The Shambles Tavern — Restaurant in Denver

Awesome Beer! I was a little down, I had been on a run of trying bad breweries. There are just so many places slinging beer these days that its easy to waste your time on weak, amateur home-brew quality crap that folks are trying to pass off as beer. Mockery is definitely not one of those places! The beers are incredible, well balanced, and full of flavor. The brown ale sour, aged with cocoa and cherries was amazing, full of unique flavor. The Hop-Blooded Triple IPA is another huge success. I was skeptical at first. There are a lot of big IPAs that are hoppy for the sake of hops but this beer is so well balanced with a wonderful flavor profile that you just need to try for yourself. I could go on and on, but really you can't go wrong with any beer from this place. Some of the best beer outside of Vermont! (and I'm not referring to Heady Topper, the Hop-Blooded is a...

It seems like it would be intimidating to be a brewery literally in the shadow of Denver's beer giant, and next door to its famous hipster friend. But Mockery pulls it off with ease!

Their beers are outstanding, and they don't settle for your standard set of American styles like so many Denver breweries do these days. And even then they do make an IPA or a porter, it's not going to be like any one you've tried before.

Smoked double IPA? Yep. Oaked black pale ale? Check. Cocoa coconut porter? Mmhmm. Boysenberry wheat wine? Delicious. But best of all, a salted Scotch ale. Seriously, that thing...

Refused to take the 2025 Denver Pub Pass and provided very rude and poor customer service after asking if they accepted it. Instead of trying to provide solutions, we were greeted with, "oh, no, we won't be accepting that. We don't do beer." immediately, instead of trying to provide other solutions and with a beer menu of 20+ beers. Interesting. You've officially lost any potential for business from us and others we've encountered this exact same situation and experience with the pub pass. It would've been fine if the customer service was different or even if they could've provided a different solution despite not "accepting" the pub pass anymore, the poor & rude customer service completely turned me off from ever supporting this business. If I could've left no stars or negative stars,...
