Where to Eat and Drink This Fourth of July in Denver, 2019 | Eater Denver

"The brewery opens early at 1 p.m. for patrons to enjoy Bomb Pop-beer slushies all day long. Fiction Beer Co. will combine the Hush Hush sour blonde ale with melted down bomb pops, combining the flavors of childhood like cherry, lime, and blue raspberry with the treats of adulthood (alcohol)." - Camila Navarrette

Dog friendly patio, clever beer names, food trucks. It is the only brewery in the area and happy it was able to reopen! Try one of their east or west coast IPAs

This clever brewery combines two wonderful things - books and beer! It’s worth the stop just to see the bar made from books. But their beer is just as interesting and unique as their bar! My husband and I both got flights and liked every single beer we tasted. The Carate Cake beer is made with real carrots, so I think that even makes it healthy! We ended up buying a growler and a few 4-packs to take home because the beer was really good. The staff was friendly and helpful. There board games to play and books to read. Overall, a great place to spend our Saturday afternoon.

Made my first visit to Fiction Beer. Definitely won't be my last. Had the MAV and will have to drink a few hundred gallons to confirm it's now my favorite.

Great beer and atmosphere. They often have a food truck out front. Make sure you park in the appropriate spaces or on the street so you dont get towed. They have a spacious outdoor patio where dogs are allowed. I recommend the 'wordless wilderness'

Cool brewery concept. The design and layout are great considering the space. Tried a small handful of their recipes and wasn't disappointed.. Great flavors and brew combinations. Nice patio to relax on.

While I didn't love some of the beers I tried at Fiction, the vibes were on point and the variety of pours was impressive. A large outdoor area and available board games were also nice to see.

Neat, book themed craft brewery! Love the book art that’s a part of the bar. It was busy on a Friday but easy to get a seat. The lady bartender was friendly. I ordered an elderberry raspberry kombucha and it hit the spot. Definitely worth checking out. There’s also patio with lots of seating in the back.

Probably one of my overall fav breweries I discovered in Denver... Fiction Beer Company is a bibliophile + beer nerd's dream come true! The space is so perfectly thematic, from the bar of used books, to the beer names based off book titles/authors, to beer quotes by authors on the tables, to the bookcase with books you can read while imbibing on their amazing beers! Sean, the beertender, was so welcoming; the space was open, bright, and their patio was perfect to take in the incredible early Autumn weather. The beer styles were varied and true to style; all of the beers in my flight were magnificent! This very non-fictional place is worth adding to any book/beer nerd's memoir and a must visit when in the Denver area!

First time in Denver for a getaway trip with my partner- he enjoys trying local breweries whenever we travel. I assumed by the name the FBC would have something to do with books, but their concept was very nicely captured. My favorite parts were that pieces of the bar area were constructed to resemble a book. From the tap handles to the bar itself. They did a great job encapsulating their creativity. I'm still a newbie to beer, but the juice box was perfect! Highly recommend!

This was a nice location for our book club to meet. I love the literary theme. Parking can be a challenge, but worth it. We had a great time hanging out and discussing our latest read. The staff was welcoming and willing to describe their beers and make recommendations. The brews were nice. I would like to go back for another visit during warmer weather.

I absolutely loved the decor of this brewery. The bar with the stacked books is awesome. The taps that look like the spine of a book was great. I came on trivia night so it was a bit crowded. Luckily I found a table and sat. So I took in the trivia as I ate my BBQ and drank my beer. I got a flight of four beers and I loved three of the four. This is a great spot to enjoy quality beer.

Fiction Beer made me smile! Love the decor featuring upcycling of paperbacks and hardcovers, as is only fitting. I also loved that beers were inspired by novels, stories, and the like - not to mention they tasted good! I will also note I appreciated that they had seltzers available; my husband cannot have beer and we are always bummed when places can't accommodate his dietary needs. Will absolutely be coming back!

