Woods Boss Brewing Company

Fantastic spot with a beer for every palate—the vibe is awesome, and the service is top-shelf. Brooklyn was kind and made our visit exceptional. Before my wife and I stopped in, we read the reviews (we always do) and noticed a lone one-star complaint accusing her of being disrespectful and “fat-shaming” a family. After meeting Brooklyn, I can’t imagine her acting that way. There’s even a sign by the register that says “All are welcome,” no matter your race, orientation, etc. Don’t let that review fool you. Brooklyn is awesome and the place is amazing. 🍻

Huge place opens up inside. Interesting dark czech beer. They supposedly have a chess club night Wednesdays I think said, sounds fun anyone can show up to play.

Great place. I had their seasonal IPA and am sure I will crave it nightly. Super friendly patrons too.

Grundy Love- Belgian Strong Golden Ale goes great with Sweet & Spicy Denver Chips. Highly recommend.

Such a pleasant brewery, and their beers are delicious. The beertender JB was a great guy and made us feel very welcome. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Denver.

Having our wedding reception in the Woods Boss Taproom after the ceremony at The Lodge was an awesome experience. Chad and Katie were incredibly helpful during the wedding planning process. They, and the entire Woods Boss Team, were so supportive and we felt fully confident that they would make our vision come to life…and they did! The reception was a blast and so many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they had ever been too. Everyone loved the beer, the venue, and the great vibes. And we love that every time we come to Woods Boss to hang out we will get to remember our special day. Thank you for helping us make some of our best memories!

Great downtown brewery. had several beers: west coast ipa, hazy ipa, red ale.. all excellent. Servers were awesome.. Nathan and Emily were pleasant and knowledgeable and took great care of us! Definitely recommend and we will be back!

I made my first visit to Woods Boss Brewing Company on a Monday after work. It was an unusually wet day for Denver and the taproom made for a cozy place to watch the rain. The interior has a woodsy theme with hand saws, axes, and a Stihl chainsaw as decoration. I’m guessing the name is a play on the wood boss chainsaw made by Stihl? I like all things lumberjack and thought it was pretty cool! The bartender was friendly and quickly got me lined up with a hazy IPA. It was delicious and they had a wide assortment of IPAs. I had another style of hazy IPA and it was great as well! I look forward to going back and trying more of their beers. During my visit the atmosphere was pretty chill but there seems to be numerous events held through out the week and some live music on the weekends. I don’t think they serve food but the event board showed a food truck schedule. I had a great time and look forward to returning soon. I’m sure it will be a fun place to hangout on a pretty day. Embrace your inner lumberjack and stop by for a beer. You will be glad you did!

Second time here, the Mrs. and I again started with a flight. The Cerna Dira Czech Dark was our favorite. We each enjoyed a few of those after the flight. The Foothills Fire Red Amber was next up on the list of favorites. After that, both the Hisolda Irish coffee cream stout had potential, and my wife also thought the Stihl Crazy farmhouse Saison was ok as well. The Barrel Aged Noir Saison was quite interesting, but we agreed we didn't think we would like a large glass as much. Service at the bar was very friendly, and he even did a birthday shot with me. Great little brewery. I'm sure we'll be back.

I notice they did have little snack and pizza. We did not have any food since we were at the Christmas event at city park. But we had a beer the service was great was not too busy in a Friday night. Great atmosphere very laid back and pretty big space.

Colorado is ranked No. 6 or 7 with the most craft breweries in America per capita (if I'm not mistaken or crazy!) In such a state exists Woods Boss Brewing located downtown Denver on California and 22nd. Had it not been the networking event that the organizers organized it at this place tonight and I got to attend it, I wouldn't have known that this great brewery existed. As some of my friends know me as an avid wine drinker, when I rave about a brewery, they think it's a rarity. And I'm proud to be able to write a quick review of this place. This place is a bit away from many of the establishments located more in the heart of downtown. This is a blessing for them in a certain way because it's not overshadowed by the glamor of those over-the-top bars and restaurants many go to frequent and flock. It's somewhat unassuming on the outside but once you step in, a spacious high-ceiling interior welcomes you. When it comes to beer, it has to be something wheat based and with some fruitiness (I'm not an IPA person although I've had a great IPA once in the past.) When I was at the bar, the guy suggested that I'd get me the Fruity Flash: Fruited Kettle Sour (on tap.) In a tall glass ($7.96 with tax) it has/had a beautiful dark pink color to it. Like I said, I'm more of a wine person but this sour (although I'm not necessarily an expert in craft beer or sour in any way) is/was amazing and the best sour I've ever had (if it's not the best, it is one of the best.) The perfect sourness and a tad bit of sweetness and fruitiness, I bet the worst critic in the world may possibly rave about this refreshing sour. I truly appreciated the generous pour of it at the price of less than $8. If some out-of-state visitor asks for a recommendation for a brewery, I would name this place in a heartbeat. On the way to the restrooms, I saw a merchandise section on the right. And to the left was where the craft brewing takes place. I wonder if they do offer brewery tour here. I bet they do.

