70 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 10/15 FOOD N/A VALUE N/A OVERALL 13/20 theisti (352) Leawood, Kansas | April 25, 2013 Visited early evening on a Wednesday. Interesting space on Walnut just South of I-70. The space itself is nicely open air, with two large garage doors that were open when I visited. Nice bar tables, and a comfortable bar were populated by a varied and eclectic group of folks. The big theme here is that all of their beers are a variation of their Red beer, so you have the Red Saison, Red IPA, etc. Service was friendly, informed and very attentive. Beers were good, and they had interesting glassware that helped to focus the aroma (and allowed me to slosh a bunch of beer on myself before the first sip). 6 beers on when I visited. | 80 AMBIANCE 5/5 SERVICE 9/10 SELECTION 12/15 FOOD N/A VALUE N/A OVERALL 14/20 Steve_0 (72) Denver, Colorado | February 12, 2013 Stopped in here with my wife. It is located in a pretty down part of town, but don’t let that deter you from dropping by. Brand new facility, with a very industrial, yet cozy feel. No windows with dim lit lights and open exposure to the brewing equipment. Pretty cool space and the owners and staff are all very friendly. The beer was pretty tasty on my stop with the pale being pretty unique and the saison was damn tasty, as well. I don’t know if I get the whole "red ale base" thing, but the majority of beers I had were solid, so I guess it is working for now. I am excited to see these guys grow and I will definitely be a repeat customer; worth a stop. | 68 AMBIANCE 4/5 SERVICE 8/10 SELECTION 9/15 FOOD N/A VALUE 7/10 OVERALL 13/20 notalush (279) Denver, Colorado | January 10, 2013 New brewery in a pretty dead part of town that some might not feel comfortable in at night, which is a shame, since these guys are only open at night, and only a few days a week at that (at least for now) - they share a small parking lot with the ghetto-ass liquor store next door (be sure to park on the north side only) - doesn’t look like much from outside, but inside is cozy and homey - warm, soft lighting - a fair amount of space - they have an interesting schtick in that all of their beers have the same malt base, but variations in yeast and hops (and sometimes mashing techniques - see: sour mash saison) - beer quality is fair, with a few standouts - nothing complex or awe-inspiring, though - they serve all of their beer in custom-made glasses that are basically wine glasses with a slanted lip - you’re supposed to drink from the low end and let the taller end capture the aromas - I’m a beer nerd and even I think that’s pretentious (and unnecessary, since their beer is not all that complex) - staff was quite friendly - like most local breweries, they tend to have food trucks out front - an okay spot but for the terrible neighborhood - middle of the road in the new wave of Denver breweries - not what I would call an essential stop on a Denver beer tour. |