The patio here is 10/10 awesome both in warm and cold weather. The inside is super cute, I love the book decor! The names of all of the beers are awesome and they do tons of fun events like game night and book club. Beer tenders are always friendly and the beer itself is good as well.

Madame psychosis hazy ipa was so so yummy! Came for trivia and it was a fun spot but wouldn't say the trivia was worth coming back fork. Beer was good but not an extensive selection. Service was excellent though. If you're in the area worth a try! Also once the weather gets nicer they have a nice patio!

Literature and beer! What a great combination! In fact at home I have various beer cans of artistic merit on display with my books in my book room. For Literature Brewing we tried three different beers, all of which we highly enjoyed. The first beer was the amber wheat lager, A Beer of Very Little Brain which was a great beer! I love amber, wheat and lager features making this beer a favorite out of the three. The second one was not far behind the first on favorability it was the Honey Swarm Rye Pale Ale. A very creative beer in flavor and one I recommend. The third beer was a Cold IPA, Nameless Leader which also was excellent. Not quite as wild about that one as the other two but still enjoyable and kudos for a type of IPA I don't see often!

There is just something epic about drinking beer that's inspired by books! We had a few of different types of beer and enjoyed them all. You can tell the beer is thoughtfully brewed. Bartender was extremely helpful and happy to talk books and beer! They have plenty of board games to hang out. And their tables have cool author quotes on them. It's a great place to bring friends and chill! When we went there was also a food truck, I believe they list their food schedule on instagram

We were looking for a spot to have a few beers (because - Denver) before dinner, and this was on the way from the hotel. The spot seems pretty small, I bet it's awesome in the summer when the patio opens up. We walked up to the bar and were immediately helped. I had the donut beer, which was awesome - light and flavorful. My coworker had a flight and she seemed to really like it. Cool little space, perfect for a couple beers after work!

A good friend lives nearby, so we stopped by on a nice Friday evening to get a few beers and chat. Indoor and outdoor seating was available, so we sat inside. The beer company has a literary vibe to it. We stayed quite a while sipping our beers as the sun went down. The end of the week/weekend has food trucks outside that will bring your food into you, which is nice. I like a dark beer, and was not disappointed with me choice (ended up drinking the same flavor all night). This is a great little local bar/brewery, with to go options if you want to relax at home with a nice beer.

Fiction is a great little brewery if you're ever in Denver. They have great beers and a friendly staff. I love how the tap handles are made from old book bindings along with the bar itself. The inside is a bit small but they have an outdoor patio as well. Bring a book (or read one they have on the shelf) and enjoy a delicious beer! Parking is limited in the lot as it is shared with an apartment but plenty of space on the street!

Really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place! The beer was pretty delicious as well. As a Denver visitor, we got the impression this is definitely a local spot. There was a collection of friendly groups playing Trivia on the Thursday night we visited. They don't serve food, BUT they did have a food truck serving up tapas outside. Not sure if that's the norm, but I got the impression it was. To top it off, we grabbed some beers to go which we are excited to drink on later. Cool spot!

I've been to this brewery several times, so I'm surprised that I haven't reviewed it. I'm also a librarian which is even a greater disappointment! I had their wonderful beer slushie because I'm a sucker for slushies! Such a friend beertender and welcoming environment. I appreciated the book theme and creative names for beer. Highly recommend if you're a reader and beer lover.

This was a fun local brewery! It's a bit of a juxtaposition, with crazy Colfax buzzing outside, but a bunch of books inside! Cool set up with the literature and quotes on the tables. Kinda reminds me of Cerebral Brewing too. I got the Sour Ale Slush. First time ever trying a beer slush is! It was great ! Lots of tropical flavors, mostly pineapple and coconut. The bartender was friendly and it was pretty quiet inside. Still pretty small, but solid brews guys!

