One of our favorites. Be careful though--their high ABV beers tend to pack a punch!

New Belgium Brewing
500 Linden StA local institution and one of the founders of the craft beer movement.
Small but really unique brewery, with award winning Belgian-style breers. Try the Tropic King Imperial Saison and any of the fruit-infused Provincials. Way less crowded and 'sceney' than some of the bigger breweries in town. Cute patio is really nice in the early evening.
