Fort Collins

Fort Collins is one of the best-known craft beer towns in the country, and BarFinder's data backs that up directly: breweries are by far the largest venue category among the city's 161 listings, ahead of classic bars and sports bars combined with pubs. Home to New Belgium Brewing (maker of Fat Tire) and Odell Brewing, alongside Colorado State University, Fort Collins has built its identity around a real brewery-crawl culture - local spots like Zwei Brewing Co. and Gilded Goat Brewing Company add to an already deep lineup. It's one of the clearest examples on BarFinder of a city whose nightlife is defined by its beer scene.
