Diebolt Brewing Company

Congrats on the medal winning brown. Solid selection that will allow beer drinkers of all tastes to find something to toast with. Flights encouraged if you can’t decide. Everyone working here clearly loves what they do. You can talk beer with anyone behind the bar without the pretension you run into at many other breweries.
Diebolt provided a really relaxed atmosphere to watch Sunday football with some reggae in the background. Food trucks aren’t always reliable, so plan ahead for food. I love the open brewing room… Only thing that’s missing from this spot is outdoor seating.

Long story short: I have thoroughly enjoyed both times I have gone to Diebolt. The service is awesome and the beer is pretty tasty as well.
Trivia on Thursday nights is a blast. Went this evening, ordered some food from the food truck, that isn’t associated with Diebolt at all, paid and never received my food. The truck ran out of propane and left before refunding my money. I was very impressed that one of the owners of Diebolt personally introduced himself to me, and refunded my money from the food truck, even though it wasn’t their fault.
Will definitely be coming back here quite often.

Family-​friendly, you can even bring your pooch! Light snacks offered in addition to food trucks nearby. Bartender super helpful in descriptions of the brew offerings

Came here to listen to the band and watch the Oregon/​MSU game. They had a tv but refused to turn it on even though it wouldn’t have been a big distraction and there wasn’t any room to watch the band anyway. The staff was very rude about how he handled the situation too.

This is my absolute favorite brewery. I have only been here once but one time was enough to know that they make my favorite beer. They also have board games to play while you drink. Super fun.

We tried some samplers from the very knowledgeable and nice bartender. It sounds like a great company and they have some good beers. The space is a little small, but I liked how you could look right into where they brew as you are drinking their beers.

Great vibes from this place! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. The perk French is my favorite. It’s cool that they usually have a food truck outside. They even let you play ping pong in the back as long as you don’t «knock» anything over. Thumbs up to this place, can’t wait to go back!

Definitely one of the better Breweries and Tap Rooms in Denver. The beer is fantastic, as a home-​brewer, I only aspire to create such innovative European influenced beers. This brewery has a good variety of great beers, from the award winning Brown ale, to the perfect summer French Ale, the sipping Tequila Saison and my new favorite the Double French IPA. This beer is like a Belgian IPA, only with less phenolic clove flavor and great fruit ester and hop aroma, really smooth and dangerously drinkable.

Nothing like some good beer with a French twist. I got a Groupon to here which was a really good deal and it worked because it brought me in to try this place. I honestly didn’t know it was here before. The place is smaller with indoor seating but they leave the doors open so it has some good lighting. There is also a food truck there every day and they mentioned they were having a big event coming up. Definitly a good place to check out.

The one word I would use to describe Diebolt is ‘solid’. Nothing over the top — just good beers, enough seating, and friendly people. I don’t know if i’d necessarily go out of my way to come back, but I did enjoy grabbing a few brews while in the area!

I agree with most of the reviews. Most of the beers are just okay. They are better than Budweiser by far, but with so much craft beer competition they need to step it up. They did have two excellent seasonal beers: the Wiggy Wiggy and a Saison I forgot the name of. Just order from the bottom of the menu. As it got closer to the top, they all tasted the same. The service was friendly. You can see the machinery from the tasting room. It’s on the industrial side of décor. They had a lot of beers with the word «French» in the title, yet they were called «Diebolt». Not sure the relation. Essayez un peu plus difficile. Merci!

I really think this place is about a 3.5 but it’s not quite a four-​star brewery. I tried a number of tasters, of which most were okay. The brown ale is really the only one to catch my attention. As someone else said, if I had to get a full pint I’m not sure I would be happy with any of these.
The space is fine… a bit plain for me but there is some charm in that, too. It definitely has that very local vibe to it, which I like. The staff was nice and there is a back area to play games or corn hole.

I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, ive had some of their beers on tap at local spots and was never impressed. I thought i just needed to go to the source and find out. Finally stopped in and grabbed a flight to see what i was missing.
They have a good assortment of beers to choose from, its just that not one of them can i see myself ordering a whole pint of and being happy with that decision.
The staff were nice and the space was fine, just none of the beers jumped out at me.

Ended up here for some Sunday football last week after many recommendations. The girlfriend and I met up with a friend and had a few pints each. The brewery has a super clean design, and the beertender and brewer were super nice. Beer was super solid, and the Braggart Brown (Silver Medal at GABF 2014) was one of the better brown ales I’ve probably ever had. Their Saisons are really great too, and the DIA was different, in a good way.
The only negative to Diebolt was that it was freezing cold. As in, almost see your breath cold. We were the first people there, and by the time halftime came around it was still so cold we couldn’t remove our jackets. And I get it, it’s winter. In Denver. It’s cold. But it wasn’t just us who noticed.
Overall, awesome spot that I would highly recommend. I think I might bring my parents back for a tasting in a few weeks!

