At The Post Chicken & Beer, we fry up crispy, juicy, Colorado-style fried chicken (which just happens to be gluten free) and pair it with award-winning craft brews. Our unique recipe is the result of years of research and tinkering by chef and partner Brett 'Smitty' Smith. At this chicken party, we only serve humanely raised, fresh, all-natural chicken that we brine for hours, dip in buttermilk, and dunk in seasoned gluten-free flour. Our pressure fryers keep our bird nice and juicy with a crispy crust, even late at night when you're sneaking leftovers out of the fridge with the door open (we won't tell). We believe that hot chicken and cold beer is one of the best pairings in the universe, which is why our brewers work so hard to create such delicious suds. Our menu also includes farm-fresh sides, salads, sandwiches, tenders, and scratch-made desserts. Since opening in Lafayette in 2014, we've been spreading the chicken & beer love up and down the Front Range.

    The chicken was very good, and that is what we came for. The mashed potatoes were very good, too. The cole slaw was ok, not great. The disappointment was that the mashed potatoes and cole slaw, as sides, were very expensive, and our total bill, with just one beer, a lemonade, 2 half chickens and two sides came to over fifty dollars! With tip, over $60. Next time we have a craving for chicken it will be Costco rotisserie chicken.

    Love to visit the post to enjoy gluten free fried chicken. First visit in Fort Collins. Ordered chicken and mash potatoes, both marked GF and the server told the kitchen I’m celiac. The gravy on the potatoes tasted different than other locations, more tangy. Unfortunately, I got very sick after the meal with symptoms of being glutened.

    The Post Chicken & Beer - Fort CollinsResponded on June 11, 2022Hi ADemi, Thank you so much for visiting us! I can confirm that all of our recipes are the same as the other locations and that all of our gravy's and bone-in fried chicken are 100% gluten free. We do cross-contact/ allergies very seriously. I do apologize that you were feeling unwell though, and will make sure we talk with our team. We hope you give us another shot. Best, Morgan
