A brewery that feels like instant community Maxline Brewing Company is exactly what you hope to find when exploring Fort Collins' beer scene. The brewery was packed when we visited, which created a lively and energetic atmosphere without feeling overwhelming. Even though it was loud due to the crowd, it added to the authentic brewery vibe ~ especially welcome when escaping the 80°+ heat outside. What truly stood out was the staff. Jamie, Mike, Joey, and Lauren were all fantastic, and Jaime in particular made the experience exceptional. Their hospitality made me feel less like just a customer and more like a regular. I even met a local named Elias who reinforced how welcoming the community is here. Favorites of the visit: Liquid Disco Hazy IPA (7.5%) ~ soft haze, juicy hops, smooth finish that sneaks up on you. Maximum Porpoise Barrel~Aged Sour (6.5%) ~ layered acidity, barrel character, and pure craft creativity. This is why Fort Collins stays elite in the beer world. Great beer brought me in ~ the people will bring me & more friends back. Highly recommended for anyone visiting or living in Fort Collins. Great beer is everywhere in Colorado, but great people are what make a brewery memorable! I''ll definitely be back read more

Another good experience at Maxline! We popped in for a brew while visiting Fort Collins for the day. We had our puppy with us and knew this was the dog friendly place to be. I had Pat's Porter on nitro. I never pass up the chance to enjoy a dark beer on nitro. My husband enjoyed the west coast IPA. Our daughter chose the TCH Cherry Limeade Seltzer. After picking up our beverages we headed into to find a table. Though they have ample seating in their patio area, we had opted for inside as it was a bit chilly and breezy. Half of the tables were reserved for an event, but we were still able to find space at one of the communal tables. We enjoyed our brews and continue to acclimate our little pup to visiting breweries. read more

Very nice brewery! Dog friendly also. I had a couple of the Liquid Disco V.3 Hazy IPA. May be one of my favorite Hazy's that I've ever had. Very clean facility and the staff was very personable and professional. read more

Like Maxline a lot--good beers, friendly staff, plenty of seating inside and out. Unfortunately at times there are so many dogs inside it's hard to avoid stepping on them. There are even dogs on the bar (not just AT the bar, ON the bar). Seems unhygienic, but I'm not a dog person. read more

I love Maxline My only problem is the people who bring there dogs in to lay on the bar. We were in there today and 3 people had there dogs laying on the bar. Just don't think that cool!! I think managers should not allow that. read more

The patio was shady and super dog friendly. The bartender was very friendly and patient. He helped me find a beer I'd like. The ones I picked were tasty. Definitely glad we were finally able to try here read more

Good selection of beers. Not just alot of high hopped beers, which seem to be the direction most breweries are taking, even in fall and winter! Ick Also like the space provided to sit, both indoor and out. Appreciate the owners friendliness and recocognition when I stop... I'd love to go more often, but sadly beer prices, every where, have made it necessary to slow to about a stop my brewery days. read more

The beer was incredible. I had to bring my mom to some appointments and decided to pitstop here for a quick drink before picking her up. Loved the beer, i stayed for two! The pups that came along were so sweet and they were welcoming of the food i brought in and friendly. I like the industrial/woodworked feel of the space and the availability of games. After my mom was done with medical appointments she said she wanted a beer so i towed her here so i could have one more taster. They had cute merchandise and even some for the puppos if i recall correctly , and i have recommended this joint highly to friends who live locally. read more

I would have given this place 5 stars except they allowed dogs to sit on top of the table. There was a food truck outside but it was gross to think of eating on the tables where dogs had been. Unfortunately we won't go back. Yuck. read more

We checked out this Brewery from a local referral. So glad we did! The beers here are top notch, I had the wit beer, the hazy IPA the mango strawberry sour, and the Norse pils. Every one of them was excellent. Staff was especially friendly especially Rachel. We happen to make it on the night that the taco man truck was out in the parking lot, some of the best tacos I've ever had in my life. If, and when, we move here this will definitely be a place we regularly visit. read more

I decided to steer away from the crowds in Old Town on St. Patty's Day. Settled on Maxline Brewing in Midtown. Reasonable crowd size and easy to order beers at the counter. Great beer selection. Can't wait to go back when it warms up and they open the garage doors. Love this place. read more

