i have been meaning to check these guys out for awhile. i think they have a less stellar reputation than they should have, mostly because the beer that makes it to bottles i dont think is a representation of their best work. the specialty kegs and certainly some of the taproom exclusives are just great, so it was awesome to finally make it in. in a huge facility, recently renovated from what i understand. its brightly colored, its clean, its new feeling, its large for sure, patio, long bar, dining area, private event space, comfortable. the bartender was a bit odd, seemingly overwhelmed by a quiet bar, flustered, but friendly. they had a ton of beers on, several of which i had never seen or heard of before, great selection. i think the recent rebranding was a smart move for them. the beer was great, i liked the scarlett brett a lot, and the mexican chocolate cake stout was solid as well. it looks like they are doing a little more inventive stuff now than they have in the past and that will serve them well in the very savvy fort collins beer market. i had a great time here, and the food i had was killer too. i think its a matter of time before these guys are back on the map with the beer nerds. worth revisiting if its been awhile for you...

I didnt attend the restaurant, I instead went to the tap room to await the tour, there was a small bar with several bar tenders pouring beers, i strongly reccomend their Hoptastic the best beer i have had from them yet. The staff was knowledgable, when I was asking questions throughout the tour they were answered when i asked what kind of hops were in the Hoptastic they were able to answer me. Until i went to the brewary itself i had never been a huge fan, but now i cant wait to go back.

Cool brewery and taproom with some really nice beers. If it weren't in Fort Collins, it would probably seem more special. I like their beers much better than New Belgium, but it's tough to compete with Odell.

This is a very large facility. Big open areas with long tables. I like their system for samplers. I enjoyed trying quite a few beers that they do not bottle. I think they may be better than most of their bottled beers. The food was pretty tasty, too.

Beer was quite tasty. An administrator lady squared me away on the differences between two of the bottled beers sold up front, allowing me to make an intelligent choice (malt monster's Belgian style dubbel).

Bar staff was out of control and not especially helpful. My bartender was so involved with his conversation with the people at the end of the bar I couldn't get any help for at least 10 minutes, despite my empty glass being at the edge of the bar, ready for refilling. One dude tried to make up for the other's inattentiveness by actually completing my transaction (he did a pretty good job too). So overall not bad on the service, but it's more of a wash of extremes...

The session beer alone was worth the stop. Cheers for that one! Having a bottled stout now, not as impressed with that one, but overall the beer is pretty good.

Beautiful location and setting, minutes away from awesome parks and beautiful old town. I was there on a nice sunny 80 degree day and sat out on the patio.

The servers were very attentive and I received all of my beers immediately and a very reasonable wait for what turned out to be amazing food. My wife and I both enjoyed sandwiches that were made on some excellent very fresh different style foccia. The meat, the sauce the everything was spot on. The quality of every item showed through.

The beers were good and had the taste of very fresh hops. I'm not saying they're the best beers you will find in the area but they were very good and when you add in the great food and nice location I can't imagine why they aren't rated higher.

Good Prices, Good Beer, Great Service, Amazing Food, Go if you get the chance.
