Description

With seventeen Great American Beer Festival awards and five World Beer Cup awards -- not to mention a number-seven ranking in Beer Advocate's 2009 All-Time Top Breweries on Planet Earth -- it's quite clear that Great Divide knows a few things about making great beer. And there's no better way to experience one of the brewery's many beers than getting it right from the source at the Great Divide tap room, which is open from 2 to 8 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday and from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Every third Thursday, the Hop Disciples gather at the Tap Room to discuss all things beer-related, and on the last Tuesday of the month, the brewery hosts a monthly beer-and-cheese pairing.

Monthly Hop Disciples Meeting

2012 | Best Tap Room for Food Trucks

Tap rooms and food trucks were made for one another. The former needs to offer something for its buzzing customers to put into their stomachs; the latter needs a reliable spot for hungry people -- and a parking space. Great Divide figured this out early and has welcomed Denver's food trucks since they first hit the streets. Now you can find one outside the tap room every afternoon, whether it's a regular like Basic Kneads Pizza and Chef Driven or occasional drive-bys like Mestizos and... More »
2011 | Best Tap Room Culture

If Denver were a brew kettle, then the Great Divide Tap Room would be the brilliant flame (or heating coils) that makes it cook. Drop in for a pint and you'll find not only some of the best craft beer that this city has to offer, but rousing conversations about beer, bars and breweries from an ever-rotating roster of people who simply love hops, malt and yeast. Small and cozy on winter nights, relaxing and airy in the summer, Great Divide's tap room is almost always packed with people who... More »
2010 | Best Place to Get Smashed on Local Brews for $20

Twenty bucks might seem like a steep admission fee, but you won't leave one of Great Divide Brewing Co. Tap Room's events sorry -- or sober. The brewery's garage-like warehouse is big enough for snaking beer lines, and its fenced-in outdoor space is a great place to throw a summer bash. Plus, Great Divide never forgets the food -- which is delicious, and included in the price. Check Great Divide's website for information on upcoming $20 events, or stay informed by signing up for...

2008 | Best Tap Room

Great Divide's tap room was the last space finished in the brewery's remodel, but it was worth the wait. The old tap room -- the starting and ending point of tours at Great Divide -- had a chilly, concrete decor, and it's difficult to enjoy even free beer samples when you're shivering. Its reincarnation is much warmer and features two large windows into the production area that let you see where the beer you're enjoying was made. The tap room is open from 3 to 8 p.m. Monday through... More »
2007 | Best Microbrew List

Great minds drink alike: That's the slogan of the Great Divide Brewing Company. We'll tap into that sentiment -- and there's no better place to do so than in the Great Divide Tap Room, a cool new space carved into the Ballpark neighborhood brewery. Sitting and swilling in this cozy, clubby nook, you can sample from the eight taps dispensing Great Divide's award-winning craft beers while watching those beers being produced in the brewery itself. Bottoms up. More »

Took the tour before a Rockies game since it's only 4 blocks from Coors Field. Had a great time plus the 4 free samples of beer got things started off right.
