Bull & Bush Brewery (Craft Beer & Brewery in Denver CO)

Bull & Bush Brewery opened its doors in 1971, and it has been turning Denver into a pilgrimage site for anyone who believes a good pint should be as daring as a stunt double in a circus. The lineup reads like a catalogue of clever rebellion: a crisp Jasmine Rice Lager that smells like a garden after rain, a Hazy IPA that looks like a cloud and tastes like sunshine, and the stoic Big Ben Brown Ale that reminds you why the classics never die. Every brew carries a trophy or two, proof that the folks here take their craftsmanship seriously—without slipping into the smugness that often follows a gold medal.

The kitchen follows the same rule‑breaker ethos, serving comfort food that feels familiar yet throws you a curveball, like the Bourbon PSL Martini that could convince even a purist to raise an eyebrow. The interior is an industrial‑chic cave, dark and cosy, complete with a fireplace that makes the whole place feel like a proper English pub (minus the damp). The bar staff know their hops from their barley, and they’re happy to explain the difference without sounding like they’ve written a thesis. In short, Bull & Bush is a rare blend of history and invention, delivering a drinking experience that’s both reverent and delightfully mischievous.
