We stopped by on a Sunday evening looking for a spot to relax before heading out of town. We stopped by with the dog and were pleasantly surprised to arrive at a good time for some live jazz music. 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. read more

that CZECH DAM PILSNER, I tell ya! I am in a weekly church group where we meet up in different breweries for a couple of hours and engaging discussions. Only in Colorado, home of The Great American Beer Festival, right? That said, this place has always been one of our favorite places. The staff is friendly and has even remembered me, though I'm the rarest of regulars with my group. There always seems to be multiple meetups happening, but the space is big enough to accommodate, especially when it's warm for the little front patio. Even with the noise of people, it's still comfortable to talk and have a great time. For a party of two or a get down and party to raise good cheer, this is a terrific and TASTY place to tip one back! read more

Nice little brewery...popped in to check out their selection. They only had one stout on draft. It was decent but not amazing. Tried a couple of the IPAs and didn't love them. Ended with one of their canned IPAs. It was decent as well. Just wish they had a better selection on tap. However the staff was friendly! read more

Always great brews & views. One of my ultimate favorite breweries. I had to drop back in and catch (sip) a flight..... If a Colorado lodge and a craft temple had a love child, it would be Woods Boss Brewing and currently is giving Christmas cabin energy and I'm absolutely here for it. The service is always impeccable here. The vibes are always chill just like the amazing beer that pours out the drafts. read more

Yes I will admit we were event crashers. Well, we were technically invited but in true fashion, we did RSVP like we should have. I won't get too much more in the dirty details but instead I will rave about Woods Boss. Woods Boss if you dare trek there is a lot of fun. The beers are all very good and the staff rocks. I had several Que Bonitas that night and enjoyed its lager flavor profile. My colleague had the Trail Time and while he's a quiet guy, he quickly turned into a walking / talking sales pitch deck for the Trail Time. We stayed for a little longer while the guys grubbed on the free food and I mingled with the company throwing the party as well as the bartenders. If you can find it, and survive the walk there, take a deep breath and enjoy the beers read more

Second time here, the Mrs. and I again started with a flight. The Cerna Dira Czech Dark was our favorite. We each enjoyed a few of those after the flight. The Foothills Fire Red Amber was next up on the list of favorites. After that, both the Hisolda Irish coffee cream stout had potential, and my wife also thought the Stihl Crazy farmhouse Saison was ok as well. The Barrel Aged Noir Saison was quite interesting, but we agreed we didn't think we would like a large glass as much. Service at the bar was very friendly, and he even did a birthday shot with me. Great little brewery. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Colorado is ranked No. 6 or 7 with the most craft breweries in America per capita (if I'm not mistaken or crazy!) In such a state exists Woods Boss Brewing located downtown Denver on California and 22nd. Had it not been the networking event that the organizers organized it at this place tonight and I got to attend it, I wouldn't have known that this great brewery existed. As some of my friends know me as an avid wine drinker, when I rave about a brewery, they think it's a rarity. And I'm proud to be able to write a quick review of this place. This place is a bit away from many of the establishments located more in the heart of downtown. This is a blessing for them in a certain way because it's not overshadowed by the glamor of those over-the-top bars and restaurants many go to frequent and flock. It's somewhat unassuming on the outside but once you step in, a spacious high-ceiling interior welcomes you. When it comes to beer, it has to be something wheat based and with some fruitiness (I'm not an IPA person although I've had a great IPA once in the past.) When I was at the bar, the guy suggested that I'd get me the Fruity Flash: Fruited Kettle Sour (on tap.) In a tall glass ($7.96 with tax) it has/had a beautiful dark pink color to it. Like I said, I'm more of a wine person but this sour (although I'm not necessarily an expert in craft beer or sour in any way) is/was amazing and the best sour I've ever had (if it's not the best, it is one of the best.) The perfect sourness and a tad bit of sweetness and fruitiness, I bet the worst critic in the world may possibly rave about this refreshing sour. I truly appreciated the generous pour of it at the price of less than $8. If some out-of-state visitor asks for a recommendation for a brewery, I would name this place in a heartbeat. On the way to the restrooms, I saw a merchandise section on the right. And to the left was where the craft brewing takes place. I wonder if they do offer brewery tour here. I bet they do. read more

I was with my friends watching the Super Bowl and it was pretty great! The food was delicious and the drinks too!

