Fort Collins is known to many as the microbrewing capital of the world, and there are over 15 breweries right in our own backyard ripe for the exploring. From small, on the come-up breweries like Rally King Brewing, to large-scale powerhouse operations like New Belgium, Fort Collins really is microbrewing heaven.

Old Town is the home to the majority of Fort Collins’ breweries such as Odell and Pateros Creek. It is also the home to Snowbank Brewing as well as Horse & Dragon. The amount of breweries in this area is so densely populated that they have given birth to entire businesses based on going from one brewery to another in a given afternoon. The Magic Bus Tours offers guided trips to all of the major breweries in Fort Collins on a limo that includes tours and tastings from all of the most popular spots.

While most breweries in Fort Collins can be found in Old Town, West Campus is the home of CB & Potts Brewery, and just a little south of campus is the home of Black Bottle Brewing. Even further south is the home to Zwei Brewery and 1933 Brewing Company, as well as numerous locations in Loveland such as Verboten and Crow Hop.
