If you call yourself a craft beer fan and you haven't made the pilgrimage to downtown Greeley, you are missing out on one of the most decorated, award-winning taprooms in the entire country.


WeldWerks Brewing Co. didn't just put Greeley on the craft beer map; they took it over. Housed in a massive, renovated industrial space, this brewery is famous for pushing the absolute limits of brewing—from perfectly crafted hazy IPAs to insane, pastry-inspired sour ales that taste exactly like a slice of pie.


  • Where: WeldWerks Brewing Co. (508 8th Ave, Greeley)

  • The Vibe: Industrial, high-energy, and packed with beer nerds and locals alike.


Because they regularly drop limited-edition beers that sell out in hours, walking into the taproom on a weekend can be overwhelming. With over 30 beers on tap at any given time, you need a game plan. Here is our exclusive Rockstar playbook for navigating the menu, scoring the rarest pours, and hacking the food situation.



Welcome to the VIP side. Here is exactly how to run your afternoon at WeldWerks like a certified local:


1. The Mandatory Order: The "Juicy Bits" Standard If it is your first time here, do not look at the rest of the menu until you have ordered a Juicy Bits.

  • The Move: This is the flagship Hazy IPA that put them on the map. It is incredibly smooth, citrus-forward, and dangerously drinkable. Even if you "don't like IPAs," this one will change your mind.


2. The VIP Whale: Hunting the "Medianoche" WeldWerks is globally famous for its "Medianoche" barrel-aged stouts. They are thick, rich, and aged in premium whiskey and bourbon barrels.

  • The Hack: Bottles of Medianoche usually sell out online in seconds, but they almost always keep a variation of it on draft in the taproom. Ask the bartender if they have any Medianoche pouring. If they do, order a 5oz taster immediately. It is a world-class experience.


3. The In-House Food Flex You don't need to leave to get incredible food.

  • The Move: WeldWerks opened The Annex right inside the taproom. It is a chef-driven kitchen serving elevated comfort food. Order the Double Smashburger or the Fried Chicken Sandwich. The rich, salty food pairs flawlessly with the massive, hop-heavy beers.
