      When visiting Denver you have to check out the multitude of craft beer breweries. Great Divide is a good choice. Very cool little place downtown. They offer free brewery tours, but make sure you are wearing close-toed shoes. No samples are served on the tour, but they will let you carry your beer along.

      Nice selection of their brews in the taproom. I opted for the Velvet Yeti Nitro. Very smooth and flavorful stout. It is only 5.0% ABV and not heavy like some stouts. I highly recommend it. Tried other Great Divide brews at other locations and all were very good.

      They even have glasses you can purchase. They were sold out of new ones in the style I wanted, so the bartender sold me a used one half price (very nice). If you're into the craft beer scene definitely check this place out. It's worth a visit!

      Have been into this loction numerous times and had a great experience with my server "Livy" I think, or Olivia Albright. She was very friendly and positive, knowledgeable about the menu and even told us about some knew things going into town for entertainment. The food was quick and fresh, they seemed like they were getting busy before happy hour so we left but we will back back for the atmosphere and vibe! Definitely request Olivia!

      Went here by chance while in Denver for a conference. We did their 4PM tour ($10) which lasted around 20 min. The guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. As part of the tour, you get a mug and a drink which is not a bad deal. The expresso yeti was fantastic. Highly recommend.

      My first stop in Denver as part of my brewery tour (for myself, with myself). From the outside it didn't look like much to me. Upon entering we were greeted by the friendly man behind the bar. He told us we can scan the QR code to see the beer selection. We settled on a flight to try the few beers that caught our eye. 4 beers in a flight and we had to try the Yeti stout. Beers were overall pretty good with a nice variety to choose from.
      It wasn't a bad place to start out and I liked the warm vibes inside.

      I've tried Great Divide before, but I never got into the taproom until this past week. I'm so glad I finally stopped by! They had a great selection of beer varieties and seltzers. I ordered the Japanese Rice Lager and really enjoyed it. I would definitely get it again, and would love to see it in stores near me! The bartender was friendly and welcomed us in. The taproom isn't huge, especially the bar when you first walk in. There's more seating in the back, but I didn't get to check out that area. The inside is very casual and inviting, your typical brewery/taproom feel. I would love to come back soon and check out more of the actual brewery area! Definitely check out Great Divide if you're in the area and looking for some drinks/good beer!

      While in Denver to see a show we decided our day activites should be beer tasting through Lodo and Lohi! Great Divide has a great tasting area. You can do as little or as much flites as you want. I went in for the dark beers and the reds but tried the lagers.. handsdown the Pottsville Lager is a must have! They also specialize in selzers. While I did not try, I think they should be a must have on your tasting list. Service here is so great. Everyone is happy to recommend and discuss the beers.

      Take a beer trip when in Denver to Great Divide- drink local!

      When in Denver, get craft beer and this spot brews some of the best. Stopping in on a Sunday afternoon in March, my wife and I each got a 16 ounce pour and enjoyed it on their outdoor patio as we read books. My wife loved her IPA and the strawberry rhubarb sour ale was refreshing. It's not overly sour, but I enjoyed it!

      Pros:
      Located in a hip part of town
      Lots of brews on tap
      You can order a flight of as many as you want to try - we tried 6
      Favorites were Wild Raz (notes of raspberry) and Brunch and Bubbles (like a mimosa)
      Local musician was great
      Loved seeing where some of the beer is brewed

      Cons:
      Indoor and outdoor seating is a bit limited
      Decor could be updated some
      No food offered
      Staffing a bit thin

      Pro tip:
      Roll the dice and let the bartender know what you generally like and let them choose some options!

      My most recent trip to Denver brought my friends and I to Great Divide. The fellas and I were on a brewery tour and had to check this place out. It's one of the pioneers of the Denver brewing scene. This location was convenient to where we were staying. Parking was easy. The inside was small, but at the same time, it seemed like alot of people were packed in there.

      We snagged a table and ordered at the bar. Two of my favorite flavor profiles popped out at me right away. I ordered a small pour of the Peanut Butter Yeti and also the Strawberry Rhubarb Sour. Two different types of beer, but they were both delicious. I would totally order these again.

      Out of the breweries we tried in Denver, this place is high up on my list as one of my favorites. I will be back!

      I've had some of this beer from my old craft beer store in California. So I was looking forward to trying more of their beers. Great Divide didn't disappoint. I got a beer flight and each beer was solid. Great location and good atmosphere inside.

      As someone who's big into craft beer and who's had layovers at Denver often, I was SO excited to visit a Great Divide location in person! Got here about 40 minutes before closing, so mentally knew I was only getting one beer. However, I've never felt more unwelcome by a bartender than the guy closing tonight. Before greeting us hello, he quickly stated how they were closing soon. When my friend asked if she could get a flight, the bartender sighed and said "I guess". Because of that, I didn't even wanna get a flight cause of the disgust on his face for having to pour one flight, let alone two. The whole experience was honestly ruined cause of how annoyed the bartender was; probably would have liked my raspberry wheat more if I felt like I could actually enjoy my beer.
