Ratio Beerworks

Consistently tasty brew!
I have been here a handful of times and it is pretty great. They have a queue line at the end of the bar and an AHA discount. They do flights, but I usually just go for a beer and each time I remember it has been delish!
My only criticism is it is too popular. It gets crazy during peak party hours, especially in winter when the patio is too cold to hang. And it is poppin with hipster types, usually friendly, but definitely a specific demographic.
It is a solid, reliable spot to get a tasty local beer. I recall the saison being my favorite, but they offer all of the typical styles. Hop heads and dark beer lovers will also find a tasty brew.
Overall, this is a great local brewery with reliable craft beer that complements the area well.

The menu was a little small for my liking. I’m a fan of wheat beers and lighter beers and there wasn’t really anything catching my eye. I ended up doing tasters of Domestica and Dear You. I thought the Dear You was a little too hoppy for my preference. The Domestica was nice but it wasn’t anything that special. The tasting space was a little small, and there wasn’t much of an atmosphere. Not one of my favorite breweries in the area, but not bad.

Got the beer samplers and had a good time. There are also other breweries in the area, that have better beers in my opinion.

Good beer, good range of choice on the menu. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Good atmosphere, relaxed crowd (Tuesday evening). Great place to just hang out and chat with friends while having a beer.

I’ve been wanting to visit this brewery ever since I found them at the Keystone Bluegrass and Beer festival last August. I was instantly hooked with the strawberry berliner weisse. Such a clean and refreshing taste– I knew I had to try their other beers.
The brewery did not disappoint. They have a nice space in Rino with plenty of sitting room at community tables. It was a little dark inside, but maybe that’s the vibe they are going for. The photo booth was also a fun addition. This past visit, I tried the Dear You, french saison. Very crisp and light, and one of the best saisons I’ve had. They have a nice rotating selection of seasonal beers, so there’s always something new.
I would highly recommend checking this place out!

We love their beer and everyone should come here, grab a bite to eat from one of the awesome food trucks always parked outside and get an awesome beer. Not only is it a great neighborhood brewery, but they took one of our flyers we were handing out for our lost puppy. Thanks Ratio, you solidified me as a lifelong customer.

This was our last stop of the night, lots of room and loved the ambiance of this place. There are tables to sit; it seems like it would be a great place to hang out at when it isn’t freezing outside. If you’re hungry, go across the street, grab some food, and bring it to Ratio. The beers are also pretty great. We ended up having a great time cackling at this brewery. Will definitely be back to try out more beers.

What a great place to enjoy an evening with friends.
I came here on a Sunday night with friends and there was an awesome vibe here. Nice, relaxed and great beer. I’m not one for too many choices, so I like the 6 that I got to choose from. I had the dear you, which was great. Light and great to the taste.
Service, on point just like the beer. No complaints there. I’ll be back!

I came across Ratio on my latest trip to Denver as I was looking for a few new ones to try. This one is an easy visit if you want to make a quick beer tour of close by (Our Mutual Friend, Epic and Spangalang). Beer lineup will have something for everyone in your group including Saison, IPAs, and a Goze. I tried a few and each that I tried was good quality. I wouldn’t say they are super memorable, but it was the third brewery of the night for me so my palette was stretched at that point. I’ll have to come back to give a full evaluation. Cheers. On the night I visited (Wednesday), they had a nice Mexican food truck which was nice.

I love the assortment of brew pubs around town and the yummy food trucks they attract outside but what I don’t like is every time I order a beer it comes in a dinky glass! So much for drinking pints in these pubs eh?!
Anyways, I ordered the Scotch Ale that had a tasty chocolate flavor then there was another they had, oh heres another downside, they keep rotating brews so its not on their website anymore, but I remember it came in an even smaller pour! Both beers were excellent however so 4 stars for tasty beer! I get the idea of creating different styles of beer in small batches, it just means that one of these places could never become my local tho I have the Abbey for that where I can get a decent pint anytime.

I came across Ratio via a social media post from one of my favorite breweries, Burial. If the beer is good enough for them, surely it’s good enough for me, right?
Turns out this is some of the best beer I’ve had in ages, particularly the Hold Steady chocolate rye scotch ale.
Just wish they distributed in NC.

At first I was sad when Mile High Spirits closed last year and moved out of this space… Then Ratio opened and I was instantly excited again! Besides River North, Ratio is my favorite brewery in the RINO area.
The Dear You french saison is amazing and bursting with flavor. The strawberry berliner weisse is also very flavorful and super light at the same time with a hint of sour. Ratio just released their first bottled beer as well, so I expect this brewery to rise over the next few years.
I was so disappointed with Mile High Spirits closing because the side yard area is super nice. Very few places have a nice outdoor area attached to a bar/​brewery were you can sit and also play games. Ratio has the same outdoor area, but replaced the old field turf with gravel for a cleaner look. There are still a few sets of cornhole and plenty of picnic tables. Ratio is also one of the breweries in the RINO area with a quality food truck out in front on almost every night, so call ahead or look online to see what the nights selection is!

