• Tour Western-themed brewery with craft beers

The experience

You'll start at Homa, a handpie and cafe spot inside a boutique hotel, then move through downtown on foot, stopping at the old County Courthouse, now a museum of Western history, before heading into a Western-themed brewery where rustic charm and cowboy vibes frame the craft beer experience. The second brewery, Mash Mechanix, occupies a renovated building with an exposed-brick tasting room where the beers are the focus. Between locations, your guide weaves in local art and history, so the walk itself is part of the experience, not just the connective tissue.

The 8+ tastings pair Colorado favorites: pork green chile, a BBQ chicken slider, and homemade pretzel bites round out the beer sampling. You'll learn beer-making facts and trivia as you go, and the behind-the-scenes brewery access gives you a real sense of how these operations work, not just the finished product. The whole thing runs 2.5 hours and stays laid-back. The guide is there to be your local best friend, not to lecture.

The tour is wheelchair accessible, and public transportation options are nearby if you want to skip the walk to your starting point. Service animals are welcome. This is not recommended for pregnant travelers or anyone with cardiovascular concerns, and it's not a good fit if you need gluten-free options.