I notice they did have little snack and pizza. We did not have any food since we were at the Christmas event at city park. But we had a beer the service was great was not too busy in a Friday night. Great atmosphere very laid back and pretty big space. read more

Another great Denver brewery find! Woods Boss is an "outdoorsy" themed downtown Five Points brewery with a great open space concept and outdoor seating area and wonderful open window bar seating (which was perfection for the wonderful evening weather the day I went) was a great stop to enjoy a flight. Staff was absolutely awesome, welcoming, engaging, and willing to help you find your perfect beer selections. My beertender even let me try a few samples (they have a very eclectic and varied beer selection and lineup, so you will not have an issue finding something you like here) before making my beer flight choices.  It had a very laid back vibe, even when it got packed. Definitely worth a stop when in the downtown area.  Gone Walkabout Australian Sparkling Ale 6.1%  Czech Dam Pilsner 5.5%  Keller View Kellerbier 5% Reviresco Scottish Ale 9.5%  The Oswald NEIPA 7.1% read more

A brewery you must check out. I love beers and finding new breweries with good vibes and nice variety of beers to choose from. Woods Boss did not disappoint. Upon entering it gave me wood cabin vibes, it was very cozy and wide open. The bartender was friendly, she told us about all the beers and helped us build our flight. Everything was great. They even had a nice skittles style seltzer that was pretty sweet, but it was nice and refreshing and a nice break from all the beer. I enjoyed the couches they had for seating and they also had a large wall for merchandise. I personally loved their winter ale - it was spiced and comforting. Everything I wanted in cold weather! read more

My company has an office space nearby and so the local office staff picked Woods Boss to take me to for an after work drink. Woods Boss was their go to for events, because it was nearby and while they didn't have a kitchen you could easily bring in food from outside. The space had a log cabin type motif but with plenty of space at the bar and at the tables and there was a large alumni group. The bartenders were friendly and walked me through their tap selection. I started off with a few of their sours, one was good and the other was just all right. I walked out with two 4-packs, one of their flagship beer, an IPA and an Imperial version. I liked the Imperial but I tried it a little quicker than I would have liked-on my drive back to my hotel one of the cans had burst while I was driving; one of the cans had somehow come part at the seams and caused a bit of a mess. read more

So fun and tasty! We came here on a quick trip to Denver for a bball game and were delighted to find creative craft brews. The flights have solid pours, and you can try 5 of the long list of beers available. The blonde stout quickly took the top of my list, and we were glad to have been advised by the team behind the bar. Can't wait to get back there again soon. read more

I really like the beers and the space at Woods Boss. They now have a back area, too, for renting the space and performances. The main front area is still where I've spent my time. It's ample and staff has always been pretty cool. Try some new beers in a cool spot! read more

The atmosphere and games is what stands out to me about woods boss. They have cool tree trunk stands for your drinks, large and warm room, and fun bar games. Oddly enough the shuffleboard-like game where you slide pucks into wholes was actually my favorite addition. It is a great game that I could see going here for just to play. The beer itself was decent but nothing amazing and the staff was friendly every time we have been there. read more

We tried two beers and both were just fine. The space is really nice and they had a huge screen showing rock climbing videos.... Which I appreciate. The staff were really nice, we just weren't wowed by either of the beers. It's nice to have free parking on the street. We may come back and try something new. read more

