Horsefly Brewing Company — which claims to be Montrose’s first brewery — was recently opened by Montrose homebrewers Nigel Askew and Melanie Freismuth.
“If you are going to do something, do something that your interested in and have a passion for. Then, what was work, is not,” Askew said.

It’s his passion, and one that is obvious as he carefully crafts his next batch — a barrel and a half or 52-gallon system — of American Pale Ale to Scottish and blonde.
The brewery is located at 2320 E. Main Street in Montrose and is open limited hours, selling only its own beers. Currently, there are four on tap, but the brewery has the ability to hold six finished beers while brewing several others.
