FoCoBrews brings together all your favorite breweries in the Fort Collins area to one website. We make it easy to fill you in with what beers are IN SEASON and what each brewery has planed either through EVENTS in food pairing and music shows, as well as what it takes for a TOUR. Here at FoCoBrews we understand the love for beer and what to keep everyone up to date on all breweries so they are not searching every brewery website for whats going on. We are also holding SURVEYS to see what you all think of the breweries and what your favorite beer is! There is also a BLOG where we post what we experience from the breweries, as well as a CONTEST for label designs for six packs!
Odell Doug Wynne and Corkie Odell started brewing in 1989 in the outskirts of downtown Fort Collins. They had immediate success and were only the second microbrewery to open up in Colorado. 90 Shilling and Easy Street Wheat were the two fist beers to be perfected by Doug. Now, they have an 45,000 square foot brewery making 45,000 barrels of beer. They are constantly looking for ways to improve and create better beer while their company continues to grow. “Experimentation with beer recipes, barrel aging and yeast cultivation coupled with our dedication to our customers and each other keep our creative juices flowing and our reputation for excellent, innovative beers growing.”
