Horsefly Brewing Company

Solid ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ burger+garlic mayo. Ambiance is nice and relaxed. Had the red and razzy jazzy beer. Razzy jazzy tastes like it sounds… Very fruity.

The beer is good, the food is served so u control the amount of sauce/​condiments, the atmosphere festive. Wait staff very attentive.

Food was good but a bit on the pricey side. Ambience was typical of a sports/​hangout bar; not for a quiet sit down as the music there can be way to loud for conversation. This is not always true but made our latest experience forgetful. The wings are good and the Dayspring organic meat is something to try on a gluten-​free bun – tasty but a bit pricey. If you like brewpubs, this is a good place to try! Try Phil’s Hoppin’ wings and you can’t go wrong but bring some money!

All the folks there seem nice. The food was ok. The beer was ok. Not a bad experience, just not great

This is a little gem tucked away in this little town, and we are glad we didn’t just drive through the town. It has a sweet Patio with ton of seats and great shades, and good list of brews. We tried a flight and a couple of burgers, very impressed with the beer and the burgers were interest, bacon burger was to die for but you could never go wrong with bacon. Only negative was our waitress didn’t return for half an hour after the food was brought out so we had to go to the counter to pay our bill.

Was passing and saw the brewer sign. I’m on vacation — what the heck! Waiter was very friendly and answered our questions with ease.
Cool little local’s place. Great to sit outside, watch the world go by and have a brew. I recommend the Jazzy Red or Red Jazzy — can’t remember which it was. Flavorful, not too fruity, and went well with my cod sandwich.
The sandwich was huge with an overkill of tartar sauce. Good sauce — just too much.
Sweet potato fries were great. Not flaccid (who wants flaccid fries?) and a nice crunch. They had a sweet sauce that was unremarkable. I prefer maple butter with mine.
All in all — an enjoyable afternoon. Now time for a nap.

Food was OK. Service was S-​L-​O-​W. I got the feeling they were under-​staffed. Enjoyed sitting outside and being able to have our dogs on the patio with us.

Tasty food and good craft brews! Nice little spot tucked away on Main Street. This is a great place for burgers and beers. Huge selections, friendly service, recommended!

Favorite of the locals, came across this little gem on a visit to Montrose Colorado. Ultra casual with in door and out door seating. The Brewing Co boasts several specialty beers brewed on the property. In addition they hand patty their burgers and make their own desserts. Laid back and relaxed can’t be in a hurry when eating here, food makes it worth it. Was just what we were looking for to sit out and enjoy a good meal in the Colorado fresh air.

Great assortment of beer! Blonde and jazzy razzy was good (for you light beer drinkers). I’m a dark beer person, porter was off the hook! Coconut porter was solid, and chocolate stout was tasty too. Good place if you’re looking for a good brewery!

Great service. Very accommodating. Let me order simple little easy things off the menu. Good beer! I was very happy with my dining experience here as a whole. Would recommend. Had a very festive set up for the Fourth of July (independence day).

Made a quick stop at this place while traveling. The kitchen was being remodeled so there was an extremely limited menu but all was well nonetheless. Enjoyed the beer menu and off the limited menu had the pulled pork sandwich which was delicious.
I imagine this place being pretty darn good when fully up and running.

Very, very slow and poor service at 330pm on a Saturday. But I have patience.
The patio had only one wait staff and it was moderately busy. I was finished with my large iced tea and large water before my order was taken. I hydrate. Perhaps smaller towns are harder to find employees?
The garlic Parmesan wings were crispy good but a tad flavorless. I tried other sauces and they were superior.
Overall a decent stop. We stayed true to breweries only on our adventure. Did not try the beer though.
You are bound to have better success and experience as I hope this was an off day. Check it out. You may be glad you did.

