I love love love their amber ale , Mass Transit. And their packaging art is all all awesome. The atmosphere of the taproom is also trendy and laid back .

Greg Fuller

Excellent micro brew . Went on a Friday night and was able sit outdoors but they had ample seating indoors also. Nice selection of beers , but no Gluten free , to choose from. Would go back if in area

Rob Donnellan

Some of the best beer in town . I'm a dark beer drinker and the winter warlock(occasionally on nitro) is one of the best, except when the chocolate stout is available.

Ryan Hannigan

Great place to meet friends on a beautiful colorado evening. Beer is always reasonable priced and tastes great after either a long day at the office or a fun adventure into the outdoors.

Willy

This is the brewpub you always dreamed of opening yourself: open, airy, and with a kick ass shuffleboard table by the door. Parking 's a bitch but it'd still be cool even if you had to crawl there.

Curtis Faulk

What's good here? Beer ! Compass IPA is hippy without wrecking your palette. Seasonal Winter Warlock Oatmeal Stout will cure what ails ya! Cheers!

Krystal Luck

The food was fantastic. The beer was great, and I loved the entire place. The staff was also wonderful!

Eli Shayotovich

Bristol Brewing Company brews flavorful, one-of-a-kind ales . Their mission is to make beer that called to mind three things: quality, purity, and sanity. And they did exactly that! Read more

Cask ale I the coolest. before you come in check the dates that it is tapped and you'll love life 10 fold!!

Kaustubh Thirumalai

V. interesting place but unfriendly bartenders and flat draughts when we were there...

Gadling

Beers named for dogs. A pristine, long shuffleboard table by the door. Gaping windows letting in lots of light. A small taco shop in back. Why leave?

Andrew Sherrill

Best fresh beers in town . Don't forget to bring a growler , it's cheap beer and you're going to kick yourself later if you don't.

Laura Long

Ask the bartender for a "Shaun and Tom". It's a half nitro Warlock/half Compass IPA . It's delicious and totally old school.

Kris Anna

Great atmosphere. Cheap prices!!!

Seth Thomas

Loved the location. Laughing Lab is a tasty beer .

Ben Knauss

Paisano0506

Laughing Lab Scottish Ale of course...

Chris Aho

The beer is not that great...kinda bland and tastes very similar to each other....the gal behind the bar was annoyed that we asked for a sampler tray as she was talking to someone as we were waiting.

Andrew Paiz

Amazing beer and amazing people

Todd Clark

The Beer is good here.

Jeff

Make sure you check out the old-school boat motor hanging from the ceiling.

Teddy Holt

The hydroflasx is off the chain.

Todd Kliewer

Don't sass the ladies behind the bar at closing time! Bob doesn't mind, but mind the women.

Kerry Renée

Beehive will always be my favorite!

Great beer in a cozy open setting. Very friendly family-owned brewery. A bit off the beaten path, but worth the effort to find them; once you do you will want to come back. Beer only / Foodtruck stop. - James Kormanik
