Grinnell-on-the-Front Range: Fort Collins Brewery Crawl & Distillery Tour
Looking for Grinnell community and fun for Cinco de Mayo? Join Jake Joseph '11 and your Grinnell-on-the-Front Range community for an afternoon of visiting Fort Collins breweries and a distillery! With around 30 breweries in Fort Collins alone, it would take us years to cover them all. Nonetheless, we are excited to be organizing a tour for the second year in a row with an entirely different itinerary. This year, we will tour Odell’s Brewery and Copper Muse Distillery, and then end for dinner at one of the top 25 ranked beer bars in the country: The Mayor of Old Town. Join us for the tours if you can, and come and go as you're able throughout the day! Look for the Grinnell shirts and signs to find our group.
