I know we had talked about doing this tour last year, but it never materialized. Is there still any interest in it? We would probably do it sometime this summer. If I remember right, in order to do the "VIP" tour you have to have a group of 20 or more, but it includes some special things the normal tours don't get, like you get to taste beer right from the vat, and you get to see some of the things that are restricted to the normal tours.
It would be a free tour.
Is there any interest in this still? I used to go on the Coors Brewery tour like once a year with my parents when I was a kid because they were always looking for free stuff to do with tourists in town, but haven't gone since I was 8 or 9 years old.

BEER...FREE...GOOD!!!!!!
Let me know enough in advanced and I'll be there.
New Belgium is a great place, but it's in Fort Collins. Probably a bit far for a big group.
As for Coors, I worked there for a while, so I don't think anything would be new, but if I can make it on the day picked, I'll tag along.

Ft collins for free Beer? Sure, but we have to stop by Budweiser. Anyhow, free beer is free beer. I'd be up for it.

yeah i know.. and thank you! but like i have had to tell a couple people. we are married! and i have never beleved in devorce.. i also belive in second chances.. plus we have a family together, and then the obvious that i do love her very much and allways will... so all that equals to a second chance to see if we can make it work. plus i have allways heard that the first 2 years of being married is the hardest... i just feel we owe it to each outher and ourselfs to try... so please knowing what you all know, be nice to her and not hold it against her, everything that has happend. i would really like to share the events in this club with her, and hey if it gets shity again and she leaves me again we allways have anouther reason to go to hooters! j/k.. but i am very thankfull to all of you for being there with and for me when all that crap went down!

New Belgium isn't a very big brewery compared to your coors or budweiser. however, i haven't been in NB since they added on to it. When we went to NB a couple years back it was pretty much a short self guided tour then you would sit down at a table and get to sample their brews. We also have the Odell's brewery and i believe the newer one is called the fort collins brewery. So, you could get pretty snockered up by visiting all these breweries in half a day....believe me i know :D. I do believe that in old town you can sample some brews at coopersmiths, and possibly a couple others. I haven't had time to hit the breweries with trying to finish up school and work. So if you do decide to come my way i'll point you in the right direction.
I love O'Dells as well. Can't go wrong when you can take your own beer jug and have it refilled.

we used to load up our growlers with a variety of brews for parties....$10 for your first growler and a fill, then i think it was $6 from then on. not a bad price for the quality of liquor you got.

That's what they cost when I was there. Can't beat $6 for a gallon of Easy Street.
But I don't know that I ever did that for parties. Usually just the laid back studying nights.
