Rarely am I all in on a brewery review after my first visit, but damn if Green Mountain Beer Company didn't earn it! Seeking a place to grab a bite and brew after hiking in the James Peak Wilderness before I made my way home, Green Mountain Beer Company popped up, and I was right on my way.
SPACE/ATMOSPHERE: Love it! Outside, they have a great little patio space featuring misters for those hot Colorado summer days. Moving inside, the space is quite large, with a ton of seating for every size and type of group. They are dog friendly, so feel free to bring your furry friend with you. There's a refrigerator of to-go beer inside near the patio entrance and merch near the door and displayed above the bar. They also go growler fills and crowlers if nothing in the grab and go fridge catches your eye.
SIPS: Just wow! First, I chose to sip on the Rosy Dawn Peach Sour. This brew was bursting with flavor. For my second brew, I just had to try the Prickly Pear Margarita Hard Seltzer. I have found that most seltzers tend to disappoint me. Not this one - it was amazing! The flavor was fantastic and the color was so vibrant! Def the new standard I have for craft seltzers.
SUSTENANCE: While they carry a few snacks from Denver Chip Company, but the food truck line-up is where they shine. During my visit, Cilantro & Perejil was slinging their drool-worthy goods out front, and I def noshed on some of it. You can get the full food truck line up on their website.
SERVICE: The beertenders here were so incredibly friendly. Throughout my visit, they checked on my to see if there was anything I needed and made great conversation. They were also super prompt at bussing away empties and grabbing the next round. Love it!
SWAG: Stickers, sweaters, shirts, beanies - oh my! Like most breweries, they def have a selection of swag available to show your Green Mountain Beer Company love.
While I don't find myself in Lakewood frequently, I can def say that Green Mountain Beer Company is worthy of a special visit. So next time I can, I'll def be making my way back!
Cheers, Lakewood!
**COVID Note: Green Mountain Beer Company has great COVID precautions in place, including host check-in upon arrival and table markers to ensure that they get wiped down between guests. Nice!
