Call To Arms Brewing Company

My husband and I stopped by here last weekend, as we live relatively near the area. I had a sampler flight and tried four beers before settling on one. They were all beers I would drink again, although I don’t consider myself a connoisseur.
The service was good, despite the bar being very busy. We went up to the bar to order our drinks, and they were attentive and quick with pours when we did. Super friendly too.
The brewery has a little free library and a games collection, so we settled in with our beers and Scrabble and had a very enjoyable afternoon.
I eventually picked up some tacos from the taco truck outside, and they were excellent. Their barbacoa taco, in particular, was outstanding. Can’t wait for Mas Kaos to open next door!

Easily 1 of my favorite Breweries already. The space is great, the chairs & tables super cool, and the beer is amazing. The taco truck outside was a solid treat as well… duck & pork belly tacos were awesome. Sitting at the bar, we also had a great chat with 1 of the beer-​tenders. With a great line-​up of seasonal and staple brews, we have mad love for this joint and we’ll be making regular stops !

Not sure why it’s taken us so long to find this place considering its 6 blocks from our house! Great atmosphere, great beer, very reasonably priced. It’s not a brewery where you’re surrounded by beer snobs and to-​goods… Just people who like good beer as much as the next!

Another great brewery on the Northside is gonna keep me from having to travel to River North or the Eastside of town! The quasi english pub style décor works too and the wall of half wall garage door windows is great when it warms up outside. I don’t think I’ve tried a bad beer here yet out of the 5 or ten tasters I’ve had.

This is a comfortable place to enjoy a beer with friends for a relaxing afternoon. It has the feel of a place where you’d want to hang out versus many breweries where you feel you’re sitting in a warehouse with makeshift seating. And if you get hungry while you’re drinking with friends, there’s a food truck in the parking lot serving tacos. (A preview of what’s to come when the food truck owners finally open their Mexican /​Italian restaurant called Mas Kaos across the hall from the brewery.)

3 stars should read as «Average», and that’s what this place screams. A brewery should be a place to kick back, and have some fun. But when service lags because the 2 bartenders want to act like prepubescent kids frolicking over some absurd christmas jingles, and then commence to gyrate while looking patrons right in the eye, like some elk hopped up on the sauce… there is where I draw The Line. The beers were fine… nothing great, nothing resembling Vile Swill either. This place has a lot of potential though, as a cool neighborhood British pub. It would be neat to see more beers indicative of the geography rather than so much German style beer, unless a Rauchbier is on the way.
But alas, this scene is not My Scene… not with kids slinging pints, not with having to wait for them to decide which next obnoxious song to play and try to dance to, while patrons wait patiently, hoping for an End To It All.

We visited with our son, who is a big micro brewery fan. We tasted our way through most of the beers and found them great for the most part. The food truck in the parking lot provided us with some snacks. Liked it, especially the Saison and the Wit brews. A good spot to stop on a tour of Tennyson St.

We went in here on Christmas eve, the two female bartenders couldn’t be more obnoxious and child like.
All they did was writhe around singing off key 90’s christmas songs and jiggle their elephantine rear ends about like subnormal specimens. Quite the embarrassing spectacle.
The beers were ok. Not great, nothing I would recommend, or go out of my way for a second round.
So many craft breweries to choose from in Denver, this one is bland, and the service we received was an obnoxious put off, and a bit of a joke.

Didn’t care for the service, we had to go up to the bar to order beers when we were some of the only people in there.
Took 3 tiny samples that my 2 friends and I sipped off and the bartender said she was «cutting us off on samples». This was after we had to wait for her to stop talking to her co worker.
Once we did finish our beers, she came and took our glasses, not offering another round. It made it an easy decision to leave and go have a beer elsewhere on Tennyson where there are plenty of better bars to go to. Good luck Call to Arms.
Beer was okay

Beer was not good. The service was insulting, both the female bartenders ignored us even though it was empty. More concerned with talking to each other than serving the few people with empty glasses in the bar. On a street with 15 bars I can’t imagine this place sticking around

Beer was very tasty and they offered a lot of variety of beers. The staff was friendly and the décor was wonderful! If you like dark beers, choose the «beer and coffee drink you». Pretty tasty. The reason for the 4 out of 5 stars was due to the price of the beers.

I had a great chance to drink this beer at a special event. Will the man repping the beer, did a great job to introduce me to their Pilsner, and Wit. Honestly, two styles I hardly ever drink, because most of the time these styles can hold their weight to other bigger beers, but not in this case. Will was right to brag about how good they were, he was right on point!

