Message notalush beers 7128 º places 452 º 20:21 Tue 2/24/2015 With the addition of Factotum Brewhouse, Denver now officially has 50 breweries, making it second only to Chicago in number of breweries within city limits. Complain all you want about the quality of some of those breweries. That is still impressive.

Message wchesser beers 2435 º places 44 º 20:45 Tue 2/24/2015 I am woefully behind in trying different spots. Diebolt gets better every time I go.

Message Travlr beers 33915 º places 4597 º 21:33 Tue 2/24/2015 Holy cow. And I have actually NEVER done a beer trip to Denver, although I’ve visited many times when there were somewhat less than 50 breweries. It’s on my list now.
Message notalush beers 7128 º places 452 º 22:38 Tue 2/24/2015 Originally posted by adnielsen Best new breweries? Station 26 and Comrade impressed me Station 26 is great. The fact that it is so close to my house is problematic for my wallet. I think I’ve consumed at least a half barrel of the Juicy Banger IPA. Comrade has definitely been getting better, but they still don’t wow me. Some of my favorites that have opened in the last year or so are Diebolt, Beryl’s, Mockery. I liked Former Future at first, but the last few times I’ve gone the beer has been kind of bad. I’m looking forward to trying Declaration, as they are the first start-up I’ve seen to build a lab on site for quality control.
Message 3fourths P beers 9492 º places 1576 º 22:40 Tue 2/24/2015 Mockery is solid I just hope to see more pure beer from them. I like the spot it has that swank in the middle of a junkyard feel.

I think Beryl’s, Diebolt, and Mockery are great, as well. Probably my next three choices. I thoroughly enjoy Comrade and Station 26 and your comment about Juicy Banger is spot on. I have already filled two growlers of it. The stuff I had at Former Future’s Anniversary party was pretty good too. I don’t have a ton of hope for Declaration as the initial feedback I have heard hasn’t been great. Hopefully they will dial in.
