Knotted Root Brewing Company - Nederland, Colorado

Sara L. F.

Knotted Root Brewing Company is an absolute gem in Nederland! We stopped by on a windy but sunny afternoon and had an incredible experience. Their Belgian-style beers were top-notch—favorites included Home (a crisp and refreshing Pilsner), the deliciously tart Raspberry Lemon Goo, and a fantastic Hazy IPA.

The atmosphere is welcoming and laid-back, with plenty of seating both inside and out. We even spotted a knitting club gathered around a table, adding to the cozy, community vibe. Dogs are welcome, which is always a plus, and there’s a food truck on-site—we grabbed some fries to pair with our brews. Bar seating is also available, and the service was quick and friendly. The place was buzzing with locals, making it feel like a true neighborhood spot.

To top it off, you can grab some of their excellent canned beers to go. If you’re in the area, this is a must-visit for any craft beer lover! As a brewmasters daughter, I can say this confidently.

Really love this place. We have been trying to hit it up whenever we're in Nederland. Amazing beers, great outdoor area, fun and cozy interior. Dogs allowed inside and out. Great vibes. All the bartenders have been so friendly, nice, and welcoming, too. Can't say enough good things! Amazing beer with amazing people, what more could you want?

As my husband stated, this brewery makes you feel like family. We felt very blessed to meet some of the kindest people who immediately made us feel welcome (employees + customers). They are also dog friendly, which we appreciate! They gave our pups so much love and understood that one of them feels uneasy towards strangers. Also, every one of their beers we tried (hazy IPA + sour) were so refreshing and tasted amazing!

Stopping by this brewery has been one of the main highlights of our trip. Thank you for the memorable experience. We hope to see you all again! Cheers! 🫶

Definitely one of the best places for IPAs in the state, if not the whole country. I go everywhere looking for good IPAs and have tried all the best rated ones (Pliny, Heady, Treeshouse, etc) and I swear this place is in the same league but flying under the radar and not getting the attention it deserves. If you like IPAs this place is worth a special trip. Also, the open times I've found on Google were wrong. Stop by if you're in the area, even if Google says it's not open

Great atmosphere, nice outdoor area, awesome staff. Loved the craft beer selection! Dog friendly, local favorite. When we were there they had live music and a visiting sushi cart. Amazing experience!

Some good IPAs and a nice decor. Bit of a drive and off the beaten path for sure. Sunday has jazz just later in the day. No food except for pretzel snacks. Dog friendly nice bartender who checked on the patrons frequently. Nice outside area too and inside a fussball table as well. Quiet which I appreciated. The best was the triple IPA which was called apparently I like stick inages and we didn’t like the perpetually unimpressed….well I wasn’t impressed. lol. It was a nice stop on the beer trail

Found this place a few years ago on a ski trip. My friends and I make it a point to come every time we’re in Colorado. Such great beers and atmosphere. Max the bartender was great and was able to provide lots of delicious beer recommendations.
