- Vindication is closing April 28 - 2nd closure in two months! Have we reached peak beer?
This is a definitive list of all Boulder County craft breweries, including key details (such taproom vs. full restaurant, patios, dog friendliness, etc.) I've visited these myself and/or reached out to the brewery for details but please help keep this current! If you have any changes, let me know in the comments below.
A few provisos:
- I have not been to all of these (yet). I haven't visited Atom, Cellar West, Echo or Wild Mountain, although I've had beer from Atom and Echo.
- This doesn't include BJ's Roadhouse as this is a national chain.
- I left out cider and meaderies.