This is such a great spot in Downtown Denver! There are so many great breweries in Denver, and with some big popular ones, it can be harder to find the great little ones around town. I recent stopped in here and loved the outdoorsy theme for everything. They have a great variety of beers, as well as some non-alcoholic options. The bartender was so friendly and gave some great recommendations. I've heard that they have some great trivia nights here, if you're looking for something fun to do with friends! This is a great spot for groups, as they have larger tables and other seating areas for get-togethers. The inside is very comfortable and casual, and is a great spot for a fun, relaxing night. If you're looking for another great Colorado brewery to check out, this should definitely be on your list! read more

Woods Boss is a def must try when in Denver. The beers are some of the tastiest of the local beers. I always do flites when I go to a brewery so I dont deprive myself of all the goodness. I would recommend this as well (unless you have been there and know what you like!) Dark lover, go for Dark Hedges. Ale? try the Foothills Fire Red. I get that tasting is subjective to the individual but I guarantee you will find something you love here. Atmosphere is super cool, servers are amazing! Drink local! Go to Woods Boss! read more

There is a lot to like about this spot. Plenty of seating options. I am surprised how a brewery so close to Downtown has such a large streetside patio with free two hour street parking. Their stout had the balance I want with a hint of coffee bitter with a creamy malt finish. True to its name there's wood finish on all the surfaces in this cavernous loft space. On the weekends they have live music. A pretty chill crowd. There was a live latin jazz band, and to my surprise no one graced the dancefloor. read more

Hilarious that I've been to Woods Boss so many times and never took a single good picture for Yelp. Will have to do that next time! This is officially my favorite brewery in Denver. I've brought dates and friends here, as well as worked by myself for a few hours. Only downside is the 2-hour street parking that means moving my car every so often. The Coastal Companion IPA is my go-to, and I love how many beer options they have in general. The bartenders are fantastic with recommendations and samplers. Their décor and swag tables are fun, as well as the availbility of Colorado popcorn as a snack. There's chess sets, or bring your own games. The vibe here is just the best overall. There's not too many food options nearby, except Carbon (when it's actually open) so I'd recommend driving elsewhere instead. The Merc is around the corner for dancing, and there's an escape room next door I've been meaning to visit. I tend to be super focused on having a good time at Woods Boss, though. Would give this 6 out of 5 stars if I could!! read more

"Once a Forest of Flavor, Now a Sad, Leafless Stump" Ah, Woods Boss Brewing Company ...what happened to you? You used to be the Gandalf of Denver breweries--wise, magical, bearded--and now you're more like Gollum hoarding mediocre beer and calling it "precious." Let me set the stage: after nearly two years of peaceful avoidance (thanks to my deep lack of enthusiasm for the ownership, which has all the charm of a DMV on fire), I decided to give this place another shot. Nostalgia whispered sweet lies into my ear: "Maybe it's better now... Maybe The Oswald still slaps..." Oh, foolish me. The Oswald--my old flame, my hazy IPA hero--returned to me as a ghost of its former self. Not hazy. Not juicy. Not anything except "eh." It looked more like a Pale Ale after a 3-day juice cleanse and tasted like regret. This was a betrayal of mythic proportions. You can't just say it's The Oswald if it's clearly been replaced by an imposter. That's not brewing. That's gaslighting. How do you let your flagship beer fall apart like this? It's like watching the Titanic sink again--but this time, Leonardo DiCaprio's been replaced with a soggy piece of toast. Ownership, if you're reading this (and let's be honest, you're probably not because accountability seems... not your thing), please know that I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. Okay, no--I am mad. You've turned what used to be a solid hangout into a monument of missed potential. The beer is bland, the vibes are off, and the only thing hazy is the logic behind still keeping this place afloat. If you're looking for a brewery where flavor goes to die and nobody seems to notice or care--boy, do I have the spot for you. Otherwise, take your taste buds somewhere that respects them. Farewell, Woods Boss. I'll always remember the good times, but I'm not hiking back into this forest of sadness again. read more

