Fort Collins

Though Denver has plenty of great beer of its own, true hopheads will want to venture up to Fort Collins, one of the best day trips from Denver, Colorado. Located a short drive north of Denver, the city is becoming a mecca for microbreweries, headlined by the fast-growing, employee-owned New Belgium Brewing Co. You can sign up for a tour through many of the breweries, or find organized brewery-hopping tours on offer from Denver.

Fort Collins is also a great place to get outdoors. Fort Collins is a vibrant town full of local eateries, pubs, boutiques, and home to Colorado State University. With 300 days of sunshine, snow-capped mountains, idyllic lakes, and clear-running rivers, it is hard to deny that people like to get outdoors here all year round. Festivals in Fort Collins are not just for summertime. As the summer ends, a packed calendar of fun festivals and events in Fort Collins starts! Brace yourselves for adorable corgis in costumes, pumpkin patch family fun, a beautiful Dia De Los Muertos celebration in Old Town Square, and so much more!