For a Monday afternoon that very much required a beer, Fiction came through. Its patio was open for on-site imbibing (as opposed to some other nearby breweries), and I was frankly impressed by how covid-safe I felt while enjoying a brewery atmosphere. Currently, they have 8 heated, glass greenhouse-like huts for parties of up to 4 people to chill outdoors and have a brew. We were quite cozy, and the heater, while small, more than cut the cold snap in the air. I enjoyed the "Fingerprints," a west coast style IPA with 90 ibus (and a hint of pineapple? That's what I got at least!) , and my wife loved the juicy "6" (east coast ipa). Ok, we had more than one. Other than the clunky online ordering system (we decided to just go outside and ask the waitress after trying to maneuver it for 10 minutes), we had a blast. Would totally return during and after this covid madness.

Been wanting to try this place for a very long time, as we love our local breweries. So on this rainy Saturday, perfect for beer drinking, upon entering we were promptly asked to LEAVE. Apparently the entirety of the place was rented out for the afternoon, with the only warning of that, was a small sign on the door. Look I get it, private event, but there should have been better signage and /or an employee to stop us before we went in and were made to feel like asses because we didn't see a small sign, and apparently don't know your Instagram( we were told," I posted it on Instagram and everything"). We drive by this place often and today seemed like a good day to stop and check it out. Apparently you need to check the Instagram of a stranger before you go. Needless to say, it's OFF our Denver brewery tour list. NOTE: afterwards we did check Fiction's Insta and Facebook and we found NOTHING posted about a private event.

What a boring brewery! I came here with my boyfriend during a recent visit to Denver and was super geeked about it being a book-centric bar because I am a total book nerd and couldn't believe my luck in a place having 2 of my very favorite things: beer and books! I'd excuse the lackluster service and boring vibe as it being a Sunday, only that we visited other breweries that same day that were packed and radiating much better energy. The bartender seemed bored and only chatted with an eccentric patron on the other end of the bar. There was no music playing and very few customers. We did notice and outdoor seating area but opted to stay seated at the bar. We enjoyed 1 beer each and quickly left. I wouldn't return here or recommend a visit.

A literary inspired brewery? Yes, please! It doesn't take much to find breweries in Denver when you need one, and thankfully this was closest to where my family and I were having dinner. What do you need after dinner? More beer! Fiction Beer Company's brews are inspired by literature and I ended up with A Beer of Very Little Brain, thanks to Winnie the Pooh! It's a wheat beer made with honey malt... Perfect to honor everyone's favorite bear! I also gave Heart of Hearts a try, a Belgian Triple with dragonfruit. It was the prettiest color and also darn delicious. I'll admit I'm not a beer expert but everyone in my group was able to find something to suit their fancy. The night we swung by they had live trivia going on (Thursday). My friends and I opted for giant Jenga and cornhole on the patio instead. They also have lots of board games (and books, duh). My lil bro and I were impressed to see one of our childhood favorites on the shelves: Pay Day. To know it is to love it. All in all, I would definitely come back for a brew or two! It's a nice neighborhood spot with a lovely patio if the weather is apt.

Went here on a Saturday afternoon. It was busy because it was the weekend of Saint Patrick's Day. Very friendly bartenders. Beers were decent. I really liked their winter spiced ale. The mint Stout was awesome. Very minty. Their bier de garde was decent. The theme is awesome. Books and beer is a great idea. Cheers.

Beer and books? Am I in heaven?? Fiction is great - literary themed so the beers have cute names, but it's also some good beer! There are books and board games for you to enjoy, and a popcorn machine! Friendly and knowledgeable staff in this great space that gets a ton of sunlight. I enjoyed an apricot saison while reading my own book for a couple of hours and it was a great way to spend a lazy afternoon. There's parking in the back, free wifi and clean bathrooms. Awesome!

We stopped by Fiction after the bustle of Great American Beer Festival. They had just one a medal for one of their beers and were very excited. We came in the early evening, so much of the crowd was probably at GABF. I tried the Do Not touch the Flamingos which was great and their sour. Their sour wasn't how I usually like them and was more mild, but still great. I like this place and will keep coming back especially because it's a little further from downtown and less crowded. Food trucks are usually around, so you have a chance at those as well.

