Breweries

Colorado is know for having some of the best breweries in the country, and Thrillist decided to get science involved to find the best of them all.

The grand opening of the new Anheuser-Busch Brewery Biergarten is this Friday (December 5) from 5 to 8 p.m., and you can enjoy their first "Fire Pit Friday."

Adding to the growing Fort Collins beer landscape is Anheuser-Busch who is in the middle of construction of a new restaurant and beer garden that is schedule to open later this month.

This year's Great American Brew Festival and competition, or GABF for short, starts this Thursday at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.

There are only about two or three channels I watch on TV when I get really bored. One of them that never seems to disappoint is the Travel Channel. With shows like "Bizarre Foods," "Food Paradise," and "Man Vs. Food" there always seems to be something decent on.

Fort Collins' beer scene just keeps getting bigger and better. Last month we saw the cities 13th brewery, 1933, open it's doors. Now, if my math is correct, Fort Collins will soon see it's 14th brewery when Horse & Dragon Brewery opens up on May 1st.

When you think of Seattle you think of coffee shops on every corner. Soon, when you think of Fort Collins, you may just think about breweries on every corner! And I don't know about you, but I think I will take beer and mountains over coffee and rain any day!

I'm not sure it's possible to live in Fort Collins and not know at least a little bit about New Belgium Brewing Company. Well, the Fort Collins-born purveyor of Fat Tire, Sunshine and many of your favorite beers has released a packaging refresh for all of their products.

The federal government shutdown is creating some unintended consequence for craft brewers across the country. The shutdown has closed a small agency that is in charge of approving new breweries, beer recipes and beer labels. That could mean bad news for some Northern Colorado breweries, but not all of them.

When you think of Fort Collins, you think of craft beer. Even if you don't drink beer and you think of Fort Collins, you still think of craft beer. It's a big part of our community and some local breweries are teaming up to build a Habitat For Humanity home in town for a family that lost their home last summer in the High Park Fire.

Ever since the Beach House in Fort Collins closed down, I've been chomping at the bit for info on the new ale house taking it's place. Finally, a very important tidbit has been released: the new place's name!

When brewers get together for the annual Colorado Brewers' Festival in each June there are normally over 70 different breweries represented from around the state. That number continues to grow each year too. To say beer drinkers are spoiled in Colorado and especially Northern Colorado is an understatement. What is you favorite local brewery?
