Beer, Cocktails & Non-Alcoholic Drinks

Do you brew your own beer?

We sure do. Beer has been brewed at this alley location since 2013, and Alley Brews has been women-owned since 2025. We brew small-batch craft beer with a focus on traditional styles, thoughtful creativity, and plenty of variety.

What kinds of beer do you serve?

Our rotating tap list includes everything from crisp lagers and Kölsch to IPAs, wheat beers, Belgian styles, and rich stouts. We mix familiar favorites with seasonal releases and the occasional experiment.

Check out our current beer lineup.

Do you offer beer flights?

Yep! Flights are a great way to try a few of our beers before choosing a favorite. Ask our team what's pouring.

Do you serve cocktails and wine?

Absolutely. Our full bar includes craft cocktails, classics like margaritas and Old Fashioneds, espresso martinis made with fresh espresso, and wine. Beer might be in our name, but it's not the only thing we do well.

What if I don't drink alcohol?

You're in good company. We offer non-alcoholic beer, cocktails, kombucha, coffee, matcha, and other drinks. There's always something thoughtfully made on the menu, with or without alcohol.

Do you have gluten-free beer?

Yes! We carry gluten-free beer options, including selections from Colorado's Holidaily Brewing. Availability may vary, so ask our team what's currently pouring.

Coffee & Food

Do you serve coffee all day?

We do! Our espresso bar is open throughout the day, with lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos, cold brew, French press coffee, matcha, and more. Coffee isn't just a morning thing around here.

What kind of coffee do you use?

We proudly serve coffee from Colorado roasters, including Vail Mountain Coffee for our espresso and Queen City Coffee for decaf. Quality matters just as much behind our espresso machine as it does in our brewhouse.

Do you have drip coffee?

We skip the traditional drip pot and make our coffee to order. Choose from espresso-based drinks, French press, or cold brew.

Do you serve food?

Absolutely. Our menu features BBQ-inspired comfort food, including sliders, flatbreads, nachos, pretzel bites with beer cheese, and more. We have options for a quick bite, lunch, or dinner.

Do you have vegetarian or gluten-free food options?

Yes! We offer vegetarian and plant-based choices, including smoked jackfruit, along with some gluten-free options. Let our team know about any dietary restrictions or allergies so we can help you find something that works.

Can I come just for coffee or food?

Of course! No beer purchase required. Come for breakfast, lunch, a coffee meeting, or dinner with friends. That's the whole idea behind being an all-day neighborhood hangout.

About Alley Brews

Is Alley Brews women-owned?

Proudly! Alley Brews is owned and operated by Chelsea Rhoads and Liz Hess, longtime friends and craft beer industry veterans who also co-host the Body By Beer Podcast.

We took over the brewery in 2025, building on a brewing history at this location that stretches back to 2013.

What makes Alley Brews different?

We believe getting people together should be easy. One friend wants a beer, another wants coffee, someone else wants a cocktail, and somebody's hungry.

We built Alley Brews to make room for all of them, without anyone having to compromise.
