When it comes to beer, few cities do it better than Denver. Sitting a mile above sea level with a taste for bold hops and experimental brews, the Mile High City is a craft beer paradise. Whether you're a hophead, a sour lover, or just someone who likes their beer cold and flavorful—Denver delivers.
🍺 Why Denver Is a Craft Beer Capital
Denver isn’t just a city that drinks beer—it’s a city that lives beer. With over 150 breweries in the metro area, Denver ranks among the top beer cities in the U.S. It’s home to the Great American Beer Festival, one of the largest beer events in the world, and it boasts a brewing culture rooted in quality, innovation, and community.
🔥 Must-Visit Breweries in Denver
Here are some local favorites that keep the taps flowing and the vibes high:
-
WeldWerks Brewing Co. (Technically in Greeley, but worth the trip): Known for hazy IPAs and pastry stouts that push the limits.
-
Our Mutual Friend Brewing: A neighborhood gem with creative beers and serious local cred.
-
Cerebral Brewing: Science-meets-flavor with unique IPAs, saisons, and sours.
-
Ratio Beerworks: Great beer + punk rock energy. A perfect combo.
-
Great Divide Brewing Co.: A Denver OG with heavy-hitting classics like Yeti Imperial Stout.
And if you’re downtown, you can brewery-hop by foot or scooter—just bring your Bomber to keep that can cold between stops.
🧊 Bomber Tip: Beat the Altitude, Keep It Cold
Drinking at high elevation? That buzz hits different. Denver’s dry air and thinner oxygen means beer can sneak up on you fast. Whether you’re on a rooftop, a patio, or heading into the mountains, use a Bomber to keep your beer ice-cold and your buzz in check.
Our premium neoprene insulators are made to fit everything from tallboys to crowlers. No condensation. No warm sips. Just crisp, cold beer that matches the Denver vibe.
