Outstanding service from Maddie and the rest of the entire crew, here. Love the Nokhu IPA: clean, crisp and clearly brewed with love. Also really enjoyed the darling florals around this beautiful spot!! And the bathrooms were so nice and clean!!! ( Can’t overlook these things.) Seems like it would be a wonderful event space.

I've been coming here for years and never left a well-deserved review. From day 1, the service and beer have been top notch. The food truck schedule is solid, the prices are great, and the pretzels are the best in town. The staff always makes sure my friends and I are well taken care of (shout-out to Cory and Madeline). Come give them a chance, or another chance, or another after that.

Service was impeccable (Turner) for the live music night (every first Wednesday of the month.) Awesome reggae/funk band tonight. Wow. Glad we stopped in! Good beer, excellent party atmosphere to keep happy hour happier!!

Great service and great beers! Having the piping hot Bavarian pretzel with beer cheese is a must with your beer flight. Below are reviews of the beers I tried in my flight. Gold Rush Brut IPA - crisp and clean IPA with not too overpowering hoppiness, very nice. Gluten Bock Lager - malty lager; not a personal fan of the maltiness, but it is quite smooth. Cashmere Cream Ale - very smooth with the smallest hint of sweetiness, which is perfect; very tasty. Nokhu American IPA - smooth with plenty of hoppiness, nicely balanced and very tasty. Both IPA's and the Cream Ale tire for first place in my book, all great for what they are. Bock Lager comes in last just because I personally don't prefer the maltiness, but I'd say it's perfect for a porter lover.

Local foods and award winning brews - Gilded Goat Brewing Company is a humble yet delivering brewery, especially when it comes to striving for excellence and delivering an authentic delicious experience. Gilded Goat also collaborates with local food trucks to provide brewery patrons the best Fort Collins has to offer. Furthermore, if you come for a quick pint on Wednesday evening you may encounter a bingo night (@6:30pm), a great way to spend an hour and make a few friends along the way. Brewery staff are also very kind, attentive, and personable - yet again, providing the best Fort Collins has to offer.

This place has pissed me off more than once by closing for private events or shutting down their upstairs seating for the same. It has (I kid you not) happened to us atleast 3 times. It's a waste of time to come here unless you call ahead. PSA the pretzels are good, beers are good too.

The Gilded Goat went above and beyond to make our son's Graduation/Birthday party a hit. We had to organize from a distance, and Toph held our hand the whole way. We were able to bring in our own food as well as purchase from the amazing food cart (it was Arkansas BBQ when we were there, Cousins Lobster the night before). A pop-up book seller was in the house and doing very well as well! Beers were great, ambiance perfect and they offered NA options for us who don't imbibe. The projector on the mezzanine was a bonus feature! I wish we lived closer. :)

As this was my first visit in this establishment I didn't know what to try. The kind and courteous bartender recommended a lager and I ended up liking it. The ambiance is homey and the neighborhood hang out kind of vibe. I also liked the goat motif they had all around the bar.

One of our favorite breweries. So comfortable and welcoming. They have great beer and sone seasonal seltzers. I ordered the Cranstravaganza ..... a spiced cranberry hard seltzer. A tad sweet, a tad tart and delicious! We also enjoy the Six Pence Baltic Porter .... dark and tasty. There is a large seating area on the main floor at the bar and an upstairs area with a few games. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great sweatshirts and hats. Fun place to sit and relax with a good beer.

The staff was so knowledgeable and friendly! Was recommended the strawberry lemongrass seltzer because I don't like beer and it was delicious!

Czech Lager is excellent. Lighter than a domestic, still tastes great. Love their choice in music.

We were impressed! Bartender treated us like anyone else even though we ate from out of town. We will definitely return for the tasty beer and great service! Wish they had more snacks to choose from but that's nothing and wouldn't stop me from returning.

Went there on 5/2/21. Bartenders are wearing mask. They are sanitizing between customers. Good selection of beer. We tried the BA Cream Ale on nitro, double IPA and the sour collabed with Goat Patch Brewing. Very good beer. IPA was super hoppy and bitter. I'm sure the other beers are great. Cheers!

Glad I found this place after so long in covid isolation. It's a large place with a spaciously laid out interior and a few outdoor tables as well. The beer tenders are nice and I have even seen them offer ride help to folks who've had a few too many. I only have a few months' experience with their menu, but I find it's broad enough to support a range of preferences, and changes often to where there's usually something new to try. Thus far their main categories appear to be IPAs and Sours, with the "special" menu usually being made up of delicious sours, and maybe a third of the rest are some nature of IPA. The rest kinda bounce around it seems, but off the top of my head I've had wit, stout, porter, kolsch, and recently an oktoberfest made an appearance! The prices for beer are fair, even for small portions and flights. There are food trucks and event nights as well, but I haven't gotten to the point where I'm feeling social enough for this yet. Trivia and Bingo nights seem to be when the crowds really show up. As far as snacks go, they have chips and salsa, large bready pretzels with epic cheese, and jerky options, but they appear outside food friendly as far as I can tell.

