I was supposed to go only for one drink, but there was a bingo night that I did not know. I guess it is every Monday (not sure). It was super fun. They allow kids inside and the kids can play bingo as well. Really great atmosphere. I did not win but I will keep trying.

Awesome beer choices, great outdoor patio, with music. Wonderful owner Kevin treats everyone like family when they visit the bar. They are also very dog friendly, and support a lot of pet agencies. Best place for a beer and great people! Thanks Kevin!!!

I drove by here at random so decided to stop by. Wide array of craft beer selections, staff was very friendly and helpful trying to help me decide what to order. Place is rather large inside with a number of bar seats and tables. They are also dog friendly as there were several dogs chilling inside. Large outdoor space, really chill vibe. Large parking lot so parking shouldn't be an issue. Food truck outside as well.

Super chill brewery with a TON of room to work or play. The beer selection was amazing and the bartender very helpful. AND they are dog-friendly!

A good brewery with a community feel. Shared tables and outdoor seating make this a great place to bring the kids and dogs. Food trucks are usually there, but we go for the beer. The games could be in a little better shape but thats about par for any brewery. Try the sour and the New England IPA, good stuff.

Superb beer! Spacious indoors with a decent patio.🍻 As self-proclaimed 'cataholics,' my partner and I usually seek out feline-friendly establishments, but we couldn't resist the buzz around Maxline Brewing in Fort Collins. We ventured in, ready to embrace our canine-loving counterparts, and boy, were we in for a treat! Maxline Brewing is a haven for dog lovers, where wagging tails and wet noses are celebrated with gusto. The brewery's warm, welcoming ambiance had us feeling right at home, even as cat enthusiasts. The brews? Pawsitively delightful! From hoppy IPAs to velvety stouts, each sip was a symphony of flavors that had us purring with contentment. The staff? Absolutely fetching! They're friendly, knowledgeable, and full of tails—er, tales—about their four-legged friends. We couldn't help but appreciate the love and camaraderie shared between humans and their loyal pups. So, while our hearts will always belong to our whiskered companions, Maxline Brewing showed us that there's room to raise a glass to our canine pals too. Whether you're a cat lover, dog lover, or both, this brewery is the place to be. Cheers to Maxline for bridging the gap and bringing us all together! 🐾🐶🐱 #MaxlineBrewing #PawsAndPints"

I have two young kids, so I'm always trying to find a spot that suits their playful needs and my thirst for good beer. This place checks both boxes. Hopscotch in chalk leads you to the beer door. Large selection on tap, have tried both the Oatmeal Stout and Session Pale Ale, both very good. A good sized L shaped bar area, a couple sets of garage door windows that would be very enjoyable in warmer weather. Large patio off of the parking lot, which is tucked away behind a strip mall and away from heavy traffic noise. Except the train- that might rumble through here with decent decibels, but I have yet to experience that, so for now that is just an assumption due to its proximity to the train tracks and likely has no bearing on the good time you're having here. Very large long tables, groups of 14 can sit at each table. Very dog friendly, allowed in and outside. They'll even allow cats and pigs they say. I have a cat, maybe we'll give that a go one of these days. Lots of board games to keep the kiddos happy. Outsourced food is also served here like Waltzing Kangaroo pies, chips and salsa, pretzels, etc. I believe food trucks also make visits here. We'll be adding Maxline Brewing to our rotation of fun spots to frequent.

Really great beer options! Loved the sours and the pet friendly side of things. Having the daily food truck is a nice touch. Already looking forward to returning. (Pictured is the passion fruit peach sour.)

The patio was shady and super dog friendly. The bartender was very friendly and patient. He helped me find a beer I'd like. The ones I picked were tasty. Definitely glad we were finally able to try here

I would have given this place 5 stars except they allowed dogs to sit on top of the table. There was a food truck outside but it was gross to think of eating on the tables where dogs had been. Unfortunately we won't go back. Yuck.

I had a great experience, the Mexican lager was so good the lime sprinkle packets were a great touch. We also tried the lemon limeade and that wasn't my favorite flavor choice, just fyi but I respect what you were going for!

Our goal of trying every brewery in Fort Collins continues. Maxline is tucked back behind a shopping center off College Ave. There is ample parking even on a day when there is an event. The outdoor seating is comfortable and there is space for a food truck to park. FYI, they keep a list of what trucks are coming on their website. I am a dark beer girl. I gravitate to the dark beers first. I had a wonderful Dry Irish Stout on this visit. Even at 4.4% it had a malty character you might see in a higher ABV beer. It was not thin in any way. My hubby snagged a Hazy IPA that he enjoyed. I would like to try this place again. It will be in the rotation.