Delicious beer. Absolutely fantastic. There isn’t a dog on the list. With all the little tasting rooms popping up, serving beer that is too young or not adequately filtered, Diebolt’s process shines. The staff are friendly and they have ping pong. There is a patio in the summer, dog friendly throughout.

I love this brewery in the Navajo Art District.
With so many breweries in the Denver Metro Area, it’s difficult for one to stand out. But, this place with its French style beers is truly unique. I especially enjoy their Saison. Take the opportunity to try any seasonal or small batch French beers they have on tap.
This place is conveniently located just a couple blocks from The Bug Theater, so we like to grab a beer here before a show. And, it’s a great place to meet for a brew before heading to the First Friday Artwalk on Navajo street.

I really liked Diebolt! I am glad there is a brewery in the Northeast section of Denver. The area can teeter towards being a nicer neighborhood or it could be slightly rough too. So with a brewery in the area instead an outright bar perhaps it will enhance the nice part more.
I got something a bit different on my visit here. I got their French Ale which was delicious! The beer had a great bready and hopiness to it which was excellent! The beer had a great smoothness to it as well! The place is very close to The Original Chubby’s restaurant so it would be an awesome idea to stop and have great beer and great Mexican food back to back!

Diebolt Brewing Company can laugh in the face of opening kinks because this place doesn’t seem to have any. While only a few months old, Diebolt is already brewing beer with the best of them.
Their tap list is well rounded with a standout Standard Porter and Greenback IPA, but their focus is on French ales — Saisons and the like. I tried a taster flight of the 8 beers on tap and enjoyed every single one of them. Also, unlike a lot of breweries in town, they don’t seem hell bent on brewing beers with sky-​high ABV’s. Sometimes a sessionable beer is preferred! I also like the fact that they offer 10oz pours — something I wish more breweries would do.
Their tap room is a nice place to hangout — friendly owners, board games, modern décor. However, it is kind of loud/​echo-​y due to the cement walls/​floors, but it’s nothing that a little noise proofing in the future couldn’t handle.
Diebolt will certainly be seeing more of me!

Super nice people and a convenient location right off of 38^th will put this brewery into our usual rotation. They haven’t been open for very long but are already kicking out some consistently good brews. On our first visit, they only had three beers on tap: a wheat, a pale, and a porter. The son of the father/​son Diebolt team explained that they were getting used to their new brewing equipment and cutting their teeth on some more standard and forgiving beers that can become year-​round staples.
Now they are beginning to do a bit more experimentation with a focus on French ales and saisons. The French ale (Anton Francois) serves as a great canvas upon which other flavors can be added. They had the Bier Thyme on tap when we visited this weekend which was described as a highly polarizing beer that people either love or hate (more hate) due to the overwhelming presence of thyme. I loved it. It took a few sips from my taster for me to get into it, but once I finished, I was ready for a ten ounce pour (and missed it when I moved onto the Autumnal Saison, which while solid, wasn’t as crisp and bright as the Bier Thyme). They also brewed a Bier Lavender that I regrettably missed as it apparently went pretty fast.
Prices are standard (about $ 5 for 16 ounce and $ 3.50 for 10 ounce pours) and they have a style for everyone. However, the rotating saisons and French ales are worth keeping an eye out for, especially if you’re a saison lover like me.
The space is nice and open and there are games available to play. You can also bring in food if you want.

On a rainy Saturday afternoon, Lisa H, James F, and I headed up the hill to check out one of Denver’s newest breweries after reading several glowing reviews.
We arrived to a full tap room, but not so full we couldn’t find a seat amongst the several tables and the bar. We snagged a few seats around a table, grabbed a game of Trivial Pursuit, and ordered up a sampler flight of Diebolt’s current 8 beers on tap.
I’m glad we decided to split the sampler between all of us because that was seriously a lot of beer! Seriously good beer, to boot! It was hard to pick a favorite because each brew was indeed tasty. I really enjoyed the François and ordered a pint of it for myself. The other stand outs for me were the seasonal saisons and the porter. While I couldn’t drink an entire pint, the experimental thyme beer was certainly memorable! Perhaps a little less thyme in a future brew would make it more palatable for me.
For being so new, I was really impressed with Diebolt! The tap room is polished and welcoming and the staff is friendly and happy to have you visit. We definitely enjoyed spending a few hours sipping beers and playing board games here. I’ll be back soon!
