Aim for weeknights after 7pm when the post-work rush dies down."},{"q":"Do Denver breweries require reservations?","a":"Most operate on a first-come, first-served basis, though larger groups (6+) should call ahead on weekends. A handful of newer spots with full restaurants do take bookings for dining areas."},{"q":"How much should I budget for brewery hopping in Denver?","a":"Plan for $7–$9 per pint, with tasters running $2–$4 each. Many breweries offer flight deals (4–5 samples) for $12–$18, which is the smartest way to explore."},{"q":"Is there a dress code at Denver breweries?","a":"It's Denver—come as you are. Hiking boots, flannels, and brewery tees are the unofficial uniform, though you'll fit in just fine in anything casual."},{"q":"When's the best time to visit Denver breweries?","a":"Weekday afternoons (2–5pm) offer elbow room and good light for patio hangs. Saturday afternoons get packed but carry the best energy; Sunday mornings are sleeper hits if the brewery opens early."}],"citation":"Eventism Editors. \"Best Breweries in Denver\".