After doing a thorough sampling from their booth at Yelp's Merry Marrakesh event, Fiction Beer Company ended up becoming high on my list of local breweries to check out while in town. The taproom is a sweet place to enjoy a beer or five. There's couches to relax, glossy tables with witty beer quotes from famous writers on them. The bar is made out of a book bindings. A book nerd would have a field day examining the list of books used to assemble the bar counter. The two gals working were quite friendly and ready to pour some beer. We went with a flight of everything of course. I like how they stay on the literary theme with their brews by dividing them into several categories beginning with "The Classics". Out of these I enjoyed their Pale Ale and IPA. They are above average versions of their respective styles. All their beers come with names from books but I'll be damned if I remembered all of the names since this was our 4th brewery that we visited on this day. I was most very surprised to see that Fiction had an Ales for ALS beer. One of only three Colorado breweries chosen to brew for the charity foundation. They chose to use this exclusive hop to create an India Pale Lager. While I don't think they quite hit the mark, it's a worthy effort nonetheless. Their Baltic Porter was my favorite of the bunch. The low ABV dark beer isn't always a category I enjoy as they are often quite thin. This one was not. Great flavor and aroma with a pleasing character behind it. The lone beer from the "Fantasy and Fiction" series was a beer that I didn't expect to like but ended up loving. A deep, bright red Belgian Tripel with Dragonfruit. Neither Belgian nor fruity beers are my thing but this interesting combo came together quite well. The beers are all solid, the theme is cool. Certainly one of the breweries to check out when you're in the area.

This is THE Park Hill brewery. It's quiet, it definitely in the neighborhood, it's not afraid of east Colfax. If you want a quieter brewery experience with good beers, I think this might be the place. Popularity and audience is on the rise, but it seems this is generally a quieter (in terms of behavior, not attendance) brewery tap room than others in the Colfax / Park Hill / East Colfax area. Atmosphere wise, I guess the book/library theme is doing it's thing, and I like it! They got rid of the free popcorn, so bring your own munchies. Monday night in mid-August had the garage wall doors open, the bar full at 8pm, with some inside table and patio patrons as well. Tonight I had a steam-beer (lager yeast, under 70 degree temp) inspired wheat, an apricot saison, and a "Brut IPA" which is supposed to mimic Brut Champagne. The Brut IPA pushed it just a little more and came out the champ. IPAs are overplayed in this market so I could use a little less dank and a little more dryness and just a bit more of hard bitter. The hops profile is a little rounder and the palette isn't necessarily clean after a sip. Then again, this was the last 8oz of the night, so maybe I need to go back and try it fresh. Their beers seem to hit their target more often than not, all are clean ferments, but I think the amount/mix of hops across the board is a mistake in some cases. I'm still waiting for a great dry lager, saison, IPA etc. I love a drier, super carbonated saison like Dupont and while some of the local breweries are doing saison style everyone is doing new world, malty and/or fruity and/or over-hopped versions of saison. Gimme those tight bubbles and dat farmhouse funk! Okay, I shouldn't write like that. You crazy for this one, Fiction Beer Co! [!panderstop]

Sometimes you give a place another chance and you're happy that you did. My wife and I decided to wander over on a whim the other day and we are glad we did. I really liked the openness to the space, being nice out and all, with the garage door open and the patio. Being a week night, it was not very full so it really gave it that laid back feeling. Additionally, the bartender had more time to sit down and chat about beers, which I really enjoyed. I happened to see that the Alternate Present placed high recently at the World event so I had to try that one. The Nothing Rhymes with Orange intrigued me while Beta Capsule is one she felt was her favorite. I could see why Alternate won high accolades. It had a great taste, very satisfying while not being heavy. Orange took the prize for me. I never thought papaya and orange in an IPA would do this but it did do 'this' for me. Right now, I can't think of a better summer IPA/beer to drink. I hope they don't run out of this any time soon! I'd like to get back to have some more since a growler isn't an option. Finally, the Beta was good and for someone who isn't a huge fan of New England IPA's I would definitely consider getting this one again sometime. I have to say I was very impressed with everything I tasted and really want to get back here again sometime soon.

