Crazy Mountain Brewing Lakewood Taproom

Crazy Mountain took over the old World of Beer space and the interior is remarkably unchanged. I think maybe a few signs got swapped out at most. They still close several hours before their posted hours on the regular, deterring me from wasting my time trying to visit in the evening. There's just not that many craft beer bars out this way and with their rotating guest list, Crazy Mountain probably has the best selection in a few mile radius,though World of Beer definitely had a better, broader selection. If you choose anything beyond a Crazy Mountain beer, your tab can get big pretty quick, but the happy hour is a killer deal on the core lineup.

This place used to be a World of Beer, and as many of those places often do, it went out of business - Crazy Mountain moved in and literally changed nothing but the sign outside - not even the name of the wifi connection - beers are about 50% their own product and the rest mostly regional stuff - nothing's ever excited me here - it's never particularly busy, and service is so-so - no food - some bottles available, but again nothing much - a lot of people come in and don't even drink the beer - they get shots of cheap booze, instead - a coin-operated breathalyzer plugged into the wall just screams class - Belmar deserves a far better beer bar than this.

Belmar location that used to be a World of Beer. Pleasant ambiance and good service at the bar. $3 happy hour pints for their standard lineup as well as several selections from the Local's Stash. The beer here is just OK, but there's not much else in the area (besides Mile High Wine & Spirits).
