What To Expect

Rock Bottom Brewery
On the LoDo Craft Beer Tour, one of our featured stops is Rock Bottom, a place where the charm of a friendly neighborhood bar meets the sophistication of a gourmet eatery and the innovation of an award-winning craft brewery. At this unique location, the experience is elevated by the presence of a local on-site Brewmaster who expertly taps an array of unique beers and seltzers, all brewed in-house. This commitment to local brewing excellence ensures that each visit offers a new and exciting taste experience. As part of our tour, Rock Bottom stands out as a testament to Denver's vibrant brewing scene, showcasing the city's flair for combining traditional brewing techniques with modern twists. It's not just a brewery; it's a destination that offers a complete sensory experience, blending taste, aroma, and atmosphere into an unforgettable stop on our journey through Denver's best brews.

Daniels and Fisher Tower
The Daniels and Fisher Clock Tower, a historic and iconic landmark in Denver, stands as a proud reminder of the city's rich heritage. Originally part of the Daniels & Fisher department store, which was one of the largest retail establishments west of the Mississippi River, the tower was completed in 1910. This stunning example of Renaissance Revival architecture is most famous for its 16th-story observation deck, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains and the Denver skyline. The tower's intricate details, including its four giant clock faces, each measuring 16 feet in diameter, add to its architectural splendor. Having survived the demolition of the original department store in the 1970s, the Daniels and Fisher Clock Tower now stands as a solitary monument in the heart of downtown Denver. It's a popular spot for both locals and tourists, not only for its historical significance but also for the unique perspective it offers on the city.
3
Larimer Square
On the Denver Microbrew Tour, our route takes us near the iconic Larimer Square, Denver's most historic and vibrant district. While we don't stop here, our proximity allows for a wonderful view of this picturesque area. Larimer Square, known as Denver's oldest block, is a visual feast with beautifully preserved Victorian buildings and twinkling lights that create an enchanting ambiance. This lively area is brimming with independent shops, top-notch restaurants, and entertainment venues. As we pass nearby, you'll experience the fusion of Denver's rich history and its dynamic modernity, a fitting backdrop as we delve into the city's celebrated brewery culture.

Dairy Block
Stylish urban complex with a range of buzzy bars & restaurants, plus upscale boutiques & a hotel.

LoDo
LoDo, short for Lower Downtown, is the pulsing heart of Denver's urban revival. This vibrant neighborhood, rich in history, is famed for its cobblestone streets and red-brick buildings that blend the charm of the old with the buzz of the new. As Denver's oldest district, LoDo is a bustling hub of trendy restaurants, stylish boutiques, lively bars, and renowned art galleries. It's a place where the city's past as a key trading post melds seamlessly with a contemporary lifestyle, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the dynamic spirit of Denver.
6
The Wynkoop
Wynkoop Brewing Company, a cornerstone of Denver's craft beer scene, is an essential stop on our LoDo Craft Beer Tour. Esteemed as the city's first brewpub, Wynkoop was founded in 1988 by a group including John Hickenlooper, who later became Colorado's governor and a U.S. Senator. This historic establishment helped pioneer the craft beer movement in Denver, transforming the city into a brewing powerhouse. Located in a classic 19th-century warehouse, Wynkoop brews a diverse range of beers, from traditional ales to experimental brews. The brewpub combines a rustic, historic ambiance with a lively, welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect place to experience the roots of Denver's beer culture. As you enjoy their handcrafted beers, you're not just tasting a drink; you're savoring a piece of Denver's history. Wynkoop Brewing Company is more than a brewery; it's a landmark where beer, history, and community converge.

If you’re ever in town again, we’d love to have you join us for another round—perhaps our RiNo Beer and Graffiti Tour next time? It’s a perfect blend of craft beer and local street art.

After a date mix up they contacted me later on the correct day and moved us with no issues. We wound up having an awesome time and would highly recommend!! Lots of fun, great company, and great tour guide. Tasting beers we loved and some we never had before. A little history lesson on each was cool. Then the follow up with me after the tour was above and beyond from Steve the owner. Again, so glad this all worked out in the end and you need to take this tour!!!
