Austin's American Grill in Fort Collins is known for their beer cheese soup but I've not had it. Bought a fantastic slab of beer cheese from a local cheesemaker, MouCo, in Fort Collins at the local farmer's market last weekend but I don't think that's what you're asking about.
September 5, 20223 yr Where can I get the Beer Cheese like they had at baby Doe's?That shit was awesome. No idea where to get it these days.
September 11, 20223 yr If you know how to make queso you can make beer cheese soup. This specific beer cheese soup was better than any I've had. Don't know what their secret was.
September 12, 20223 yr This specific beer cheese soup was better than any I've had. Don't know what their secret was. The unfortunate secret was probably it was a Sysco mix made by the tub. Lots of places do that shit. I worked in a rib joint in school and folks raved about the secret recipe bbq sauce. It was nothing but number 10 cans of Kraft barbecue sauce. Split between regular and hot, which just had a cup of cayenne dumped in per gallon.

September 23, 20223 yr Not exactly Denver, but I’m heading up to Fort Collins for the weekend. Plan to try some fly fishing on Saturday morning, then check out some breweries and such. I’ve been to New Belgium about 10 years ago but that’s it. Appreciate any brewery or food recs.
September 23, 20223 yr Can't go wrong with anything in Old Town, but for a Saturday night I'd try to make a reservation now. Ginger and Baker for Sunday breakfast on the way out of town.
September 23, 20223 yr In Ft. Collins, Horse & Dragon Brewery is very good. Get breakfast at Silver Grill Cafe. Grab some giant cinnamon rolls to go. Perfect fuel for a hiking snack. Edited September 23, 20223 yr by CooterBrown
September 23, 20223 yr I haven't spent a ton of time in FC, but we were up there on a college visit this summer, and there are definitely a ton of great breweries. As for me, I'm very partial to Equinox in the Old Town area. Love the brews and the chill atmosphere. There's a fly shop just down the block, although I didn't make it there. Cooper Smiths has decent food and okay brews, but sitting on their back patio is very pleasant. I didn't get to hit Funkwerks this time and it's been years, but it was great back then. I'll second Ginger and Baker, very good for breakfast.
September 24, 20223 yr @wild_turkeyJust saw your post, hope this helps. My favorite breweries in town are Zvei and Stodgy. Neither offers food but there's usually a food truck, and Zvei is close to fast food or a sandwich shop. Stodgy is a renovated old retail building and the front is grassy and shady, with picnic tables littered about. Zvei is german style and recently expanded so offer more outdoor seating options. Agree, New Belgium's patio is tough to beat. Rally King is also excellent but in a strip mall next to an axe throwing place, if that's your thing. Their beer covers a wide gamut. A ton of new breweries have opened - there's so many and it's difficult to go wrong. Food - it's not exactly a foodie town. Near campus and old town - Avogardos, The 415, Slyce Pizza Company, Choice City (Burgers, sandwiches). Chinese noodles - Beijing Noodle House is the real thing Thai - Kinn Thai Breakfast near Old Town - Mugs, Rainbow. Silver Creek if it doesn't have a long wait. Breakfast around Town - Original Pancake House (not ihop), First Watch, La Creperie Nicer places in Old Town - Sonny Lubick's, Philippe Bistro and French Bakery Fried chicken - Music City Hot Chicken, Backyard Chicken & Donuts (a short drive from Fort Collins) Food truck - yellow food truck serving tacos in front of Jax Outdoor on N College Edited September 24, 20223 yr by Chopper
September 25, 20223 yr Thanks for the recs. We had a fantastic time. The weather was damn near perfect.Friday we went to New Belgium, then ate dinner at Jax Fish House, then went to The Whiskey barSaturday we had Silver City for breakfast, then did a guided fly fishing trip with St. Peter’s Fly Shop on the Poudre River, then beers and a late lunch at Odell, then beers at Funkwerks, then pizza somewhere I don’t remember, then sleep. I understand there was some college football played somewhere yesterday but I didn’t have time for that bullshit.I can’t say enough good things about St. Peter’s Fly Shop. We had 2 guides for 4 guys and they were excellent. None of us had ever been fly fishing, it was just something I wanted to try and I convinced friends to also give it ago. The fly shop provided everything, all of us caught at least one fish, and it was just an all around badass way to spend a beautiful fall day.

And people make fun of PAC 12 country for not having the same enthusiasm for CFB lol. I wouldn't either if I had access to this on the weekend. Sounds like a great trip.

Didn’t tell her that I knew any of you assholes, though. Mousse on the left and apple donuts on the right.
January 20, 20232 yr What’s the point of wearing that loose of a top if you’re not pulling out a titty for the pic. Negged.