With Tennyson in full «blowing up» mode I’m glad to see another brewery to the area. There are plenty of places to eat but another place to drink is always a plus. I was pretty happy with the beers that I’ve tasted as well. There are plenty of choices, even a sour and some barrel aged stouts. Not too shabby for a newer brewery.
The vibe is pretty laid back as well. It’s your typical CO brewery scene with a food truck out front and lots of community seating. One thing I did really like was the bar itself. It’s more formal and something you’d see in a $$$ restaurant. Nice touch to class up the place!
CTA still has that new brewery smell without the new brewery taste, well done.

We only stopped into CTA for a quick end of the night beer right before they closed, so I definitely need to go back and try them again to provide a full review. My taste profile is more in the Belgian wheat or Wits, so I had one of their lighter offerings. The staff was really great and at least guided me to the options that I would enjoy. So when in doubt, ask for a quick taste or a recommendation.
Their location does have the benefit of a small parking lot, but it does fill up fast. There is plenty of street parking in the general area, so that’s a bonus as well.
I plan on going back again so I can beef up my review with a longer experience, but I do think you should give them a try.

Really dig hanging out and grabbing a beer at this joint. Went right went it opened up, so it was pretty packed. Sometimes it’s a tight squeeze at the bar.
Tried 3 of their beers and each one was pretty good. Also like the taco truck that chills outside of there. Staff is good as well. Definitely a dope little brewpub worth checking out

Ok, so most people by this point are saying, ‘really, another brewery? ’
And to them I say yes, its better than another liquor store or dispensary, even though they’re both great.
With breweries its a lot like restaurants, as long as there’s variety you can never have too many.
Call to arms is tucked away between the fire station and local 46, it’s in the back of what will become a multi use site with a café of sorts occupying the front when finished.
They specialize in older or out of fashion German Styles with the ever present IPAs of course.
I had several of the beers, all were very good including the just tapped lobsterback IPA.
They have a nice upscale atmosphere with the dark wood, large bar and tap system but it’s not stuffy.
I expect good things to come from this neighborhood brew house

Call to arms is a new brew pub in a fun area in Denver. The place has great light, space, energy, people, and naturally beer. Right now they don’t have food and I’m looking forward to that in the future. But for now the spot is pretty darn fun.
The place is a remodeled garage with Huge open bay garage doors that are glass for natural light and breezes.
They create some unique and delicious beers that are all worth trying. Some were not my style but the beauty is that no matter what your taste you can find the right one. The staff is great and willing to share what they know to help you find a beer you enjoy.
Great new spot!

New brewery. Super new. As in a matter of a couple months I understand. Well, well done!
We came here with our trusty drinking friends for their –ahem– second excursion here that Sunday. It sits just below the parking lot so it’s got almost a garden level feel to it. Jess and I took to the bar and began to order. They boasted I believe 8 – 10 beers, including 2 different IPAs, an excellent oatmeal stout (although I didn’t feel the chocolate and cherry came out the right way the base flavor was perfect), and a few other creations that get an «A» for creativity even though I wasn’t a fan of them myself.
They make great beers with good rounded tastes, the girls were very friendly, and the bar is spacious. I love Call to Arms and I can’t wait to come back!
Cheers!

I usually avoid new breweries while they work out their beer and service kinks, but decided to take a chance on Call to Arms. They hit a Grand Slam on day #2 in business! They have 8 beers on tap, but I only had two:
* Amigos Borrachos — Vienna Lager — perfect for a hot day!
* Oats & Hose — Oatmeal Porter — beautiful Porter with cherry, coffee, and chocolate — it’s big on taste, but light enough to enjoy year-​round
All the names of the beers are equally creative. I loved that the prices were competitive enough for the 10 and 16 oz. pours that I could drink here daily if Iived in the neighborhood.
The décor was English pub, but the with lots of light from all the windows. You can tell that they put a lot of attention to even the smallest detail! It definitely creates the perfect Colorado brewery atmosphere!
Jesse, one of three owners, gave me a warm greeting and we talked beer before I went with the Amigos Borrachos. He was friendly and personable. Lindsey was also behind the bar. She was knowledgeable not only about Call to Arms beers, but the craft brewery industry in general.

We have a winner!

Great service. Delicious beers. Wonderful atmosphere.
Our waitress took our orders at our table and delivered our beers with a smile.
It was a great 4.5 hour drinking/​eating (I brought our sandwiches that I made at home.) experience
