Guide to Breweries and Craft Beer in Colorado

Everyone knows by now that Colorado is a mecca of craft breweries. They seem to pop up on another corner every week. Many of them offer free tours and even they don’t, they’ll still let you sample a few of their products.

Coloradoโ€™s best-known brewery is Coors. Tours of this mega brewery are offered daily in downtown Golden. Coloradoโ€™s other beer giant is Anheuser Busch. Located in Fort Collins, you can even see Budweiserโ€™s famous Clydesdales (affiliate link) at this branch of the midwest brewery.

Anheuser Busch purchased one of Coloradoโ€™s largest microbreweries, Breckenridge. Theyโ€™re still committed to the finest craft lagers and ales, brewed in Littleton, now just owned by a giant. Another craft brewer that skirts the line between a microbrewery and big-timer is New Belgium. Its flagship โ€œFat Tireโ€ is gaining notoriety throughout the U.S.

You can make a fun day out of touring breweries in the craft towns of Boulder and Fort Collins. Boulderโ€™s well-known brewers include Avery, Boulder Beer, and Upslope. And if you have extra time, Longmontโ€™s not far and features the fan-favorite Oskar Blues. Fort Collins has Odell, in addition to Budweiser and New Belgium. All are within a few minutes of each too.

No matter where you are in the Centennial State, a microbrewery is probably not far off. Even when there’s none, you can usually sample a wide variety of craft beer at a local bar. Mile High Happy Hour shows more than a thousand Denver happy hours for those in the capital region.