So fun and tasty! We came here on a quick trip to Denver for a bball game and were delighted to find creative craft brews. The flights have solid pours, and you can try 5 of the long list of beers available. The blonde stout quickly took the top of my list, and we were glad to have been advised by the team behind the bar. Can't wait to get back there again soon.

The atmosphere and games is what stands out to me about woods boss. They have cool tree trunk stands for your drinks, large and warm room, and fun bar games. Oddly enough the shuffleboard-like game where you slide pucks into wholes was actually my favorite addition. It is a great game that I could see going here for just to play. The beer itself was decent but nothing amazing and the staff was friendly every time we have been there.

A brewery you must check out. I love beers and finding new breweries with good vibes and nice variety of beers to choose from. Woods Boss did not disappoint. Upon entering it gave me wood cabin vibes, it was very cozy and wide open. The bartender was friendly, she told us about all the beers and helped us build our flight. Everything was great. They even had a nice skittles style seltzer that was pretty sweet, but it was nice and refreshing and a nice break from all the beer. I enjoyed the couches they had for seating and they also had a large wall for merchandise. I personally loved their winter ale - it was spiced and comforting. Everything I wanted in cold weather!

Another great Denver brewery find! Woods Boss is an "outdoorsy" themed downtown Five Points brewery with a great open space concept and outdoor seating area and wonderful open window bar seating (which was perfection for the wonderful evening weather the day I went) was a great stop to enjoy a flight. Staff was absolutely awesome, welcoming, engaging, and willing to help you find your perfect beer selections. My beertender even let me try a few samples (they have a very eclectic and varied beer selection and lineup, so you will not have an issue finding something you like here) before making my beer flight choices.  It had a very laid back vibe, even when it got packed. Definitely worth a stop when in the downtown area.  Gone Walkabout Australian Sparkling Ale 6.1%  Czech Dam Pilsner 5.5%  Keller View Kellerbier 5% Reviresco Scottish Ale 9.5%  The Oswald NEIPA 7.1%

"Once a Forest of Flavor, Now a Sad, Leafless Stump" Ah, Woods Boss Brewing Company ...what happened to you? You used to be the Gandalf of Denver breweries--wise, magical, bearded--and now you're more like Gollum hoarding mediocre beer and calling it "precious." Let me set the stage: after nearly two years of peaceful avoidance (thanks to my deep lack of enthusiasm for the ownership, which has all the charm of a DMV on fire), I decided to give this place another shot. Nostalgia whispered sweet lies into my ear: "Maybe it's better now... Maybe The Oswald still slaps..." Oh, foolish me. The Oswald--my old flame, my hazy IPA hero--returned to me as a ghost of its former self. Not hazy. Not juicy. Not anything except "eh." It looked more like a Pale Ale after a 3-day juice cleanse and tasted like regret. This was a betrayal of mythic proportions. You can't just say it's The Oswald if it's clearly been replaced by an imposter. That's not brewing. That's gaslighting. How do you let your flagship beer fall apart like this? It's like watching the Titanic sink again--but this time, Leonardo DiCaprio's been replaced with a soggy piece of toast. Ownership, if you're reading this (and let's be honest, you're probably not because accountability seems... not your thing), please know that I'm not mad. I'm disappointed. Okay, no--I am mad. You've turned what used to be a solid hangout into a monument of missed potential. The beer is bland, the vibes are off, and the only thing hazy is the logic behind still keeping this place afloat. If you're looking for a brewery where flavor goes to die and nobody seems to notice or care--boy, do I have the spot for you. Otherwise, take your taste buds somewhere that respects them. Farewell, Woods Boss. I'll always remember the good times, but I'm not hiking back into this forest of sadness again.

