There is no better way to get to know a brewery and its beer than by ordering a flight. Typically, a flight consists of three to five ounces pours — or tasters — of any beer off the menu. Some breweries have set selections and others will let you order every beer off the menu always tempting. Prices will vary by style and brewery — so that got us thinking — where are the best beer flights in Denver?

There are more than 50 breweries in the Denver area, so how do you narrow it down to best beer flights? That’s where we come in. And while we didn’t try the flights at every brewery in the city (although we’re getting close) we have come up with our favorites thus far. Below is our list of 11 breweries we think offer the best flight value for your next brewery expedition.
