Overview

Welcome to the ultimate craft beer experience in Denver, Colorado!

Our Lodo Craft Beer Tour will take you to some of the best breweries in Denver’s downtown area, where you will get to taste 10+ perfectly crafted beers while exploring the city on foot.

While sipping beers along the way, you’ll see how a failed geologist started a brewery that defined Denver’s beer culture, explore Denver’s new Dairy Block and visit a small outpost of a Colorado mountain brewery, sip beers from the brewery that made canning craft beer cool.

You’ll also get to know Denver’s best kept secrets. You’ll walk through Denver’s original red light district, hear about Denver’s outrageous grave robbers, & learn other seamy Denver history!

Throughout the tour, you will be accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who will:
- teach you how to taste beer like a beer snob
- explain the brewing process
- show the history of each of our brewing partners
- share some scandalous Denver history tidbits along the way
