My husband and I came here during a brewery crawl for his 30th birthday. I had never heard of Jagged Mountain before researching stops to make, so we were excited to go into a place where we had no idea what we were in for.
We ended up coming here twice in the four days we were in Denver because we LOVED everything about Jagged Mountain.
First of all, the space is huge - we came on a Friday (during the day) and a Sunday, and while it was crowded, there were always spaces available (we sat in the same spot at the bar both times). There are long tables for bigger groups and a wraparound bar that makes it accommodating for groups (or individuals).
I'm honestly so surprised to read reviews of cliquey staff who weren't attentive because on both occasions, we had the polar opposite experience. The staff was amazing - my biggest regret is not getting names to give shout outs to the lovely staff who was so wonderful.
The beers are broken into the cutest categories - Trailhead, Base Camp, and Summit, depending on the alcohol content.
We decided to do flights, with my husband just settling on the Trailhead (a Wit, Pilsner, Blood Orange Gose Sour, and a Porter), and me mixing and matching with the Wit, Gose, a hazy session IPA called the Rocky Mountain Chowdah, and the Cattywampus, a 9.3% ABV Grapefruit IPA.
Every beer was unique and delicious - and so inexpensive that I thought they rang us up incorrectly. The Cattywampus and Rocky Mountain tied as my favorites, and the Gose was delicious (and would be a good starter for someone nervous about sour beers). My husband loved the Pilsner (so much that he ordered an additional larger sized one).
We had such a great time (and left with a great buzz) that we decided to return to Jagged Mountain on the Sunday that we were flying back home. This time they had a new beer that had just tapped, the Hey Diddle Diddle, aka my spirit beer, which was an American Wheat beer with apricot, blood orange, and rose. It was AMAZING. Like, I am dreaming of it and missing it now it was so good. Again, it was an amazing experience with the staff too - everyone was so friendly and genuinely warm, plus incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the beer they were brewing.
Seriously, do not miss out on heading here - the beer is delicious and the staff is wonderful. I wish we had more days to keep coming back.
