Wood-fired pizza, beer brewed on site by head brewer Denver Weise, in-house spirits, live music four nights a week, and the connected Distillery next door. Family-friendly, multi-space, and one of Cloudcroft's most consistently active evening rooms.
The brewery-with-food anchor of Burro Avenue — wood-fired pizza, beer brewed on site by Denver Weise, in-house spirits, and live music four nights a week, all under one family-friendly roof with the Distillery next door.
"A wood-fired pizza with a beer flight. The pizza is consistently good per local input, and a flight is the only honest way to learn five rotating taps."
Pizza + beer flight
"The Soup du Jour. Local input flags the soups specifically — the lowest-cost way to verify the food program's voice."
Soup du Jour
"Tacos and chips with guacamole, paired with a Mountain Smoke or Skywater pour. The new menu additions plus the in-house spirits — the brewery's current direction in one order."

What this room handles well, and when to aim somewhere else.
Taproom, food, the connected Distillery feel, and outdoor-space hints — Cloudcroft Brewing as the multi-space brewery-with-food it is.
Mon/Wed/Thu/Sun 11 AM – 9 PM; Fri/Sat 11 AM – 10 PM with the kitchen closing at 9 PM (bar stays open the extra hour). Closed Tuesdays. Closed Thanksgiving and Christmas Day; Christmas Eve runs 11 AM – 4 PM.
Plan a Friday or Saturday food order before 9 PM. The bar pours after that, but the kitchen is done.

The official FAQ confirms family-friendly during all operating hours. Service animals are allowed inside, but there is no dog patio — pet owners hoping for a casual dog-friendly room should plan elsewhere.
Multiple indoor and outdoor spaces with tables and benches, easy to find seating that suits your group (April 2026 local input).
Parking is straightforward roadside on Burro; specific overflow guidance on event nights isn't documented. Card and cash standard. Merchandise is sold in-house only — no online merch.
The Distillery operates next door as a connected but separate space (April 2026 local input). The brewery's spirits — Mountain Smoke Whiskey, Skywater Vodka, Mountaintop Gin — are pour-and-bottle on the brewery side; ask at the counter about the Distillery's specific cocktail program and hours.
"Cloudcroft Brewing earns the visit because the pizza is real, the beer is brewed in the building by Denver Weise, the spirits are made next door, and the music actually shows up four nights a week. April 2026 added tacos, guac, and desserts — the menu is widening. Build a Friday around it and stay through the music; the kitchen will close at 9 but you'll still want one more pour."
