Brewery Profile

Living The Dream Brewing

In Highlands Ranch’s Denver-area beer landscape, Living The Dream Brewing serves as a taproom-centered stop rather than a destination built around a fixed flagship narrative. The Highlands Ranch site is the original location, and a second taproom operates in Littleton’s Sterling Ranch. A visitor walking in should expect a rotating draft list that may include ales, lagers, and seltzers, with the current board doing the work of explaining what is available that day. The brewery’s stated outlook draws on independence and craftsmanship, including a Henry David Thoreau quote used to frame its commitment to quality. In practice, the visit is built around choosing from the day’s pours and settling into indoor seating or the patio.

Travelers in this part of Colorado often plan brewery stops around movement between neighborhoods, foothill access, concerts, and other Denver-area outings. Living The Dream Brewing fits that pattern because both taprooms are positioned near major regional routes, including C-470 and US-85, which can make them practical stops before or after time elsewhere in the southwest metro area. The selection is not limited to one lane of beer; ales, lagers, and seltzers give mixed groups a broader range than a taproom focused on a single style family. For visitors heading toward venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the brewery can be part of a wider day’s itinerary without requiring a downtown detour.

Practical details differ by location, so it is worth noting which taproom you plan to visit. At the Highlands Ranch facility, pets are permitted indoors and on the patio, making it the more flexible of the two for visitors traveling with a dog. At the Sterling Ranch location, pets are restricted to the outdoor patio area. Both sites offer indoor and patio seating, and both use a rotating selection, so the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours rather than relying on any assumed regular lineup. For a first-time visitor, the simplest approach is to check which location best matches the rest of the day’s route, then use the draft board and seating options to shape the stop.

Living The Dream Brewing operates under a philosophy inspired by independence and craftsmanship, referencing a commitment to quality symbolized by a Henry David Thoreau quote. The brewery maintains two separate taproom locations in Colorado: the original site in Highlands Ranch and a second location in Littleton's Sterling Ranch. Both facilities offer a rotating selection of ales, lagers, and seltzers, along with ample indoor and patio seating for patrons. The Highlands Ranch facility permits pets indoors and on the patio, while the Sterling Ranch location restricts pets to the outdoor patio area. Both taprooms are positioned near major regional thoroughfares, C-470 and US-85, providing access to Denver-area venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
