When you love beer, and you have an evening flight out of the C Terminal at Denver International Airport; you end up at Great Divide Brewhouse and Kitchen.
Upon arrival, the place was hopping. We waited in a very short queue. After maybe 7 minutes, we were shown to our table inside. I love love love the back bar and display of Great Divide cans really sets a mood.
We sipped on a variety of brews including: samurai (rice lager), hazy IPA, and strawberry rhubarb sour. I was really excited to see that the margarita gose was on the menu, but apparently they just ran out - major bummer. It's def a favorite beer of mine. While we had both had all the brews we chose before, they satisfied our thirst. After browsing the menu, we both chose to nosh on the brewery burger with fries. The brewery burger is a very typical burger: local beef, white cheddar, lettuce, tomato, mayo, on a brioche bun. It was cooked well and everything was delicious. I was truly impressed with the large pile of dries we got with our meals. They were of the steak fry variety and golden fried.
I think the biggest drawback to our visit was the "ordering system" - there was one, but there wasn't one. Living in the post-COVID world, we are all accustomed to scanning a QR code on a table to review a menu. When we did that, we were directed to a very cumbersome, and not user-friendly ordering platform I think I have experienced. When our server arrived at our table, he informed us that it wasn't the best platform and provided us with paper menus. He checked back with us throughout our visit, but it felt like they were understaffed and a little disorganized to handle the packed space.
Great Divide Brewhouse and Kitchen def got the job done. When at Denver International Airport, I'd make my way back for a bite and brew again in the future.
Cheers, Denver!
