The Mayor of Fort Collins
Today, I went on a Bus Tour of the Fort Collins Breweries with the Brewnion Colony Homebrew Club.
This is the fridge for the Mayor of Fort Collins. They have 100 taps and each one has a computer chip attached to the line that tells the amount poured, the carbonation level, and the temperature. When a new keg is put on, the system automatically sends a tweet to their followers.
Interworkings
Odell's
First stop was Odells. I was wearing my Blackbird shirt and the women behind the bar recognized it. When she asked, I told her that I designed it and he said that her husband was the one who brewed it! She gave me a free beer!
Simcoe
Randy holds up a box of Simcoe hops at Odells. Simcoe is a proprietary hop that is in shortage this year.
Funkwerks
Stop number 4 was at Funkwerks, a Saison brewery that used to be the Fort Collins Brewery (which was stop number 3)
Pateros Creek
Final Stop
The final stop was at New Belgium Brewery.
