Favorite brewery! Our perfect day: Hike Chief Mountain, play craps in blackhawk, grab a bite at Tommy Knockers, and hit up Indian Hot Springs for a soak and swim! Tommy knockers has great food! Their jalapeno poppers are awesome as well as the Californian Sandwich. Try the pumpkin beer when in season, that rim! The bar area is kid friendly and you get to sit in the brew room.
