Finkel & Garf Brewing Company

Great little local place, rye saison is terrific, snack wall perfect touch! Staff is great as well!
That is our go to place for a beer!

Solid beers, great place to hang out.
I got a couple of ‘free pint’ cards from these guys at the Beer Festivus last year, and didn’t manage to make it up to North Boulder until this past weekend after a lovely day of skiing at Eldora.
As far as the spot is concerned, it’s definitely a ways out of Boulder, so don’t be fooled (like I was) that it’s right downtown. They didn’t do anything deceptive, I just saw a Boulder address and assumed it would be somewhere closer to downtown, it’s not a far drive up the diagonal highway though.
Anyway, I had three of their beers. The Rye Saison, the Imperial Red, and the IPA. The Imperial Red is like 9.8% ABV and it doesn’t feel like it, if you know what I mean, so be careful if driving. The IPA was pretty good, light and not too hoppy. The Rye Saison was probably my favorite though, well balanced and great flavor.
They only have a tap room, but they have a few menus of businesses that will deliver to them. They’ve got sushi, pizza and Nepali. We had just come from skiing and needed some grub, so we tried the sushi out. Guy got there pretty quick, but in the mean time they literally had a whole wall of snacks to choose from and they are only $ 1 each. I like that gesture, they aren’t trying to get rich on selling bags of chips, and nuts plus they had a ton of variety. They also had a bunch of games to play. They had a DJ in there playing some kind of house music, which I’m not a fan of, but it wasn’t obnoxious, and the owner came over and asked what we thought of the music.
Overall, I would definitely go back, good beer, fun times.

About as average as it gets. Tried every beer in flight and honestly, I found the root beer to be the best tasting drink they offer. However, I love the set up. The interior design is cool and comforting and the design of the snack wall is pretty sweet. 3 Stars all day.

I’ve come here a couple of times and I like it! The beers are tasty and the overall vibe is relaxed and fun. Once the weather stays warm it’ll be fun to sit outside and hang out.

I am giving this dump (1) star because this app will not allow less than that. As a former bartender I was appalled by the rude behavior of the staff at this so called «tap room». If you are in Gunbarrel, avoid this soon to be closed warehouse like the plague. Their beer is «so-​so», over priced, and the staff is extremely rude.

Beer is delicious and better yet, they custom blend based on your preferences… I’ve never experienced this before at a brewery! Vibe is laid back and all the décor is custom made. Anddd they allow dogs inside… 6 stars for being so dog friendly :) Overall, great experience… well done Finkel & Garf!

We are happy to have visited this brewery on our latest Boulder in-​prompt beer tour and was very very good. Beer is good, atmosphere is even better. They have a snack wall, perfect for those times that one is feeling the brews and snacks are very cheap. 100% dog friendly inside and at their nice patio. The patio I can say it’s perfect for a picnic. The staff was very well informed on the beer they sell and we had a pleasant conversation after closing time. If management is reading this, your bartender who cannot drink beer because he gets migrantes is very very cool. Give him a pad on the back fo’sho.

I like this place. They have good wheat beers, and very stealthy high APV Imperial Stout, and a great neighborhood vibe. I love the beer samplers; basically six quarter pint glasses served on a wooden board so you can try a variety of beers. The pizza place delievers $ 5 pizzas between 5−7PM and there are snacks on site. Please tip the delivery man though, they look like walking wounded coming in there and getting a mere buck for their efforts!
It isn’t just a taproom where you can try their beers, they also have beer for sale.
I’ve never been treated with anything other than kindness and respect. They do card EVERYONE however. It does not matter how old you look, the owner leaves no room for error in interpretation due to the SEVERE penalties in Boulder. So bring your ID if you want to be served.

Beers lack body. All of them taste very thin. I won’t go back for this reason though. The bartender refused to serve my 75 year old father in law with out an ID. Listen i get it you have to card, but for the love of god this guy is SO old and so obviously old not even a child could mistake him for underage. The female bar tender was a TOTAL bitch about it too. You guys lose. Next time someone with white hair who can barely walk gets his ass down to your bar serve him a beer ya jerks!
Second star was for the design. Very cool looking establishment.

Sadly, I had already had their Stout and Rye Saison before I visited the taproom. Compared to these two outstanding beers, the «house flight» was bland and unimaginative. I may try to go back to try the other beers they had but I will have a low set of expectations.

