Destination

Among the scenic Rocky Mountains, top-class ski resorts, river rafting, hiking and almost any kind of outdoor activity you can think of, Colorado is known for its craft beer. It’s a billion dollar business in the state, home to more than 140 craft breweries. It’s a beer lover’s dreamland, and the tours offered give an experience you won’t forget no matter how much you’ve had to drink. If you’re coming from lower elevation, drink as much water as you are drinking beer. The elevation can make everything sneak up on you.

New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins

New Belgium tops the list for the entertainment factor of the tour guides. No matter how old you are, they’ll bring out the spirits of a college kid. You’ll see the history of the trailer it started in and see firsthand its massive growth into one of the top craft breweries in the nation. After you’ve tasted some of the most illustrative beers on the market, you can take a bike ride through the outdoor section of the facilities, which by the way is recycled.

The tour is perfect for the spontaneous kind of traveler mainly because they don’t require reservations. Stop in at anytime to catch a tour, taste some creatively named beers and hang out for some live music on Thursdays and Sundays.

 

Wynkoop Brewing in Denver

Before Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper entered politics, he founded Wynkoop Brewing in the heart of the city. It’s a can’t-miss stop if you’re visiting the city, rich with history and always unique flavors. After the tour, head upstairs to the bar for billiards or downstairs to the basement for an improv show.
