The Biergarten, an Anheuser-Busch Venture, Launches in Fort Collins

Two things are still very hot: Beer gardens and brewing beer, particularly in Fort Collins. And just because Anheuser-Busch is a mammoth company, it doesn't mean that it does not want to capitalize on the trends.

On Friday December 5, the Biergarten, the newest addition to the Anheuser-Busch Brewery and Tour Center will open its doors. The new venue, located at 2351 Busch Drive, includes indoor and outdoor space where guests can enjoy multiple fire pits as well as a variety of food offerings in addition to beers.

Anheuser-Busch opened in 1852 and currently operates 12 local breweries with Tour Centers across the U.S.

Opening celebrations include the first Fire Pit Friday event from 5 to 8 p.m., when patrons can enjoy live music, the fire pits, as well as 18 beers available on draft. The folks at Anheuser-Busch have also committed to providing complimentary s'mores to all guests who donate a non-perishable item to the Larimer County Food Bank.

Future Fire Pit Fridays at the Tour Center are set to occur on December 12 and 19. For more information on the Budweiser Tour Center, visit their website here.
