While sipping beers along the way, you’ll see how a failed geologist started a brewery that defined Denver’s beer culture, explore Denver’s new Dairy Block and visit a small outpost of a Colorado mountain brewery, sip beers from the brewery that made canning craft beer cool.
You’ll also get to know Denver’s best kept secrets. You’ll walk through Denver’s original red light district, hear about Denver’s outrageous grave robbers, & learn other seamy Denver history!
Throughout the tour, you will be accompanied by a knowledgeable guide who will:

What To Expect
Rock Bottom Brewery
On the LoDo Craft Beer Tour, one of our featured stops is Rock Bottom, a place where the charm of a friendly neighborhood bar meets the sophistication of a gourmet eatery and the innovation of an award-winning craft brewery. At this unique location, the experience is elevated by the presence of a local on-site Brewmaster who expertly taps an array of unique beers and seltzers, all brewed in-house. This commitment to local brewing excellence ensures that each visit offers a new and exciting taste experience. As part of our tour, Rock Bottom stands out as a testament to Denver's vibrant brewing scene, showcasing the city's flair for combining traditional brewing techniques with modern twists. It's not just a brewery; it's a destination that offers a complete sensory experience, blending taste, aroma, and atmosphere into an unforgettable stop on our journey through Denver's best brews.
Daniels and Fisher Tower
The Daniels and Fisher Clock Tower, a historic and iconic landmark in Denver, stands as a proud reminder of the city's rich heritage. Originally part of the Daniels & Fisher department store, which was one of the largest retail establishments west of the Mississippi River, the tower was completed in 1910. This stunning example of Renaissance Revival architecture is most famous for its 16th-story observation deck, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains and the Denver skyline. The tower's intricate details, including its four giant clock faces, each measuring 16 feet in diameter, add to its architectural splendor. Having survived the demolition of the original department store in the 1970s, the Daniels and Fisher Clock Tower now stands as a solitary monument in the heart of downtown Denver. It's a popular spot for both locals and tourists, not only for its historical significance but also for the unique perspective it offers on the city.
