Crabtree Brewing Company

Early afternoon visit. Nice layout in this fairly new building. Some outside seating. At least a dozen of their beers on tap. Beers were just a touch above average. Tried four different, with the RIS being the best.

Their old super small facility is now Wiley Roots. The new building is right off 34 (bypass?). Big, family friendly place with one huge room and a few smaller ones. Windows overlooking the brewery. Beer is so-so at best, and the breweries on the northeast side of town are much better, but I would say this is a nice place to bring your family and/or a bunch of friends. i don’t recall why, but bartender pissed me off about something--which was sadly a Colorado trend. But I believe she did break a $100 for me, so that was kind of cool. This is Thumper66’s place, so I may go back eventually.

Bar at the end of a red brick building. Rock Nursing (forgotten why I write this). More rooms. Long half circle bar with bar stools. Dark tables. Look into brewery. Strange dark ceiling. Lot of taps with beers from several breweries. Sample at fair prices.

A good sized open room with tableland a large bar area. Good selection of decent beers on fraught. Did not see a menu for food, but I didn’t ask for one either. I would visit again.

Update: this place opened a nice, new taproom a couple of years back. Quite a few tap offerings. Fun place to hang out.

Shitters: n/a

Pretty much of a startup in the pub area. But it’s clean, eclectic and shows lots of promise. Besides a lot of the brewing equipment and aging barrels are right there with the exuberant clientele.Highly recommended.They had about 8 taps with their own brews - no guests - so low on selection. What they have is very, very good.
