Denver Breweries That Serve Food

February 24, 2023 By //  by Kristen Kuchar

Finding a well-made craft beer in Colorado is not hard. When youโ€™re looking for a bite to accompany that brew, there are several breweries in Denver that serve food to go along with their beverages.

One thing to note is that just because a brewery isnโ€™t listed here and doesnโ€™t have a kitchen to serve food, doesnโ€™t mean you wonโ€™t be able to eat there. Many breweries that donโ€™t serve their own food host rotating food trucks on-site and have snacks to purchase behind the bar, such as pretzels or chips. Some microbreweries allow you to bring in outside food or order from local restaurants and get it delivered right to you.

Keep in mind that food and beer menus often change frequently, so itโ€™s always a good idea to visit the website to find the most up-to-date offerings. Check out a breweryโ€™s website to learn if food trucks are hosted and if outside food is allowed.

In no particular order, here are some of the breweries in Denver that have food:

Wynkoop Brewing Company

Wynkoop Brewing Company is Coloradoโ€™s first brewpub located right near Union Station serving a wide variety of beer on tap and a large food menu. Thereโ€™s a little bit of everything here to eat: tacos, salads, burgers and sandwiches, fork and knife fare, and desserts, such as a key lime tart or peanut butter mousse pie. Brunch is even an option with breakfast burritos, biscuits and gravy, and a stout-glazed roll with cream cheese frosting.

Classic pub-style appetizers include loaded nachos, a pretzel served with beer mustard and beer cheese, fried pickles, spinach artichoke dip, and chicken wings. The menu highlights vegetarian options, including a cornmeal-crusted oyster mushroom poโ€™boy, a hearty veggie shepherdโ€™s pie in beer gravy, hummus with naan, and a veggie burger.

You can get creative and build your own pizza with a large variety of sauces, cheeses, and toppings: creamy pesto, garlic puree, green olives, caramelized onions, roasted tomatoes, and many more options.

A LowDown IPA is used in the cheese dip thatโ€™s served with pretzel bread, roasted broccoli, and apple slices. Beer is used throughout the menu, in fact, with beer-braised pulled pork, barbecue brisket, and corned beef brisket in some of the sandwiches.
