for me. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Also, they have delicious stouts ( their stouts fly was amazing) if you are into that kind of fun thing ;) read more

Best lineup and quality of beer across the board. The list goes from light and easy drinking lager styled brew all the way to Double IPA and the heavy hitter Stouts!

Great beer and fun atmosphere! It is nice that you can order from other restaurants in the area for food delivery.

*Best beer in Loveland, hands down.* The creative, out-of-the-box brews combined with a friendly and knowledgeable staff makes Verboten THE brewery to visit. I always get the Stealth Haze, (juicy IPA) or the Fat Guy in the Little Coat, (hoppy lager). Verboten is fewer than 30 steps from great restaurants and two other great breweries which makes the place a perfect first stop for your Friday night bar-hopping adventure. To not visit Verboten is to not visit Loveland. read more

Verboten Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Loveland, Colorado

Verboten is a cool spot in Loveland and technically it's the only place we stopped at in Loveland, but whatever. There is a decent amount of indoor seating as well as a small patio out front. The tasting room is on the small side but I doesn't feel that way. Some of the beers we've had include "I'm a Pickle". This beer is so interesting! I loved this one! A pickle beer with cucumber juice and additional spices. So unique and tasty! Two Fives American IPA and German Chocolate Cake are also very good. I couldn't have too much of the GCC one though, as my body doesn't handle milk stouts very well. The beertender was okay. She did her job but didn't try to interact with us much. Every single patron gave us the side-eye, I guess we had "Chicago suburbanites" written on our foreheads. I could feel every eye on me when we left. Not a very welcoming vibe in this brewery which is unfortunate because I do love their beer and the spot itself is very chill. Regardless of that, I definitely plan to stop back again. I hope next time the experience is better. read more

We stopped in for a quick beer while waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant. It's in a great location in downtown Loveland and they had lots of options! The bartender was super friendly and helpful with recommendations, we tried the Orange Blossom Honey Wheat (Thinking of Something Orange) and loved it! The place has a great open concept with plenty of seating for its size; they were advertising a comedy night which we weren't able to attend, but we are always on the lookout for places and events just like that. We will be back for sure! read more

Continuing our brewery tour in Loveland, CO, we stopped at Verboten. First of all, super cool name (means forbidden in German I think?). Also, thought it was cute that they were playing reruns of Cheers in the bar (get it??). They have a new rotating draft called The Tiramisu Little Nonsense, oatmeal imperial stout. It's a whopping 11 %, and deliciously sweet. One is the easiest stouts to drink. I also really liked the Roll in Ze Blueberries, a 5.2% sour gose. It is not overpowering with the blueberry flavor, but definitely makes you pucker! I like sours, so I would definitely get this beer again. They also have bingo occasionally, and trivia once a week. It's a really fun place to check out in downtown Loveland. read more

Best beer I had in loveland. Tons of seating inside outside or go up to the rooftop seating. I'd go back if in the area.

If you Waze, it will take you to the old address. Either manually type in the new address or use Google maps. My buddy and I were driving around in the dark and were confused until he pulled up Googlemaps on his phone and off we went to the new place! It was dark, but the brewery is easy to find, right off the street. Great beer and atmosphere...one the great things about the place? You can "can" your favorite beer (32oz?) and take it home without not needing to bring your growler. Pretty good atmosphere and décor, even better beer! I liked the IPA that I brought home a "can." A bit out of the way in Loveland, but if in the area, drive out and visit, it's worth it, you will not be disappointed. read more

This is our favorite brewery in the Loveland area. They always have a great selection of beers and although they don't offer food, it can be ordered with a QR code at each table and delivered right to you from nextdoor restaurants in a few minutes. Staff is friendly and the vibe is laid-back. They have regular comedy nights in their barrel room for $7, as well as trivia nights. read more

Amazing local brewery! Very nice staff and recommend for anyone visiting the area. I tried the monster cookie v2 stout, and it was very sweet and accurately described. read more

We started our brewery tour of Loveland here and it was a great start! They have a lengthy tap list (16!) with a wide variety of styles. Lots of varied seating, including patio, and a large side room. The only complaint I have is the type of chairs they have, which are VERY common these days. They are so uncomfortable. Please get more comfortable chairs or at least chairs with no arms. The tap room manager was a true delight to speak with. My two favorites were the Somebody to Love Brut IPA (they were the first to brew a Brut in CO and this one is sooooo good) and the Mountain Man. I would come back for these two alone. Cool space, friendly people, delicious beers, what more could you ask for? read more

On my most recent Fort Collins/Loveland brewery tour, I made sure to poke my head into Verboten Brewery since I met one of their reps at GABF this past year and wanted to support their endeavor. VB is tucked away in an industrial area, which most breweries seem to be these days. Tiny, but welcoming, VB can hold probably a few dozens people, so be prepared to get cozy with your neighbors. As any good beer lover should do upon trying a new brewery, my friend and I ordered up their flight sampler. Everything was pretty solid, especially since they've only been open for a week! My favorite was the French Kiss and the stout. I'm not a fan of IPAs, but the IPA drinkers around me thought theirs was a good start, but could be hoppier. I really enjoyed my visit to Verboten! The small staff was warm, friendly, and welcoming! And they were already connecting with local food trucks, as there was a grilled cheese truck outside tempting my Wisconsin taste buds, which is always a happy pairing in the beer-food truck world. Be sure to venture up to Verboten soon! I know I can't wait to see what else they'll be brewing! read more

Love Verboten. All of their beers are always on point. I especially love the Caramel Porter. Summer flavors are probably the best, but never really a bad choice.

Verboten brewery is an excellent new contender along the front range. With interesting things to try like the traditional oatmeal stout alongside the oatmeal stout aged in bourbon barrels, you definitely will not be bored here. Caramel porter, orange blossom honey wheat, Lemongrass wit, Belgian Trippel made with Pear Puree, everything here is firing on all cylinders. I really can't wait to get back and see what other kinds of interesting beers they put together! read more

Colorado is such a phenomenal place. I grew up here and am constantly amazed at all the microbrews that we have to choose from. There is nothing better than spending an afternoon exploring a new beer menu. After being reminded about Verboten thanks to a recent Sunset magazine article, the hubs and I made it a point to come ASAP. The tasting room is small but tastefully decorated and we found a couple spots at the bar. After some deliberation, I decided on the Thinking of Something Orange, Five Second Frencher, As You Wish and the Chicory Midnight Espresso on nitro. The hubs ordered Killer Boots, Chicory Midnight Espresso, Nuclear Apocoliss and As You Wish. The beers were unique and aggressive in ingredients however the assertive flavors of orange, lemon and raspberry were milder than we were expecting and more an after taste. My husband enjoyed the Killer Boots and I liked the Thinking of Something Orange. I had been expecting a bit more orange notes. A garnish of orange would have been a nice addition to bring out the flavors a touch more. The service was spot on and really friendly. We did find the four tasters to be a touch more expensive than other microbrews but do understand for craft beers there is more that goes in and we wish the company nothing but the best! read more

Excellent beer in a variety of styles. Like that they now also offer hard seltzer so I can bring friends that don't enjoy beer. Friendly environment and cleans bathrooms. Just wish that they had some cheaper snacks or even some free popcorn! Over all it's a lovely downtown establishment that we will definitely come back to time and time again! read more
