Horse & Dragon Brewing Company

 

Great flavors

 

 

 

They have a nice outside section and get pretty busy. Large inside space.

 

 

 

 

Another nice stop during my recent Fort Collins trip.

About half way between Odells and Funkwerks, so this was an easy stop.

Warehouse location, pretty decent size, standard layout with tasting area up front, large brew area towards the back. Pleasant enough place, but nothing special.

Quality was like the vibe, good enough, but not anything special. I had an IPA and a Kolsch and they were both enjoyable, but kind of forgettable. They did have a pretty nice selection though, but most everything was standard beer styles, nothing really adventurous.

Service was fine, the girl that helped was friendly, and fairly speedy. All I usually ask for...

Overall? Not really a destination for me, but a nice enough place that is easy to check out since it's close to other places.

i have been meaning to check this place out for awhile now, glad i finally had the chance this weekend. its a cozy place, inviting, home-like, sort of feminine in a way, not like pinks and teals and stuff, but just with a certain touch to it, elegant and simple, clean and tidy, interesting still, neat layout with a small bar, a large tasting room with a lot of cool reclaimed and repurposed stuff, and then a little outside area as well. they were a little limited on selection, but there were all the staples and a few new ones on tap. i loved the nitro session ipa, belma i think they called it, and the brown ale was quite good as well. their sad panda is also one of my favorite coffee beers in the state. i wished for a few more one offs and oddities, but the beer they have here is all very good. the service was awesome, super friendly girl, cant remember her name, was happy to share stories of the place, the beers, and even show us around the gorgeous brew house in the back, also immaculately clean. great vibes in here overall, everyone super friendly and chatty, a cozy space to spend a few hours with some really awesome beers. one of my new favorite spots in fort follins actually. well worth a visit!

 

 

 

Vibe: Very cool. A bit rustic, with a nice open space and windows. It helped the beer induced conversations flow fluently and without worry of becoming too boisterous. The natural light is a wonderful change from most dark room tap rooms. As with most tap rooms at a brewery, there were massive windows to see the brewery in action.

Quality: Great quality overall.

Service: Great! The bartender was very pleasant and helped me decide on a beer to try (Sad Panda). Very pleased.

Selection: The selection was very good. About ten to twelve various beers on tap to my memory.

Cool alternative to the nearby 'larger' breweries

 

A good place to check out. It's off the beaten path somewhat, but thats ok sometimes.
They don't do plastic or tabs, so be prepared.

The taproom is different than some taprooms I've been to, and thats ok as well. Selection was good, and service was fine.
No food, or at least there wasn't when I was there.

I'd check out this place if you have not been. It's a good addition to FC

 

Stopped in for a couple drinks. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Loved the Rum Barrel Aged Coconut Porter.

 

 

 

 

 

This place is awesome! This little gem is off the beaten path a bit but, it's worth tracking down. Friendly staff and good atmosphere you will be pleased with whatever beer you choose.

 

 

 

 

Cozy and personal but never seen it overcrowded or dead. Space outside and inside. Convenient bike rack.

I love the ethos of the H&D operation. My favorite, so far, of the many wonderful north-front-range breweries. Sad Panda and Fire Captain each made my taste buds sing, "YES!"

Nestled away a little bit in an industrial area, but pretty darn obvious once you find it. Decor is lots of cool wooden furniture and a real nic3e bar with a big dragon on it.

Service was cool and atmosphere was chilled out. I think several of these places have had bartenders who choose the music themselves, which is a good thing (IMO). Most seem to have pandora, which is always good.

Beer quality was real nice, especially the Fire Captain Red on Nitro (a buck a glass to the fire department, who use it charitably).

You should visit this place when in fort collins.

 

 

Great relaxed atmosphere that's a nice change of pace from New Belgium or Odell. It's very much off the beaten path and rarely has crowds as a result. The beer is excellent with some really creative takes on American classics. Particularly nice are the two IPA's and very drinkable stout.

 

Nice addition to the Ft. Collins scene. Decent size taproom with an open floor plan. Plenty of sunlight when I visited. Wood furniture gave everything a cabin feel. Very nice staff! Super helpful and willing to talk about the beers. Too bad they don't accept tips. I did a taster flight and each beer was solid. The pale ale and coffee beer were the highlights. There is a patio that's not much to look at. Slab of concrete with some tables. The brewery is in an industrial area but I believe they have the building to themselves. I will be back during football.

A nice open room that offers tons of light, a woody/earthy presence, and relatively chill vibe. Small outdoor section that offers no views or anything but a means for drinking in the fresh air. Like it, just wish its location wasn't so far off the beaten path. About a mile and a half further northeast from Odell and Fort Collins Brewery for reference. For a new place, I was quite impressed with the quality of the beer offered. Enjoyed everything I tried. Service was fine, whether it was server knowledge or the brewery doing a good job training the staff what to say, the servers did an excellent job answering questions and describing their beer. Selection was nice with maybe 8 beers on tap from the get go. Didn't try the food. Priced very fairly
