Fri July 17
My first full day in Fort Collins and the moment I have been anticipating had finally arrived, I was going to the New Belgium Brewery! The only bad part is that I was a bit hungover. We grabbed some lunch first at a great BBQ place and I had a hopeful “hair of the dog” cure, it was rough but I drank it, although it was a great coconut rum porter.. Next we got to the New Belgium Brewery and I got my own private tour, which lasted at least 3 hours. I tried a pretty good variety of beers, and amazingly the hangover held strong. The brewery and the people I met that work there were great and it made me wish I was younger and working there. After the tour, I took an obligatory siesta, still in search of a cure, to no avail. That night we went back into old town and had a great dinner and I had a mixed drink as I couldn’t stomach another beer this day, and I had skipped a tequila nightcap this time.
