Six Denver-area brewery taprooms post a happy hour with days and hours on their own sites, as we read them on Nov. 1, and only one names a pint price: $5 at Denver Beer Co. on Platte Street after 8 p.m. The other taprooms we read either run no happy hour or swap it for a weekly night, like $4 beers on Wednesdays at Little Machine.
Most of the windows are short and fixed, so pick by the day and hour you can get there: four of the six end by 6 p.m., and the two late ones start at 8. Below are the six windows by day, the standing weekly deals, and the taprooms we checked that post none. Every page we read is listed at the end.

Weekdays from 3 p.m.: two brewpubs with happy hour plates
Wynkoop Brewing Company
The lowest happy hour food prices here: every plate on its happy hour menu is $5 to $7. Monday to Friday, 3 to 6 p.m., all beer, wine and well cocktails are $2 off. Five dollars buys chips and dip, mac and cheese or fries; $6 a beef slider or hummus; $7 a half pound of wings or firecracker shrimp. The catch: a 3.5% surcharge on every check, printed on the menu.

Bull & Bush Pub & Brewery
Thirteen happy hour plates, the longest list on this page. Monday to Friday, 3 to 6 p.m.: $1 off Bull & Bush beers, house wines and well drinks. Plates run from $6.50 (pork green chili and mashed potatoes) and $8.50 (guacamole, chips and salsa) to $12.75 (Thai chili shrimp). The catch: happy hour food is not for takeout and plates are not split, though cash gets a discount. Read Nov. 1 on its menu.
After 8 p.m.: the two late happy hours
Denver Beer Co. Platte Street
The only happy hour here that prints a pint price: $5 for every pint and seltzer, Sunday to Thursday from 8 p.m. to close, and nothing on Friday or Saturday. The catch: the taproom page gives no closing time, and food comes from rotating food trucks. Its patio is dog-friendly, per the same page. Read Nov. 1 on the Platte Street taproom page.
Vine Street Pub & Brewery
The only taproom with a happy hour every night of the week: 8 p.m. to close, which is one hour Sunday to Wednesday (close at 9) and two Thursday to Saturday (close at 10). Monday to Thursday it also runs from opening to 5 p.m. Prices are not listed. Wear Mountain Sun gear on a Tuesday and happy hour beer runs all day. Read Nov. 1 on the Mountain Sun weekly specials page and the pub's hours page.

Vine Street's early window is short on the days it opens late: 4 to 5 p.m. Monday to Wednesday, and 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday.

Spangalang Brewery
The only posted happy hour that runs on a Saturday and Sunday afternoon: 4 to 6 p.m. on every day the taproom opens, Thursday to Sunday. Prices are not listed on its site. The catch is in the hours: the homepage says daily, while the same page lists the taproom closed Monday to Wednesday. Thursday adds Geeks Who Drink trivia from 7 to 9 p.m. Read Nov. 1 on its homepage.
Crooked Stave Brewing Company
The most varied week here: four different deals across five days. Wednesday and Thursday, 4 to 6 p.m.: $2 off full pours. Saturday all day: $4 pours of the brewer's selection. Sunday all day: $2 off full sour pours. Monday is mug day, with pint prices on 20-ounce mug pours. The catch: closed Tuesdays, and it posts an 8 p.m. close, which it says may vary with weather and business. Read Nov. 1 on its draft list and taproom hours page.

How we checked this list
- Read
- Each brewery's own website or posted menu on Nov. 1, 2026, opened in a browser where the page loads its content by script. Next check: Dec. 1, 2026. How the newsroom works is on the How We Write page, linked below.
- Prices
- As posted, before tax and tip. Wynkoop adds a 3.5% surcharge to every check; Bull & Bush offers a cash discount.
- Left out
- Tap Fourteen (a beer bar, not a brewery); Stats Brewery (no site we could reach); Jagged Mountain (its web address now carries unrelated casino copy, so we did not treat it as the brewery's own page, and its Tuesday game-night discount is not confirmed); Epic Brewing (its site lists only a Salt Lake City taproom); Breckenridge Brewery RiNo Pub, Bierstadt Lagerhaus, Prost and Rock Bottom (their sites did not load for us; not confirmed either way); the 2015 and 2020 lists' Black Sky, LowDown and Joyride details (not re-confirmed).
- Corrected
- This page used to be about brewery patios under a happy hour title; its old description named $3 pints at Great Divide and deals at Stats and Rooftop Brewing that no source supported. Ratio's hours were wrong, and Rooftop Brewing Co. was not a brewery.
