LIVE MUSIC
Live music is part of the heartbeat at Loveland Aleworks.
In the winter months, we bring the sound indoors to our cozy loading dock, where Saturdays are all about great beer and even better music. When the weather warms up, the party expands—live music moves outside to our beer garden on Fridays and Saturdays, turning long evenings into laid-back, beer-in-hand soundtracks.
We feature a rotating lineup of talented local and regional musicians spanning bluegrass, country, acoustic rock, crowd-pleasing cover bands, and beyond. Whether you’re here to discover a new favorite artist or sing along to something familiar, there’s always something worth sticking around for.

Addie tonic
Saturday | October 17 | 4-6 PM | ZombieCrawl

In addition to the state of Colorado, Addie Tonic has toured semi-nationally including Montana, Minnesota, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas and plan to do more touring in the future. They have shared bills with successful local acts CITRA and Wildermiss, as well as national acts such as Nikki Lane, Corey Feldman, The Unlikely Candidates, Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and JoJo Hermann’s (Widespread Panic) side project, Slim Wednesday.

RLY ORY
Saturday | October 24 | 4-6 PM | Oddities Vendor Market
RLY ORY (pronounced early’oree) is a Colorado punk-rock family affair made up of two sisters and their dad. The band first took the stage at youth open mic nights in early 2023, followed just a few months later by their first full set at a Fort Collins bowling alley. Their payment? A free pizza—which they happily accepted.
They’ve come a long way since that first pizza.
RLY ORY has since taken their high-energy show to venues and festivals across Colorado and Wyoming, building a reputation for fast, loud, ridiculously fun performances packed with infectious grooves and powerhouse vocals. Drawing inspiration from punk legends like Green Day, The Ramones, The Clash, and NOFX, the trio mixes original music with punk-rock favorites and plenty of youthful attitude.
In 2024, RLY ORY earned a Best New Band nomination from the Fort Collins Music Association Peer Awards and released their first two original songs, which were also pressed onto a limited-edition cassette that quickly sold out. Their latest original single, “Best Summer Ever,” followed in September 2025.
The band kept the momentum rolling throughout 2025 with 31 live shows and is now working on its debut full-length album with producer Clay Rose of the Gasoline Lollipops, slated for release in 2026.
RLY ORY will be performing during our Oddities Vendor Market! As always, live music (at the vendor market) are free to attend!
