really?!? were you held hostage on some sort of brewery tour?!? 
When it comes to women, clearly my hypocrisy knows no boundaries. Her family lives outside of Fort Collins and wine tasting in the area seemed like a really bad idea. I figured the worst that could happen is that I could just eat a bunch of fried food. WRONG. Turns out in CO if you have tasting, you can't serve food. So I just drank a bunch of beer.
sounds awesome. taste anything good?
I took a photo at every place we went with the list of beers they were tasting. Some were good, some were bad. I tend to avoid wheat based beers for health reasons, had some decent IPA's, some really nice nut-brown ale's, liked New Belgian and Equinox the most, didn't quite understand Funkwerks though their collaboration was nice, and would like to be part of the "beer naming group" at Big Beaver.
Nice. Any favorites among that bunch? Good for you that you were in Fort Collins and hit those and skipped Anheiser Busch.
Miller would have been tempting, AB was not. Was told that there's a difference between "Coors" and "Banquet Coors" though, which I think is BS.
As far as favorites, it's hard to say. I knew when I had a beer I didn't like, that's for sure. At New Belgian I really liked the 1554, Sunshine and Rolle Bolle. At Funkwerks the aforementioned Fort Collins Collaboration 2013. At Equinox the Flux Capacitator, Cumulis Wit and whatever their nut brown was called. At Big Beaver, the names are all awesome, and I liked the Beaver Crew English Pale, Bust-a-Nut Brown Ale and the Big Woody 3.0 Ale.
Denver/Fort Collins/ Boulder/ Rocky Mountain National Park is our likely family vacation destination in 2014. For the hiking of course. Wouldn't want to be one of those guys who plans a vacation based on beer.
I go there 2-3 times a year these days and have enjoyed myself every time. I prefer late spring and late summer as I'm not a snow guy.