Great service and value!! Friendly and super pleased to serve you. Bonus feature is the dog-friendly outdoor area. They even have water bowls set up for canine visitors. Wish they opened a little earlier. We arrived 20 minutes before opening time from out of town, but they took care of us anyway!

Went to the downtown location for some food and beer. Loved this place. Got a burger from Big Al's. They have gluten reduced beers at the Gilded Goat which is great for me. I have celiac. Tried the Cashmere Crèam Ale and loved it. Definitely recommend this place.

Just a gorgeous, comfortable brewery with great beers. This is not your warehouse-style brewery. This is a very nice taproom with tons of seating, a nice patio and plenty of parking. We really enjoyed their sours and IPAs. Love that they have upstairs loft seating as well. Just a great experience. Will definitely be back when in town.

Super cool brewery. Love the set up, especially upstairs. The DownPour IPA so super delicious. The staff are extremely friendly. They don't serve food, but usually they have a food truck. They do serve pretzels and chips and salsa. The owner is super down to earth, can pretty much talk to him about anything. He really makes an effort to talk to all his customers.

First time here and we wanted to try several of the beers so we got a flight. ALL of the beers were really good. Service was good and the staff were willing to answer questions. They also had a food truck when we were there and seem to have a rotation.

I love Gilded Goat Brewing! This is our place for Geeks Who Drink quiz on many weeks in the year. It is also a place where we feel like it has a "neighborhood brewery" feel to it. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I can always try the new beer on tap before I commit to a pint of it and I can always count on them to have something new. The beer is great...in so many styles. I have been visiting since they originally opened and their beer has been getting better and better. My only complaint is that they no longer brew Petrichor, which was my very favorite IPA that they make. Keep up the good work and I will be watching for Petrichor to make a triumphant return! Oh, I almost forgot, they have the best pretzel and the beer cheese is so good!

There are so many breweries in the Ft Collins area that I am not sure if this is one you have to stop at. It is super small and their beer selection was less than par.

Legendary service! This was my first visit and the experience was outstanding. From help with choosing a beer (delicious), to making sure the tables were sanitized, to offering to ALSO sanitize my water bottle so that they could fill it for me. I will definitely go again! A+

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and set up inside. Vibe is good and beer is excellent and location is great. The sidewalk patio does not come with the best views, but is not unpleasant, unless there for lunch and it's in the sun. Highly recommend this brewery

Fantastic (I mean SUPER!) special strong dark quad on tap and in bottles. Also the Rocky Mountain salsa is very good! Not much for food options, but go for the beer.

Great beers, great staff. Always happy to go here! (Thats for the south college location. The downtown one, I always seem to catch the beer tenders on a bad day or something., so haven't been as happy there. Will keep trying!)

We tried to have a beer at this local spot, but unfortunately they girl at the bar said we were arriving too close to closing time so she wouldn't even serve us. 9pm is a ridiculous closing time especially on a Friday night.

The taproom is beautifully new and shiny and is flooded with sunlight. They also have a few shaded tables out front to enjoy the crisp Colorado air. We enjoyed the Annalise Blonde Ale and the Nokhu IPA. Parking is abundant and close. Go shopping at the mall then head over to Gilded Goat to celebrate your finds!

This is a beautiful facility with an upper level of additional seating. Small menu offering beers, sours and snacks. Beer tastes are very personal, and I didn't really find an IPA to my liking. Bratwurst was delicious though and I was sad when I ran out of pretzel sticks to savor the last bit of cheese dip. Seating is comfy and nice to have a pitcher of water at my table. Lots of merchandise for sale, and their $99 membership is a screaming deal. In spite of sound padding, it can get loud. I will be back to try their other beverages.

What a great place. We visited while out in Loveland visiting family. The place is incredibly clean, fresh and the brews were awesome. We sampled three different styles and did not have a single loser!! Dew drop in and try them if you are nearby! It's well worth the trip!

