Wild Woods Brewery

Being from San Diego, CA I hold my craft beers to a high standard and Wild Woods did not disappoint. I had a flight taster of 6 of their beers (5 year round and one seasonal) and I was extremely pleased with all of them. My favorites were the Wildflower Pale Ale and the S’mores Stout. I also like that this place isn’t one of Boulders mainstream breweries which makes it a perfect low key spot to grab some delicious beers. The bartenders are very friendly and helpful plus offer good conversation. I will definitely be coming back here the next time I am in Boulder!

All of their beers were solid. Happens to be lager month and their sunflower lager was my favorite (though all 4 were really, really good). They have 6 standard beers, all of which were unique and quite tasty– my favorites were the smoked campfire red and the porter with the s’mores and pale not far behind. Definitely stop by. Super friendly staff. Bru across the way is a good post Wild Woods stop for dinner. Yum!

Of all the Colorado breweries I visited, this one was my favorite. It’s tucked back in an industrial area, but they do have some patio seating outside.
In addition to their regular rotation of beers there’s a changing menu of 3 – 4 seasonal beers. I highly recommend the maibock — it’s one of their spring seasonals and was my favorite of my taster tray.
The guys here are super friendly, and the décor is very much in keeping with the name.

Delicious beers tucked away in an office park. If you’re missing Avery in their old location, wander over to Wild Woods just down the street and you won’t be disappointed. The space is small but I can imagine that the outside space will be wonderful upon better weather! Drink up!

Definitely agree about the hidden gem review. This place is tucked away perfectly. Off the beaten path but still perfectly situated and not terribly confusing to find. I got here around 5 on Saturday to a pretty quiet spot but it soon started to pick up with the Saturday night crowd. Good selection of sessional beers. Really enjoyed the Ponderosa porter… I’m more of a stout person but the S’mores stout just wasn’t cutting it for me (too sweet and earthy bitter from the cocoa nibs). Great bartenders who were super friendly and gave me lots of tips on living in Boulder… definitely going to be coming back! They also have a growler fill loyalty card with double punches on Monday or Wednesday… I don’t remember which. Check it out!

Can you say «hidden gem»? Oh baby, what a great find! No need to add an orange slice to their amazing wheat beer, the Berry Patch Wheat. It has a perfect touch of berry love without an overpowering sweetness. It’s Berry delicious, really. The rest of my team delighted in the Wildflower Pale Ale. Crisp perfection was the feedback… I’d say that deserves a blue ribbon! A west facing location to enjoy a boulder sunset… so park yourself at a picnic table and drink your afternoon away!

Consistent and yummy! Love the campfire red, ponderosa porter, and smores stout! The beer was so good we got a flight of their seasonal beers too! Comfortable tap room, kind and knowledgeable staff, you won’t regret coming to this hidden gem!

Okay so with all the five star reviews, I was kind of let down. In other states I may give them 4 stars, but in Colorado the brewery game is stiff. We had the IPA, and the butternut squash beer. Neither was something I would order again. I know they are just starting out (it is a year and a half old brewery), but, it is a hard scene, to not be top notch and survive. IPA lacked depth of flavor, butternut beer was over spiced to drink more than one of. People seem to rave about the stout. Maybe we just ordered wrong. Tues happy hour all day. Double stamps on growlers on Weds.

Great helpful and knowledgeable staff — all the beers were great some unique ones. Also let out puppy hang with us on their patio which made it all possible

Amazing beer and great atmosphere. Kind of tucked away in a office complex thing-​y, but most of the business are closed when I go there so it is nice and quiet. Food trucks come a lot too, so food is available (check their FB page for truck info)

Great little brewery off of Arapahoe and 55^th! I used to work nearby, otherwise I have no idea how I would’ve found this place– but it’s worth the search! The taproom itself is fairly small and very cozy– the pine walls are a beautiful touch and make it feel more woodsy. There are a handful of tables, plus seating at the bar, and they have a food truck a couple nights each week. This is a great place to meet someone for a drink– it’s comfortable and it’s not too loud, so you can actually carry on a conversation!
Their beer selection is great, albeit limited. The Treeline IPA is generally my go-​to beer, but the berry patch wheat is another favorite when I’m feeling something lighter. I’m not a big fan of stouts or porters, but I was so intrigued by the S’mores stout that I had to try it out! Definitely a little heavy for my personal taste but still good. If you like stouts you will probably enjoy the flavor. I would just love to see them experiment with more styles of beer– because so far they’re doing a great job!

This place was amazing the best pale ales and such friendly owners, had to get a growler

This is a cute new little brewery. The interior is adorable, not at all how I expected it to be when I pulled into the industrial type strip-​mall area where it is located.
The beer is really good, very different. My husband really enjoyed them all, especially the campfire red.
They also had a food truck when we were there that had delicious food, which was perfect for a post-​work happy hour with friends. Nothing wrong with a brew in the hand and some food in the belly on a Friday night!

