Gilded Goat Brewing Company

The Gilded Goat Brewing Company is a family owned brewery with its foundations in European beer traditions and under the influence of the Colorado beer culture. We treat our beer-making mission as a complementary blend of art and science using Colorado mountain water and fresh ingredients. We make beer that, like the goat, is adventurous, bold and balanced in its environment; comfortable on the edge. Our brewhouse is the backbone of the Gilded Goat, and no role is more important than that of the brewers. Charlie Hoxmeier leads the brewing team, often with the help of students from the Fermentation Science program at CSU, as well as interns from other degree programs from around Fort Collins. Born and raised in Fort Collins, Charlie earned a PhD in Microbiology and spent several years in public health studying the world's 'neglected diseases'. After a decade of homebrewing experience, he now runs the brewhouse and quality control lab dedicated to the art and science behind each pint of beer. It is this coming together of different craft beer regions and cultures that creates a uniquely local twist on styles. In the brewhouse it's about teamwork and problem solving and bringing ideas and experience together, all for the ultimate goal of bringing a recipe from our brewers' heads to a glass of beer. We're independent, local, family owned, and our beer is a reflection of those elements.