The beer was incredible. I had to bring my mom to some appointments and decided to pitstop here for a quick drink before picking her up. Loved the beer, i stayed for two! The pups that came along were so sweet and they were welcoming of the food i brought in and friendly. I like the industrial/woodworked feel of the space and the availability of games. After my mom was done with medical appointments she said she wanted a beer so i towed her here so i could have one more taster. They had cute merchandise and even some for the puppos if i recall correctly , and i have recommended this joint highly to friends who live locally.

Yelp
We checked out this Brewery from a local referral. So glad we did! The beers here are top notch, I had the wit beer, the hazy IPA the mango strawberry sour, and the Norse pils. Every one of them was excellent. Staff was especially friendly especially Rachel. We happen to make it on the night that the taco man truck was out in the parking lot, some of the best tacos I've ever had in my life. If, and when, we move here this will definitely be a place we regularly visit.

Great vibe! Nice comfortable patio to enjoy some very good beer! Friendly and welcoming staff enhance the experience!

I decided to steer away from the crowds in Old Town on St. Patty's Day. Settled on Maxline Brewing in Midtown. Reasonable crowd size and easy to order beers at the counter. Great beer selection. Can't wait to go back when it warms up and they open the garage doors. Love this place.

Another cool locals brewery I remember when I came here there was a box of the cutest puppies so naturally we stayed for quite a while

Great space indoor and outdoor. Love the live music on Thursdays and Sundays. Place was hopping this Sunday afternoon in June.

Great beers on tap and I love that they post their weekly food trucks on their site! The rolling stone pizza food truck was good. The staff is great and the atmosphere is nice and chill. You can brings your dogs inside or out--your choice.

Awesome beers! Experienced a Flight+ of savory good hopness! And took home a couple of Crowlers! Def revisiting in the future!

Heidi P.

Fantastic brewery. I always enjoy their beers and appreciate that they have a variety of beers on tap--including dark beers. They're in a great location in midtown, and I often pick up crowlers on the way home. Friendly service. Good ambiance with a nice outdoor seating area. Clean and dog-friendly.

Was up in FoCo for the weekend and ended up going here twice. Once was Friday afternoon and again Saturday night. First of all they are dog friendly which is always a plus. Their patio is very big. A lot of tables which are all community style so make anew friend. Good selection of beer. We had a couple of flights but my favorite was the Imperial Hefe. Bartenders were all very friendly and attentive. Friday afternoon wasn't that busy. So we were able to just relax with the dog. We saw on the poster that they were having a comedy show Saturday night so we decided to come back then. A lot of people but the show was great! Again greats beers. Fun atmosphere. Will def be back! Cheers!

Nice little brewery! I have been to Maxline a few times now and I have always enjoyed my experience. I have enjoyed the beer options and their selection has grown, along with the seating, over these first three years. I have enjoyed the Irish Red ale and their IPA options when I am there. It is hard to say that any of the beers stand out in my mind as a favorite, but it's pretty solid work. That being said, I have a couple friends who would say they have a favorite brew on tap here. I really enjoy the patio area and the expansion inside for additional seats since they first opened. The staff has always been rather friendly and helpful, allowing me to try a small taste of a beer before committing to a pint and that is much appreciated! On most of my visits there has been a food truck just outside with good food options to enjoy with my beer. I have recommended this spot to many people who are looking for a brewery to try, since many people do not know it is here. This might be because the location is not well advertised. It is on McClelland, which is not a street many people use who are not locals. There doesn't seem to be anything that really draws your eye to the spot when driving by either and I feel like that could use some work. I will continue to come to this brewery because I enjoy good beer and I like the neighborhood feel of the place. I feel like is what is going to make all the difference in these next few years with all of the new beer options. Keep up the good work and I will certainly update my review when that standout beer comes along for me.

The patio was lovely, as was the service! I really appreciated everything the staff was doing to keep everyone safe. The raspberry basil saison was interesting- sweet but the basil gave it a good balance. The Irish red was good too! I would recommend them as an excellent brewery.

Cute spot, i liked the outside seating and the beer is pretty good! Definitely recommend if you want to relax with some friends and have some drinks

Went to grab some brews with my wife at Maxline yesterday. Service was just fine, and $6 beers. The reason for this shitty review is this. While we were there, a female customer who was sitting at the bar for the whole time we were there (2 hours) had her small dog sitting on the bar counter the whole time as well. The bar counter where people sit at, and the bartenders serve the beer on. THE DOG WAS ON THE BAR COUNTER FOR TWO HOURS!!! There was even some sort of notice where you pay on the bar counter, that 'no dogs are aloud on the bar'. I just figured it out, she must be the owner...

Caitlin M.

Casey was a great! So helpful and kind. Plus their red ale is amazing! We were there for a private event and they made everything effortless.

