    In a town like Fort Collins where there are 20 breweries all within a 20 mile radius, it's hard to pick where to start. Being that this brewery wasn't far from our rental house, we decided to kick off our #FoCoBrewTour weekend at Equinox, which did not disappoint. It really is the perfect spot for anyone seeking the following: 1) Easy to spot & Ample Parking Located on the corner of Remington and E Mountain Ave, the brewery is easily marked and provides excellent FREE street, lot, alley and back parking - which is a blessing in any downtown setting! 2) Indoor & Outdoor Seating A variety of seating options ranging from the bar top, spacious interior and outdoor patio - perfect for groups of all sizes! 3) Cute & Quaint Interior/Exterior With exposed brick, Edison bulbs, an extensive oak bar and dim(ish) lighting, the space is definitely cozy, cute and provides a sense of calmness throughout the storm that is downtown Fort Collins. 4) Coffeehouse Vibes This is not your typical brewery and gives off major vibes of a relaxing atmosphere. Featuring NO televisions, its' easy to see this is a place to converse with friends while sipping on killer brews. 5) Stellar Service We opted to order our flights at the bar and the bartender was beyond friendly, made conversation and provided us with recommendations on which brews were his favorite. He ensured we liked our choices, quickly cashed us out and made us feel right at home. 6) Delicious brews! Wanting to try it ALL, we opted for 2 flights to share. The first featured all their IPA style beers, while the other flight offered their more traditional brews like the Sunrise Golden Ale and Irish Red. Being an IPA lover myself, I found myself gravitating towards the Hazy IPA as it was perfectly hoppy and refreshing. Others in our group loved the Space Ghost IPA, as it featured grapefruit notes. We all left with the perfect introduction to their killer brews, and opted to take home some Crowlers for later! When in Fort Collins again, I'd easily make another stop in!

    Cool space! Love that they have a patio for seating outside, along with a coffee-shop-like vibe inside. I wasn't in love with the beer I ordered, but overall this was a great stop for some air conditioning and a drink while strolling through Fort Collins!

    Adorable patio!

    This place is getting a 5 star solely based on their spice beer!!! I have been getting pumpkin beers from breweries for the last 2 months and have been completely disappointed by them. I asked the bar tender here for one and she suggested I try the spice beer. OH MY GOSH IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! I don't think I've ever tried a beer like that before. Also their back patio is absolute perfection!!!! I love the different colors and it's adorable. Hands down one of the best beers I've ever had!!

    Equinox is soaring to the top of my list of best breweries in Fort Collins. I love their beer, their outdoor patio spaces, and their really friendly staff. I've also felt extremely safe going here throughout the entirety of the pandemic. First I'll fill you in on their beer. I'm pretty loyal to their Cosmic Kolsch, which is light yet flavorful, with subtle fruity notes on the finish. Their menu is diverse so there's something on there for everyone--whether you like IPAs, Porters, Sours, Hefeweizen, etc. they have something for you to try. Their patio spaces are definitely a high point as well. They have two outdoor patios--one in the back (the "beer garden") and one south-facing. It's been competitive to get a table on the south-facing patio when the sun is shining, but I really enjoy the seclusion and intimacy of the beer garden anyway. When the weather is cooler, they have efficient heaters so you can still enjoy the outdoors. Both patios are a great place to catch up with friends. As I said before, I feel really safe dining-in (drinking-in?) here. The flow patterns into and out of the brewery are clearly marked with arrows on the floor. There is a plastic barrier between you and the staff when you're ordering. And the staff is really diligent about wiping down tables, chairs, etc. between groups. They use a handy table-stand that indicates if a table is clean or if it still needs to be sanitized. I really appreciate all the measures they've taken to keep our community safe and healthy. Their beers aren't available in stores, so make sure you're going on-site for a beer, or get a growler fill to go. Let's keep this place going!

    Meh. There are much better breweries in the area. The hazy IPA was terrible. I actually dumped in and we left to go somewhere else. Also it seemed super odd that on Friday afternoon (prime time happy hour) it was dead.

    Cool looking bar. Several draft selections. Patio outside. I don't hear any music outside at 5:00 pm

    This is my favorite brewery in Fort Collins! I know the head brewer, but that's not even why. The beer here is really special and made well. The environment is relaxed and quaint. Live music is always a bonus! The outdoor patio is very cute! Grab a Jonas Porter and enjoy some shuffle board with a friend!

    Good beer! Nice patio. Was a little bummed about no flights but totally understand due to COVID situation. Friend staff & very chill on a Thursday afternoon.

    Beer samplers.

    You walk in, order at the bar, and seat yourself. There is no table service. They have samplers and we got the regular one and the specialty. The regular comes with 6 samples for $8 while the specialty comes with 5 samples for $8. This place brews some delicious, strong beer. My husband and I thought we could share both flights. Boy were we wrong. Our hearts were broken as we left half the beer at the table because we were just too full. The beers here were a little too heavy and strong for my liking, but still very enjoyable. Next time I would skip the sampler and just order a glass of whatever looked the best. This place was pretty packed and there were a few kids running around. They had tables and a bar. Plus they had a shuffleboard. Pretty neat place that Id happily check out again.

    We don't often get the chance to go out in Fort Collins so when we arrived downtown, early for our dinner reservation with some time to kill, we knew we needed to check out a new-to-us brewery. We spotted Equinox first, a familiar name (maybe we've had it before - guest tap at a restaurant maybe?). 6pm on a Saturday with plenty of seating at the bar and tables in every corner. Comfortable environment, warm wood tones and interesting art on the walls. They had probably 15 different beers to try - I sampled a dunkel and imperial hefeweisen, landing on the latter for my pint of choice. My husband is an IPA lover and they had several to choose from, ultimately selecting Space Ghost which I think he liked. I would have loved to stay longer and sample some more, but alas we had a reservation to make. Cheers, Equinox. Thanks for a great first visit.

    Excellent evolving selection and always top quality. A little pricey and often quite packed but worth a stop for anyone on a brewery tour.

    Best atmosphere, decorated with nature photography for sale. Try the Ursa Major and be glad you did.

    Surprisingly the darkest beer in the sampler was my favorite, I think the Jonas Porter?