My company has an office space nearby and so the local office staff picked Woods Boss to take me to for an after work drink. Woods Boss was their go to for events, because it was nearby and while they didn't have a kitchen you could easily bring in food from outside. The space had a log cabin type motif but with plenty of space at the bar and at the tables and there was a large alumni group. The bartenders were friendly and walked me through their tap selection. I started off with a few of their sours, one was good and the other was just all right. I walked out with two 4-packs, one of their flagship beer, an IPA and an Imperial version. I liked the Imperial but I tried it a little quicker than I would have liked-on my drive back to my hotel one of the cans had burst while I was driving; one of the cans had somehow come part at the seams and caused a bit of a mess.

I really like the beers and the space at Woods Boss. They now have a back area, too, for renting the space and performances. The main front area is still where I've spent my time. It's ample and staff has always been pretty cool. Try some new beers in a cool spot!

This is such a great spot in Downtown Denver! There are so many great breweries in Denver, and with some big popular ones, it can be harder to find the great little ones around town. I recent stopped in here and loved the outdoorsy theme for everything. They have a great variety of beers, as well as some non-alcoholic options. The bartender was so friendly and gave some great recommendations. I've heard that they have some great trivia nights here, if you're looking for something fun to do with friends! This is a great spot for groups, as they have larger tables and other seating areas for get-togethers. The inside is very comfortable and casual, and is a great spot for a fun, relaxing night. If you're looking for another great Colorado brewery to check out, this should definitely be on your list!

We stopped here thanks to our hop passport. I had the hard slushie margarita flavored, and my husband had an IPA. It was a fun place to grab a drink, and it seems they host a lot of different events. Would return.

What a great "Colorado-y" brewery to hit up. LOVED the wood bar, which of course plays into the name. Wife and I hit here up because they had an Earth Day event (and that is our anniversary). We constructed plants to take home. We arrived at opening, snagged a bar seat in almost empty place. It filled up FAST, and became very energetic. LOTS of IPA's to choose from for me. Trail Time was my favorite. Coastal Companion was good too, and didn't have bandwidth to mess with the 9% Trail God because I was driving, but I will be back for it. Wife was happy, as they had a Rain Hard Seltzer, and she liked it. To give a comparison, she lives and dies by White Claw Black Cherry, so if she liked it, then you have the foundation of where the opinion came from. There was a birthday celebration starting to build when we left, and I would think this place would be a fun place to host an event. They blocked off the area for them. There is also a Lodge by same company, which you get to either outside or through the maze of hallways. It wasn't open when we went, but we had already seen a show there, and it is a cool spot. Oddly, I didn't ask the employees' names, but that is shame on me. Both bartenders were great, and very efficient. They also have a VIP club that sounded like a fun deal. Definitely recommend and see you there.

Woods Boss is a def must try when in Denver. The beers are some of the tastiest of the local beers. I always do flites when I go to a brewery so I dont deprive myself of all the goodness. I would recommend this as well (unless you have been there and know what you like!) Dark lover, go for Dark Hedges. Ale? try the Foothills Fire Red. I get that tasting is subjective to the individual but I guarantee you will find something you love here. Atmosphere is super cool, servers are amazing! Drink local! Go to Woods Boss!

There is a lot to like about this spot. Plenty of seating options. I am surprised how a brewery so close to Downtown has such a large streetside patio with free two hour street parking. Their stout had the balance I want with a hint of coffee bitter with a creamy malt finish. True to its name there's wood finish on all the surfaces in this cavernous loft space. On the weekends they have live music. A pretty chill crowd. There was a live latin jazz band, and to my surprise no one graced the dancefloor.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the event space, The Lodge. Everything was perfect! It was really simple to book, see the space, and have all of our questions answered. The team did such a beautiful job getting the space ready for us and the service was amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better night! Thanks Rachael and team

