2 reviews for Upslope Brewing Company
| LaMichael (599), Colorado | | August 7, 2009 [ Updated August 11, 2009 ] Small taproom, clean and sanitized, plain interior, lots of merchandise on display, giving you another peek into how this brewery is trying to succeed (1 pt beer, 2 pts marketing, not that there’s anything *really* wrong about that). So no seasonals on tap when I visited, only the pale ale and IPA, both of which were decent but not great, but certainly *MUCH* better than their canned products. The brewery and taproom are located in a character-less semi-industrial strip-mall type building. No crowd, no life to the place at all on a weekday night. Probably only a place I’ll visit when I want to bike uphill into NW Boulder and they are offering a new seasonal to try. Whatever their plans are and whatever they envision growing into, right now they do not qualify for a traveler’s list of beer places to visit while in Boulder. | beertheory (1), , Colorado does not count - explanation | | January 3, 2009 [ Updated January 4, 2009 ] Two beers (pale and IPA) on tap at the tasting room (in a warehouse block in N. Boulder), which is open limited hours (4-6 on Thursdays and Fridays, 3-5 on Saturdays). Poor service behind the bar when I visited (though it was not busy), and they don’t seem to have enough tasting glasses if more than two people come in at once. Beer is available to go in small-ish growlers, kegs, and cans, but is all pretty expensive relative to the local competition. Thought their IPA was pretty good, so I hope that this operation can make it, but my experience with their tasting room did not make me optimistic. |
