Mockery Brewing

This is one of my favorite breweries in Denver. I am sad though that it has gotten so popular as it is now packed on Friday and Saturday nights. The beer is always good and there is a lot to choose from. They also have Happy Leaf Kombucha which is a great alternative. They are always so nice and super dog friendly. And shocker for a lot of Denver places, parking is not a total nightmare.

I LOVE this brewery! The atmosphere and vibe is amazing (including the bathrooms). They have a great selection of beers and I’ve never had one I didn’t like. My favorite beers that I’ve tried there include the Southern Hemisphere Ale & the Salted Scotch Ale. If you are in the Denver area this place is a must visit!

There a lot of things I liked such as:
— They serve the only kombucha I have ever liked, usually the flavor of kombucha throws me off but the kombucha is very mild and tasty
— Not too noisy, good for a relaxing hang out, or a game of scrabble as we did
— People behind the bar were friendly and helpful, offering to let us taste multiple beers before picking something
There were not a lot of things that I didn’t like I think the only thing that was a negative was that the food truck outside took a long time to bring our order, it ended up being a veggie sandwich for 12 dollars which tasted ok but was not as filling as we had hoped. I’m not sure if the same food truck is always there though nor do I know if it’s fair to judge a brewery by the nearby food truck.

Mockery is the latest of our Sunday brewery discoveries. We showed up just as they were opening and plunked it right on down at the bar. As usual, we ordered a flight, and what Jess and I both noticed is that this is probably the first place that we loved every one of the beers. Usually there’s a couple that doesn’t match one or both of our palates, but in this instance we found ourselves quickly reaching for each glass before the other could finish it. The Schwarzbier was very original, and Her Majesty’s Pleasure is a must try. Honestly they really are all great beers.
The bartender was friendly and chatty with us. There’s not a bunch of room in the bar itself but they have a good sized patio and a great idea is a garage in back that has been converted into a game room. That’s something that I haven’t seen before.
I’ll definitely come back for a pint or two! Cheers!

We live two blocks away from Mockery and it is hands down our go-​to all time favorite brewery. We go here every Sunday evening to have a beer and get food truck dinner. They also let us bring our puppy doggy inside which is amazeballs. Their brews are delicious and the variety is pretty crazy. I’ve been to Mockery more times than I can count, but sometimes I still get a flight just because I like so many of their beers. I could go on forever about how much we love Mockery. Also, I hope to have a bathroom someday that resembles the Mockery bathroom.

Suggested to us as a MUST-​DO by the owner of Falling Rock Tap House, Mockery Brewing was probably my favorite unexpected addition to our Denver agenda. .fantastic place!
Really small scale, but super great quality. First thing of note — incredibly friendly people, and incredibly dog-​friendly. (That seems to be a recurring theme with Denver. An *awesome* recurring theme. Such a great city, Denver!) There’s a freestanding game room, a great patio, and fantastic beercan art on the walls of the taproom itself. (The entire taproom, actually, even the restrooms, is gorgeous without being the least bit pretentious… lovely!)
They have a tap of local kombucha (my first experience — of several to come — with the uberdelicious Happy Leaf Kombucha) and quite a few taps of their own supremely well-​done beer. Not a single one of the beers on our extensive flights was less than great, but favorites were the salted Scotch, the pepper… maibock (?), and the over the top standout coffee brew Scizophrenic Narcoleptic (or it may have been NarcoSchizo. Whatever the name, it was freakin *outstanding*! We liked it enough that we asked for a growler fill to bring home, but sadly no fills of that particular (or any?) beer were allowed. The bartender did though — hesitantly, lol — ask if we might be interested in a *bomber* of such. Would we? ! That’s a resounding YES, good sir! Bring it. :))
Over the course of our several days in Denver, we had a long list of suggested places to visit, more than we could possibly fit into the limited weekend timeframe. I’m so glad we made the Mockery suggestion a priority!
In Denver for GABF? Go to Mockery! Dooo eet!

My favorite brewery in Denver, and go-​to spot to meet up with friends. Be sure to get a sampler (the Salted Scotch and Cherry Tart are excellent) and pay a visit to the game room. Compliments to Rachel and Zach (the founders) for taking great care of their customers, and adding to Colorado’s reputation as the best beer state in the country :)

If you’re going to open a brewery on the same street as Great Divide, and down the road from Cooked Stave, you’re gonna have to bring the goods.
Mockery Brewing delivers. Their full lineup of beers are awesome, but my all-​time favorite is the Keyser Jose — an incredible chili maibock with the best movie-​reference name you’re going to find anywhere. Don’t give me the «I don’t like chili beers» line either, because you’re gonna love this one. Promise. And if you don’t there are plenty of other great choices on the menu.
Mockery has a cozy little tasting room that is just beautifully decorated with copper pipes and rustic lighting. They also have a stand-​alone game room, and an incredible outdoor seating area nestled inbetween. Most times you can find a food truck or cart parked outside for some noshes.
Mockery is a great new addition to the Denver beer scene. Check ‘em out!

So awesome! All their beers. Tip: get the sampler and sit on the patio while the sunsets! Such a fun brewery! They typically have a food truck or boutique shop outside and there is fun arcade games in the garage to play while you reminisce! Their shirts are awesome to take home for a fun gift.

What an experience. The Beer tender behind the counter is great. Tell him what you like, and his recommendations are spot on.
I went with the Beer flight first time around. And out of those. All were my favorite. But the Lemon beer and Cherry beer were my favorite. Lots of TV’s and nice seating both indoors and outdoors.
Food Trucks are usually on hand. And the location is unassuming but hopefully it doesnt become overrun with Fist Pumping Fan Boys.

