New School Tour

Highlights

Description

Get to know the “new school” of Fort Collins craft brewing on this 3-hour guided cart tour. Designed for beer lovers seeking something different, this relaxed, open-air ride introduces you to the city’s freshest breweries and most innovative brewers.

Your adventure begins downtown, where your guide welcomes you aboard a comfortable, street-legal electric cart. From there, you’ll visit emerging favorites like Stodgy Brewing Company, Salt Road Brewing, and Gilded Goat’s downtown taproom, wrapping up at New Belgium for a mix of classic and contemporary. Along the way, you’ll learn how Fort Collins’ next generation of brewers are reinventing traditional styles with bold creativity.

This tour balances tastings, conversation, and sightseeing with plenty of photo opportunities through Old Town’s historic streets. Drinks are purchased separately at each brewery, so you can choose your own tasting flight or stick with a favorite style. Private groups are welcome, and every participant receives exclusive merchandise discounts at New Belgium.

Perfect for friends, couples, or anyone curious about Colorado’s evolving beer culture, the New School Tour is your ticket to what’s next on tap in Fort Collins.
