The Alchemist

Award winning for a reason! Staff, service and beer every time is phenomenal 🤩 the brewery is spacious and fun with a diverse menu of beer and such knowledgeable employees. If you are looking for a true brewery top to bottom this is the one…not just in Denver but all of Colorado and further I feel.

Ellen always does an amazing job making River North a fun place to hang out. The beer is great, but what really keeps me coming back are all the fun events she puts together. From chili cook-offs to salad parties and other Sunday get-togethers, there’s always something going on that brings people together. You can tell she genuinely cares about creating a welcoming, friendly atmosphere for everyone. River North has become one of my favorite spots because of the community she’s built. Thanks, Ellen, for always making it such a great experience! 🍻❤️

Absolutely terrible staff. Vibes were bad, somehow it was my problem that she didn't know if there was lactose in the beer. "I just pour them, I don't know about them.". The other patron looked at me like what is her problem. Spend your money elsewhere.

I come here multiple times a week to study and these guys a great! Not only is this some of the best beer in Denver, the bartenders and regulars are all super personable and they take customer service and interaction seriously. In addition, they also have a variety of food trucks including chicago beef, tacos, and BBQ, as well as events like trivia and crafting. They also have some of the most unique beer I've seen in Denver ranging from Quadruple Ales and Whiskey Aged Saisons to Pilsners and IPAs, so whether your a connoisseur or just need a good old fashioned light beer; these guys got you covered; they also have non-ABV. There are many great breweries in Rino, but if you want a relaxed environment with cool people open to chatting, this is the place.

I mean, the guy, he's just okay... 😜 But, Ellen?!? She's what makes this brewery truly feel like home, like a real third space. From hosting potlucks, to asking questions where you're like "wait, you remember I mentioned that?," to bringing in homemade appetizers on her own dime, to saying hi when she sees you out and about, I've never felt more welcome anywhere. That and I was there on one of the busiest days ever, and she handled my favorite beer being out expertly with an alternative, while also ensuring everyone else was taken care of quickly. She's worth holding onto, River North ☺️ (And, Paul, you're great, too — and I always appreciated our chats and how you made it such a welcoming place as well). Also, my pups were treated like absolute royalty, so if you're a well-behaved dog owner, highly recommend a visit! Can't say enough good things, but definitely my favorite IPA from a Denver brewery 🍻