A glistening ray of beer-​tinted sunlight shines on Montrose: The Horsefly. Growing up in ol’ Mo-​town, I saw many transformations of the building now occupied by this fantastic brewery, including a KFC. But now, the use of space for the provision of unique and tasty brews and food is a most welcome change.
The atmosphere is this place is as laid back as those who frequent it. The decorations are rustic and artistic, including much original artwork.
The beers: overall excellent. Every once in a while you try a new one that is under-​carbonated (e.g. recently the gingerbread stout, although still very good). The Scottish is a favorite, as is the Jazzy Razzy, which finds itself as a top contender on my very short list of favorite fruity beers.
Great food that caters to by German persuasions, and decent prices for a place that could probably charge more. (Please don’t. Thanks!) Also, happy hour is Monday through Friday 3 – 5 with daily specials.

We decided to give this place another try. We really wanted to like it based on the outdoor atmosphere and the Unilocal reviews calling this a local favorite.
Obviously we were very soured from our first trip here where we were looked over and never helped by multiple staff members. This time we were asked where we wanted to sit and service was quick. However, the server didn’t know much about the beers we were ordering, and didn’t even know the name of one of them. That’s a big turnoff for us when we visit a brewery.
We ordered a couple appetizers and really enjoyed sitting outdoors with our dog. The appetizers were nothing special or different from any other fried food at a bar.
We won’t bother visiting again and wouldn’t recommend it. We wouldn’t have returned but we really wanted to knock it off our Montrose brewery list. They should just stick to the neighborhood bar and food gig.

It is a Saturday night and the place was happening. We sat inside but there was a live band outside. I had the Asian Chicken Salad and it hit the spot. We also had the ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ slider and if we had ordered it in the regular size we would of sent it back; just gross. We also had the Down ‘n Dirty and Sweet and Spicy wings; they were amazing, we would come back for them!
The funny part is the women’s restroom; it is in the dining room and I had a front row seat of all the girls lined up to use it. Everyone knew each other and would hug and say hi and chat as each one held the door for the next girl to go in.
I think the wings are a good enough reason the give 4 stars instead of 3!

I’d venture to say this is the best patio I’ve been to in Colorado. I truly was blown away by how nice this brewery is. On a recent trip to Montrose, I couldn’t help but try the local breweries and was overwhelmed by how great it was. On this occasion, we had the full sampler which included all 8 beers on tap and each of them had fantastic flavor, I really enjoyed the Scottish and the Double IPA. It was somewhat refreshing to see nothing to frou frou rather pretty straight forward, very well made, delicious beers.
I was very impressed by the whole selection and the cool breeze sitting out on that patio couldn’t have been more delightful.
I’d highly recommend anyone in the area to hit them up and you’ll be sure to enjoy!

Delightful! Amazing patio experience!
We stopped by for a sampler flight after playing a lil disc golf and had a super great time here. Around noon on a Saturday, the joint was jumpin and the patio was almost full. There were families, couples and even a dog and a child in a sandbox hanging out.
The patio ambiance was relaxing and welcoming, shaded and sunny with fun garden art and comfy chairs. I love the label art and beer names too, although flies aren’t the most appealing, they really rocked the idea.
We had a full sampler of 8 beers that were pretty tasty. I really liked the hefeweizen and the red. The carrier said ‘Time’s fun when you’re having flies!’ — tee hee.
They have a super big menu, but we only got the beer cheese dip made with the red ale and it was fantastic! We had great service and conversation and would return if it wasn’t so far from home base.
Anyone in this area must stop by here, it was a great time.

Made a stop here on our way to the Black Canyon. OK brews with pretty good food. Really liked the BBQ pork sandwich and the special mexican equivalent of the pork sandwich. The service was pretty crap and we had to go to the bar to get drinks, refills, silverware… etc… would probably stop by here for a drink and food if we were passing through again but would probably just sit at the bar.
P. S. I know that this is the «Horsefly Brewing Company» but damn… please do something about your fly problem…

When in Montrose, try this gem. Having gone to this place with 14 people, I was not sure how things would go. Luck would have it that we got a young guy named Branden as our server and he was fantastic. There are always some small glitches in a lodge group, he he was patient and attentive and really did a great job.
The food was great too. Appetizers were fast to come out and the menu has a great selection of food. I highly recommend the ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ burger. Half bacon and beef… What a great flavor and done perfectly well.
Thanks again to the folks at Horsefly for making it a great experience.
