In a town where the average beer enthusiast is likely to know as much about brewing as the pros, the competition among bars that specialize in suds is stiff — so stiff, in fact, that newcomers tend to undergo a bit of a trial period as customers size up not only their selection but their expertise. In other words, unlike restaurants, many of Denver’s most popular taphouses are also its most established, having earned their patrons’ loyalty over time with ever-changing lineups emphasizing hard-to-find and cult brews as well as proper storage and service.

In honor of the Great American Beer Festival this week, here’s a rundown of the city’s 15 hottest beer bars right now — both new arrivals and longtime favorites. (Note: We’ve excluded brewery taprooms as a separate category.)

Why it’s hot: Aside from the fact that none other than Tom Colicchio gave it his seal of approval while in town to film the next season of Top Chef, we like to think of this as the wine bar of beer bars. As a specialist in sours and wild ales (aka the brews most likely to convert oenophiles), it’s about as sophisticated as taprooms get, with snacks to match.


Number of beers: 25 on tap, plus many more in can and bottle

What to eat: What not to eat? Tinned cockles, confit pork leg, a butter flight with French bread, carefully assorted cheeses with house condiments — the menu is your oyster (which you can also get here).
