Nice little brewery in Fountain. It's a place that you would like to see in downtown springs. The food is pretty good, and the ambiance is what I like the most. I had no idea about this place. Truly a hidden gem. My coworkers and I will definitely be back.

Wide selection of beers that each actually taste different from each other; that's a good thing. The building with all the garage doors is as if it was custom built for a brewery. For me, it's well worth the drive from Colorado Springs.

I'm always looking for a worthy red beer. So far the only ones I have found are Loki red and Peake n' pines "need4speed red"... A+. Also had always late hazy and kranky antelope ipa.... I don't think this brew master knows how to make an "average" beer! I wish I could keep trying others, but need to do that on another trip from Oregon.... Or maybe I'll be back tomorrow.... Came back next day... Pale ale; A... Ohana nut Stout; A+... I've sampled many breweries' beers in Oregon and Washington, but I've never been to one that aced my tasting expectations. Bravo!

I came to Colorado on a family trip. I was looking for things to do, and got a tip about this Brewery in Fountain. At first I was skeptical, I'm not usually a beer person. But they had a food truck so I figured why not give it a shot. I'm so glad that I did. First of all their beers are superb. Only beer I've ever been able to drink. For drinks, I tried the Strawberry Kiwi Seltzer, the Peach Tart Blonde, the Prickly Pear Kolsch, the Strawberry slush, and the Ohana Nut Stout. While I would recommend them all I must say, the Ohana Nut (a beautiful brew with a bit of Nut flavor and a bold body),