Not a huge variety of brews, but very flavorful and aromatic. Loud inside, but a large outdoor seating area.

Have you ever dreamed of opening up your own brewery? What your design would look like and what items you would incorporate from other breweries? Maxline seems to check all the boxes of things I would want. 1. Very pet friendly inside and out 2. Very clean 3. Very delicious 4. Plants inside and out. They even have Hop Vines growing out front 5. Corn-hole/game area 6. Crowlers and growlers 7. Water station and doggy treat station 8. Outdoor patio as big as the inside seating 9. Snackies 10. Quality merchandise 11. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff 12. Luxuriously wide parking spots I don't have any cons. I was glad to visit here within a month of opening because the future will be bright for this brewery and they will become very busy. Fort Collins is lucky to have you, Maxline.

Best beer in town with the kindest, most charismatic staff. Amazing atmosphere. Lovely brewery for dogs!! And usually a great food truck.

I've been wanting to try Maxline for a long time and finally got to yesterday! Maxline is definitely a new favorite and I wish I had tried it out sooner. The staff is very friendly, the patio is a decent size, and the beer is GREAT! The Imperial Hef was one of the best Hefs that I've had. Also, I really like raspberries, and I love basil, but I was hesitant to try the Raspberry Basil Saison, however it was surprisingly delicious. I can't wait to go back for more.

Amanda S.

Yelp
Loved the beer selection. Had the coffee stout it was very good! Another plus was how dog friendly it is! We were able to bring ng our pup while we enjoyed live music and a beer! Def will be back

A brewery with a heart. Philanthropy all the way. They give back. Polar plunge event for the Special Olympics was great! They have great beer a not too many too select from, a good thing. The owners are great!

Maxline feels like the kind of place that I could come to to hang out any day of the week and get something different out of it every time. I tried the Irish Red and it was pretty solid - there are several other rotating beers that sound interesting. The food truck that was there the day I went worked directly with the bar to incorporate some of the beers into his food. The atmosphere is welcoming, the bartenders are friendly and helpful and the space has lots of potential. There is lots of room inside and they have a great patio space outside.

This is one of my all time favorite places to visit while in CO. Thanks for being such an awesome crew! You guys make it so fun!!! Especially grateful for your precautions to be safe during this pandemic. Much love & positive vibes your way. Cheers & Beers!!

Kate C.

Yelp
Great place to not just drink some tasty craft beer, but also to hang out with friends, play some bingo, eat some food truck food, and get to know new people from FoCo! There are always a lot of interesting and tasty beer options, or if that isn't your thing they have Kombucha as well!

Max P.

Yelp
Great lineup, especially for a brand new brewery - 10 beers plus kombucha. Super dog friendly, a few small snacks on site (but not made here) - that pretzel is ridiculously good. Standout brews: American pale ale, Irish red, & Imperial Brown Hot damn Maxline, hot Damn

Monique H.

Yelp
Maxline is a great hang out spot, maybe one of the best hangouts as far as breweries in the area. Really cool bartenders that make you want to stay a while combined with great seating makes it so you never want to leave. When we visited they were renovating and I can't wait to come back and see the final result.

Lots of people seem to like this place but out of the newer Fort Collins breweries that have opened since my last visit I thought it was just fair. I guess it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. Maxline Brewing is on the south side of the Thunderbird Plaza. Truth be told this old plaza needed a business that would bring in more people... more potential customers for what businesses are still left here and a brewery is really a great way to go to make that happen! The service was good, no doubt about that. It was prompt and friendly... it's just that I usually like beers with more of an experimental streak to them. Reading some of the other reviews from other Yelpers it looks like there is a potential for such a streak here. One Yelper reported that she had a great raspberry basil saison here and that definitely seems creative enough so perhaps it was just the timing of when I was here and what was on tap at the time. I had the Woodchip Coffee Porter which I thought was decent but it didn't quite have the complexity I was hoping. Steve had a wit beer and was not too impressed by it and said that he liked the Woodchip better. All in all it wasn't a bad experience here. Maxline is a good place to relax... I just wished that the beer was more memorable and maybe it will be with more time or maybe it involved timing of what was on tap then which means a return trip would be in order.

We absolutely loved the atmosphere here in the evening. They have huge garage doors that were open onto a tented patio. It is a great neighborhood place to gather with friends and their dogs. We tried the IPA and Oktoberfest and enjoyed both. They were hosting a waffle and beer dinner on the night we stopped in.

