Brewery Rickoli

Awesome beer– more choices then you can imagine. Everything is Gluten Removed– GF beer lovers unite! it’s not that crappy tasting stuff you normally get.

Wahoo! A gluten-​free brewery! Where do I begin?! It was about a week before I would be heading to Denver with my boyfriend (a beer lover — gluten or not) so we wanted to find breweries and places that had gluten-​free options for me. We found this brewery but it wasn’t clear which beers on their website were gluten free. Being the Social Media queen that I am, I decided to tweet them — who has time to make phone calls anymore?! Well, after about 12 hours with no response I just took it off the list and forgot about it. Fast forward to our last day in Denver, literally hours before we had to be at the airport and BOOM! My tweet was responded to! They said ‘Dude.they all are.’ Say what?! We were up at Red Rocks but immediately called a Lyft to take us there. Now, I haven’t had a beer flight in about 3 years since adopting a completely gluten-​free diet. I was in HEAVEN! I’ve always just drank Omission Pale and while I do love the flavor, it does get boring after awhile. All of these beers were filled with SO much flavor. I tried the IPA flight and just, wow.
My only recommendation — make it CLEAR on your website that you not only have ‘gluten free/​gluten reduced beers’ — make it CLEAR that they ALL are =)

LOVE LOVE LOVE… The award winning beer is amazing THANK YOU! for making a great beer for anyone, even me the Gluten challenged!
I’ve been frequenting Rickoli’s for a few years and can’t tell you how amazing the beer is. Think about riding a bike or take a lift… the beer is high in percentage!
Congratulations on bottling and distribution and Apple Jack !!

All the beers were super tasty, especially the imperial stout! Bartender was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Love that everything is gluten free with full flavor! We’ll definitely be back.

I almost feel ashamed for never writing a review for this brewery since I’ve been coming here since opening.
Time to correct this atrocity.
Rickolis is an awesome local nano brewery, although I think they’ve outgrown the nano title by now.
This is definitely a hop lovers dream, as they have several great high abv IPAs and an awesome barley wine called statik that hovers around 13% and 420 IBUs, yes you read that right; 420, believe it won hoppiest beer at GABF the other year and took silver this year.
But there is something for ever level beer drinker, basic Browns, blondes and porters round out a great menu.
The other plus is everything is certified gluten removed, with exception of the wheat varietals of course. But if I didn’t tell you, you would never know, this is the best gluten free beer I’ve ever drank and will probably ever.
They have some basic snacks to munch on, including baker st pretzels and calzones. They also have food trucks outside some nights and several places within walking distance to pick up.
Oh, and they also show most all Blackhawks Games on TV, as a Transplant Chicago southsider that’s heaven.
Keep up the good work and do yourself a favor and try the best kept micro secret in the western burbs

Cool place to grab a drink, and it’s dog friendly. Only snacks are available so don’t go hungry. Super friendly staff and a cool vibe to hang out for a bit.

This GABF Silver winner did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly and communicative verses other breweries, which tend to be too «cool» for customers service. I highly recommend the The Starik triple IPA. I dig this place and def plan on returning. Cheers!

Excellent selection of beers. Have never been disappointed here. If you are carb or gluten conscious this is the place for you. All beers are gluten removed. I’ve had some beers that were gluten free from other places. They pale in comparison to Rickoli’s. Their beers are very very good. You won’t be disappointed here. Bottoms up and throw back a pint or 5.

I’ve been meaning to check this place out for a while. I’m going to lead off with the beer because in this Colorado sea of craft breweries unfortunately it’s not always an awesome beer enjoying experience… but in Rickoli’s case, I am *very* happy I stumbled across this gem today!
Beers sampled:
Quicher Bichen strong golden ale
Hoppy red ale
Alt bier
Elke brown
Disturbed reflection DIPA
Each beer was great. Period.
Quaint little taproom, bit of a locals feel, super friendly staff & they are dog friendly. Score.
HIGHLY recommend checking them out.

I might have enjoyed it — accept for …
It’s a tiny room that is super tight and was packed to the rim, but they still had several HUGE dogs rooming around inside. Without any air circulation the dogs drove my allergies nuts — and they just were underfoot the whole time. So if you have any allergies at all, I would steer clear of this place as they don’t really seem to care. Personally I don’t think dogs want to be trapped inside with a bunch of beer drinkers — just doesn’t sound like dog fun!

Gluten free, refreshing and all the 5 tasters I had were smooth and great! Worth checking out and trying this smallest Colorado brewery if your in the neighborhood.

This place is pretty cool. My sister-​in-​law shot me a text stating: «take your brother here for his birthday. They’re gluten-​free.» Say what?! I’ve tried them twice at Unilocal events without knowing this. I suppose that’s a good thing, right? Can’t judge a book by their GF cover.
Overall, I’ve enjoyed sampling their beers, though some flavors eventually tasted the same. At Unilocal events I get to contrast between dissimilar beers, while sampling at their brewery, I can run the entire gamut if desired. Self-​described as a nano-​brewery, they have many beers. My favorite? Statik.
And my brother? If he moves here, he’ll return. No intolerance issues the next day.

I first tried Rickoli’s beers at a Unilocal event. Delicious! We definitely wanted to check them out. Later, we learned they were all gluten free. Whhhaaatt. Damn. I’m impressed. We brought our visiting GF friend to our first visit and he was extremely pleased by the taste and variety.
My favorite was the scotch ale, but I also enjoyed the IPAs and nearly all of the amber beers. The darks were rich and tasty but I wouldn’t be able to do a whole glass. I wasn’t a big fan of the cream or double cream.
The staff was really friendly and answered our many questions. Oh, and I suggest picking up some food to-​go and then settling in with it at Rickoli. They allow outside food.

Finally got back for a 2^nd visit, and was able to try more beer!
We ordered a couple flights equaling 9 tasters. We both enjoyed the beer a lot, can’t believe it’s gluten removed!
Our favorites were the Scotch Ale and the Totally Eye-​P-​A. They have a good number of beer on tap, offer water, free popcorn, and I saw «Ale — zones» being served while we were there. Those looked good, too. You can also bring your own food in!
Dog friendly indoors with spots to sit outside as well. There are a couple couches for seating along with plenty of tables and bar seating.
Can’t wait for our next visit!

I am all about gluten. I like it in my breads, my cookies and most especially, my beers. Gluten-​free will typically send me quickly in the opposite direction. So imagine my surprise when I realized how well a gluten reduced beer could taste? I actually visited Brewery Rickoli several times before I even noticed that their menu said their beers were low gluten. They have perfected making delicious brews in a variety of tasty styles, and they just happen to be low gluten.
The tasting room is cozy and comfortable, and the staff (mostly Rick and his family) are always super nice. They have snacks on hand or you can bring food in, and you’ll almost always find a new beer to try since they’re constantly mixing things up. I especially love all the variations they’ve done incorporating chilis into their beer. This is a flavor that can easily go wrong and overpower a beer, but Rickoli’s knows how to do it will. It keeps me coming back for more!

All of the beers are gluten removed here, so all you people who have or are faking gluten allergies, can drink beer at ease here. I really was not sure if I was missing something on the pallet, or just hallucinating I was. They have a varied selection of beer, with I would say around 10 + taps of all their stuff. Beers are arranged by style, and have fun names. I had the Eye P A, and I think Tim had the Athoriah. Both were very good. We will be going back after we check out some other joints.

I’m really liking what Rickoli’s doing. He’s got a wide variety of beers available, including a keg on cask if that’s your thing. All of the beers are very drinkable and he’s managed to make the brewery a welcoming environment. Every time I’ve gone there, there’s been a cool crowd with a variety of people.
I live on the south part of town, so Rickoli is a long haul for me, but I’ve found it to be worth the trip.

