USA, WY: Freedom's Edge Brewing opens in Fort Collins

Freedom’s Edge Brewing Co., the Cheyenne, Wyoming-based microbrewery, opened its doors in Old Town Fort Collins on March 27, The Coloradoan reported.

The brewery has been operating in Cheyenne since 2012, but with the second location, owners Tim and Dawn Moore and their Fort Collins-based family will be spending more time at home in Colorado.

Located in the old Red Table Cafe location, Freedom’s Edge is smaller than most breweries in town, and it will serve as a community-focused pilot brewpub.

The space still maintains the charm of the old building. In the back, a pilot three-barrel brewing system has already cranked out nine beers, which will be on tap starting March 27.

The brand’s flagship beers, High Noon Chili Ale and 1890 IPA, will be flowing as well as some new ones for Fort Collins customers, such as the Candi Sugar Brown, a Belgian with light-roasted notes and a raisin finish.

A 10th tap will rotate monthly and feature collaboration beers with Fort Collins homebrewers and microbrewers.

Tim Moore said his sons-in-law do much of the brewing with him, while his wife and daughters manage the front of the house.