Great selection of craft beers and friendly staff. Was excited to try the GABF rotator beer which was the sour cherry quad, was amazing and wish I could have some right now. Can't wait to check them out again when I'm back in town

We were at the Gilded Goat yesterday enjoying beers with friends when an employee opened the door when it was quite chilly and windy. We were all freezing (as were many of the customers) so we asked to close the door, to which we were told that the employees were hot. (They were wearing beanies T-shirts and flannel jackets over the T-shirts!) logically you would think they could just take off a layer and a hat and they would probably feel about the same as we felt. They refused to close the door to keep their customers comfortable, even though we are the ones paying their salary and tips! It will probably be a long while before we go back to the Gilded Goat. Their attitude is losing them customers!!

This is yet another brewery that opened since my last visit to Fort Collins. The area where this brewery is is so different! This used to be a part of The Square, right next to the Foothills Fashion Mall and everything is completely remodeled or rebuilt and looks nearly unrecognizable! I am glad we went here though since this brewery is nice, new and clean! The beer here is very good! I had the Meandering Wit beer which was excellent! Steve had their Toats' Ma Goats which was an Oatmeal Stout. We paid our visit to Fort Collins in the spring and we were just on the verge of moving from getting less dark... "warming" beers in exchange for more lighter, summery beers... not that the seasons influence what we drink that much anyway! Lol! To top off our enjoyable experience I bought one of their t-shirts which has the logo of a mountain goat perched upon a mountain peak. A very enjoyable experience here all the way around!

Fantastic staff and atmosphere! We were in for our first time last Saturday to watch the Liverpool game upstairs. We were greeted and accommodated with the utmost care and friendliest service. There's a small menu with appetizer like food on it, from which we ordered the chips and salsa and the meat and Brie plate. There's a good beer selection as well, with something for just about every taste. The brewery was spacious and clean, and we enjoyed our visit. We definitely look forward to coming back again!

Was passing through and met a fellow beer connoisseur who suggested I stop on for a pint. So glad I did. The two bartenders were friendly and helpful. I got the Lightfoot coffee pale ale.... Delicious! Smooth crisp pale ale with a tasty hint of coffee. So if you are staying in the area, or just passing through, stop on for a pint (or two) and get a soft pretzel to munch on.

Hang on to your horns boys and girls. This new brewery in town has the perfect amount of space for a gathering. The beer is very comparable to other craft breweries in the area. They have a lot of new beers on the way that aren't out yet. Don't let this keep you away, I quite enjoy the IPA here. Stop by on your lunch break.

Cute new brewery. A good selection of interesting beers at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is ok, nothing too special. Good place to meet up with friends and try a new beer!

Caveat: different folks like different beers. I just wasn't a big fan of most I tried. The exception was their Cabernet Belgian quad which I loved and would recommend. Space is nicely done, clean and bright. Staff was very attentive and polite. Clearly a family place as there were several (yelling) children running about which did detract a bit from the experience. Not the owner's fault but be aware if you are looking for a quiet drink.

Great beer and great service. I can't remember the name, but my wife bought an amazing bottle of beer in a recycled wine bottle. It was also aged in reused wine barrels. Mmmmm! If you're in the area, it is worth checking out.

We had the best experience at the Gilded Goat. We stumbled upon this place in search of a venue for our Dad's 50th birthday party. Not only was the space gorgeous, it was affordable, and the staff went above and beyond to help us make it a special event. The owner going so far as to bring my dad out a birthday beer with a candle, so sweet! Between our group we drank nearly every beer on the menu, and would drink them all again. It was a wonderful experience, would highly recommend.

This place has great beer and great service! Unfortunately the owner lacks tact, not the owner that I see in the photo on Yelp, so it must be his father, as it says this is a family owned business. My girlfriend and I were having a conversation and he walked by us once, fine. Then the second time came by and asked us to "watch our language". We weren't bothering anyone near us, and our conversation was private. Sure, maybe some other ADULTS heard us use a few "curse words". He treated us as if we were causing a scene in his brewery. I commented that everyone in the establishment is an adult so I would assume I wouldn't offend anyone by having a private adult conversation. On the way out, a member of staff asked us if "the owner kicked us out" this makes me think this isn't an irregular occurrence. He didn't kick us out, but we definitely felt unwelcome after buying a total of 6 beers in his establishment. This is a brewery we enjoyed going to in the past but now I will think twice before spending my money there in a town where beer is king and the competition for breweries is high. I will take my money elsewhere. Be kind to your customers!

Yelp
There are a few things I love about this place: 1. Not too loud. You can actually have a conversation with others even when the tasting room is busy. 2. There is a phone booth with closing door for private conversations. 3. Then men's restroom has a diaper changing station 4. Convenient location with tons of parking. 5. The beers are all delicious!l 6. Locally owned.

They had advertised an event and it ended up being not as advertised. Aside from being misleading and overpriced, the beer wasn't great either. The space is nice inside though and the bartenders are friendly. Cheers.
