tons of great craft beer on tap and in bottles - had a Pliny the Elder - they had lots of CO beer and plenty of rare stuff in bottles. the pizza was good, not great and the service sucked. conflicted about this place.

I like the comment below that this place is like Beer Geek Nirvana. Apt. This place has about the same selection as Falling Rock, with probably fewer taps but what seems like more bottled selections. i love the way they have beers organized on the menu, as it makes it easy to find what you like or to try something new. What differs about BCP compared to many other beer joints I’ve been in is the service. Of the three times I’ve been there, I’ve always had top shelf service. Impressively, the waiters and waitresses all seem to know something about almost every beer on the menu. Try getting that at a Flying Saucer! They rotate the taps pretty regularly to keep the selection fresh. Food is pretty good - not as good as Hops & Pie, but with a much larger selection to please all palates.

This place is like beer geek nirvana. They had 50 taps of craft beer and most of them were unusual and not commonly found in most pubs. In addition to some of the finer Colorado craft they also had 4-5 Russian River and 4-5 Mikkeller. They also had a large number of bottles including some bombers that had been aged. The pizza was solid but not spectacular but good value for money. Everyone there was very friendly and had a real passion for beer. I wish we had a place this awesome close to where I live.

Great pizza and excellent selection of beers on tap. My waitress was very rude and didn’t visit our table between the time she took our order and the time she brought the bill. I’m sure this is the exception rather than the rule but I’ll see the next time I’m in there.

The pizza is just meh, unfortunately, and all the big screen TVs and lack of personality/soul (feels like a big chain) make the atmosphere one of "get me outta here!", but...yes, the beer selection is quite good. Nice selection of both bottles and draughts, so even a picky bastard like me can usually find something to be content with.

Love the original backcountry pizza in nederland, co. This place has 50 taps and most of them are rotating with the best beer you can find. the food is great, the pizza in ned is better though. stop in when in boulder you will always find 50 good to great beers.

Stopped for lunch here on my walk to Avery ( be warned if you do like me and walk, it is a few blocks down the street ) Good food, had a nice pizza, very nice helpfull and knowable sevice, wich pointed me to a few nearby breweries i could visit. Great selection of beers, sadly no Angels share while i was there. Abit on the pricy side, but not to bad

Dragged the fam here for lunch today - the ambience was an immediate strike for me - obnoxious bright yellow and blue paint of the exterior - interior is not sure if it wants to be a pub or a family restaurant, so it simply fails at being both - everything besides that was nice, though - staff was extremely friendly and attentive - beer selection was excellent, with a quality assortment of regular brews and an extensive rotating list, some of which is fairly hard to get - prices were on the high side, with 5 bucks being the cheapest you can get a pint - the pizza is fairly good, but IMO not worth the price - the beer selection is probably the only thing that would bring me back.

Multiple visits indicate a lot of possibility here. First and foremost, selection is great - excellent all the way through the enormous amount of taps, with no BMC to fill out volume (though I know a few bottles float around). Pliny the Younger, BB Angel’s Share, Meph Addict, the Abyss, etc. Just a jaw-dropper. The kitchen was also excellent, from the pub grub to the pizza I had for lunch (I’d def rec the Nediterranean). Sweet servers and a lot of beer geeks here, including brewers and reps I met in other hot spots in Boulder and along the whole FR. I really like the different rooms, has sort of a family/restaurant section in addition to the bar side and pool/games area. So what’s not to like about a premier gourmet experience? Well, the quality’s there, and you’re going to pay for it. Parking was easy, and though I know it’ll probably be super busy here at times, I never had a problem finding a spot. I’d be here every week were I local.
