🍻 Fort Collins Beer Week Is Back, Baby!

June 16–22, 2025 | 20 Breweries | 10 Collab Beers | 1 Legendary Tap Takeover

After nearly a decade on hiatus, Fort Collins Beer Week is back—and it’s bigger, bolder, and foamier than ever. From smoked helles to berry farmhouse ales, 20 local breweries have teamed up to craft 10 brand-new collab brews, pouring all week long starting Monday, June 16 at 1 PM. Each beer is brewed with love (and probably a lot of hops) and will be tapped at its host and guest breweries throughout town.

But wait—there’s more than just sipping. Join free “Tap Talks” hosted by brewers, maltsters, and fermentation nerds all week long, from hops grown in Colorado to the magic of barrel-aging. Then cap it all off on Sunday, June 22 from 12–4 PM at Tap & Handle for the grand finale Tap Takeover: all 10 collab beers, all in one place. Click here for the schedule.

Highlights Include:

🗓 Free Tap Talks All Week

📍 Equinox, Coopersmith’s, Horse & Dragon, Verboten, Gilded Goat, and more

🍺 Collab Beers Like:

– Smoked Helles at Maxline
