Lost Highway Brewing Company

Fun taproom and a great selection of beers. Something for every level here, was really pleased with the small batch and seasonal they had on tap this week.
Good space off Colfax, great people watching as you would expect, a few TVs with the staff quick to switch between games and events for ya.
Got to chat with the local NASCAR aficionado while I was there and it seems like the kinda brewpub that has a few nice regulars.
If you’re seeing a show or grabbing a bite in the area it makes for a good pre or post spot for sure.

Service was exceptional and the beer was good!
The bar area was full so we grabbed a table. Before long, (I believe his name was Cameron) stopped by and filled us in on all the goodies. The place got full and couldn’t help but notice that he made sure time was spent with every guest, making them feel valued. He sure knew how to work the place. Will be back!

We came here this past Sunday to catch the tail end of the Seattle/​Pittsburgh game and to watch the Broncos/​Pats game. At first we sat down and no one approached us. Since the TVs were closer sitting at the bar, we switched seats. Cameron our bartender greeted us. Told us about the brewery and everything in between. We ordered a total of 3 brats, had some delicious slaw and pasta salad, 2 flights of wonderful beer and 3 blocks of their cheese. You want to talk about great beer and great food? Yeah this is the place. I’m looking forward to the next trip! As Colfax has really changed in the past ten years, this place definitely gets high marks for adding to the nuance of Colfax from the hay day!

Good service and great beer! Didn’t try the food. Would like this place better without the tv’s. Best pumpkin beer ever!

Got a groupon to this place and decided to check it out…
Let me start out by saying we love beer… a lot. We also just moved from Oregon where we have hit up about 17 breweries total.
The service here was great. Our server/​bartender was very helpful and accommodating. Was a big fan of that guy.
The ambiance was eh. They have big glass windows to see the kettles, that’s cool. They also have games to play and a large size connect four, I like that idea. I like that the outside seating replicates a bar since we love sitting outside and we love sitting at bars. I guess what I was put off by was the kid refrigerator magnets saying their beer names. We are adults after all and somehow that look doesn’t mesh with cool brewery on colfax vibe.
Now let’s get to the beer. I thought it was fantastic. Nothing less than a 3.5 (via untapped) quite a few fours. I was really quite pleased with it. As long as the beer tastes good I don’t care what the place looks like. We got flights so we tried about 8 of them and there wasn’t one we did not like. Wish we could have tried the almond coconut porter though, but apparently they blow the keg almost daily… we will be back ! Thanks for making great beer

Stopped by with a Groupon — $ 28 for two flights and a growler. We were able to sample each beer with the exception of the double IPA (my choice). The bartenders were super knowledgeable — always a plus. My favorite was the longest wickedest wit and we ended up filling up our growler with that. I was also starving so I ordered the bbq plate, it was $ 8 and consisted of two sliders and a side of coleslaw. Next time I will probably go without, it wasn’t terrible but it also wasn’t very good. I did appreciate that they had food, so maybe I’ll just try something else. The groupon deal was excellent and it’s close to where I live so I will definitely be back.

We stopped in after getting food next door to just try some brews. I was pretty bummed that they were out of the coconut porter (which sounded awesome — I’ll have to go back to try that one) — but they have plenty to offer! Several beers that fit my taste, and they also managed to please my friend’s taste and she like pretty hoppy options. I recommend the taster flights as some of the descripitons don’t do the flavor justice!
They have a very casual atmophere, and a freindly staff, so if you are in the neighborhood, stop by and give their beers a try.

Great casual hang out, a great wit, but so bummed they were out of the almond coconut porter to try. Bring it to GABF I must try it!

I can’t believe I’ve been here twice and forgot to review. Lost Highway is a great spot on Colfax. Like most buildings in the neighborhood it’s deceptively small on the outside but has decent space inside. They have a much larger inventory of beers than most breweries, but they also have wine and a couple of liquors as well as cold food. The staff has been great both times. I’d say I’m ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ with their beers, but they are all made very well. These guys know what they’re doing. I’d recommend getting the flight and trying everything as they can probably satisfy every palate.
Cheers!

I came here after purchasing a Groupon. I had misread some of the text, so I was stuffed to the brim! Bryan and Laura were super friendly at the bar and very knowledgeable about the beer options. The food was super tasty. I liked the Carolina Gold style BBQ for the sliders. The buns were super fluffy and fresh. I also really liked the cole slaw which was made out of shaved Brussels sprouts. It had a nice lemony kick to it.
The beer was also very good. The Pilsner was very refreshing. I think most of all they excelled with their Belgian-​style beers. They were all super flavorful. Their IPA was a bit different than I expected, as the focus was on more earthy flavors, but it was still fairly good. I’m super excited to come back for their Wednesday Wings night.

Came back for passport week. I will say, the bartender this time was MUCH better. Hopefully it keeps improving!