Children's Museum of Denver Dinosaur Ridge Park Echo Mountain Snow Tubing Arvada Apex Center if kids would be interested in seeing bison in the wild, the wildlife drive in Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is cool. also seen tons of deer and a couple coyotes. quite scenic no matter what and a way to kill an hour or so, anyways. Denver also has a nice Nature and Science Museum, adjacent to City Park. don't know if your kids would be interested but the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space museum in the Lowry area is pretty cool (the whole neighborhood is former AFB). there's a family friendly biergarten across the parking lot. there's also a brand new Denver Brewery that just opened in Lowry (like its been open two weeks) - burger is legit. not sure where you're staying, but you mentioned breweries...the Breckenridge Brewery in Littleton is very cool, great HH menu. seen lots of kids there.

March 10, 20232 yr Cog railway is pretty cool. If it’s nice outside you could take the kids to Garden of the Gods and let them blow off some steam. The cave dwellings in Manitou Springs were also family-friendly. I realize this is putting you south of your stay, but it’s not a terrible drive.
April 1, 20232 yr Just had dinner at iFish Sushi down the street from Coors Field. Solid. Will definitely be back
July 17, 20232 yr Overheard in Colorado today: “Texans are always highly impressed with everything they do.”Lulz. He ain’t wrong.
July 21, 20232 yr Samosa soup, tea leaf salad, and si chet khao swe (garlic oil noodles) at Urban Burma in Aurora, imo.
July 22, 20232 yr more Colorado than just Denver, but i can't think of where to post these and i want to share bc they are absolutely ridiculous...camping in Chatfield SP this last week...phone, no filter at all 😮🤩 didn't even look real!

Our waitress was a cute little brunette from Austin. Didn’t tell her that I knew any of you assholes, though. Mousse on the left and apple donuts on the right. I want to thank you for the recommendation. Last weekend I did the tasting menu: Polpo spagnolo: crispy spanish octopus, eggplant caponata, pine nuts, red pepper coulis, purple mizuna Agnolotti del plin: piemontese pinches of pasta filled with ground veal, sage brown butter, parmigiano-reggiano Anatra di barolo: barolo-style braised duck, kalamata olives, seasonal vegetables, roasted garlic potatoes Granita di pesche: palisade peach granita, vanilla crema, cardamom meringues Instead of doing the wine pairings, I just had a glass of Barbaresco Riserva ‘Basarin’ Punset 2014 Piemonte and Barolo Riserva ‘Bricco Fiasco’ Azelia 2013 Piemonte. The wine was delicious. The food quite good. The octopus was the star. The pasta was very good, but quite small serving even for a tasting menu. The duck was good, but nothing special. Peach desert very refreshing. Overall a relaxing 2 hour meal. I will say, the main dining area was very loud. Glad to be in the smaller room off the main.
June 27, 20241 yr I think I’m doing Denver wrong. I didn’t venture outside of downtown this trip, but it was a completely uninspired restaurant and bar scene. And also hot AF, just for fun. It’s giving me strong to very strong Atlanta with mountains vibes. Airport hub city with mediocre food and $20 cocktails on every corner.
June 27, 20241 yr Denver is perhaps the only major city not on a navigable body of water in the U.S. it’s only there for the gold rush. Rock and grass are the only products. When we lived there 20 years ago it was very midwestern; might as well been Des Moines or Sioux Falls.

If you couldn't find good food and drink, you're definitely doing it wrong. But yes, it's been hot lately.
June 28, 20241 yr Downtown is a heat sponge with all the concrete. Tennyson St between 38th and 44th is a great area for restaurants and breweries.

Add South Broadway to the brewery crawl list. There are some good ones down there. Downtown, I like Wood Boss Brewing. IMO, they have one of the best hazy IPAs in the country...The Oswald. Jagged Mountain, Great Divide, and Wynkoop are all within walking distance.
June 28, 20241 yr I was just there. Ate great, drank great. Didn't go downtown once. Closest was the Highlands.
June 28, 20241 yr Downtown Denver is ass. LoHi, RiNo, Cherry Creek, and Tennyson St are where the food and bev scene is at.
June 28, 20241 yr mdleast and I are headed to Denver in mid-August to watch some baseball. We plan to rent a car to tool around the Rocky Mountains NP and Boulder. What's the best place to stay to be in the middle of things? We don't have to stay downtown since we'll have a car. Will definitely pour through the thread for food and beer places. I've been there briefly and went to Epic Brewing before jumping on a bus to Red Rocks.