I have to admit that as an unapologetic beer critic, I was skeptical that a brewery could get 30 reviews and still maintain a perfect 5 star rating. This had to be a mistake; so, I decided to investigate.
The first time I went, I was very inquisitive and asked a lot of questions from the co-​owner and taproom manager. She seemed quite personable and ready to satisfy both my curiosity and my thirst for beer. I tried a taster of every beer they had on tap. Interestingly, I couldn’t really find one that I didn’t like. I’ve been to countless breweries and in most, especially newer ones, there’s a couple beers on tap that have some very unflattering off-​flavors that perhaps others not trained in properly tasting beer could detect. Each beer I tried had a very clean and smooth flavor profile, which fell really close to the description of the beer on their menu. I really loved the smokiness in their red ale, and there was the subtle hint of juniper in their IPA. Those really stood out, but then there was a smores stout/​porter. While I could taste notes of chocolate and marshmallow, I couldn’t taste any graham cracker. I asked the lady at the bar about this and she said that they didn’t want to use actual graham crackers. I replied that other breweries are making amazing beers with actual graham crackers, why wouldn’t you? She just seemed to placate me and give me some sort of non-​sense about… whatever.
Anyways, then there was the second time I went in. I was a bit more focused this time. I didn’t need to sample anything except what was on their seasonal tap board. I asked to try their molasses stout. This was pretty interesting and I think that they’ve done a fairly good job with the ingredient. I’ve personally brewed better beer with molasses, but this was a pretty viable commercial attempt, which I applaud. I think that breweries need to be using ingredients that make the beer unique and special in order to command the appreciation of adventurous beer enthusiasts. I ended up going with a choice for their Imperial IPA, which was light Cascade infused hop bomb. While it tasted like an IPA, it wasn’t very impressive. It was only about 8.8% ABV and wasn’t that cloyingly bitter and hoppy which I expect from this style. If they could pump that up to about 10% and make the aromatics singe your nose hairs while maintaining a really clean flavor profile, then I would be impressed.
Overall, their beers are going to please… period. They are not amazing, but they are definitely above average in their current offerings. I’ve given them 4 stars for now, but as time goes on I think that they will be earning their 5^th star at some point. Until then, I’d recommend that anyone should give them a try. I’m sure that most people would give them a great rating and I really look forward to see what’s going to help them set them apart from their illustrious competition in Boulder. Cheers!

Wild Woods Brewery is a tiny little taproom in a small strip mall in Boulder. It is cozy and modern and totally makes you feel like you’re tucked away in the wild woods. The beers are made with a true brew passion and their nature minded ingredients and educated beer loving creators and servers are pure Colorado. Man, that makes me sound like a city girl, but it’s true! Everything you try here is a style you have heard of, but it is enhanced by natural local additives (like flowers, or mushrooms, or…) to pump up the flavor. I usually don’t go for Reds, but the Campfire Red here is amazing and has a great hoppy bite. All of the beers were tasty for that matter. Next time I’m in Boulder, this will be a definite stop… can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

This is a must when you are in Boulder! We had planned to go to Avery Brewing, which is down the street, but they were having a festival so we passed. We stumbled on this place and I’m thrilled we went here instead. While I love Avery’s beers, you can find those anywhere.
Wild Woods is small enough to keep their beers pretty much in their taproom, but large enough that they don’t taste like mediocre home brew.
The owners moved here form Wisconsin and love Boulder. We talked to Erin (one of the owners) for quite a while. She was very friendly and kept coming back to talk more after helping customers.
I only wish we could get their beers everywhere! Unique, flavorful, and each style was true to itself. I was impressed that they didn’t have a dominating type or flavor.
Their taproom and logo/​style is very fitting for their theme. They love the mountains and it shows.
Go Here! Support Local Brewers!

I came by here once before and got here right after they closed so I knew where they were but it is tucked away for sure. I got up here fairly early this time and although I liked the beers, this evening I just wasn’t in the mood for flavor added beers so I didn’t even finsh my flight of tasters. I need to re-​visit for another sampling knowing what to expect. Probably sooner than later.

I must say. I was VERY impressed with Wild Woods!
First off its a bit hard to find. at the end of an industrial cul-​de-​sac in a row of shops. But once you find it you are go for happy times. The space is nice and cozy. some patio chairs outside and decent bar/​table seating. Very cool old wood bartop/​tables!
The beer… its good, really good! The campfire red was by far my favorite… a very awesome red with just a hint of smokeyness. Also the wildflower Pale Ale was very good. We had two variations: the regular, and a limited release aged in gin barrels. I am not much of a gin person but that beer was one of the most interesting beers I have tried in a LONG time.
I dont get up to Boulder as much as I’d like. but I will definitely be coming back here!

Love this place!
Wild Woods is by far my favorite brewery in Boulder. Owned by an extremely sweet couple who actually do ALL of the brewing and bartending themselves. It is a small setting with a great vibe. There are often food trucks (I think every other Thursday and Friday) which is a nice addition. Erin is especially sweet and personable, and always makes us feel super welcomed.
And then most importantly, the beer. everything they create is delicious! Their inspiration is found from the outdoors and camping, and it shows. They have found a beautiful way of taking the elements of the outdoors and turning them into delicious beer. Every single beer is very flavorful, while being extremely palatable. Never overwhelming. Their Ponderosa Porter and Campfire Red are two of my favorites, with their recent seasonal Tropical Paradise Imperial IPA an absolute recommendation.
Overall. Wild Woods is a hidden gem that I recommend all craft beer lovers support!

I’m doing a happy dance since I got to be the first reviewer for this place! So many breweries these days base themselves on a theme. Wild Woods is not excluded to this rule. I can’t think of a better place than Boulder for Wild Woods to put their theme to use. Wild Woods tips their hat to the idea of camping out in the wild woods themselves. The brews reflect this. Their Red for example has a smokey taste to it to remind us of a campfire. Their porter is a S’mores Porter and it tastes just like eating a yummy and gooey S’mores while sitting around the fire. I highly recommend this porter!
They have limited batches as well. They have an IPA which has a mango and ginger taste to it! Delicious! Next up on limited batches is a nutty flavored ale!
I am so looking forward to making a trip back here! A great new brewery to Colorado and the Front Range!
