The 3 Best Beer Selections Around Glenwood Springs

A strong beer selection isn’t just about quantity—it’s about range, consistency and knowing your audience. In the Roaring Fork Valley, that can mean rotating small-batch taps, highly specialized releases or dependable flagship pours. That variety is reflected in this year’s Locals’ Choice contest from The Post Independent, where each spot defines “selection” in its own way.

Down Valley Brewing

Down Valley Brewing builds its reputation on a rotating lineup of small-batch beers. The tap list frequently changes, covering styles like IPAs, stouts and seasonal releases. This approach keeps the selection dynamic, with new options appearing regularly for repeat visitors. The setting also supports a steady flow of locals, with events and food trucks adding to the overall experience.

Casey Brewing Taproom

Casey Brewing Taproom focuses on a narrower but highly specialized selection centered on barrel-aged sours and farmhouse ales. Many beers use Colorado-sourced ingredients and undergo extended fermentation processes, including oak aging. The taproom often features limited releases and small-batch offerings that are not widely distributed. Its selection is defined more by depth and technique than volume.

Glenwood Canyon Brewpub

Glenwood Canyon Brewpub offers a stable lineup of house beers that have been refined over time. The selection includes flagship options such as IPA and stout styles designed for consistency and broad appeal. As part of a full-service restaurant, the beer menu is built to pair with a wide range of food. Its long-standing presence makes it a reliable option for both locals and visitors.