Mockery is a standout among many breweries in Denver. They deliver consistent quality across many beers and styles mixed with interesting and innovative twists. For example a blueberry farmhouse (which wasn’t my personal favorite, but was very well done). They offer a full range of beers from light to dark with many variations that make you want to try them all!
On top of good beer, the atmosphere, especially in the summer is excellent. Plenty of outdoor seating on a spacious patio, a game room, a cool seating area in their brewing space, and a lengthy bar give you plenty of different spots to sit. There are board games inside and the full game room out back to give even more variety in activity once you are there. On top of all that prices are reasonable, and food trucks are frequently parked out front.

I’m torn, it’s a nice brewery with nice folks working there, but most of their beers aren’t beers i enjoy drinking.
That and the fact that (despite not being in the Highlands) an enclave for parents cool enough to still like craft beer, and discourteous enough to foist their toddlers, newborns, and other age range, scream machines on others.
If they brewed beer i enjoyed I’d go more, and give them more stars, and if the folks with kids got growlers and home to their decks where their kids could run and scream and such without ruining other peoples time…

Mockery was one of the best finds of my recent trip to Denver. I highly recommend ordering a flight; they come in four, eight, or all of them. An absolute must try is the Oaked Southern Hemisphere Black Pale Ale, this could possibly be one of the greatest beers I have had. On top of great beer they also have made to order pretzels that come with three different types of mustard, they do require some what of a wait so order them as soon as you get there.
My one regret was not getting up and exploring the full grounds, they have a beautiful outdoor seating area, and a game room that includes Blitz, and NBA JAM. If I knew that these were there I probably would have spent double the time at Mockery.

Not sure if this is par for the course in Denver but most startup breweries I go to are a bit on the spartan side. You get some beers at a bar surrounded by stainless steel tanks. Woo woo.
Not this place, the bar area was fancy as hell (for a brewery) and was not done on the cheap
Our group ordered a bunch of flights so we could try pretty much everything they had on draft and I found a few beers I liked; was a good selection across various styles. The ‘Guinness and Blue Moon’ guy in our group even found something that wasn’t ‘awful’ to his unrefined palette.
Said flights came in interesting (yet seemingly dangerous) holders of Colorado license plates with holes drilled out for the glasses. They had some ridiculous magnet system with labels for the beers that didn’t actually match the numbers up on the board. So after some explanation from the bartender regarding the Fibonacci sequence and my golf handicap I just gave up and guessed based on color and taste. More fun that way.

First impression was walking a thin line when it took 5 minutes for anyone behind the bar to even acknowledge us (the bartender was actually playing thumb war with another customer…), but all was fine when we were given an awesome taster tray, with two extra tasters because «we needed to taste these too.» I like that kind of enthusiasm from a brewery!
All of the beers were so unique, so I have to give props to Mockery for doing something different in a market that’s as beer-​saturated as Denver is right now. The Japanese Extra Pale Ale, Southern Hemisphere Black IPA, Salted Scotch Ale and Smoked Lager were my favorites, though I’m not sure I’d want to drink a whole glass of any of those, to be honest.
Lastly, this place is REALLY nice looking inside! Everything is really fresh and clean-​looking and the Mockery sign behind the bar is a real industrial work of art! Overall, I really liked this place and would definitely come back.

There should be no mocking of great beer. And Mockery Brewing has some fantastic stuff. They use tea in a few of their beers to pleasant effect. And I would’ve never expected salt to go so well with beer as it does in their Salted Scotch Ale.
The décor is clean but not serious with board games and even a game room that provide the perfect place to hang out with friends and good beer. The game room is in a back garage with a chill patio connecting it to the main building. The whole thing felt like drinking beers at dope house party. And the somewhat isolated RiNo location makes it so you don’t have to worry about disturbing the neighbors. But it’s also super-​close to the Platte bike trail so very easy to bike to.
I’m glad this brewery doesn’t take itself so seriously. With so many breweries catering to the «beer snob» crowd, I’m glad Mockery exists for those of use who just want to hang out and have awesome beers.

What a great addition to Rino.
Great set up, nice seating inside and a great outdoor patio.
A good selection of beers at different levels of ABV. We had the Red IPA which was fantastic, full of flavor and at 5%abv not too strong.

I love this place. I tasted the Vanilla Bourbon Porter at the Denver Winter Brew Fest and made note of Mockery Brewing. I then insisted on taking my friends here so that everyone could try this new beer I fell in love with. The place won me over all over again. The patio is large which is great on a nice day and the inside is industrial chic. The best is the assortment of games in the room separate from the bar. When’s the last time you played Operation? It had been years for me but we played at the bar and it was still as fun as I remembered. They also had shuffle board but I wasn’t as impressive at that…
If you want to drink some delicious beers in a cool place and play some games, this is definitely the place to try.
Plus how cute are the tasters in the license plates?

Cool space with some unique beers like a smoked lager and a salted scottish ale. I don’t know if I’d drink a lot of these offerings, but they’re certainly interesting and not the same old kinds of beer you seem to have twenty options to find in RINO nowadays.
I especially like the building– The design is very cool with custom coppper fixtures behind the bar, and lots of natural light. They also have a spacious patio and a game room which is cool.
I also liked that it was off the beaten path so didn’t suffer (yet?) from the LoDo masses that other breweries closer to downtown experience.

RiNo = Denver’s beer capitol.
Mockery is a great addition to the ‘hood. They have quite a bit of space here including a beautiful tap room, large patio, and game room. Its simple but nicely designed. The service is great. I went on opening weekend and was able to get beers quick. I also met one of the founders parents. They where hanging out in the game room and we shared a table with them. Awesome people!
My standout beer — the salted scotch ale. Fantastic! This is one of my favorite styles and this is up at or near the top of them. I also enjoyed the blonde, saison, and black IPA. I am very excited to get back here soon and try out some of their new beers.
