10 Barrel Brewing Co.

The best brewery days are spent outside, which is even truer when you’re on the massive rooftop patio at 10 Barrel, a multi-story brewpub in RiNo. They serve a charming roster of beers, especially their flagship IPA, Apocalypse, which pairs perfectly with a number of their food dishes. Bring a big group and split the piping hot Pretzel + Cheese, Truffle Fries, or the appetizer MVP: the 10 Barrel Steak Nachos with Cajun chips and fries, topped sky-high (good thing you’re already on the roof) with steak, bacon, jalapenos, garlic, shallots, four-cheese sauce, and green onion.
