Visited late afternoon on a Thursday with a couple of friends. Modern taproom with bar with about 6 seat straight ahead, with a few tables spread throughout the room. On the other side of the building is the brewery, which is nicely showcased. They had 6 beers on draft, and 2 on cask. All beers I had were really well made, and very much focused on session beers.. The crowd had a really great vibe to it, everyone was very into the beer and in a great mood. Service was great, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. Great spot, I’l be back for certain.

Excellent stop about 10 minutes from Crooked Stave. Definitely not near downtown, but worth the trek. A small neighborhood brewery (with all the positives and negatives associated with it) in a converted gas station. A bluntly honest, boisterous and altogether fun owner who spent a good 30 minutes chatting with us about his business plan and the brewing industry in general. Cool brewing area and bar. THERE BEERS ARE SPOT ON! I didn’t know real ale could be made this well. All perfectly conditioned and amazing tasting. I’ve been dreaming about getting some more of the bitter for about a week now. Excellent place and I hope they thrive!

Visited twice during GABF. Love their direction. Inviting space. Down to business. Unexpected residential location. Staff is great and beers are on cask. My favorite new Denver spot.

Visited with a friend on October 10, 2012. Nice fast service. Didn’t eat, not sure you can. Nice clean modern feel to the place. Too bad the smallest sample size was 10 oz. Great beers, I’d go back and can for sure recommend the place!

Nicely remodeled mechanic shop in a residential area with ample parking. Two hand pulled beers on along with six taps. Service is friendly and attentive, if not snotty at times. The beers are phenomenal, and I am glad Denver has this English style brewer.

Converted garage in the Highlands, this place really makes some nice cask, session ales. Probably the best English-style real ales that I’ve had made in America. Reasonably priced. The place is pretty small, which is a pity, as it’s a cramped mess on the weekends.

(Update - this place has been open less than two months, but I have been coming here at least once a week - I have really grown to love it - the people are awesome and the atmosphere is extremely comfortable - perhaps the best part are the casks - they rotate quite frequently and, while they are often the same beers, they always have a different twist, which is often a different dry hop, so even if it is a beer you have had before, the experience will be different - all their beers, when served on cask, are crazy delicious - love this place) Smallish brewery in a mostly residential part of town, not far from Mondo Vino - in what is probably the nicest renovation of an auto shop I have ever seen - they also have their own parking lot, which is a huge bonus in this part of town - nice hybrid of a British and modern American pub - 8 taps and two hand pumps - though they only had three beers on my visit, they are working hard to produce more so they can keep the taps full and be open more than three days a week - strictly British style beers, many of them session beers - beers are the real deal - not these Americanized, overly hopped "British style ales" you see most places - beers are available in 20 ounce, 16 ounce or 10 ounce pours - the brewer is from the UK and is adamant about his "no flights" policy, so 10 ounces is the smallest you can get - I respect that - the selection is not huge, but there is no one else in town focusing strictly on authentic British ales, so this gives them an advantage (although some would argue that Pints has been doing it for years, I would argue that their beer isn’t all that authentic - more importantly, their beer is also not as good as the beer here) - staff is professional and knowledgeable about the beer - clearly not just some young tools hired on the cheap, like some other breweries in town hire - they have food trucks and hopes to convert some of their parking lot space into a patio in the future - a very promising new place that I am extremely excited about having in town.

Denver needs this place. true British real ale has a home here now, and the early results are quite good. two hand pumps at the moment with three taps pouring and promises of more, but I’m honestly not that interested in drinking the CO2 pours when the real ale is right here. the Lake Lightning is brilliant, the Chin Wag toasty and rich, and the Mild Ale more roasty than expected (the Mild was on CO2 only so I’ll not rate it until I get a proper cask pour). they presently only offer two firkins at a time, I’m told they kick quickly so the rotation should be good. many of the firkins are dry-hopped differently so there will be some fun variation worth sampling (though not tickable, to the certain chagrin of beer geeks). brewer and staff are very knowledgeable on all things real ale, and it’s nice to see them run the place as they will, inviting you into their experience rather than catering to the demands of the public. there’s a lot to learn about real ale and these guys are doing their part to help us all. update april 2013: coming back now I get a real attitude from the young assistant brewers and new employees - very strange and unwelcome vibe that’s very unlike what I get from the head brewer.

Stopped by early afternoon. Met the brewer and friends. Nice gas station renovation. Had a good chat and a wonderful hand-pulled bitter-really an excellent beer. Wish this place was near my house-this has all the makings of a cool beer joint.