Another great Denver brewery! We have had three different beers from Woods Boss thus far and really enjoyed them! We had the Oswald which was a very refreshing and brisk New England IPA that we had and was perfect for the warmer day we were having. Another enjoyable one was the Fruity Flash which was a really tasty fruited sour which was a fun one to drink. That one was very well balanced! And the third one that we enjoyed was another sour but a Berliner Weisse which was a real easy one to drink. Loved the wheat features to that one! This brewery has lots of other beer options from those three and I'm excited to explore some of those in the future! read more

What a great "Colorado-y" brewery to hit up. LOVED the wood bar, which of course plays into the name. Wife and I hit here up because they had an Earth Day event (and that is our anniversary). We constructed plants to take home. We arrived at opening, snagged a bar seat in almost empty place. It filled up FAST, and became very energetic. LOTS of IPA's to choose from for me. Trail Time was my favorite. Coastal Companion was good too, and didn't have bandwidth to mess with the 9% Trail God because I was driving, but I will be back for it. Wife was happy, as they had a Rain Hard Seltzer, and she liked it. To give a comparison, she lives and dies by White Claw Black Cherry, so if she liked it, then you have the foundation of where the opinion came from. There was a birthday celebration starting to build when we left, and I would think this place would be a fun place to host an event. They blocked off the area for them. There is also a Lodge by same company, which you get to either outside or through the maze of hallways. It wasn't open when we went, but we had already seen a show there, and it is a cool spot. Oddly, I didn't ask the employees' names, but that is shame on me. Both bartenders were great, and very efficient. They also have a VIP club that sounded like a fun deal. Definitely recommend and see you there. read more

Awesome family friendly (at least on MLK day) brewery that actually had a sour! I'm not a huge beer girl but I do like sours and they are typically hard to come by. But Woods Boss had a great fruity/tart sour that hit all the right notes for me. I also tried a sip of one of the other beers they had, I believe it was a lager, and it was also quite tasty! read more

Went there on 2/11/23. First time here. There is street parking. It's probably not the best area. There are tables outside. A lot of tables inside. Looks like they Can some of their beer and bottle a few. The day we went their crowler machine wasn't working. We were just there to get some beer to go. Was able to try a taster of their Winter Warner. This beer was awesome. Very friendly bartender. We just ended up getting a bottle of a Golden Strong Ale. I'll let you know how it is. Definitely come back to try more beers. Cheers! read more

I have always been a big Woods Boss Brewing fan but I really like what they have done to adapt to Covid times. The space is quite big and they have the garage doors open when the weather is nice, so if you are comfortable sitting inside, you are guaranteed to have plenty of space. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I once threw a surprise birthday party there and they let me reserve a whole section for the evening at no cost or minimum. I like that there is plenty of parking around, new outdoor seating, and you are able to make a reservation! So many places in the area are first come first serve and with new capacity rules and it is almost impossible to get a table. I like to know I can rely on reserving a spot at WBB. My only complaint is that they really need to level out the picnic tables on the grass. Waaay too much of a gangster lean going on to make it enjoyable to sit there. Finally, the beer! I think the beer at Woods Boss has come a long way from when I first tried it a few years ago. I think their hazies have gotten juicier and they've gotten pretty creative with some of their other styles- love to see it! read more

My new favorite beer is The Right Side of the Hammock at Woods Boss. I adore hoppy, piney, west coast IPAs, and this one hits just right. I also love hammocks. Cool brewery in a huge industrial space on California. Lots of sidewalk seating and a spacious interior as well. I greatly enjoyed the tree stump table. With my legs dangling from a high barstool, it felt like sitting in a tree. Woods Boss is the perfect place to beat the summer heat and enjoy a cold one. They have it all - knowledgeable bartenders, mysterious brews aging in local whiskey barrels, and, most importantly, great beer. read more

Our first time to Woods Boss was not a bust. It's a great, wide open space with plenty of comfy seating. People are sitting at the bar, at high tops or on the perimeter with a pint and their laptops running queries. Beers are nothing short of excellent. They have about 20 home brews on tap, everything from the in style IPAs of today, to Czech style Pilsner, rye and everything in between. Great place for a function or party as well and now you can take cans of your favorite home! read more
