make a trip up to Ft. Collins.  Not only is it home to New Belgium Brewing and a host of other fine breweries, it is also home to Choice City Butcher & Deli.  Choice City is a great place to pick up a sandwich and/or a burger, and sample from their ever-changing list of beers.  When I was there last, they had Pliny the Elder and DFH 120 minute on tap!  Go and see for yourself…..those 2 beers are only 2 of many reasons why they have a top 10 spot on ratebeer.com’s best beer restaurants in the world.
above: If my memory serves me correctly, this is a Saison from Boulevard Brewing – Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale, a nice floral, citrusy Belgian.
below:Â Here is a shot of the beer list that day. Â This place is so busy, that they frequently empty a keg in a day or two. Â The list is constantly changing.
above:Â I can’t remember what beer this is, however, notice the tap handles in the background. Â Choice City nearly has a museum of pieces from some of the beers they have featured over the years. Â Here are a few more pics below.
