We’ve had the pleasure of displaying our woodworking wall art here, and this brewery is truly something special. The space is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. The kind of place where craft in all its forms feels at home. The team has been incredibly supportive of local artists and makers, and the atmosphere they’ve created makes people want to linger, connect, and appreciate the work around them. Pair that with excellent beer and a great vibe, and it’s hard to imagine a better place to spend an afternoon. Grateful to be a small part of such a well-curated, community-driven spot. Highly recommend stopping in...for the beer, the people, and the love of craft.

Was stuck at a hotel near the airport for 3 days as my flights were repeatedly cancelled. Luckily I found Danico. The atmosphere was great, the service/people here were amazing and the Lost Hills Cream Ale was so good it has me wanting to fly back to Denver just for a pint. All the beers I tried here were really good. If you are a fan of pistachio you MUST try the Lost Hills.

Huge space out near the airport, with enough room for group activities to not crunch / take up the whole venue. Bright finishes and local art, too. Beers were a bit thick versus their stated styles, and everything in Denver is pricey. Still liked it overall - good spot for a beer before flying

I don't remember ever seeing a craft brewery in such close proximity to the airport, but it should be more common. And done like Danico. There is so much space and it feels so open inside as well. Lots of bar seating, couch and table seating along with a decent sized patio outside. They also have a play area for children which I think is genius. Now to the beer. They do flights of 5 (first time I've come across that) and it gives you a chance to try more styles of beer. And I would say try everything, they were all fantastic. I personally can't recommend any one beer because I enjoyed them all. So choose what style of beer you want and go with that. No on site kitchen, but there is always a food truck serving and then bring it inside the brewery. Staff were very friendly and kept the beer flowing. If you are staying at a hotel out by the Denver Airport, Danico should be on your list to visit.
