Vancouver’s Red Truck Beer Company is about to open a new Truck Stop and Brewery in Fort Collins, Colorado!
Red Truck Beer has always been inspired by road trips and has embarked on its biggest and most exciting road trip yet: a new brewery and Truck Stop in the craft beer mecca of Fort Collins, Colorado.
After months of renovations and building, brewing and testing, the brewery opens to the public on Saturday, unveiling a list that runs 18 beers deep, showcasing Red Truck’s four flagship beers alongside 14 other rotating, seasonal and Fort Collins-specific taps.
Much like Vancouver’s Truck Stop, Fort Collins will feature full calendar of live music, a collection of vintage red trucks and culture community events.
Modern craft beer culture was born in America; from the start, Red Truck Beer has aimed to share its beer, story and brand with American beer lovers.
Having started down the path of conventional cross-border distribution, Red Truck changed course and decided to take the unusual step of buying a domestic brewery to brew and sell its beers in the US, becoming the first Canadian brewery to do so in over a decade.
With a population of just 164,000, Fort Collins punches far above its weight in the beer scene, home to roughly two dozen breweries alongside a number of beer bars and tap halls.
Fort Collins just felt right to the Red Truck team, with a year-round outdoor adventure lifestyle similar to Vancouver’s.
Together with a new location, a new website has just launched to reflect the full spectrum of Red Truck culture and operations.
“From our first visit, we could see that Fort Collins was a hub for first class brewing,” said Red Truck Beer Company General Manager Jim Dodds. “We wanted to join this passionate community of brewers and beer lovers and share our love of beers and brewing with them.”
Red Truck Beer Fort Collins will offer tours, tastings, growler fills and hearty classic diner eats. Packaged beer will be available shortly after opening day. Next stop for Red Truck? Denver.
