Empower Field's food scene showcases Colorado's culinary identity, green chile everything, bison, and craft beer. Denver's status as the craft beer capital of America is reflected in the stadium's extensive local beer selection featuring New Belgium, Odell, Great Divide, and of course Coors (brewed in nearby Golden, CO). Outside the stadium, the LoDo neighborhood and Larimer Square offer world-class dining within a short ride.
