We were really happy with our beers here - I particularly loved the Jazzy Razzy. I'll admit it's not a beer for connoisseurs, but it was good enough for me to want to stop by for a growler to-go when we passed through Montrose the next weekend.
Outdoor patio was nice and there was live music when we ate on a Saturday afternoon. I'd definitely recommend that over sitting inside (but if you must sit inside, sit away from the windows - there were an insane amount of flies in the window and were pretty distracting to our dinner).
Food was pretty average. We both ordered burgers - nothing outstanding, but not bad either. Service was also average - we were definitely not neglected or anything.
I would go here again, probably mostly for the Jazzy Razzy, but next time I'd sit outside on the patio instead of inside.
I stopped here with several family members over the long 4th of July weekend. Â We sat out on the patio, which is well shaded and comfortable. Â The wait staff was excellent and the service in general was great! Â The Jazzy Razzy beer was top notch and that's coming from a Denverite with plenty of local brews to compare to, and my brother-in-law (an Oregonian with a love for beer) loved his red brew as well! Â The burgers are delicious. Â We each had a different one and all were equally great! Â One of the owners even came by to say hello and check on how we were doing. Â I will definitely return when I am in the area!
Review Source:We stopped by this brewery during a quick overnight stop in Montrose. Â They were so wonderful and helpful there. Â They had a sandbox for our kids to play in while we were waiting and let us bring our dog onto the patio (even brought him a bucket of water!). Their beer is great and the kids loved their house made root beer and orange soda. Â My husband is still raving about the 50/50 burger - a mix of bacon and organic beef - says its the best burger he's had. Â Definitely visit if you're in the area.
Review Source:I come to Montrose 1-2 times/yr to ski & dirtbike. Been going to Horsefly since they 1st opened. Â They have the best food and beer in Montrose! Everything I've ever had on the menu (almost everything) has been awesome! Local owners really do a great job with the place. I wish they had as good of a brew pub where I live in Indiana.
Review Source:I have been living in Montrose for a little over a year, and I am officially tired of the Horsefly. Â I am a micro-brewery enthusiast, and I appreciate that we have one in our town. Â But the beer and food are not that good. Â The ambiance is fine, but the service leaves something to be desired. Â I believe that there is hope for this establishment (they're certainly popular enough), but they need to improve their offerings. Â Hire a new brewmaster!
Review Source:Found this place last year while on our road trip. Fun little place, seems to be the local hang out. Burgers are the bomb. 1/2lb cooked medium and messy! They now have natural beef from a local farmer which was delicious. The owner is always there, but spends most of his time drinking with the locals instead of talking to customers. Beer was good, but the staff knows little about the profiles. I had the APA, and the dark mild. The dark was a perfect recreation of the British dark I had back in the day. The APA malty with a generous hop.
Review Source:The beer was ok and the food was great. The service was horrible. We waited 20 minutes to get a drink. Then when our food was ready it just sat on the counter for about 10 minutes before we decided to get up and grab it ourselves. The wait staff was busy chatting with each other. They never checked back with us after that. I would not recommend.
Review Source:Grabbed an early dinner while on vacation. Enjoyed the decor. Dining room was nice. The standard '70s rock music was fine. Â
We opted to sit outside since the weather was nice. I had the 50/50 burger. It's pretty hard to go wrong with a burger made w/ 50% ground bacon. I defy anyone to say otherwise. Yum! The only thing that could've made it better would've been some shrooms. Â I had the Red which I really liked. I'm not a beer aficionado so I can't reflect on the hoppy-ness and/or yeasty-ness, all I know is I liked it;)
The service wasn't very helpful but nor were they rude. Definitely seemed like a local hangout.
Would absolutely go back if in the area.
This is a nice local hang-out that brews beer. Â I am not a beer person, so I leaned toward a raspberry flavored beer, but the hubby and sister-in-law pooh poohed it. Â They liked the dark beer the best. Â It was nice in Montrose so we mainly sat outside. Â Definitely a local place with everyone there knowing each other. Â Cool toward tourist, but polite. Â Didn't really come to the place for the food, but did order wings which were very good.
Review Source:Born in true Colorado, rough-hewn fashion, this brew house boasts 11 taps dripping of their own concoctions. Of the four beers I sampled, all were quite good, but the seasonal Winter Warmer stood out as the best, clocking in at 9.6% alc. The others I tried were the Red, the Coffee Trader Stout, and the Porter, all of which were very tasty, but seemed to lack body. The brew-master, however, assured me it was my undeveloped taste which was lacking. He, being a Brit, a world traveler, and a beer enthusiast, nearly convinced me, yet I have had a beer or two in my time and I know my preferences.
 Their soup was spinach meatball, which I had never before seen on any menu. Its boast was bold, spicy, and meaty, and was paired very nicely with soft sourdough. If I were to base my opinion of the rest of the menu strictly on the soup and bread, I would say the food was very good, and far above average pub cuisine.
 The service, like nearly every other place I've been on Colorado's western half, was nominal. It passed the test, but left no real impression of quality. The girl tending the bar was nice enough, but somewhat oblivious to customer needs and short on professional communication.
 Environment always plays such a crucial role in my interpretation of flavor, food quality, and service, and so becomes the primary basis for my ratings. I must say that the ambiance was inviting and comfortable, and the music (Mighty Mighty Boss Tones, Nirvana, Beck, etc.) and volume actually suited the place rather well. One unique element of the dining room, which caught my attention, was the coffee shop-style lounge chair arrangement situated in an elevated corner of the room. This provided a relaxed feel for those who come in wanting only a drink, but not wanting to risk an encounter with a heavily buzzed bar fly.
All the furnishings and wall decor created a very jovial, beer-oriented, man-cave sort of atmosphere, yet not so much so that well-dressed, professional-looking, middle-aged females were put off by it.
 I greatly enjoyed myself during this first visit, especially the conversation I had with the master brewer.
I would offer a warm recommendation to all.