We regularly came here for well over a year and fell in love with the madame psychosis well before they won their GBF medal for it. We loved it so much we got it into our liquor store and visited the brewery at least once a week. Then Bam they win an award for it they take it off the menu and became so pretentious for such a small brewery we quit coming. So after almost an entire year we went back when we saw they put madame back on the menu. They completely changed the beer and it was NOT the same and the bartender I believe his name was Chris skinny guy with big glasses RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE! Cerebral Brewery right down the street is amazing! Both in Beers and Service!

The best beer we've had in Denver so far! We loved Fan Fiction and Pomona's Art!!! The Carrot Cake Sour was surprisingly really good and we got a 4 pack for our brother. Drew was The Best, the atmosphere and outdoor patio amazing! They sell Kettle Head popcorn and the Jalapeño Cheddar was a good drinking snack. Don't hesitate to try Fiction if you love craft beer!!!!

I love the creativity this taproom exudes in the naming of their beer, flavors, and atmosphere. It's relaxed enough that you may park your bum in a chair and read a book, meet with friends, play on your phone or just chat with random strangers. The guava beer on tap currently is really good!! Not overly sweet, smooth, rich in flavor, goes down easy. Go get yo'self one.

Stopped by Fiction Beer Company on a cold Saturday. This place will be great during the summer, especially with their refreshing beer menu. I had a "Do Not Touch the Flamingo" - Apricot Saison 7.75% ..... WOW, summer in my mouth! This is crisp, a tad bit tart and has the apricot notes coming through. I'm a light weight and can only have one. Very family friendly.

Mmmm! Beer. Not really anything more to say than that, but I'll try... So far, I've only tried a couple of their beers, and both were high quality! Fiction has a local, microbrewery feel with a great staff. Parking is a little nit limited, but if you are a danger seeker and willing to park on Colfax, no problemo.

Slightly better than mediocre beer. Pretty cool theme. Seriously outrageous pricing. We got four flight pours (4 oz I think) and two 8 ounce pours. 26 dollars before tip. Not worth it.

Decided to try this place on a whim. I liked the theme of the bar and the great descriptions they had for each of their beers. I also appreciated that they were participating in Ales for ALS, as that is a cause which is dear to my heart. In terms of the overall ambiance, the place was pretty chill. They had lots of seating and a nice outdoor patio. They even had a book bar! I also discovered that they have parking out back, so do keep an eye out for that. They had some comfier seating and board games as well. For beer, I had a sampler of a bunch of different things as well as the ALS IPL. The ALS IPL was my favorite. I really liked the earthy flavors of the hops used. A close second fave was the Waves and Ripples Gose. It had a bright, rich acidity and was super citrusy. I think that would be my go-to for a hot summer day. I didn't like their IPA or dragon fruit Belgian as much, but the Belgian in particular was very unique. I look forward to coming back with some folks to try some other things in the future.

I've got to preface this by saying I have never actually been in to the brewery itself. However, we are members of Craft Alley's beer drop. As such, we are lucky enough to receive crowlers of beer from Fiction on an almost monthly basis. I have NEVER had a beer from them that I did not love! They have the best IPA game in town. Instead of being one note and overly hoppy, they are very nuanced and subtle, with a great deal of variation among their different types. These people take their beer brewing seriously! Highly recommend that you swing by and try them out. So so good.

