Brix Taphouse and Brewery

This is the best gift to Greeley. Their tap list is unbelievably huge and always changing. They also have growlers that are really hard to find. They have beers from breweries that are very small and they have a great list of seasonals and hard to find limited releases. Plus much more of a taproom than bar so it’s great to relax and talk with friends.

Cool place with a nice selection of beers. Just wish they had beers from other states too. Don’t get me wrong Colorado has great beers but it’s nice to see the differences from other parts of the U.S. Otherwise you turn into every other beer bar in No. Colorado.

Nice historic building in downtown. Please know it is bar service only, so grab a seat, figure out what you want and go to bar to order. Good local feel. They have Colorado Cola for the kiddos. All natural, pure cane sugar. Good stuff.

I really loved Brix Taphouse while on a brewery tour in Greeley. The beer selection was truly abundant and thorough with a ton of creative beers from local breweries. Because they were only open for a couple months when we visited, we were unable to have any of their own brews because they hadn’t set up their state licences quite yet, which gives us a reason to come back again later. There is plenty of seating inside and the garage doors create a nice breeze while drinking. I love the vintage-​industrial design they had going on and the beertender was very interactive while we were pouring over their beer selection. An awesome addition to the Greeley brewery scene!

As a craft beer fan this bar is heaven on earth for a guy raised in Colorado. With 60 Colorado only beers on tap this bar is a «stay-​cation» all in its own. A must visit for anyone into the Colorado craft beer Scene.

Best beer bar in Greeley, hands down. The selection is amazing and you can find beers here that are available nowhere else in the state. 60+ local Colorado beers from both the small and large breweries. The service is great. The bartenders are knowledgeable about beer (though they can always learn more). The meat and cheese plate was so tasty and paired perfectly with the beers we were enjoying. Keep doing what you are doing

This place has 60 beers on tap. The atmosphere is one like the breweries in Denver, which is hard to create. The garage door opening up when weather permits makes that easier. This is in an area easily becoming one of the more chill places in Greeley because everything you want in night life is now within a short walk. Cheers, Brix, to more success and congrats on the success thus far. Maybe add some game boards and some Cards Against Humanity, and you’ve got yourself 5 stars.

Love good local beer? Want something fun to do on a Friday or Saturday night? This place is for you! They have 60 brews on tap and they are all from Colorado! Great addition to Greeley’s downtown night life. Yes, it’s loud… hello…it’s bar! Can’t believe someone would complain about a bar being too loud!

Update 3÷17÷15, edited 4÷21÷15:
Was in downtown Greeley, celebrating St. Paddy’s.
The place wasn’t completely overwhelmed with patrons for once (all the best parties were elsewhere), so the atmosphere was a little more pleasant. Still loud, but not quite so obnoxiously so.
The service was a little better, likely because they weren’t to harried. In fact, my wife found a food menu and ordered a plate of meat/​cheese. So. they do serve food there, which is nice. It’s not fancy-​food, but it’s better than nothing and it is appreciated.
Their beer prices are still expensive.
The owner did update me on the growler policy — they cannot sell growlers of beer they do not brew in-​house. They are still awaiting legal permits/​licenses to brew beer. Once that happens, I anticipate (hope) they will brew some good beer and allow the sale of growlers… hopefully at a competitive price.
****** Original Review**********
Oh boy… another one of those places I *really* want to like, but I just can’t pretend it’s better than it really is.
In fact, I visited this place THREE times to get something good to write about before drafting this review.
Okay…the review:
GOOD: Lots of Taps, lots of beer variety.
BAD:
Obnoxiously loud and crowded.
Way too small of a venue for the popularity, background music blasts too loud, (you) cannot have a conversation in here. It’s all concrete, steel and wood, so there’s no sound absorbing textures — sound just echoes back and forth.
Way too few people working there. The three times I’ve been here, they’ve had two people and probably a hundred customers. They don’t bus the tables, just let glasses accumulate and beer slop all over, so it’s junked and gross by 9pm. The people who work there are not friendly — and I understand, they’re booked up trying to keep up with orders. They won’t talk, make suggestions, or discuss beer. In fact, it’s obvious they aren’t «beer people». They’re just there to fill glasses and process credit cards.
There’s paper copies of the beer list scattered around the tables and bar.
It’s popular, I’ll say that, and I’d really like to go there more often, but I’d rather go somewhere else and actually get service. First time I was there, I gave up before I even got a beer. Second time, I was with the missus and she walked out before I’d even drank my beer because it was so crowded and loud (we didn’t even have a place to sit).
I get it — they’re new, hip and popular. How about adding more staff, adding some textures to absorb sound, and turn down the music?
Make it a place that’s inviting and pleasant, rather than an overcrowded beer swill.
I pass by there a lot, chances are I’ll be back at some point — so we’ll see if they evolve.

We will definitely be coming back. Laid back ambience and an unbelievable beer selection!
