"A post shared by The Post Chicken & Beer (@thepostchickenandbeer). Fried Chicken & beer. This is one of Boulder’s best breweries."

"The oldest brewery in Boulder (in all of Colorado even), Boulder Beer Company celebrated its 40th birthday recently with a big party and tapping of a new birthday brew. Boulder Beer has lasted all this venerable time because its beer is just that dang delicious, and has been for all these decades now. If you want a taste of Boulder’s beer history, you’d do worse than to begin at Boulder Beer."

"In contrast to the hippie branding and design of most of Boulder’s breweries and businesses, Upslope Brewery is the sleek industrial little brother with a knack for minimalism, perfectly showcased in the concrete and steel taproom. Their flagship IPA lists the following ingredients on the can: snowmelt, malt, Patagonian hops and yeast. Not to mention, all of their beers are canned in order to preserve maximum freshness and transportability."

"Upslope burst onto the brew scene in the mid-2000s, releasing its first batch to the public in the fall of 2008. Since then, this small-scale microbrewer has made a name for itself in the Boulder community for its unique blends. Its handful of year-round beers only come in aluminum cans—a choice the folks at Upslope say makes them better for the drinker, the beer, and the environment."

"When it comes to craft breweries in Boulder, Upslope Brewing Company has made a name for themselves, and boy have they earned it!. They’ve got two killer taprooms – one in Flatiron Park and the other at Lee Hill – both of which host a delightful lineup of craft beers. I couldn’t help myself, I had to get a flight when we visited because I have commitment issues."

Popular with locals, Twisted Pine pours playfully named brews like Ghost Face Killah, Patio Pounder and Recreational Wheat, alongside a menu of pub fare."

Their pub-fair is fresh, filling, and reasonably priced. What's more, they offer and cookie sampler, you heard right, cookie platter is pair with your various beers."

"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE me some Beyond the Mountain Brewing Company!. They’ve got a solid selection of beers, but I’d say they lean more towards the pale ale and IPA side of the spectrum. When we visited I tried the Jive Juice pale ale (packed with jade hops and passion fruit puree) and Chad had the A Little Spruce in your Step IPA (brewed with Colorado blue spruce tips and a bit of rye malt for robust piney profile)."

"This small microbrewery is all about fresh, handcrafted beers. Whether you want a house standard or an experimental beer, Mountain Toad works hard to provide a place for Golden’s community—locals and visitors alike—to unwind and meet new people."

"Asher Brewery is not only Boulder’s first all-organic brewery, it’s still the only one!. And its use of only the best and healthiest ingredients shows: the Ginger Bomb seasonal brew has actual organic ginger root ground up and in the mix. Hops, barley, any other flavors?"

The Mountaineering Museum brings visitors into the world of mountain and rock climbing and honors the achievements of mountaineers from America and around the world. Exhibits on climate, science, cultures and the humanities as they relate to mountains promise to make the visitor experience rich, exciting, and interactive."

"Golden has an interesting history that stretches back to the early days of the 19th century when the area was mostly wild and unexplored. Clear Creek History Park is located on Arapahoe Street near the downtown area and features an impressive collection of historic buildings, including barns, cabins, and a one-room schoolhouse. The park’s distinct areas are connected by well-marked paths that offer visitors the opportunity to stretch their legs and breathe lots of fresh mountain air while getting interesting insights into the area’s past."

"Get outside and see how Golden’s early settlers worked and played in the late 1800s (1867–1915, to be precise) at the Golden History Park. The park is ideally located along Clear Creek in downtown Golden. Its outdoor setting recreates the look and feel of a late 1800s mountain ranch complete with gardens, a working blacksmith shop, schoolhouse and chicken coop (chickens included)."

"In true steakhouse fashion, Steakhouse No. 316 invites an atmosphere of a dark dining room, sultry cocktails, old-world art, and red velvet booths for extra flare. But the steaks from its prime butcher shop at this fanciful restaurant, steal the show.