So far, this is the top spot on our Colfax Pub Crawl… Cameron is an awesome and informative server. The beer is tasty — my friend rates his Pilsner «great» (light and crisp and summery). My IPA was good. The fried brussel sprouts from next door took this from three stars to four. When I come back to visit my Denver bud, I may pop this up to a five star rating…

I used to live in City Park West and drove by this place all the time, anxiously awaiting it’s opening. But the papered up windows were there for what seemed like forever, and I eventually started to wonder if maybe instead of opening it was actually closed. And then I moved across town and frankly kind of forgot about it. Fast forward. It has been open long enough to become a few of my friends’ favorite breweries, and I had the pleasure of checking it out this afternoon for the first time.
Upon entering we were greeted by two friendly and funny gals tending the taps. I wish I asked their names because they played a large role in our positive experience. It also probably helped that initially we were the only people there, though that soon changed as a few more folks trickled in after us. I was able to use my Denver Passport (2 for 1 option) and ended up with the Wit. One friend got the IPA and another also chose the Wit. I debated getting the Porter but it was too warm for that today. Since we had the entire place to ourselves, we picked prime seating on the small outdoor space to enjoy the desperately overdue sunshine. Taste-​wise the beers hit the right marks. As an aside, I had tried their pumpkin ale last fall while imbibing at Cheeky Monk, and it was one of the best pumpkin beers I’ve had.
Good service. Good brews. A solid choice in the ever expanding Denver beer scene.

It took seemingly forever for this spot to open, so I took my sweet time writing a review. However, this is one of those breweries that is constantly improving and you’ve got to appreciate that. My numerous experiences have been good to great and I think another visit is in my near future!
Sitting at the bar has been my best visit here, and I haven’t dabbled in their grub as of yet, but just might someday. My most memorable beer I have enjoyed here was called Liquid Pajamas. It was a high alcohol content, flavorful delight that guaranteed you would be going to sleep shortly after. So tasty!
It is a wonderful location, they have improved the lighting levels, the beers are constantly changing, and the space can accommodate a large group. I have had some great conversations here and it is likely a result of vibing off the Colfax energy. Random weirdos and friends alike have enhanced this brewery experience for me and I want some more. This is a great spot for a Colfax bar crawl too. I can only hope that their progress continues!

AWESOME BEER! Its just all the ones I tried whether it was the OG or the lager (not sure if I had the lager) and the saison were all sweet. The beer is really sweet. So if you know someone who doesnt like beer this place may be a bit different. Strong flavors of chocolate, caramel and sweet wine were present in all the beers I had.
However the space is cool and so are the patrons. I met this guy there who was hitch hiking across the USA. The staff are also friendly and were able to tell me about the beers and were extremely knowledgeable.

My first time at Lost Highway and I tried the While Hops Saison with Hibiscus. It was a VERY easy drink, and had lots of flavor.
The service here, though business was slow, was fantastic. I was able to try some amazing beer (specifically the Quad).
Will update when I have more time to try new beers!

Microbreweries seem to be popping up faster than Starbucks these days, so finding a good one is a pleasant surprise. Finding an AWESOME one is straight up, well, awesome. They have a wide selection, so if you are a beer connoisseur, you are certain to find something that will fit your palette.
The place is warm, inviting, and clean. I was there on a Thursday night and the place was packed. They do a Geeks Who Drink pub quiz on Thursdays that starts at 8pm. Good fun!

I thought the beers (especially the lighter beers) were pretty good. It’s not often that a Pils will be my favorite style from a brewery but for LHBC it was. their Golden and Wit also were pretty good. I wasn’t a fan of the pumpkin beer that they had on tap. I felt that all the flavor of the beer was lost to the amount of spice notes present.
I think their little deli case with salumi, cheese and olives and serving baguettes from Babette’s Artisan Bread Co to be genius but that’s only because I’m a fan of all those items. Popcorn, pretzels, and the other common snacks are getting just a little tired at breweries. Carrying actual food is a welcome addition.

When I lived in Capitol Hill, I was waiting with anticipation at the opening of a brewery so close to my apartment. And then I waited… and waited… and waited, until 2? years later it finally opened.
Now that it has, I say it’s a cool little brewery, though not my favorite in town. I had two beers: a nice, citrusy pilsner and a pumpkin beer with way so much clove flavor it left my mouth a bit numb.
You’d think from their logo and the former door murals that Lost Highway would have a 50s beatnik kind of feel, but it was «lost» on me. Instead it felt kind of sterile and reminiscent of an ad agency lobby or something. Which is odd because I believe Lost Highway is owned by the same people who own Cheeky Monk, which has fantastic ambiance. The service was also quite slow… so slow that I wanted more beer but didn’t want to wait for it.
If they lower the lights a little and quicken the service, I might return to try a few more beers.

The long awaited opening of Lost Highway has finally happened… Yay! I guess. The over hype and the anticipation I think soils the actual brewery opening itself, but what can you do.
I have now been here twice, the first time excellent service, fun atmosphere and delicious beers. Second time not so much, which was weird since it was around 10 O’clock and that typically is when Colfax picks up with the strange good times. The real issue was the lighting, you can’t have high ceilings and a bright lights unless you want to make it feel like a peculiar old warehouse. I don’t think any bar/​restaurant/​brewery should have bright lights, typically after the sun goes down I’m all in for a dimly lit good time with friends.
Regardless of my issues with the lights, the actual space is abundant and does have a decent flow through the overall layout, and along with this I really do enjoy the beers. I’m personally a fan of the Pumpkin ale, not to pumpkin’y, but not to ale’y either. All of the beers have obviously been brewing for a while and know what they’re doing. Of the sampler that I tried nothing knocked me over and made me need to run back here, but they all had good flavor and felt finished.
I think as time passes the brewery will get into their niche and I’m sure since I live just down the road I will become a weekly regular. The little indoor outdoor patio is pretty sweet too for the creeps that want to watch the Colfax peeps do their thing.
I would recommend anyone in the area to hit them up and give them a try, my guess is they’ll only get better.
