High Hops Brewery in Windsor, Colorado, is the sort of place that makes you wonder if the gods of malt and hops ever got together for a brainstorming session. Housed inside The Windsor Gardener – a thriving garden centre that doubles as an adult‑only playground – the brewery boasts an on‑site distillery and a whopping 40 taps ranging from razor‑clean lagers to double IPAs that could make a grown man weep with delight.
Every Wednesday, the “Firkin Humpdays” roll out experimental batches, keeping the regulars on their toes and the newcomers hopeful for the next surprise. Their hop farm pedigree shines through in creations like the award‑winning Puckerberry sour, a mischievous blend of blackberry and lemon verbena that manages to be tart without being aggressive.
Beyond the beer, the venue feels more like a curated greenhouse than a typical taproom; a variety of plant species line the walls, and a cocktail flight offers an elegant detour for those who prefer something a little less hoppy (the founders had a thing for hops). With a strictly 21‑plus crowd and a meticulously selected roster of beers and spirits, High Hops delivers a refined, lively atmosphere without the usual pretension.
High Hops Brewery is praised for its welcoming atmosphere and exceptional beer quality. Guests appreciate the brewery's unique touches, such as a 21+ only policy and friendly staff, making it a standout destination for those seeking a relaxing experience.
