    From the first beers to know brewers, have used what’s on their farm to brew. Ingredients come and go with the seasons, environments change, and with this comes different beers with different tastes. Just like our predecessor’s, we brew from our backyard, the Rocky Mountains. Scorcher soils and burned orchards gave birth to a truly unique Ale. Sweet-and-sour Berry notes mixed with traditional Belgian used to create this farmhouse Al. Raise your glass and cheers to the red barns that came before us!

    Inviting place. Cool part is it highlights the brewing process - wide open space. Friendly staff, exceptionally clean bathrooms, games available. Worth a stop IMO. I could imagine summer would be amazing!!

    Bow River Brewing's Warm Welcome is more than just a beer; it's an experience. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with genuine hospitality. The pizza is a must-try, especially the BBQ chicken pineapple - a delightful fusion of flavors. Their super servers ensure your glass is always full and offer fantastic flight options to explore their brews. The atmosphere is fun with games, a cozy patio, and captivating otter photos and art that add character to the space. Whether you're a beer enthusiast or just looking for a good time, Warm Welcome at Bow River Brewing comes highly recommended.

    We had a private event at the taproom and if was a fantastic venue that everyone loved, great food and the beer and there were games and activities for the kids. The staff were great and very helpful leading up to the party and flexible with our food order. All in all it was great for guests of all ages and I would recommend the taproom for a private event. We have also enjoyed the taproom other times we have visited with excellent pizza and beer everytime.

    Katie with Bow River Brewing helped our team at BARC's Rescue organize an adoption event at the brewey last month. The event was super successful and a lot of fun. She went above and beyond for us, and made sure all of the attendees were treated top notch! She even put BARC's stickers on cute little candy bags up at the bar. We super appreciate Katie and the staff at Bow River Brewing, and can't wait to do another event in the spring!
