What. An. Awesome. Brewery.
And I didn't even take the tour.
Fort Collins is one of my #1 favorite cities, so with this relaxation trip, I wanted to fit more Breweries in. After doing some research, I decided to make Funkwerks the first brewery I stopped in at while in town. And I did. And I was not disappointed. And I will always be returning here.
Funkwerks has a very adorable location. It's fairly small brewery and taproom wise, but it has such a nice feel to it. I walked in the door ([han] solo) and was immediately greeted and asked if I had been in before. She gave me the quick run down, asked If I was interested in a certain beer or a flight (how could you not do a flight here?!) so I started with the latter. After quick perusal of the menu, I went with the "Funkwerks Flight" (5 tasters of 4oz for $9).
If you stop in, definitely go for a flight. It'll give you a nice selection of many beers for a reasonable price - AND these are not low % beers. You'll feel something as you consume them....especially when you're use to those pesky Utah beers.
I took my flight of 5 gorgeously colored (and gorgeously tasting) beers outside to enjoy a little sunshine - and also because the tap room was buzzaayy when I came in around 430pm on a Monday. I really enjoyed all five beer selections within the Funkwerks Flight (Nelson Sauvin, Saison, Tropic King, Apricot Provincial & Raspberry Provincial) the Raspberry and Nelson Sauvin probably being my faves. Please! Try this flight! So amazing. I'll need to return to try their special selection flight...
Once my flight was gone, I realized that I really needed to try the Elder Wit [I have a mild obsession with Elderflower]. I enjoyed it, but singly-unanimously decided that the 5 selections that came with the flight were the better - with more flavor and depth.
For all my future visits to FoCo, a stop in at Funkwerks will be necessary. The patrons and employees were so awesome here, and the beers were top notch. It may be hard to top this cute little brewery anytime soon. Thanks for a great few hours, FW!