I was overall unimpressed. We walked in and no one greeted us or even made eye contact with us, despite not being busy and having more than one worker there. Awkward entrance with no clarity of what to do, so we sat at a table where we were left to just sit. Someone brought us a basket of Legos, which we wondered when they were last sanitized, but no waters, menu, or a welcome to the brewery. I was unimpressed with the beers and couldn’t taste the peach in their peach ale. The snacks are just standard vending machine snacks, so nothing to write home about there. I wished they had actual food, but mostly I wish they seemed to care that we were there vs the indifference we were met with. I don’t see a reason to go back.

If I told you that there’s a bar in the middle of an industrial zone that had some of the coolest board games, a wall of snacks and merch you won’t see almost anywhere, where there’s great craft beer, and somehow is both dog and child friendly, this is it.
Children aside, the best and most unique thing you’ve got to try is the beer sampler with the snack pairings. You can buy a slinky there, you can play knock hockey, you can enjoy delicious beer, and buy what felt like 100 different snacks there.
The people there are really doing a great job and I’m confident one day they’re going to have a location that’s not in the middle of no-​where. Keep up the excellent work, it’s the kind of craft beer place I’d open if I lived out there. Absolutely one of the best bars in my recent tour of Chicago and Boulder.
Congrats and continued success!

My friend took me here when I was in for a visit. This place is cool. There was a huge mix of people here: younger, people with kids and babies, and a million dogs. There were dogs everywhere. It was amazing. This places makes all of their own craft beers. I got a flight of their best beers and enjoyed all of them. They were all delicious. They have a snack pairing with each of the beers that you can get when you order a flight. Prices were pretty reasonable, fun atmosphere.

I absolutely love this brewery! One of my new favorites! My husband and i were so excited when we found out it was a dog friendly brewery as well. Really warm, enviting atmosphere and plenty of snacks! Now don’t get me wrong, I love beer, but typically there are a few beers (at a brewery) that I end up giving the rest to my husband. Not one of these beers I wanted to give away! Loved them all. Good job guys!

My life is ruined now that I have been to this place because it is so close to my house. Excellent, creative beer list and $ 1 snack wall? Too good. Cozy atmosphere and great bar staff? This is 5 star territory.

Beer is average, but the folks behind the bar are kind of jerks. My wife and I stopped by for drinks before dinner and quickly cashed out half-​way through our first beer. One would expect a bit more thanks for the patronage with all the competition in the area.

This is really a nice find in the Gunbarrel area, with some good beer and free pizza on Monday nights! Want to add something special with that pizza? They also have The Original Slim Jim, Cracker Jack’s, Corn Nuts, David’s Sunflower Seeds, and Hostess Twinkies. You had me at Beer, but I’m locked in with free pizza and always tastyTwinkies!

We ended up here b/​c several of the brewers at Avery told us to pop by! We were there about two weeks after it opened so it was very new but things seemed to be going pretty smoothly. The beers were pretty decent and I get the impression that is just going to improve from talking to the son/​father owners. And with Avery’s new location these guys will be literally down the street so they should get some nice exposure!

It took me too long to get to this hidden gem. Really cool location with a fun Rube Goldberg right in the tap room. Great beers and a friendly staff. I especially loved the IPA and the Saison. They also had a spiced ale which was very unique and when mixed with the peach wheat made one of my favorite beer mixtures everywhere. They have legos all around incase you like to play while you drink and they even have vintage snacks to pair with your beer. Try an oatmeal cream pie with a milk stout. It’s the grown-​up version of an after school– or work– snack. And the brewer is a great guy! This is a great place to go for good beer and good people. And vintage snacks and toys.

If you’re a Pearl Street fan, it might not be routine to come to this part of town, but trust me when I tell you it’s worth it.
I walked in to an open floor plan that is clearly well thought-​out and extremely inviting. The bar and surrounding tables, made from reclaimed wood, along with the playful decorations make you feel at home as you are greeted by Dan and his crew of knowledgable staff. They are as attentive as they are friendly, and the beer is as plentiful as it is flavorful and tasty.
As I left with growler in hand after spending an hour or so aging with the Lego at the bar, I can’t help to hope that I am able to return soon.
This place is soon to become a hot spot, so head over and enjoy the place before it’s a tourist attraction…
