The New Belgium Brewing Company in Fort Collins is the maker of some of America’s favorite beers, most notably Fat Tire. The company has been located in Fort Collins since 1991 and now operates another brewery in Asheville, NC, as well.
It was established after its founder took a solo bike ride through Europe’s most famous beer villages on his “fat-tired” bicycle and returned home to create his own brews. Today, New Belgium is the fourth largest craft brewer and the eighth largest brewer overall in the United States. Tours to the brewery are available throughout the year. Visitors can learn about the brewing process and enjoy a tasting of the on-tap selection of the season.
