New Image Brewing (NIB) stands tall among Colorado's best craft brewers, getting better every year. I can only fault them for being across town from me. I've been twice since Covid, once in August, and just recently. Both visits told the same story, one of superlative suds, fantastic French fries, and the kind of sincere service you wish every place offered.
Seating: They have festooned their back patio & parking lot with tables and covered much of the space with tents that allow free airflow. While this was nicer in August, we did just fine this week in 47 degree temps. Just remember to dress warmly for the wind!
Beer: NIB excels with New England Style IPAs, innovative pastry stouts, and creative sours. Some of these can exceed 10% abv. Fortunately, they offer 4oz pours so we can try more than one. Their IPAs consistently nail the soft mouthfeel NEIPAs are known for, but never miss the mark or go over the top with hoppy goodness.
Food: The menu offers tacos, wings, nachos, and tortas that look anything but ordinary. We split the chorizo queso fries yesterday and could not have been happier. In fact, these may have been the most satisfying fries I've ever had!
Service: Everyone we spoke to shared enthusiasm for and strong knowledge of NIB's brews, in addition to being super friendly and helpful. Here's a shout out to Simon, who went out of his way to show us a good time.
Downsides? No kids, no dogs for the time being, but this makes perfect sense during a pandemic. Everything else rates five stars.