I had a great experience, the Mexican lager was so good the lime sprinkle packets were a great touch. We also tried the lemon limeade and that wasn't my favorite flavor choice, just fyi but I respect what you were going for! read more

Was up in FoCo for the weekend and ended up going here twice. Once was Friday afternoon and again Saturday night. First of all they are dog friendly which is always a plus. Their patio is very big. A lot of tables which are all community style so make anew friend. Good selection of beer. We had a couple of flights but my favorite was the Imperial Hefe. Bartenders were all very friendly and attentive. Friday afternoon wasn't that busy. So we were able to just relax with the dog. We saw on the poster that they were having a comedy show Saturday night so we decided to come back then. A lot of people but the show was great! Again greats beers. Fun atmosphere. Will def be back! Cheers! read more

In a town full of great beer, I always find myself coming back to Maxline. Good variety of beer, friendly beertenders, and always something fun going on. From bingo to trivia to live music, Maxline is always an enjoyable environment. Glad I found this place, and always recommend it to people checking out breweries around Fort Collins. The Peach Mango Pale Ale is my favorite, but it's tough to go wrong here. Cheers! read more

A good place to gather and enjoy some good beer. They have games and cards for your enjoyment. Nice seating area for large groups. The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

The patio was lovely, as was the service! I really appreciated everything the staff was doing to keep everyone safe. The raspberry basil saison was interesting- sweet but the basil gave it a good balance. The Irish red was good too! I would recommend them as an excellent brewery. read more

Great vibe! Nice comfortable patio to enjoy some very good beer! Friendly and welcoming staff enhance the experience!

Great space indoor and outdoor. Love the live music on Thursdays and Sundays. Place was hopping this Sunday afternoon in June.

Fantastic brewery. I always enjoy their beers and appreciate that they have a variety of beers on tap--including dark beers. They're in a great location in midtown, and I often pick up crowlers on the way home. Friendly service. Good ambiance with a nice outdoor seating area. Clean and dog-friendly. read more

Not a huge variety of brews, but very flavorful and aromatic. Loud inside, but a large outdoor seating area. read more

Nice little brewery! I have been to Maxline a few times now and I have always enjoyed my experience. I have enjoyed the beer options and their selection has grown, along with the seating, over these first three years. I have enjoyed the Irish Red ale and their IPA options when I am there. It is hard to say that any of the beers stand out in my mind as a favorite, but it's pretty solid work. That being said, I have a couple friends who would say they have a favorite brew on tap here. I really enjoy the patio area and the expansion inside for additional seats since they first opened. The staff has always been rather friendly and helpful, allowing me to try a small taste of a beer before committing to a pint and that is much appreciated! On most of my visits there has been a food truck just outside with good food options to enjoy with my beer. I have recommended this spot to many people who are looking for a brewery to try, since many people do not know it is here. This might be because the location is not well advertised. It is on McClelland, which is not a street many people use who are not locals. There doesn't seem to be anything that really draws your eye to the spot when driving by either and I feel like that could use some work. I will continue to come to this brewery because I enjoy good beer and I like the neighborhood feel of the place. I feel like is what is going to make all the difference in these next few years with all of the new beer options. Keep up the good work and I will certainly update my review when that standout beer comes along for me. read more

Have you ever dreamed of opening up your own brewery? What your design would look like and what items you would incorporate from other breweries? Maxline seems to check all the boxes of things I would want. 1. Very pet friendly inside and out 2. Very clean 3. Very delicious 4. Plants inside and out. They even have Hop Vines growing out front 5. Corn-hole/game area 6. Crowlers and growlers 7. Water station and doggy treat station 8. Outdoor patio as big as the inside seating 9. Snackies 10. Quality merchandise 11. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff 12. Luxuriously wide parking spots I don't have any cons. I was glad to visit here within a month of opening because the future will be bright for this brewery and they will become very busy. Fort Collins is lucky to have you, Maxline. read more

Maxline is a great hang out spot, maybe one of the best hangouts as far as breweries in the area. Really cool bartenders that make you want to stay a while combined with great seating makes it so you never want to leave. When we visited they were renovating and I can't wait to come back and see the final result. read more

