No trip to Northern Colorado is complete without a stop in for an ice cold beer from New Belgium. Often you can find a musician or small festival of some sort going on in their large turf outdoor space on weekend. A great spot for a delicious craft beer.

A new favorite brewery of ours that is only ~8 mins from the house. They have a 'peculier' selection of beers with a wide variety of unique offerings. They also have a small kitchen attached with some tasty pub style dishes.
They have a large space with a nice outdoor patio.
This is definitely more of a hidden gem than some of the mainstream craft breweries I like in fort collins, and well worth a visit!

Food scene
This is a favorite of ours for Brunch, Happy Hour, and cocktails. They have a robust selection of craft cocktails and excellent mixologist. The food has always been very tasty, though it should be noted their menu is quite small. The prices are not cheap but also not too expensive. $15-25 per entrée and $9-15 craft cocktails.
It has a pleasant setting underneath the historic windsor mill.

A higher end dining option (mostly Italian cuisine) with a intimate setting. Happy hour does provide some good bargains on wine and appetizers.
