Fort Collins produces some nice beer. Our two largest breweries are
New Belgium and Odells. NB Fat Tire is probably the most popular beer
in town and definitely worth a try. They distribute it everywhere. I
don't know whether it's considered a pale or an amber. It doesn't have
much toast flavor. Odells has a new pale called 5 Barrel which is
extremely hoppy. I'm a big fan. I don't think Odells is as widely
distributed, but look for it if you like hoppy.
