Burns Family Artisan Ales

Somewhat hidden in an industrial area but still easy to find. The place has a few different rooms, sort of themed and definitely eclectic. There is a small bar but plenty of comfortable seating in an environment conducive to conversation. Wayne keeps kicking out awesome beers and Laura is always a smiling face greeting customers.

Small place in an industrial area. Nice and inviting on the inside. Service was okay. 12 taps, uniquely organized into tiers based on ABV. They had some very high gravity offerings, both on tap and to go, but their to go beer was very expensive. The beer I had was good, Overall I'd say it's worth a visit, but don't go out of your way.

Feels a bit weird to review the venue given that they've shut down on-site for COVID and I haven't had a chance to actually drink there yet, but I have visited and had several of their beers. So these people are on to something. They have lighter beers, but specialize in stronger ones (strongest beer I've rated on UT was a 20.2% RIS from these people), and lots of unusual styles / flavors (even their hazy was distinct--in addition to being strong for a hazy and damn damn tasty). So I reserve the right to revise this rating once I actually have a chance to hang out here and drink, but they're (as everyone notes) in a somewhat hard-to-find industrial park a mile or two from downtown. Cozy interior, super-friendly owners and, most importantly, some amazing and unique beer. Denver has a ton of great breweries, but if you like the big, boozy stuff, these guys should be at the top of your list.

Outside under canopies due to COVID-19 but nice of them to brew Ratman 20K and have the release party. Great selection of my kinds of brews, big and barrel aged.

I haven't visited since Wit's End was still here. Burns Family has drastically improved the interior. It's incredibly inviting and comfortable. There is no bar, all seating is at tables or couches. It's really startling walking into this isolated warehouse space and seeing this. Burns Family also making more experimental and more alcoholic beers. These days if someone is putting a brewery in such an out of the way spot, it better be a destination. Looks like that's the plan here. Half pours are available for all beers, which is good given their strength. Service was great. Not that I'm out in this vicinity much, but I could see myself grabbing some great food from nearby Federal or Alameda and sitting here for a beer.

In the warehouse space that once housed Wits End, they’ve done the best they can with an industrial park space - warm lighting, mid-mod furniture, inviting bar space - I should probably preface this by saying I love the people and the beer here and have made this more or less a regular stop - I feel fortunate that such a place exists just a couple miles from my house - a family owned and operated business (hence the name), the brewer here cut his teeth at several essential Michigan breweries such as Kuhnhenn and Bells - he’s been working on his craft for upwards of 20 years, and it shows in the lovingly-made product here - not everything lands solidly, but thought, intention, and purpose clearly goes into everything they make - the owners are personable, friendly - willing and eager to chat about beer, or just about anything else - they are clearly building their business around relationships with customers and partnerships with the community, which I deeply appreciate - I think they realize it’s just as important to build rapport and connections with would-be regulars as it is to work on being a destination for beer tourists (which it most certainly should be, by the way) - despite a less-than-ideal location, I think they are proving themselves worthy of being a must-visit Denver brewery.

A little hard to find, until you realize that the only place in the business park with cars and lights outside is the brewery. The owners behind the bar were enthusiastic and friendly. The prices were reasonable, although they don't offer flights, which is disappointing. The beer I had was excellent, and the place is fun and cozy. Worth a visit!

Nice warehouse space with a taproom reminiscent of somebody's living room. The owners are the beertenders so they are very knowledgeable and friendly. Around 12 beers on tap listed in 4 tiers based on ABV. Starting with sessionable beers in Tier 1 and finishing with a 16.5 ABV Braggot on Tier 4. Prices are reasonable for these well made beers. They do AHA discount as wel!. Well worth searching out!
