Yeah I went and did some tasters at Left Hand and the guy that was serving me just sat and talked **** about all the fort collins breweries.

Ha, that's funny Chad. I went there for a tour the weekend of last year's GABF and I had that same guy serving me (assuming they don't train all their servers to talk **** like that.)

Anyway, I thought they had some decent brews and I'll pick up Sawtooth every once in a rare while, but Dale's is far superior. The new Oscar Blues tasting room and tour are way cooler too. Beware anything of theirs that is cask aged though. I think you can only get it in the tasting room... not sure. Anyway, if you think their regular beers will add hair to your chest (or possibly strip it off if it touches it) the cask aged versions will make it jump off your chest and run away crying.

BTW, they do the cans for environmental reasons I believe. Don't ask me the details. I've been seeing New Belgian in cans recently too. Go figure.

I'd say we're pretty lucky in the beer department around here in general though. Thanks Charlie!

Chad, I agree, they do do it for environmental reasons. If it were up to me, as much as I like drinking from a bottle sometimes, I would like to see all brew go to can.

I have heard very good things about Oscar Blues new tasting room! I have yet to go but thought about meeting an old friend there this weekend. I hear the food it great too as they also expanded the menu. I hope the environment is still rustic/hippy/jazz like the old place. It felt comfortable in that place and I was sad when they said they were moving it.

I can't say for sure how it compares to their old location since I was never there, but I get the impression they tried to replicate at least the feel of it. It's a bit strange though, sitting in the corner of what is otherwise a giant warehouse as it is. You go into a fairly nondescript side-door in the warehouse and find yourself in a cool bar. My guess is you'll like it.

yep, sounds like the old place. I had no idea where to enter the old one the first time I went. I kept trying to get into the actual brewery part, but no tasting room was behind any of those doors. lol

Nice, that will be cool. I'll have to check it out. I'm guessing that he isn't going to be around at hops and berries as much.

This is random and doesnt fit into the conversation anywhere, unless I missed something, thats what I didnt understand. And yes I know what Fort Collins Brewery is.
