Horsefly Brewing Company decided they wanted the name to represent something "local". Â They couldn't spell Uncompahgre so they settled on Horsefly, which is a peak 10,000 feet high on the Uncompahgre Plateau west of Montrose.
In April of '09 Horsefly Brewing Company started brewing recipes and fine tuning them. Â In May '09 construction began on the current location. Â After lots of sweat and tears, (from watching the bar top drip on the floor) and with the help of a lot of friends and family, the doors finally opened September 9th, 2009. Â 09-09-09 was supposed to be lucky someone said.
In September of '10 the doors opened at our new & current location. This was a 4 month adventure into remodeling the building to suit as brewery.
All of us at Horsefly Brewing Companywould like to thank all the family and friends who helped make this happen. Â From the plumbers, electricians, and IT/Co2/printer/newspaper guy, to the frequent taste testers, this wouldn't have been possible without your help. Â We can't thank you enough.
That is enough about us; Â The gang here hopes you enjoy the beers and fun at Horsefly!