I've been wanting to try Maxline for a long time and finally got to yesterday! Maxline is definitely a new favorite and I wish I had tried it out sooner. The staff is very friendly, the patio is a decent size, and the beer is GREAT! The Imperial Hef was one of the best Hefs that I've had. Also, I really like raspberries, and I love basil, but I was hesitant to try the Raspberry Basil Saison, however it was surprisingly delicious. I can't wait to go back for more. read more

Went to grab some brews with my wife at Maxline yesterday. Service was just fine, and $6 beers. The reason for this shitty review is this. While we were there, a female customer who was sitting at the bar for the whole time we were there (2 hours) had her small dog sitting on the bar counter the whole time as well. The bar counter where people sit at, and the bartenders serve the beer on. THE DOG WAS ON THE BAR COUNTER FOR TWO HOURS!!! There was even some sort of notice where you pay on the bar counter, that 'no dogs are aloud on the bar'. I just figured it out, she must be the owner... read more

Best beer in town with the kindest, most charismatic staff. Amazing atmosphere. Lovely brewery for dogs!! And usually a great food truck.

A brewery with a heart. Philanthropy all the way. They give back. Polar plunge event for the Special Olympics was great! They have great beer a not too many too select from, a good thing. The owners are great! read more

Casey was a great! So helpful and kind. Plus their red ale is amazing! We were there for a private event and they made everything effortless. read more

Great place to not just drink some tasty craft beer, but also to hang out with friends, play some bingo, eat some food truck food, and get to know new people from FoCo! There are always a lot of interesting and tasty beer options, or if that isn't your thing they have Kombucha as well! read more

This is one of my all time favorite places to visit while in CO. Thanks for being such an awesome crew! You guys make it so fun!!! Especially grateful for your precautions to be safe during this pandemic. Much love & positive vibes your way. Cheers & Beers!! read more

Great lineup, especially for a brand new brewery - 10 beers plus kombucha. Super dog friendly, a few small snacks on site (but not made here) - that pretzel is ridiculously good. Standout brews: American pale ale, Irish red, & Imperial Brown Hot damn Maxline, hot Damn read more

I love this place! The staff are always considerate and polite. The vibes are ALWAYS comfortable. The beers are fantastic and even with COVID-19 it feels safe. Thanks to the staff and beertenders for always bringing their A game and for being on top of it EVERY time. Wahooooo! read more

Lots of people seem to like this place but out of the newer Fort Collins breweries that have opened since my last visit I thought it was just fair. I guess it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. Maxline Brewing is on the south side of the Thunderbird Plaza. Truth be told this old plaza needed a business that would bring in more people... more potential customers for what businesses are still left here and a brewery is really a great way to go to make that happen! The service was good, no doubt about that. It was prompt and friendly... it's just that I usually like beers with more of an experimental streak to them. Reading some of the other reviews from other Yelpers it looks like there is a potential for such a streak here. One Yelper reported that she had a great raspberry basil saison here and that definitely seems creative enough so perhaps it was just the timing of when I was here and what was on tap at the time. I had the Woodchip Coffee Porter which I thought was decent but it didn't quite have the complexity I was hoping. Steve had a wit beer and was not too impressed by it and said that he liked the Woodchip better. All in all it wasn't a bad experience here. Maxline is a good place to relax... I just wished that the beer was more memorable and maybe it will be with more time or maybe it involved timing of what was on tap then which means a return trip would be in order. read more

We absolutely loved the atmosphere here in the evening. They have huge garage doors that were open onto a tented patio. It is a great neighborhood place to gather with friends and their dogs. We tried the IPA and Oktoberfest and enjoyed both. They were hosting a waffle and beer dinner on the night we stopped in. read more

Loved the beer selection. Had the coffee stout it was very good! Another plus was how dog friendly it is! We were able to bring ng our pup while we enjoyed live music and a beer! Def will be back read more

Real folks trying very hard to create good beer and great community. Give them a try and you will be rewarded. If you like to have fun and are other directed, you will be happy. If you are a self entitled creep who demands that others serve your needs, please just go away. Dogs are welcome in this place, but if your dog is untrained just like you, please go away. Peace!!! read more