Yelp
Love this place ! However I am giving it a lower star review and I will tell you why! One of our dumb friends went kind of behind the bar to tell someone to put a hockey game on the tv ( yea I agree 100% do not do that you idiot ). Some lady ( short hair Karen) came out and yelled at him , threatened him and treated him like he was going to murder someone. He tried to apologize sincerely and Karen said " I don't appreciate your sarcasm " continued to lay into him . He felt awful and tried to say sorry for making anyone uncomfortable. There was a group of bystanders who saw the whole thing and went out of their way to say that he handled it so well and she was so out of line. It's very simple . You walk up to Someone and you say no" do not go behind the bar it's not allowed." You never continue to belittle the customer when they are apologizing. Horrible management. Will not Comeback, learn how to be a manager abs talk to people .

Lot's of brewery choices in Fort Collins, this one is a must visit. Great beer, which is not always the case with new breweries. Great space inside and out as well as a great staff.They do a very good job of having events and fun activities so if your local they keep it interesting and different. We check out every brewery we can and have been to almost 250 in Colorado. Their execution as a new brewery is one of the best we've seen and it shows with the amount of regulars and repeat customers they already have. Check'em out and take your pooch.

Jennette R.

Yelp
Love the beer, love the staff, love the events and activities. The creativity and collaborations the marketing crew keep coming up with is astonishing and amazing! I just wish we lived closer! Although no in-house food, there is always different food trucks right outside. The staff are just so lovely and welcoming. It is differently well worth a stop or perhaps a day! One of the best breweries I have ever experienced. Try a Pat's Porter!

Hard to find, behind the Joann fabrics. Very friendly staff a small but interesting selection of beer and a nice food truck outside. Lots of seating for groups. We tried all eight beers they had on tap and my favorite was the white IPA.

Love this brewery! Brought my daughters, their husbands and kiddos. Family friendly, dog friendly and great beer! Loved the IPA! Will be back soon!

My fiancé and I came to Maxline for the first time last weekend. We showed up for the flingin' pots mug making class and ended up staying and enjoying the patio and beer. Service was fast and friendly, they have a lot of space so it was busy but didn't feel too cramped, we each had 2 beers and they were all delicious, and everything was very clean. We will be back and bringing friends! Also - they sell Dot's pretzels! My absolute favorite snack food.

Great little brewery with awesome brews. It's tucked behind Joann's (College Ave., South of Drake). Monday Night is Bingo Night.

Zach G.

Great beer and great atmosphere. The raspberry basil saison is in my top 3 favorite beers ever. Always good food trucks. Monday night bingo is always a good time and I've won some cool stuff!

The beer here is mediocre. It's decent but not outstanding like other spots. If you want a local feel though this is your spot! The bartender was super nice.

Craig D.

Yelp
We had a great experience at Maxline today. The service was top notch and efficient. The beers were great, all of them, especially the blueberry lime sour and the boysenberry habanero wheat. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the imperial red ale. Such a cool location and atmosphere. Well worth a visit!

YoVir A.

Yelp
Awesome place to hangout and sip beer. Great ambience. Super friendly bartenders. Do try the tater tots and fried pickles chips from the good truck right outside.. with the spicy mayo and (not on the menu) extremely spicy habanero pepper sauce!! Definitely going back..

Blake F.

Yelp
Gunna retract my 5 star post! The one guy there who is a bald headed white guy is awesome personality well spoken great guy. There a dark haired guy who is rude and not so friendly. Might not go back because of him....well see, wasn't impressed with his attitude and how he spoke to others and interrupted co workers talking to customers and was just a POS.

Rachel B.

Yelp
A really great place for large crowds. The bartender was very kind, and let us sample a beer we were hesitant about (ended up being amazing). Every beer we had was great. Will be going back!

Bridget D.

Got a flight of six beers and they were all amazing!!! They even gave us a free taster of the new raspberry basil saison coming out next week!

Maxline Brewing has a great atmosphere. My dog was warmly welcomed, so that's always a plus! The crowd that Maxline attracts is fun and easy going. The only downside of my visit was that it was crowded inside and the heaters weren't turned on outside - so I was a bit chilly. Other than that, I would definitely come back and recommend! Oh and the beer is good, too!

Brian H.

Yelp
Great little brewery, love their honey IPA! Fun events, most of the time there's a food truck outside if you get hungry. Close to the MAX bus line in case you've enjoyed a couple too many delicious brews!

Joe B.

Yelp
Great brewery with great owners, employees, and regulars. Nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating and extremely dog friendly. Outdoor heaters are lit when needed. A little hard to find behind joanns but worth it.

Kathy G.

Yelp
GREAT brewery! What I LOVE about this place the most is that anyone can feel comfortable here - GREAT crowds of all ages and walks of life. They always have fun activities going on where you'll feel comfortable joining (or not) like Monday night Bingo. The beer is awesome! And great extra space to rent out for gatherings - I can't wait to come up with one!
