Asher Brewing Company

I haven't had an Asher beer in years and this was my first time visiting the taproom. The quality has certainly improved. The coffee blonde ale was particularly tasty. This is located in a weird pocket of Boulder where a few businesses are starting to pop up in warehouse complexes off the highway. Avery is easy walking distance from here and Finkle & Garf is maybe two miles north. Asher's taproom has a small bar and a couple side rooms with bar games. The non-functional Sega Dreamcast and PS3 were quite the tease. There's a little patio out front. I'm shocked this place stays open til midnight but there seemed to be some locals hanging around late. Pretty cool little spot.

This place is close to Avery and has friendly enough bartenders, but that's about all that it has going for it. The beers are not good, and the place itself is a little dark and uninviting. Flight of 10 costs about $17.

Small well lit taproom a couple blocks from Avery, generally full of Boulder snowflakes. Service is okay but can be a bit slow when the beertenders are shooting the shit with their friends. Selection is average with around 8 "organic" beers (whatever that means, if it ain’t organic you couldn’t digest it). Prices are decent and they do give an AHA discount. Might be worth poking your head in if you’re at Avery, but I wouldn’t make a special trip.

If you like organic. This place is for you. If you are not into organic, Avery might be the place for you. Small facility almost across from Avery. Everything organic in the tap room, shirts, food, growlers, marijuana pamphlets, etc. Pricing was excellent. Cheap for pints. Very odd Barrel room beers. Service was solid. Got the feel that I was not all that welcome as an outsider. Got left alone when all the boulder weed heads came in. Pretty decent IPA though

Reason to go to Asher - it is near Avery. The beers are competent and solid. Reasons not to go to Asher - This appears to be a locals hangout - and those who aren’t locals don’t appear to be very welcome. By other patrons or by staff. We went to at least 10 places while in Boulder - this was the only one where we didn’t feel welcome. Green Bullet IPA and the Double IPA both good balanced, competent beers. Worth a trip? I am kind of mixed. Next time I am up that way, I will just have 2 at Avery and skip Asher.

Cool and bright tap-room with friendly service and an interesting mix of clean and grungey ambience.

Visited: 9/25/15....the ambiance of this place is very standard, small bar that can hold 4-5 patrons, some scattered tables in the front and side room, which has board games. Some patio tables out front and they had had two sets of bags and a dart board in the brewing area. The service was alright, the bartender was attentive when she was at the bar, but spent half her time out back smoking. The selection was average, nothing ou of the ordinary except for the Spinal Tap, which was decent. The value of the beers was decent as they were $5-6 per pint. Overall, a nice place to overflow after Avery and they are an organic brewery, which produced good enough beers.

Simple, clean taproom/bar located in a commercial complex just outside of Boulder. Small bar and some small tables. Service was prompt and friendly initially but slow after the first beer. Their tap list is small but not bad considering the size of the operation. The beer I tried is alright, not particularly memorable but seemed to use quality ingredients; very clean. Reasonably priced. They have some games in a back room Neat that all of their beer is organic.

small taproom located on the northeast edge of Boulder in a commercial complex. the locals seem to think Asher is the bee’s knees but I honestly have yet to find one of their beers that I could stomach more than a few ounces of. sad to see the former Redfish brewer turn out such boring IPAs (which were his specialties before) and downright awful barrel aged beers. Well, if you disagree and find their beers enjoyable, be happy they’re all available here. But when asked to recommend breweries to visit while in Boulder, Asher is near the bottom of the list, only above Twisted Pine.

Not the greatest ambiance in the world, but its clean and bright, the staff is friendly, the service quick, and they have all of there beers on tap. Lots of dogs wandering around which I like. Cool place. Even better now that they open at 3pm.
