Brewery Crawl in Fort Collins, CO

While staying in Denver we made a day trip to Fort Collins. We initially planned on just going to New Belgium Brewing, but with over 20 craft breweries we just couldn’t help ourselves. We ended up going to 4 breweries that day! Mark did a free 45 min. tour of New Belgium while I sat outside with our dog, Louie, in the shade. They had a food truck and apparently they often have live music too. They had tons of outdoor seating areas, one of them with an airstream that set the vibe.

Odell Brewing had the most inviting outdoor seating area with lots of trees and cute seating areas. The trees offered lots of much-needed shade.

Snow Bank Brewing did not have the most aesthetically pleasing venue, but the beer was so delicious and unique! My favorite was the Peach Vanilla Amber.

We then headed to The Exchange, a little area in Old Town that has various restaurants, bars, a mini put-put area, and The Churn ice cream. Within this area we chose to eat at Penrose, which turned out to be another brewery. It overlooked the center of The Exchange, and was a fun place to eat and people-watch.
