Equinox Brewing Company

 

Cozy brew-pub setup that leans into the typical brewpub styling of the late 90's, early 00's. That is to say hardwood flooring, hardwood booths, and exposed brick. It's comfortable and cozy without following the current typical meta of brewery setups. The big appeal, vibe wise, is the back patio, which is enclosed on three sides by the building, and the fourth side by a large iron gate. The area above the patio has the 2x6 (or whatever) lumber. Vines and greenery grow around the patio in a mix of garden beds and along the 'roof' lattice structure, offering a quiet patio just off the heart of downtown Fort Collins. Selection seemed pretty run of the mill.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Packed on a Wednesday evening during dinner time-- despite very limited food selection.

Consistently good taste across the range of beers.

Good service and advice from the bartenders.

Very broad selection: 21 beers across categories that included specialty, nitro (beer engine), and their regular draft varieties

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is one of the coolest little breweries in fort collins. its got a very earthy hippy organic vibe to it, like it would belong better in boulder or something, but the space is great, semi divided into different rooms, comfortable furniture and an oddly shaped but ideally placed bar. plenty of beers on to choose from, all with creative names and recipes to match. the belgian wit on cask was awesome, they had a delicious barrel aged porter, as well as a couple of belgian styles that hit their marks. the staff was real friendly and also fit the hippy organic vibe pretty well. they informed me this place has been open almost five years, looks like they are off and running really well in that time, with a few gabf medals adorning the walls. i liked the wide range of styles and the cozy atmosphere of the building. this is definitely a place to stop into when in downtown fort collins, its close to everything and very interesting compared to other local breweries. they have carved out a cool little identity for themselves, and the beers were great.

Another very good brewery in Fort Collins. I've been there several times. Earlier in the days and evenings it is suitable for families. Later at night it gets packed. They have outdoor seating.
Beers are all good. Service has generally been fine. They have some cool swag to buy as well.