Hilarious that I've been to Woods Boss so many times and never took a single good picture for Yelp. Will have to do that next time! This is officially my favorite brewery in Denver. I've brought dates and friends here, as well as worked by myself for a few hours. Only downside is the 2-hour street parking that means moving my car every so often. The Coastal Companion IPA is my go-to, and I love how many beer options they have in general. The bartenders are fantastic with recommendations and samplers. Their décor and swag tables are fun, as well as the availbility of Colorado popcorn as a snack. There's chess sets, or bring your own games. The vibe here is just the best overall. There's not too many food options nearby, except Carbon (when it's actually open) so I'd recommend driving elsewhere instead. The Merc is around the corner for dancing, and there's an escape room next door I've been meaning to visit. I tend to be super focused on having a good time at Woods Boss, though. Would give this 6 out of 5 stars if I could!!

This must be one of the premier breweries in Denver. Great location, great atmosphere, and great service. I got a flight of beer and they were all superb. Amazing quality. Would love to go back.

Woods Boss has some delicious brews to choose from. They have just about every type of beer so you can be sure to find one you enjoy. The staff was extremely friendly and the space was very open. They didn't have any food but a great place to pop in for a good beer.

Awesome family friendly (at least on MLK day) brewery that actually had a sour! I'm not a huge beer girl but I do like sours and they are typically hard to come by. But Woods Boss had a great fruity/tart sour that hit all the right notes for me. I also tried a sip of one of the other beers they had, I believe it was a lager, and it was also quite tasty!

Went there on 2/11/23. First time here. There is street parking. It's probably not the best area. There are tables outside. A lot of tables inside. Looks like they Can some of their beer and bottle a few. The day we went their crowler machine wasn't working. We were just there to get some beer to go. Was able to try a taster of their Winter Warner. This beer was awesome. Very friendly bartender. We just ended up getting a bottle of a Golden Strong Ale. I'll let you know how it is. Definitely come back to try more beers. Cheers!

A nice place with good beer and decent atmosphere. Very friendly bartenders. Yelp wants 85 characters so here you go yelp.

This was the first stop on our trip to downtown Denver. It's a short walk from our hotel, so we stopped in for a few beers. We ordered a flight of Colorado Wildlife Cantaloupe-Kettle sour Dude where's my truck-Sour Speaking Truth to Stupid-Saison Rogtoberfest-Marzen The Curtain With-IPA Cerna Dira-Dark lager Full pour of Phantom Grumper-California common No Root No Peacock-Strawberry blond All the beers we had were on point and really good, especially the kettle sour that had just the right amount of sourness I like in a beer. The saison had a nice hint of smoke character to it, my husband really enjoyed this and the marzen the most. I highly recommend trying this place.

We came in from KC and weren't disappointed! What a cool space, tons of seating, great vibe, cool art (for sale), and incredible beer! We loved the Hisolda and stuck with it the majority of the time! So glad we found you!

Great selection of beers. Sit at the bar and have and enjoy a great conversation with the bartender! Great place while visiting Denver.

Another great Denver brewery! We have had three different beers from Woods Boss thus far and really enjoyed them! We had the Oswald which was a very refreshing and brisk New England IPA that we had and was perfect for the warmer day we were having. Another enjoyable one was the Fruity Flash which was a really tasty fruited sour which was a fun one to drink. That one was very well balanced! And the third one that we enjoyed was another sour but a Berliner Weisse which was a real easy one to drink. Loved the wheat features to that one! This brewery has lots of other beer options from those three and I'm excited to explore some of those in the future!

This brewery just blew my taste buds out of this world! Tons of IPA selections and their hazy's were so good! They offer hard seltzers and I'm not a seltzer drinker but their strawberry daiquiri has changed that! So many beers that I must go back and try them all!! This place felt like you were in a cabin in the middle of downtown. Must try!!

Chill environment with good beer and plenty of seating. Was my first stop after landing in Denver and I was not disappointed with the service.

About a 15-20 min walk from the convention center. About a block away, there was a little homeless encampment but no one bothered us. Inside, the place was so nice! Bartender was a peach! Their beers on tap were really good! And they were about to have live music on Wednesday night! We had to leave for dinner reservations but would have been fun to hang out there more. I was quite impressed with the Denver beer scene!

