ANNIVERSARY BEERS

+

It's hard to believe that our 1 year anniversary is only a few short months away! I'm happy to report that Andrew and I will be taking a much needed trip to celebrate. We will be headed to Fort Collins, Colorado for a few nights and lots of beers.

Andrew's cousin, Kayci, will be tying the knot in Denver on August 31. The next day, we will pack up our things and start trucking north. We will be staying at a cute hotel, drinking lots of beer, and enjoying our time together before we have to drive 384 hours home. (Actual driving time to be determined.)

Ryan and Dee (Andrew's cousin and uncle) stayed with us on Friday night and were more than happy to tell us about some great places to eat, drink, and be merry while we are there. I'm looking forward to Snooze. They aren't the first ones to tell us that this place is a must. Cinnamon roll pancakes? Heck yes! I'm on vacation!

Also, last week we learned that New Belgium will not be offering tours while we are there because it is Tour de Fat. We had no idea that this would be going on while we were initially planning our trip, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bummed we wouldn't be able to see in inner working of their factory. But I have heard good things about their yearly biking/beer festival. Has anyone been before? Advice? Andrew thought that maybe now would be a good time to purchase the bike rack we had been talking about for awhile. I couldn't agree more!


Any other can't miss sites to see while in the area?

  1. Odell Brewing Co and Funk Works - you must go there. There are a couple of other good breweries (besides NB) but definitely try to get to these two. Also, Beau jo's Pizza is really good, dip their crust in honey mmm. There's also a really cool vinegar/olive oil company in the little ped mall area. The owners are really nice. Fort Collins is amazing, you two will have lots of fun your night there :)

  3. Oh! And Snooze was so good, everything about it. If you're up for it, do the pancake flight and try three different pancaks...fantastic!
