My "A" brewery this time around was ... A is for Alternation Brewing Company. After "A" comes "B", so I needed a Denver Brewery that started with the letter B.
Last time, I chose B is for Baere Brewing Company, so obviously I couldn't pick that one.
Turns out that there are a bunch of choices for "B" breweries in Denver.
After my brew day last Friday, for no particular reason, The SheppyBrew Beer Model and I drove to Briar Common Brewery + Eatery in the Jefferson Park neighborhood of Denver.

2298 Clay St. Denver CO 80211. Right on the corner of 23rd and Clay street. A few blocks from Mile High Stadium.
The "Eatery" part meant we could have lunch there without bringing our own food. That was nice.
B is for Briar Common Brewery + Eatery
As per usual, I ordered flights. Their menu allowed for flights of four.
My first flight included:
- Das Bueno Mexican Lager ... A crisp refreshing "German Style" Mexican lager. Very nice.
- Bramble Imperial Stout with Raspberries ... Dark chocolate with complimentary raspberry tartness. Delicious.
- 40 Pound IPA ... A wonderful West Coast IPA with lots of orange peel, pine, and floral hop flavor.
- Bee's Knees Raspberry Honey Blonde ... A nice lite blond with a touch of raspberry.
The second flight was:
- Broken Bridge Hazy IPA ... Grapefruit juice centered, citrusy hazy IPA.
- Briar American Pale Ale ... A wonderful hoppy APA. Graham cracker, clover honey, and grapefruit aromas. Cascade, Columbus hops.
- Lanham Belgium Dubble ... Dark amber in color, with prune, blackberry and floral aromas.
- Hobart Belgium Tripple ... Honey crisp apple, wonder bread and white pepper aroma.
When the waiter realized that I had ordered all their beers but two ... he brought those out to me too. What a nice guy!
- Sour Seoul ... Bright Asian pear with just enough heat to create an addiction. Great lactobacillus flavor.
- Rochus Porter ... Fantastic burnt toffee, bitter chocolate, dark roast coffee and mint aromas.
I honestly thought every one of these beers was awesome. It is rare that I visit a brewery where I love so many of the beers on tap.
And the food was fantastic as well. I had a grill ham and cheese with the best tomato soup I have ever tasted. The SheppyBrew Beer Model also had soup and a sandwich, both of which she loved too.
As far as a total package, I think this is the perfect neighborhood brewery. Great location. Awesome atmosphere. First class beer and delicious food. Their AHA discount is 15% off the entire bill, which is pretty good.
I am glad I picked this as my "B" brewery.
If you are in the area and are hungry, thirsty, or both, check out Briar Common Brewery + Eatery . You won't be disappointed.