Arrived a little past the 2 pm opening to find lights on but nobody home. Waited.....just long enough to step next door into the Carbon Cafe & Bar, where I happily found Woods Boss brew on tap amid more attentive service. Woods Boss, if you're not gonna try, then just close, and sell wholesale brew to those that do wanna try.

This was on our list to stop by when in Denver. The place is awesome. The look of it. The decor. It's awesome. They have a temporary patio outside with turf down. It's a nice addition so people can sit outside. The beers were good. I tried the watermelon seltzer. Wow it was tart. My husband loved the milk stout.

I have always been a big Woods Boss Brewing fan but I really like what they have done to adapt to Covid times. The space is quite big and they have the garage doors open when the weather is nice, so if you are comfortable sitting inside, you are guaranteed to have plenty of space. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I once threw a surprise birthday party there and they let me reserve a whole section for the evening at no cost or minimum. I like that there is plenty of parking around, new outdoor seating, and you are able to make a reservation! So many places in the area are first come first serve and with new capacity rules and it is almost impossible to get a table. I like to know I can rely on reserving a spot at WBB. My only complaint is that they really need to level out the picnic tables on the grass. Waaay too much of a gangster lean going on to make it enjoyable to sit there. Finally, the beer! I think the beer at Woods Boss has come a long way from when I first tried it a few years ago. I think their hazies have gotten juicier and they've gotten pretty creative with some of their other styles- love to see it!

Shout out to Woods Boss Brewing Company for supporting the recent Volunteers of Outdoor Colorado (VOC) event "80s Bands and Public Lands" celebration at Washington Park! Their beer was delicious and the brewer was on-hand to greet everyone! I highly recommend the Firehouse Red Ale - in honor of the brewmaster who is/was also a wildland firefighter. Respect!!

My new favorite beer is The Right Side of the Hammock at Woods Boss. I adore hoppy, piney, west coast IPAs, and this one hits just right. I also love hammocks. Cool brewery in a huge industrial space on California. Lots of sidewalk seating and a spacious interior as well. I greatly enjoyed the tree stump table. With my legs dangling from a high barstool, it felt like sitting in a tree. Woods Boss is the perfect place to beat the summer heat and enjoy a cold one. They have it all - knowledgeable bartenders, mysterious brews aging in local whiskey barrels, and, most importantly, great beer.

Our first time to Woods Boss was not a bust. It's a great, wide open space with plenty of comfy seating. People are sitting at the bar, at high tops or on the perimeter with a pint and their laptops running queries. Beers are nothing short of excellent. They have about 20 home brews on tap, everything from the in style IPAs of today, to Czech style Pilsner, rye and everything in between. Great place for a function or party as well and now you can take cans of your favorite home!

Mountain vibes with crisp brews and sours relaxing vibes, has wall hooky, chess and homemade Denver siracha popcorn yes to Jazz Sundays

Dogs allowed on patio only. Great place to visit on a sunny day! The area has a lot of homeless but we were not bothered, Park in a lighted area just in case.

Great location and great beers. Spacious and lots of seating. They have a good beer selection and also do flights. They also do live music which is awesome. Good selection of merch as well. One of our top fav breweries in Denver.

Woods Boss has a great atmosphere for chilling and hanging out with friends, but I wasn't sold that I loved the beer more than other places. Walked into the brewery and it was like walking into a log cabin--everything was gorgeous and had a really inviting feel. They have these long wooden tables that are single pieces of wood that span for multiple couches (super impressive and fantastic). They have a mix of bar seating, high top tables, couches, and a few standing areas. The tables can also be booked out for events if you're looking for a cool space for a birthday party or some other celebration. The people behind the bar were amazing. They were super helpful in giving advice based on my preferences and were always willing to give me a sample before I went all in for a pint (thank you!!). However, in terms of beers, these were not my favorites. I was very happy with the kettle sour on tap, but that was really the only one I tasted that I'd be happy with having a glass of. The place was packed though, so I'm assuming that others feel differently. But I'd definitely return for the chill atmosphere! Thanks for a good space for drinking a beer and playing games, Woods Boss!

Best beer in Denver. Got the Irish cream stout and the margarita seltzer 10/10 would drink again. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating and dog friendly.