Wow, such amazing beer. Decided to stop in and try some samples, and I've now found a few beers that I liked and have actually exceeded my expectations and gone against what I normally order. Examples, below. Belgian style beers. Normally I dislike them for their overly floral aromas and flavors, but the one I had last night really changed my mind. It was crisp and refreshing thanks to the kaffir and just really lovely. It would be a great summer beer. Stouts. I don't like creamy, heavy beer as stouts typically are. This Milk Chocolate Green tea stout was just amazing and really blew me out of the water. It was literally like having a hot chocolate in beer form. If I had known I'd love it that much, I'd have just ordered a full glass of it. Milk chocolate and green tea you think sounds strange? Well the flavors actually play nicely together. Really good stuff, highly recommend you try if you're normally not a stout lover like myself. Of the beers I normally like, I found an awesome IPA as well. Experimental IPA was super tasty. Really sort of fruity but not in a gross and overly powerful sort of way. It made it refreshing. They added hops that have melon-y and citrus-y notes, and added real melon and grapefruit to boost the flavors. The end product was a lovely IPA that would be perfect for a summer day. My advice to you is go check this one out. I know there are a ton of breweries around here, but this one is truly worth a try.

My husband and I stopped by on a hot Sunday afternoon with our dog, and the guy working the bar (I assume possibly the owner) couldn't have been nicer! He checked in with us several times, wanted to know how we were enjoying the beer - this man cares a lot about his patrons' experience, and it makes all the difference. We had the Marzen and a Blueberry Radler that were both delightful. There was also a fantastic food truck, Chivis Tacos - get the churro! Will definitely come back soon.

What a cool, hip spot. Small, local craft place with quality brews, varying from sours to barrel-aged fare, and as you'd expect: a literary them throughout, from the inspiration for the beers to the shelves of books by the tables to the bar decor. Inside & outside seating when weather is good, and likewise a food truck for snacks it back. Swag available, too.

They have perfect and safe greenhouses if you prefer to sit outside (as we did with our group of 6) and they were warm and comfortable for 6 adults with food and drinks. My husband and I loved the beer selection and we plan on making another trip to Fiction very soon!

Stopped by Fiction on a Friday afternoon and was pleasantly greeted by the bartender. It wasn't too busy, so we decided to sit at a table. After perusing the beer menu, I decided to try "Do Not Touch the Flamingos," which was a delicious saison. It was so good, in fact, that I decided to have another one. Overall, I enjoyed my beers and the atmosphere at Fiction and would recommend that everybody stop by when they're in the area!

Fiction has so much fun with their literary theme. They love to dream up new book inspired beers and they constantly have exciting events like themed trivia and the cupcake and beer pairing that happens annually around Valentine's Day. Shakesbeer performances are always entertaining and there's free popcorn available on a daily basis. If you like playing games, there is a good assortment of options. The Pooh Bear inspired beer is great if you're not particularly adventurous. Liquid luck has a special place in my heart for it's inspiration but it isn't necessarily one of my favorites. I like the sour I had there recently. There's a good assortment of beer styles and plenty of events to keep me coming back!

One of my favorite breweries back home is also book themed so when I ran across Fiction I knew I would have to give it a shot. I ended up trying five different beers. Some I enjoyed more than others. Of what I had I really liked the Clockwork themed German beer. The atmosphere was very relaxed. The patio seemed very nice, but I spent my time at the bar. The huge doors that open up to the patio really help "bring the outside in". The only thing that is missing is food.

Fiction makes some really good beer and the bibliophile atmosphere is simultaneously hip and welcoming. The book bar is brilliant, the author quotes on the tables are great, and the names of the beers are fantastic! I really appreciate that they designed the back patio to be on the opposite side of the building from Colfax - quieter space but still feeling the CO sunshine. Pups allowed which is always a bonus to me! My only qualm comes with the bill. $7 a pint is steep. But a beer called Donut Panic (after Hitchhike's Guide)?! Ok, fine, you've got me hooked like a cliffhanger in a psych thriller. I'll be back for another chapter!

Delicious beers, free popcorn and knowledgeable staff equal happy Jesse. My favorite was a sour cherry beer. The fact that they offer tastings is great as I wouldn't have wanted a full pour on some of their choices. A Food Truck was outside. The food looked good but it was very expensive and the popcorn was perfect.
