They’ve done pretty well for a bar inside an airport. It’s almost big enough to make it feel like a stand alone restaurant. There is a surprising amount of taps available. They didn’t skimp on the selection. It’s before security which is kind of cool, unless of course you’re here on a layover like I was on my prior visit to DIA.

Typical airport bar, so not much to look at. Outside security, so you have to factor that in. 10 Boulder Brewing Co. beers, so not a bad place if you haven’t rated their stuff. What you see is what you get.

Visited first time on on Oct 5, 2012.
Sat in the bar and sampled three of six draught beers that was on where I sat waiting for a friend. Rather pricy, but expected at an airport. Cool that it is located outside of the security area. Nice fast service, didn’t eat.

Visited second time on October 15, 2012
Sat at the bar to sample three more beers I didn’t have the fist visit or for my short visit to the Boulder Beer brewery earlier that day. Good service once more. Didn’t eat this time around either. Nice place for a few samples when at the airport. Again, fairly expensive samples.

Located outside of security at the airport. Stopped here during a layover as it was the only thing open after I left the New Belgium Hub. About 10 "house" beers on tap, most of which were mediocre. Looked like average at best food. Prices were on the high side. Wouldn’t recommend going here unless you’re stuck at the airport.

Yep, another airport bar. The fake (er, faux) beer tanks I guess are there to make it seem authentic. There were 10 or so Boulder Beer brews available, plus some BMC for those who cannot hang.

Big wrap around bar, plenty of seating. Service was fast and friendly. Food was average. Beer was good.

Nice decor, good food (at airport prices), and a welcome stop near the entrance to the screening area. I plan to stop here every time I visit DIA.

if i’m early enough, i drop by this place as opposed to the other "breweries" in the airport. it’s before security, so you have to be careful about giving yourself enough time to make it through security and to your gate. typical boulder beer lineup. i got some food (quesadilla maybe?) and it was awful. it looked like all of their food was pretty shitty.

before security, it’s now also a BBQ place or something. standard pub food at inflated airport prices. standard Boulder Beer products on tap, which mostly suck (it’s a verifiable fact), but they’ll let you sit there for hours and you can nurse a pint just to get a spot to sit that’s not burger king, so there’s that.

Stopped at the Boulder Tap Room while waiting for some friends. Was crushed to hear that New Belgium has a taproom in the same airport. $6.75 for a ten-ounce pour of mojo risin’ is a bit much. Food was very overpriced, but ok. Service was not wonderful, but the atmosphere was laid back. I don’t know that I would go back.
