After a 10-year hiatus, Fort Collins Beer Week is returning to the Craft Beer Capital of Colorado. From June 16-22, 2025, 20 Fort Collins breweries will come together to craft collaboration brews and host a handful of educational “tap talks” throughout the week in a celebration of the city’s vibrant and storied beer scene.
Each of the 20 FCBW collaboration beers has been created at a host brewery and features 2-3 guest brewers. These beers span a vast range of beer styles: easy-drinking lagers, offbeat IPAs, and inventive takes on old styles. Each beer will be tapped at its host brewery, and guest breweries, on Monday, June 16 at 1 pm.

Fort Collins Beer Week will conclude with a tap takeover celebration at Tap and Handle on Sunday, June 22, from 12 - 4 p.m. All collaboration brews and representatives from each participating brewery will be present.
“Beer Week is back because Fort Collins deserves to be celebrated as the birthplace of craft beer in Colorado,” said Natalie Yoder, co-owner of Stodgy Brewing Co. “Our community of brewers—new and legendary—has only grown stronger. We’re reigniting the tradition to showcase collaboration, creativity, and the vibrant culture that makes Fort Collins a must-visit for any beer lover.”
Created in 2014, Fort Collins Beer Week initially served as a local leadup to the now-defunct Colorado Brewers Festival. The celebration ran for three years, last held in 2016.