Ratio is one part 80s lounge, 2 parts good beer and 3 parts awesome. If my math is right here that means that Ratio is a really, really, really awesome place to drink beer and listen to some sweet tunes. Claire C and Shannon G and I came for a brew or two before a Rockies game. I love how they very clearly show where to line up at the bar, none of this standing behind people sitting at the bar hoping that the beer slinger notices your longing gaze and pours you 16 oz of liquid sunshine. No, not here, you line up like a proper adult and wait your turn. And because the system is orderly and the bar tenders attentive the line moves pretty darn well! Even on a Friday evening.
It was a warm evening so I got lighter beers, I can’t recall their names, but they were refreshing and tasty. For a day when you can sit outside and enjoy the warm Colorado sun I think Ratio’s patio is just perfect.
1.618 is the golden ratio and Ratio Beerworks is the golden in my book.

Ahh, this place is quintessential craft brewery. It has the feel and vibe of 100 of the breweries here in Seattle. and that’s okay. It’s supposed to feel that way. But also, this is definitely kind of an uppity craft beer place. The demographic was just one data figure, except for my friend and I who only were half that. If I speak cryptically I just mean that it’s a super white people place. Not quite bro-​y but. white. And kinda rich white? I mean, the place has the illusion of being a podunk garage space but it was obvious to me they invested quite a bit of money in the space and I guess the people that frequent there are also well off.
The space is big though, we really liked the different beers on tap. There’s a really easy to read digital board with mini-​descriptions so you can easily pick out what you want. We ran into many people our host knew, so it was like Cheers except nothing like it.

Great service, and the IPA, Saison, and Coffee Stout were fantastic. They are having a Plum Saison, and Brett Saison release party this Thursday and Friday. I am ready to bump this to five stars after I taste, I think they will be epic… Came back for the saisons, they were indeed tasty, also had a pint of IPA. My boyfriend tasted everything too. Really solid, beer here. I will say the first time I was here a couple taps were empty, but they were then filled within a couple days and was worth the wait. Really nice and attentive staff too. Easy to park, and I have not had any problems, but the area is on the seedy side.

This is another great brewery if you havent been in. Pony up to the bar and look at the list and order some brew. The beer tenders are quite knowledgeable. The Saison must of been my most favorite. And then the Strawberry beer was 2^nd runner up.
Just watch out for Rude Fan boys who will pony up to the bar even when your Effing Beer is right there. Damn Jerks. And it seems people cant pay attention to the sign on the right of the bar where you can order if you arent sitting at the bar, so you arent standing behind patrons sitting at the bar.

Hip little tap room! Lots of seating, dog friendly atmosphere and interesting beer flavors make this a great little spot in RiNo. The only down side is that their funky tap room space gets very stuffy, and is in desperate need of a ceiling fan. We didn’t stay long since the tap room was so hot and stuffy, but I’d go again, just maybe on a cooler day.

Just a great little taproom in RiNo.
We stumbled upon this gem when Our Mutual Friend closed for the evening and we heard that this place was open an hour later.
The beertenders were friendly and knowledgeable. We sampled all the beers they had available. They don’t get too «weird» with their beers here. Just a lot of good, true-​to-​style brews.
The space is great. Plenty of street parking. Good beer. What more could you want?

Just in case you weren’t sure. here is another great brewery to add to the list of reasons why RiNo is the best place for beer in Denver.
Ratio hit the ground running taking up the old Mile High Spirits space. Their beer is really nice and theres more on the way! I tried the Hold Steady scotch ale in its normal form and cold pressed coffee infused. Great scotch ale and with the coffee. yum! Ive never had a coffee infused scotch ale actually so I that was a nice unique way to do it instead of the standard coffee stout. Speaking of stout I also tried that one too. pretty standard imperial stout nothing mind blowing. They told me they are currently aging some in CO whiskey barrels so I will be very interested to try that out. After the heavy beers I switched over to more sessionable ones and went with the Domestica american standard ale. Very tasty and easy to drink. I also had a few sips of my friend’s Dear You french saison. Really good! I will definitely get a full pour of that next time.
I went in a few days after the grand opening on a pretty crazy snowy night. So there wasnt much of a crowd and it had a very relaxed vibe. The staff was very nice and knowledgable on the beer too. The interior has a pretty cool retro/​midmod style and there is also a large patio and garage doors for those awesome Denver summer nights. Cant wait to come back on a nicer day!

Great brewery! This brewery is colorful and has giant open doors, which is great on a sunny Denver day! I would rate 4.5 stars but unfortunately that’s not an option.
I first ordered the Hold Steady dark scotch ale, it had a great coffee flavor but wasn’t too heavy. I highly recommend their French Saison — it’s a nice beer to balance it all out and is floral and refreshing. This is the opening day, so I’m sure it will calm down, but it was hard to find a table and the lines were long. The line moved quickly though and was never more than 10 minutes. This brewery is in a great location and I am sure I will be back.
