On the Westword's 100 for beer spots, Hogshead is located in The Highlands. Definitely has their regulars already bellied up to the bar before noon. No judgment- we are here before noon too! Hogshead has ample seating for any party size, inside or outside. They have started to add food to their menu as well- grilled cheese coming soon. Not a beer aficionado so went with the Picnic Pilsner from the keg side of the menu. Hogshead prides itself in having cask brews as well. Definitely has a chill vibe and a great neighborhood pub for The Highlands. The service was friendly and most importantly, Hogshead is dog friendly!
Fun little brewery that is one of the few in Colorado that offers cask-style beer. I went with the Gilpin Black Gold, a porter with 5.8% ABV. Rich and smooth, it was enjoyable. Service was friendly. Plenty of seating options inside, in an enclosed patio, and outside. They also have cocktail options that support other local businesses (Molly Brown Distillery).
One of our favorite breweries in Denver! They are dog friendly, have a nice heated patio in the winter and the cask beers are extremely good. The staff is always friendly and they have a sauna deal for a cold plunge into a sauna + a beer - fun lil thrill thing to do in the winter. Plus they have events all the time and we've done a beer pairing dinner with a chef and chili cook off so far!
It's the best beer in Denver. Gotta be getting the cask ales + stop by on Sundays for a sauna and cold plunge
This place rocks! We come all the time. The beer is amazing and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The cask beers are great! If you've never had one before I would definitely recommend trying a flight to see which you like best! There's indoor and outdoor seating and in the winter they enclose the patio and have heaters in it!
After all these years, I love their ESB. Such a good beer. They've expanded the patios... much more seating outside. I love the new layout. Although they may have food for a while it's now readily advertised in the main room. Love to see this place grow!
If you have ever been curious to try Real Ales the way they have been served in England for generations Hogshead is a must. They have multiple beer engines which dispense the beer via manual pump ,without the use of compressed gas, and are served at cellar temps (not excessively refrigerated).
I had a fantastic time at the beer garden that surrounds this excellent establishment. Irish Red, cask, was the best beer I have ever had!
Great beers, great space to enjoy the beer. We sat outside on a beautiful sunny day, indoor space looks comfortable including large enclosed patio. Dog friendly!
