the inside of the brewery

Second time here. Solid beers. We popped in mid Friday afternoon before the weekend rush. I enjoyed at Savage Stout on nitro. I love the dark beers. This was an easy drinker at 4.3% ABV. My husband had The Wedge west coast IPA. Delicious. There is inside and outside seating. A food truck was setting up when we arrived. The staff is welcoming and made great recommendations.

Pain in the Spelt, a very refreshing and sessionable beer!

Salt Road Brewery was yet another Fort Collins brewery that I never visited before while on my last trip there. It's tucked in an alleyway which wasn't much of anything when I lived in Fort Collins but now small businesses are starting to emerge from it. I had two beers from this brewery and I can really appreciate their more unique slant with the beer types that they make here which makes it for intriguing beer tasting. The first beer I has was Pain in the Spelt. It's categorized as a more historical beer as it was a beer form that was popular at one time but not necessarily now. It was very good. I liked the herbal highlights to the flavor... I have a thing for herbal beers anyway. It also is malty and bready in flavor which is nice. Very sessionable as well... a kind of beer you can sip on all day long. The other beer I had was the Black Gold. It was a Dark Lager with flavor elements of coffee, bready, malty, roasty and toasty flavors. This was a very well made beer as well. Definitely enjoyable beers at Salt Road and on my last trip back some good breweries right in the heart of downtown Fort Collins that sprung up which makes it walkable to get to them and an overall improvement in getting good beer in a close sector of Fort Collins without constantly relying on your car.

Tucked away brewery just off the Main area of old town, down the alley. Absolute stunning ambiance and even better beer. I spoke with Scott the owner and head brewer, his passion for his work made my love for the brewery that much more. I was traveling by myself and Scott and Zach made me feel extremely welcome. They are knowledgeable and extremely personable. Bathrooms are clean and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I went back for a second time the following day and they had live music and games. Overall fantastic experience at Salt Road Brewery.

Went here on 9/22/23. It's off the beaten path from Old Town Fort Collins. Good size inside abs patio. Bartender was very friendly the day we went. Fun atmosphere. We tried the peach saison, marzen and historic beer. All were really good. Seems like they have beer from light to dark. Very fun place. Cheers!

Really great beer here and a fun atmosphere with patio space and games! Service for a brewery like this in Old Town was below lackluster--hardly any personality or attention given.

The walls are covered in old photos, which gives it that cozy, authentic pub feel. We started with the Brussels sprouts, and those were a win. I love Brussels sprouts when they've got a little sweetness to them, and these hit the spot with a nice flavorful sauce. For my main dish, I ordered the cottage pie (similar to shepherd's pie), and it was honestly really, really good. The flavors were on point, and the mashed potatoes on top were super comforting and well done. Definitely something I'd order again. The only downside was the service--it was just okay. Nothing terrible, but it definitely could've been better and more attentive. Overall, it's a solid spot with great food and a fun atmosphere. I'd come back, especially for that cottage pie.

If you want a late night whiskey or beer or maybe a hot dog this place is fine. But if you want a warm meal then go somewhere else. I don't even think they have the equipment for it. Last two times I accepted the food and said nothing. Thought it was quirky or just my mood. Tonight was just stupid. My daughter and I rode our bikes here and we both ordered potatoes. They were uncooked. Not even warm enough to melt butter. I had mine taken back and reheated and even with the oven and everything they were unable to melt the butter on top of the potato. My daughter didn't complain and just picked at hers while we waited. After spending an extra 10 minutes in the oven the butter was still not melted. I'm not 100% on cooking but I'm pretty sure thats not how it works. They took off $5 for the potato (out of the $25 price) and then the waitress tried to defend it by saying it was the type of cheddar that kept it from melting. I really hope they fail and we can get a competent dive bar here because it is nice to get a late night drink.

When it comes to the size of the brewery, it's comfortable and has room to move around. There is an indoor taproom as well as an outdoor patio. The patio is a good size and there are fire pits during the cooler nights. For entertainment, there is shuffleboard, pinball machines, a wide variety of board games and a little gift shop area. They have a good sized screen for sports games and they are very kid friendly. They have clean restrooms and changing tables. For drinks and menus, they have many different beer choices, a selection of wine, visiting taps, and a few non alcoholic options such as sodas. They also offer good snacks such as pizzas, salsa platters, pretzels, burritos, chips, and kids snacks like goldfish, chips and Nutella snacks. Everything is reasonably priced and we do recommend this great spot to those with and without little ones.

It takes a lot for us to leave a one-star review, but this experience, combined with the constant turnover of beertenders over the years, has finally pushed us to that point. Tonight, at 8:45 p.m. during last call, a new beertender named Rob poured me another beer. Then, at 9:12 p.m., he came over to remind us that they had closed at 9:00. We immediately gathered our things and left, but the interaction made us feel like we were being pushed out. I didn't even finish the beer I had just been served because we no longer felt welcome. For nearly 10 years, we've never been approached like that. We've often stayed up to 30 minutes after closing to finish beers that were poured at last call, and it has never been an issue. We fully understand and respect posted closing hours, but if customers are being served at last call, they should be given a reasonable opportunity to finish those beers without feeling rushed. What made the interaction even more confusing was that Rob was still in the middle of his own closing duties, like bringing in the outdoor cushions, so it didn't appear that our presence was delaying the brewery from closing. It's incredibly disappointing that after nearly two decades of supporting this brewery and being regular customers, this was the experience we had. Between the revolving door of beertenders and the way we were treated tonight, we've decided it's time to take our business elsewhere permanently.

The ambiance is really nice -- I enjoyed the speakeasy-type theme, and the fact that they have a record selection you can ask the bartender to play. These are actual records, with a lot of classics in the mix. The bartender was efficient and friendly, so no issues on staff. Honestly, the restaurant, ambiance, and service were all top notch -- level five. Happy hour cocktails were reasonably priced, and honestly that's the sweet spot here -- come in for nice cocktails at happy hour prices. I also had a couple off their specialty menu; solid drinks, but at $15 a pop they add up fast. I'd suggest getting in early, though crowding didn't seem to be an issue -- it still wasn't busy when we left about an hour and a half after sitting down. My bigger gripe was the food. Loaded tater tots (happy hour) -- fine. The ketchup and ranch that came with them were actually really, really good -- the sauces were the highlight. The tots just needed slightly longer in the fryer. Not undercooked exactly, they just wanted to fall apart and didn't hold up, which made for a messy plate you basically needed a fork or spoon for. Green goddess salad, $15 -- the biggest letdown. We were looking for something lighter since we weren't trying to get full, and on paper this looked really good -- but it didn't deliver. Way too lightly dressed for the arugula, and there wasn't much flavor unless you happened to get a piece of fruit, a piece of cheese, and the arugula all in one bite. It needed crunch -- some candied pecans or another nut would've been really nice -- and just more dressing in general. Too dry, and lacking something. Fifteen dollars for essentially some arugula, and the two of us only got through half of it. Other than that, the experience was pretty solid. Would recommend, and would return.
