Fort Collins has no lack of great craft breweries, but that doesn’t make saying goodbye to one any easier. This weekend Fort Collins Brewery is saying farewell to the city they have served for 14 years. The brewery was sold to Canada based Red Truck Beer Company in May 2017. Red Truck is discontinuing the Fort Collins Brewery brand and closing the brewery, as they plan on opening their own brewpub in this space next […]
The beer scene is booming in Fort Collins. In the past few days, two new breweries have opened their doors. Well, sort of. Brewery number one is new, and brewery number two is Three Four, who has been selling beer for a while, just not Three Four Beer beer. Confused? It’s simple really! Below is a quick preview of both new breweries. We hope to make the trek out to Fort Collins to visit them […]
In our last post, we visited the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Fort Collins. Sure, visiting the big beer maker was interesting, but no visit to Fort Collins is complete without checking out their incredible craft beer scene. In previous trips, we’ve already visited New Belgium Brewing, Odell Brewing, and Fort Collins Brewing Co. This time we decided to get through a few more new, or new to us, craft brewing spots. There is certainly not a […]
On Saturday, January 3rd Jeff and I ventured into the belly of the beast: We embarked on the Budweiser Tour at Anheuser-Busch in Fort Collins. We know what you’re thinking and, yes, we normally prefer our brewery quite a bit craftier. But one day we hope to succeed at visiting every brewery in Colorado, and every brewery includes the big ones. We decided on a whim to scratch this one off our list.
Since we’d hit Fort Collins, we’d already visited Fort Collins Brewery and New Belgium Brewing. The next and final stop on our brewery tour was Odell Brewing Company.
The second stop on our Fort Collins birthday weekend tour: New Belgium Brewing Company, baby! We were supposed to be here for my birthday last year, but a blizzard kept us away. We scheduled this tour months ago and thankfully, the weather was perfect this time around. Score!
A few months ago, Jeff and I were headed to Longmont for a bike ride when we snuck in a quick detour to Fort Collins. Despite being in town just a couple of hours, we were able to make three brewery stops, albeit very quick ones. We promised that someday we’d be back to spend more time with these great breweries, and maybe we’d even bring our friends. Well, consider it done! We decided to […]
If you are looking for great Colorado craft beer, Fort Collins has more than enough great spots to get your fix. During our day in Fort Collins we had already visited New Belgium Brewing and Fort Collins Brewery. Last but not least, we made a stop at Odell Brewing Company.
The plans for this weekend started small enough. We registered for the G’Knight Ride, a 10-mile ride around Longmont sponsored by Oskar Blues Brewing. Combining our love of biking with our love of beer seemed like a great time. As ride day approached, we decided it might be fun to make a weekend of our trip to northern Colorado. From there, things quickly snowballed to a full-fledged brewery exploration trip. For our first stop, we […]
