Road trip to Colorado. Part II.

The remaining part of my trip was planned to be spent in Fort Collins with Audra and her husband, Cory. I headed up to their place Friday morning for the weekend. We ran errands during the afternoon, and got ready for a fun night out!

We started with wine and cheese at the Welsh Rabbit Cheese Shop. The place was so cute and quaint, and the wine was delicious!


Our next stop was The Mayor. They have a very extensive beer menu with over 100 beers on tap. Now if you know me, you know I'm not much of a beer drinker - well, I never step out of my comfort zone, which is Coors Light. Fort Collins, known for their craft beers, I had to give some others a chance. I'm glad I did so because I found a new favorite. New Belgium Accumulation White IPA.



Our last stop of the evening was Scrumpy's, which is a cider bar. I've never heard or been to a such place. I tried Tray B, which 9 different kinds of cider beers. I couldn't even tell you which one was my favorite because they eventually started to taste the same.


On Saturday, we all woke up and set out on our brewery tour. We biked about an hour to where all the popular breweries were. The weather was perfect for our bike ride and made for a fun day!


We stopped at Fort Collins Brewery for lunch at Gravity. Great beer, great food, and they had the K-State game on. Prime spot!



We finished lunch and rode our bikes over to the Odell Brewery. We tasted several beers, and moved on to our next stop...


...New Belgium Brewery. The weather was perfect to sit outside and there we had a few more tasters before getting a spot on the brewery tour.



The tour was great, plus we got 5 more samples along the way! We ended our evening at our 4th stop, Coopersmith's Pub and Brewery for dinner, then it was time to head home.



Part III of my trip will be following!