Meh. Meh. Meh.
While touring through Denver, this was on my boyfriend and I’s must try list-​as it is a brewery that caters to gluten intolerant folks. I wanted to like this place so badly… I haven’t had a good beer in forever. But some things just can’t be ignored.
Things I enjoyed:
–The food truck outside, the brussel sprouts and artichokes were great!
–The bartender, he was very friendly, approachable and attentive to needing refills. He even had a good sense of humor when we ordered water calling it «coors light». Appreciate his knowledge of each beer and how to pronounce them properly (the names of the beers are strange).
–They have Cards Against Humanity. Always a plus.
–They have growlers (two sizes) for purchase.
–Their selection of beer is pretty large and seems to rotate
–I got the Quit Your Bitchin’ and it was pretty good but I got two others that were extremely hoppy, not my cup of tea but I know that it just a preference thing since I love farm house style, whites and saisons. I will say that pretty much all the beers are either very hoppy or an IPA-​so if you’re not a fan of either of those, this place isn’t for you.
Things I found irritating:
–the hours posted are wrong. So we ended up in a ghost town for two hours waiting for them to open.
–the location is… unappealing. Looks like something out of 28 Weeks Later.
–the environment inside is strange, most people there looked like they had a permanent seat at the bar and, like in Cheers, everybody knows your name-​except us-​which makes it awkward for out of towners.
–people bring their kids here while they drink… they even have coloring books for children. Something I have literally never seen before at a bar because honestly-​who on earth wants to go to a bar that has screaming kids there? It would be one thing it this were a restaurant setting and they were getting dinner and drinks as a family outing, but this place literally only serves beer-​so wtf?
Anyways, if I were a Denver resident, I would probably not come back here. But it’s nice to know that people are trying to make gluten free beers for the general public.

Like the brewery; hate the bike ride. I had some free time last evening and wanted to try out a new place. When I realized Brewery Rickoli was only 2 miles from my house, I was stoked. «Just a quick ride up to Wadsworth and over a few blocks,» I thought to myself, in no way considering that biking up Wadsworth in rush hour is probably comparable to biking around the seventh circle of hell.
Also, when I got there, I wasn’t sure where to lock my bike. This would be my number one suggestion to them: bike racks! Usually I’ll make do and lock my bike up around the closest light post or sign but there was nothing close by. I found a metal fence at the end of the parking lot, but a guy getting into his car warned me not to lock it up there– apparently there’s a detox center and a liquor store right around the corner so they get a lot of unwelcome visitors. Eventually I just locked it to the roped off section of the brewery, but the ropes are attached with carabiners so they’re not exactly secure! Wasn’t the end of the world, but it definitely wouldn’t hurt to provide a bike rack either :)
I had tried a couple of Rickoli’s beer at the Unilocal In Living Color event and remembered really enjoying the Quicher Bichen so I decided to order one when I got to the brewery. It was even better than I remembered! Really tasty and easy to drink. I also had one of their IPAs, the Disturbed Reflection, which was nice and hoppy. I tried a sample of the Enormous Richard (ha!) cream ale but didn’t really enjoy it. That’s a personal preference though– I always think that I’m going to like cream ales (it just sounds so delicious) and always wind up slightly disappointed. I wanted to try more of their beers but had to go meet a friend so I didn’t get a chance. I will figure out a new bike route and head back here soon!

Over the long weekend, my buddy Colan and I stopped into Rickoli, his new favorite local brewery. Had I not been looking for it, I would’ve driven right past Rickoli’s little store front, situated on Wadsworth and 44^th.
While the store front appears small, Rickoli is kind of like the Tardis: bigger on the inside than the outside. With plenty of tables and ample room at the long bar, you’ll certianly be able to find a spot. Colan and I opted for the bar, since we were the first ones in on this particular day. The lady slinging brews was super friendly and patient as I perused the menu. I opted for 5 sampler flights from the standard menu. The big stand outs for me were the brown, the scotch ale, and the vanilla stout. The others were just so-​so.
While I enjoyed the beers here, nothing was so memorable that I’d make a specific trip out this way for. That being said, I would certainly poke my head back in here when I’m in the area to see how the beers are developing and what other creations Rickoli has come up with.
This is a great little brewery on this side of town with friendly service and a warm atmosphere. Definitely check them out!
