Is your Tasting Room open to the public?

Can we sample spirits, buy bottles, and merchandise?
During our open hours, you may purchase spirits and merchandise, and sample up to five different spirits for $5.00 per person. With every samples flight purchase $5.00 will be deducted from any purchase of bottles.
Do you give distillery tours to the public?
Yes. We currently offer public tours/tastings on Saturdays. We do accept walk-ins, but highly recommend making reservations under the "Visit us" tab as space is limited. The tour is $20 per person and offers complementary samples our spirit portfolio as well as 10% off of all 750ml bottles and merchandise with the exception of specialty bottlings. We ask that you arrive fifteen (15) minutes before your tour time with closed toed shoes and plenty of questions!
Why do you charge for public tours?
Colorado state law dictates that we can offer no more than four samples of our spirits free of charge. As we make 20+ different spirits, we hope to provide you with a full, rich experience the first time you visit us. In keeping with our longstanding commitment to support our local community, we donate the net proceeds from tours to the following local, non-profit organizations: Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation, Colorado Symphony, Project Angel Heart, and Outdoor Lab Foundation.
Can you accommodate walk-in, or impromptu tours?
If spots are still available on one of our tours, we would be happy to have you join our tour. Otherwise we cannot accommodate walk-in or impromptu tours.
What do we do on the tour? Do we get to help with bottling spirits, or anything like that?
Tours begin in our tasting room with a brief introduction to the company's history. We'll then take you through the production area to see the steps of malting, mashing, fermentation, distillation, and packaging. We'll be offering a few samples of our spirits during this time. We'll return to the tasting room to try more samples. Currently our insurance policies do not permit anyone other than Leopold Bros. personnel to bottle spirits and assist with production.
Is there anything I need to bring when I visit the distillery?
Please bring a valid photo I.D. as all guests must be age 21+. If you are coming in for a tour, please wear closed-toe shoes as we will be spending time on the production floor. Jackets and coats are not required, but please keep in mind that the distillery can be 65-80 degrees inside depending the time of year.
Will I be able to purchase Leopold Bros. spirits at the distillery?
Yes. In addition to our spirits, we also offer an assortment of merchandise including cocktail bar tools, glassware, t-shirts, and more.
Is there a bar at that distillery that will serve cocktails when I come in for my tour? Can I buy a drink if I walk in during public hours?
Yes. We serve a limited menu of specialty cocktails at our tasting room.
Do you offer food?
At this time we do not offer food. We recommend eating before you visit the distillery. You can bring your own snacks if you wish, but we cannot heat or refrigerate your items as we do not have kitchen facilities.
Do you offer a shuttle service or other transportation?
No. Please plan for responsible transportation to and from the distillery, with the knowledge you will be consuming multiple samples of high proof spirits.
What are your smoking, vaporizer and cannabis policies?
For safety purposes, smoking or vaporizing of any kind is prohibited.
Can I bring my teenager, baby, or child on the tour?
No. We require that all visitors to the distillery are age 21+.
