Fort Collins Bike and Brewery Tour

Monday November 2, 2009

Like beer? Like bikes? Then you'll love the tour laid out for you in Ft. Collins, Colorado, where you can spend a happy afternoon pedaling from one microbrewery to another on this fabulous beer tour. Starting in the town's historic Old Square district, this happy bike ride takes you to three different microbreweries in relatively close proximity to each other before the final stop at New Belgium Brewery. You probably know New Belgium, which --while still technically a microbrewery, I suppose -- has taken its Fat Tire Ale to beer lovers across the country and beyond, and is well known to cyclists for the great events they put on in cities across the U.S. which include the Tour de Fat, the Urban Assault Ride plus their Team Wonderbike group.

Located 50 miles north of Denver, Ft. Collins is easy to get to from just about anywhere in the U.S. They're so set on making this fun and workable for visitors, free loaner bikes are available in the town square. In addition to the bike/brewery tour, the area features lots of great road riding and mountain biking.
