Ale House at Amato's

Of Breckenridge Brewery’s three neighborhood brewpubs in Denver, the brand-new Ale House is easily our favorite. It’s not just because of its hot digs in Lower Highland, amazing views of downtown (see page 23), or sparkling modern decor; it’s more the sheer breadth of beers on tap. Sure, you’ll find lots of brews from Breckenridge and partner Wynkoop Brewing Company, but the Colorado-heavy list also features craft beers from nominal competitors, including Boulder Beer, Bristol Brewing, Odell, Oskar Blues, and Ska. We’ll drink to that. 2501 16th St., 303-433-9734, www.alehousedenver.com
