Gonna be working in Greeley for a few days, but evenings are 100% free. I have a car. I can choose a hotel anywhere in Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland etc. area. Where is the best place to stay in order to put me on foot and walking for beer each night?

I guess the Q is, if you had the freedom, where would you park yourself for a few days?

TIA.

Well....thanks for the Ft. Collins advice! As for the offer, these days my beer drinking is a little more refined/leisurely than yours appears to be! Not really a ’ticker’ per se, but I do like a very wide range and like to do as much as I can on every road trip.

Follow-up Q. Are beer places amenable to impromptu bottle shares if I cart beer with me to CO?

If money is not an issue, I would stay at the Armstrong Hotel in downtown Fort Collins ($200+ per night). Literally steps away from Choice City (great food) and Tap ’n’ Handle, the two best beer bars in town. There’s a few breweries within walking distance as well (Equinox, Coopersmiths, Pateros Creek). Make sure to stop by WeldWerks in Greeley as well. Tick some beers and get tanked bud ;)

These days I’m more into AirBnB. So choose a place that’s walking distance to the bars/breweries you want to visit (especially if it’s walking distance to the last one of the night) and see what AirBnB has to offer.

Twitter account @BeerFortCollins just confirmed no bottle shares. I knew it was not formally allowed, but assumed that in such a HUGE beer culture area that it would be (for want of a better word), ’cool’. I’m actually shocked. Stunned.

Well, it’s probably related to the fact that Colorado is one of a small-ish list of states that doesn’t permit corkage, i.e. bringing your own wine/etc. to a restaurant. So public venues would certainly not allow it here. But obviously bottle shares organized by individuals at someone’s house would be possible.
