Launch Pad Brewery — Restaurant in Aurora

I popped into this place to try it out since I was in the neighborhood and never heard of it before driving by. It's a shame the ambience of the place isn't very welcoming because the beers I tried were good. The space themed decor is awesome but there are a lot of other pieces of decor that were shocking to see and didn't connote a "everyone is welcome" vibe. The place is certainly targeted towards a certain demographic and not anyone else. I didn't feel comfortable in the place and I think the beertenders could tell because they weren't the friendliest. They didn't seem interested in engaging with me, I just picked tasters that sounded good and got out of there. The Sunrise Tangerine Ale was very good and the Strawberry Moon is yummy as well. Again, the beer is good and tasty, the environment will have you crawling out of your skin. No matter how good the beer is, it's not worth the discomfort of sitting in that place and dealing with...

Today: Ssn-IPA 4.4ABV pretty good, slight hop nose with a decent bitter no malt finish 16oz (good but nothing special) ; Juicy-IPA 6.2abv pretty good, slight hop nose with a decent 'juicy' hop finish 16oz (good but totally missing the floral element) ; (menu and interior are greatly expanded from 2017, upgrade from below average to average) Feb2017 - P-Pale Ale 5.9abv pretty good a bit lite well balanced not too much of anything 16oz ; SH-IPA 5.9abv good, min hop (no IPA left here a waste of time) 16oz ; Belg-IPA 5.8abv 11oz serving only, you can keep it (i don't know why I bother coming here I'm repeatedly disappointed) good WiFi ; dog friendly ; hard to spot from the street, it's behind the gas station ; decent parking ; 3 TV's but only 'NASA' turned on ; serving sizes and prices are clearly listed ; 27 different items listed on the paper menu today (18 of which are HiABV/Belgo/adjunct malt beverages) ;...

The staff and verteran ownership is amazing! We have been coming here for years - and have even used this venue for our wedding, for just cause. The fact they allow good dogs here is refreshing! Lots of room, and you can either be close together or spread out depending on your mood - awesome place. But let's get to it - the beer - we have visited most of the breweries in Colorado, and hundreds of breweries out of state....this is by far our favorite, and not by a slim margin. The brewer is so in touch with the beer world, there is always something new, and no matter what - it's lways a great implementation and never, never, never an off flavor. Lots of awards, both local and national, but you will not see any of the pretension, they just want to create the best beer -and that's something to seek out. This is the place to go - you are in the area, you...
