Overview

Welcome to the ultimate craft beer experience in Denver, Colorado!

Our LoDo Craft Beer Tour will take you to some of the best breweries in Denver’s downtown area, where you’ll taste 10+ craft beer samples on an easy, mile-long walk with a seat at each stop.

While sipping beers along the way, you’ll see how a failed geologist started a brewery that defined Denver’s beer culture, explore Denver’s Dairy Block, visit a small outpost of a Colorado mountain brewery, and finish at a neighborhood brewery near Coors Field.

You’ll also get to know Denver’s best kept secrets. You’ll walk through Denver’s original red light district, hear about Denver’s outrageous grave robbers, & learn other seamy Denver history!

Throughout the tour, you will be accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who will:
- teach you how to taste beer like a beer snob
- explain the brewing process
- show the history of each of our brewing partners
- share some scandalous Denver history tidbits along the way

The Wynkoop

Our tour kicks off where Denver's craft beer story began: Wynkoop, Colorado's first brewpub, where you'll taste your first samples. Between sips, look up at the pressed-tin ceilings and the original vault door of the 1899 J.S. Brown Mercantile Building. When Wynkoop opened in 1988, LoDo was Denver's skid row. Its success, and its co-founder John Hickenlooper (later mayor, governor and U.S. Senator), helped spark the neighborhood's comeback.

Denver Union Station (pass by)

Just a block from Wynkoop stands Union Station, the grand Beaux-Arts depot that has anchored LoDo since 1914. For decades it sat half-forgotten. Today it's Denver's living room again, with a hotel, restaurants, and the train that runs straight to the airport.

LoDo (pass by)

As you walk between breweries, you're crossing Denver's oldest neighborhood, the red-brick warehouse district that grew up around the railyards. These streets have seen gold-rush saloons, a red-light district and decades of decline, followed by one of America's great urban comebacks.

Dairy Block (pass by)

Cut through the Dairy Block, where the historic Windsor Farm Dairy building and its brick alley now hold shops, bars, a boutique hotel and our next taproom. It's one of the best examples of how LoDo reuses its old industrial buildings.

Westbound & Down

Our next stop brings the mountains to downtown. Westbound & Down started in 2015 as a pact between friends in Idaho Springs, a small mining town in the Rockies, and was named Mid-Size Brewery of the Year at the 2019 Great American Beer Festival. Its Dairy Block taproom pours everything from crisp Hefeweizens to award-winning IPAs.

35 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Coors Field (pass by)

Walk past Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies since 1995. The ballpark did more than any other single project to revive LoDo and turn it into the neighborhood it is today. Look for the row of purple seats in the upper deck, which marks exactly one mile above sea level.
Read more

Full Frame Beer & Coffee

We finish a few blocks from the ballpark at Full Frame, a neighborhood brewpub and coffee shop in the former Jagged Mountain Brewery space. It's run by Jagged Mountain's former head brewer, Alyssa Hoberer, and Jacob Kemple, who brewed award-winning beers at Our Mutual Friend. It's a relaxed spot for your last samples, and if anyone in your group has had enough beer, the coffee bar is right there. When the tour wraps, your guide will point you back toward Union Station or wherever you're headed next.
