My family and I visited the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, CO on 1/7/2014.
The tour is fun, FREE and takes about 90 mins including a goodly amount of beer tasting.
We tasted Coconut Curry Hefeweizen, Erbys Loose Lips, Shift Pale Lager, Blue Paddle Pilsener-Lager,
Le Terroir sour beer, Sunshine Wheat, and a Cigar City collaborative chilli brew called Lips of Faith.
Here are some pics that you might like:
The main entrance on a very cold day (about 20 degrees F):
Dave, our tour guide. He applied 10 years in a row before getting the job with New Belgium.
He started the tour drinking water.
The main brewing vessels, all imported from Germany:
The big-ass fermenting tanks:
Wooden barrels for creating really sour beer; we tried before and after -- SWMBO preferred before;
son appears to be drunk:
Employee climbing wall / sobriety test; Dave has switched to beer by now:
One of many, many New Belgium employee bikes:
