Fort Collins Brewery was founded on June 1, 1992, by Sandy Jones, Karen Jones. Originally named the H.C. Berger Brewing Company, Fort Collins Brewery had a capacity of 8,840 Barrels and Jesse Angell serving as the head brewer.[1]
The Joneses sold the business in 1996. It was seized from the new owners in 2002 for failure to pay taxes, and the Joneses took it back in August 2003.[2] In 2004, Tom Peters and Jan Peters took over.[3]
In August 2010, the brewery moved and expanded to include a self-owned restaurant called Gravity 1020, which opened on May 12, 2011, for dinner under command of Chef Brian Shaner. Fort Collins Brewery is one of 13 production breweries to include a restaurant. As of 2011, the company employed 60 workers.[4]
Fort Collins Brewery used about 2.5 million gallons of water in 2012.[5]
In the summer of 2017, the land, building and assets of Fort Collins Brewery, but not the brand itself, was purchased by Red Truck Brewing Company which assumed control of the 35,000 sq ft (3,300 m2) facility on August 1, 2017, and opened for business on August, 18th, 2018.[6]
