Why Copperline

A Taproom Worth the Trip

Great beer is just the start. Here's what makes Copperline the kind of place you keep coming back to.

Brewed On-Site

Every pint is made right here in our brewhouse — small batches, fresh as it gets, with full control over quality from grain to glass.

Independent & Family-Owned

No corporate overlords, no shortcuts — just a family obsessed with making great beer and building a place people love.

16 Rotating Taps

Always something new and something familiar. Crisp lagers, hazy IPAs, brooding stouts, funky sours — there's a pour for everyone.

Dog & Family Friendly

Bring the kids, bring the dog, bring the whole crew. Our taproom is warm, casual, and built for hanging out a while.

A Food Truck Every Night

We rotate the best local food trucks daily, so there's always something delicious to soak up the good stuff.

Award-Winning Beer

Thirty-plus medals and counting — but the recognition we care about most is your second pint, and your fifth visit.

Our Story

From a Garage to a Fort Collins Favorite

Copperline started where a lot of good things do — in a garage, with a homebrew kit, a couple of friends, and a stubborn determination to brew beer worth driving across town for. Ten years and a whole lot of medals later, that obsession hasn't faded one bit.

We brew everything on-site in small batches, chasing balance and character over hype and gimmicks. We pour it fresh in a taproom we built to feel like a neighborhood living room — wood, warm light, good music, and room to linger. Whether you're a hophead, a lager loyalist, or just here for the food truck and the company, you'll find a seat and a pour with your name on it.

How We Brew

Grain to Glass, Done Right

No magic, just care, good ingredients, and a whole lot of attention at every step.

1

Mill & Mash

We mill quality grain and mash it warm to coax out the sugars — the foundation of flavor, body, and balance in every beer.

2

Boil & Hop

The wort boils as we add hops with intention — for bitterness, aroma, and that signature Copperline character.

3

Ferment & Condition

Yeast does its quiet magic over days or weeks, and we condition each batch patiently until it's exactly right.

4

Pour It Fresh

Straight from tank to tap, steps away from your stool. It doesn't get any fresher — or any better — than this.

More Than a Place to Drink

Copperline is built for gathering. Every night, a rotating lineup of the area's best food trucks parks out front, turning a pint into a proper meal. Curious how the magic happens? Our brewery tours take you behind the tanks for a hands-on look — and a few tastes straight from the source.

And when you've got something to celebrate, our taproom and private event space are ready. Birthdays, work parties, rehearsal dinners, club nights — we'll set you up with private taps, food-truck catering, and a team that handles the details so you can just enjoy the party. Reach out and let's pour something memorable.

Copperline is my happy place. The beer is genuinely world-class — that hazy IPA is the best in Colorado, full stop — and the taproom has the perfect vibe: warm, unpretentious, dog-friendly, with a different food truck out front every night. I'm there more than I'd like to admit.

As someone who's toured breweries all over the country, Copperline punches way above its size. The range is incredible — crisp lagers, brooding stouts, funky sours — and every single one is dialed in. You can taste the obsession. A true Fort Collins gem.

We hosted our company party in their event space and it was a blast. Private taps, a great food-truck spread, and a team that made the whole thing effortless. Everyone's still talking about it. Already booking our next one here — no contest.

The brewery tour was the highlight of our trip — passionate, hands-on, and we got to taste straight from the tanks. You can tell these folks live and breathe this. We left with a growler of the saison and big smiles. Can't wait to come back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a reservation?

Nope — we're a walk-in taproom, so just come on by and grab a stool. The only time a reservation helps is for large groups, private events, or brewery tours, which you can book right here on the site. For a regular night of beers and a food truck, no planning required.

Is there food, or can I bring my own?

We host a rotating lineup of local food trucks out front every night we're open, so there's always something great to eat. You're also welcome to bring your own food in if you'd like — we just ask that drinks come from us. Check our calendar to see who's slinging tonight.

Are kids and dogs welcome?

Absolutely — both are part of the family here. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the taproom and on the patio, and we're a kid-friendly spot with non-alcoholic options too. We want Copperline to be a place the whole crew can enjoy together.

Can I buy beer to take home?

You bet. Fill a growler or grab a four-pack of crowlers of whatever's pouring, fresh off the line, plus cans and bottles of our packaged releases. It's the best way to bring a little Copperline home with you — though it rarely lasts long.

Do you offer brewery tours?

We do, and they're a blast. Our hands-on tours take you behind the tanks to see (and taste) how the beer comes together, led by people who genuinely love this stuff. Tours run on weekends and include tastings straight from the source — book ahead, as spots fill up.

Can I host a private event there?

Definitely. Our taproom and dedicated event space are perfect for birthdays, work parties, and celebrations of all sizes, with private taps and food-truck catering available. Reach out with your date and headcount and we'll help you plan something everyone will remember.