This location sits amidst three apartment buildings. They believe it's a great concept to host block parties featuring bands playing all day with music echoing through my apartment, disregarding all the residents around who seek a peaceful living environment. There's a lack of respect for fellow residents and their need for tranquility. I used to frequent this place, but I won't be supporting them financially anymore and will recommend alternative venues for our company's happy hours.

This place is awesome! It has a very woodsy, outdoorsy vibe (as to be expected from its name) which has the potential to feel tacky but this place does it well. It is large with tons of seating but also feels very cozy inside, with lots of different seating options - high top, low top, couch, stump tables, and bar. The beer we had was delicious and the service was great as well.

Another freaking awesome local brewery! While visiting Denver, I found more than 20 local breweries with a short drive of my hotel. Unfortunately, I couldn't visit them all. Based on the numerous reviews on both Yelp and Untappd, Woods was one of the best. The reviews were not wrong. I had a nice flight of several different styles and all were excellent! The bartender was friendly and very knowledgeable. A five star experience. No food though. I recommend Carbon next door for that.

I really wanted to like this place, and maybe I need to go back and try more beers. It's a huge brewery with tons of seating, mostly indoor but some outdoor, and busy but not overly crowded on a Friday night. The beers I had were good, but not great. They have a San Diego IPA called "coastal companion" (pictured) that the bartender told me was going to be a mix between a NE IPA and a west coast IPA, juicy and slightly hazy, but it wasn't hazy and wasn't super juicy either. It was more bitter and difficult to drink before it started to get warm. That was another thing I noticed right off the bat - the beer was not very cold as it was served. The next one I tried was a fruited kettle sour that was nice and tart, slightly fruity, definitely could get the pineapple in the midst of all the sour. Going to have to get back to try more of their beers!

Best brewery ever. Amazing beer. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Awesome place. Don't miss it.

During the pandemic, I've had a lot of beers from a lot of breweries, and Woods Boss is up there as one of my favorites. Their beers are consistently solid and what's more helpful is that their descriptions are accurate. That makes it very helpful to choose. My favorite beer so far is their Fifth Point IPA. Although the Colorado Strong ale is up there too. The space looks pretty cool and it's huge. They have some outdoor seating as well as a bunch of tables inside. I can't wait to go and have a few pints with friends. They partner with some other local businesses to have food delivered sometimes right to your table. Sweet! I've only had beers to go from there, and they have crowlers if you prefer the larger format. It doesn't matter to me. I would trust that any of their beers would be fine, just pick your style or pick a few! A solid brewery, and one of my top choices.

This is a great brewery. They have a little bit of something for every palate. Do you fancy a Scottish Ale or an English Strong Ale? How about a New England IPA or a Lager? The vibe is great, the staff friendly. The rustic decor is welcoming and they have great tunes playing...and not too loudly. You can use Arryved making closing your tab simple.

Woods Boss Brewing Company is def serving up something fantastic - and I'm totally digging it! Why?! Well since you asked - let's talk about it! The Space/Atmosphere: The space is large! It features various couches and community style seating made of halved tree trunks. There's lots of raw wood and exposed brick throughout. Two large roll-up doors let all that excellent spring weather in and lead to two smaller sidewalk style patios with picnic tables. The whole space, even with it's large size, gives off a great mountain cabin feel. The tap list is even written on trail type directional signage. Love love LOVE! The Service: The beertender during my visit was awesome. While the guests ahead of my browsed the menu and asked to try a couple beers before deciding on their order; he got my fight started. We chit-chatted about the brewery, how long they had been open, and the various menu offerings. He was on it! The Brews: Excellent! I chose to sip on a flight of four - so I could sample a few different offerings from their menu. For my flight I chose: Fruity Flash (sour ale), Flashcard (sour ale), The Dreams that Stuff are Made of (saison), and One for the Dogs (coffee sweet stout). All were solid! I tend to lean towards sours and saisons when the weather is warmer. The Fruity Flash was phenominal - perfectly fruity with a sour tang. They have a little of everything available; so bring beer lovers of all types! I can safely say I'll be returning to Woods Boss Brewing Company in the very near future!

Great ambience! Talked music with our super cool bartender Shane. Liked every brew we tried. The Brewmaster was a hometown guy that was fun to talk to.
