Great flavor. I tried my husband's beer and liked that as well. The hazy had some nice fruit notes and a great hop nose. They had menus on the table for the neighboring restaurant. I love how breweries partner with other businesses. This was a good stop!

Sara and Sam just magically appeared like magical Genies at every step with drinks in hand, plates of food in front of us, and confirmation that it was good to move to the next steps along the way. They coordinated with our other vendors beautifully, and deservedly have an outstanding reputation with other vendors in the area such as DJs and caterers. Sara met with us in person and checked in over phone and email regularly, and was always responsive to questions. There was never ANY doubt about timing, pricing, or planning. Sara was accommodating with every request that we had and bent over backward to make our dream wedding happen (under budget!!). I would rate them ten stars if I could. They exceeded expectations at every turn.

The male barista lacks basic customer service such as greeting and acknowledging customers, or maybe just me, because the next person he took orders with he was friendly to her, why not me? lol I'm well liked, and approachable too! Anyhow, he explained the food menu with the utmost lack of enthusiasm, which led to my day feeling like I'm causing a burden on him... oh wells. Despite all, the interior coolness made up for the lack of human interaction within this bookworm vibe coffee joint.

We got a good discount for the train ride on Groupon and I would recommend checking it out before arriving. We paid to feed the bison, not realizing they would give you food for free on the train ride. That was a bit frustrating, but you can add the food they pass around to your bag so you have plenty to give to the bison. Our kids had a fantastic time and it was a lot of fun feeding the bison on the train. I think this is a great activity to do in the area with kids and it was definitely a highlight in our trip. The gift shop was fun to visit on our way out. Highly recommend!

The Terry Bison Ranch is the only place I have ever heard about where you can hand feed Bison. They also have other things to do here. We got here an hour and a half before our train departed and we have plenty to do. They have lots of animals on this ranch from full grown ostriches and baby ones, a long horn cow, plenty of chickens, baby bison that you can pet, lots of horses, goats, and much more. On the ride over to feed the bison, they had a train robbery reenactment which was fun. The whole train ride takes about an hour to make sure to use the restrooms before getting on. It's a great place to bring kids. Prices were reasonable. $20 per adult $10 for kids to ride the train and $10 for bison feed which is a must. They give you a decent amount of food in the bag. No reservations needed you can buy tickets at the general store. There they have plenty of souvenirs to buy and can answer any questions you may have. An easy day trip from Denver. If you are on a roadtrip I'd recommend stopping here if you are heading to Wyoming from Colorado or vice versa.

Zoe's Café & Events is a lovely little spot for coffee, creativity, and getting some work done…read more The ambience is one of my favorite things about this café. It's light, refreshing, airy, cozy casual, and artistic all at once. There are multiple seating options, from traditional tables and chairs to couches, plus an event room tucked off to the side. There's artwork throughout the space, and it's obvious that a lot of thought and consideration went into the decor. It's definitely Instagram photo worthy without feeling overly curated or uncomfortable. The food and drink selection is also quite varied. They have everything from coffee and specialty drinks to pastries and sandwiches, so there's plenty to choose from whether you're stopping in for a quick drink or looking for something more substantial. I personally only came in for a drink, but I was impressed by the variety of options. I ordered their Matcha brown sugar latte, which is one of their fall signature drinks, and it was absolutely amazing. If you're someone who's interested in trying matcha but isn't sure about the earthy flavor, I definitely recommend starting with something like this. The brown sugar adds enough sweetness to mellow out the earthy Matcha flavor without completely overpowering it. The service was decent. The barista were polite and friendly, but I did find that they weren't particularly knowledgeable about the entire menu. For a café with a fairly extensive drink selection, that can make it difficult when you're looking for a recommendation or have questions about something you haven't tried before. If the person behind the counter hasn't tried certain drinks themselves, they understandably may not be able to give much insight into what to expect. It's a small thing, but having staff who are familiar with the menu can make a big difference in the overall experience. Overall, Zoe's is a great place to spend some time. Whether you're catching up with friends, working on a paper or project for school or work, reading a book, or simply wanting to sit somewhere comfortable with a good drink, it fits the bill. The atmosphere makes you want to stay a while, and that matcha brown sugar latte alone is worth coming back for.

This is a family business : They are closed on Mondays but my friend called and Bill the owner opened up so we could drink a flight and buy a few bottles! 2. The scenery! Omg it is scenic northern Colorado on steroids! The family land is adjacent to the tasting room and you feel like you have stepped into another world far away from the busy streets of Fort Collins or Denver. 3. The taste! The wine is all grown local or bottled local and tastes amazing. Some Colorado wine is meh but Bill has the nose and taste buds for this business! We found out he worked at Budweiser for 15 years before opening his own tasting room so he knows what to look for in the perfect "combination" 4. Colorado friendliness at its finest! Bill and his family were the perfect hosts! Taking the time to walk us through their wines, their local community, and teach us about growing wine! Best afternoon trip ever!

I just left Ten Bears where I was there for about one hour with 2 girlfriends. The owner, William,…read morewas already visibly intoxicated (with 2 glasses of wine for himself nearby, a red and a white). Pretty quickly over the following 60 minutes he became verbally aggressive, psychologically abusive, and patronizing to myself and my girlfriends. I have NEVER in my life had this experience, and I have traveled all over the US and the world, interacting with thousands of people from countless cultures. William literally flipped a switch and began telling us "I have kicked people out of here before who were above you, and you are here" indicating with his hands that we were below whomever he had an experience with in the past. He also told one of my girlfriends that she doesn't know wine and that she is a "condescending bitch", because she was engaged in a conversation with him about his wines. I invited William to sit at our table with us early on (which he did) and when he switched to the drunk monster that he truly is, I saw it in his eyes. It is VERY obvious that this individual has LOTS of issues he needs to work through and is currently using alcohol as a coping mechanism, while also verbally assaulting his female customers. Unfortunately, we were the only 3 people in the tasting room and had we had a male with us, we surely would not have had the same experience. I immediately began to shut down (trauma response) and tears began streaming down my face. Normally with this type of male (gaslighting, condescending, and toxic to the nth degree), I would have been overly confrontational but the things he said and the look in his eyes, I knew that it was in my best physical health to not fully engage. I looked at him right before we left and said "I want you to know that this feeling, the tears I can't control, are real and you alone caused this". He then made fun of me for my tears and told us to leave as we were trying to pay. We obviously left and were and still are in complete shock. This individual needs to not only seek mental and substance use help but also should not be running a winery. Do NOT go to Ten Bears, especially if you are alone, are a group of women, and/or care about the safety of women. Ladies, go to Sweetheart Winery in Loveland, never had an issue there.

One word of caution, though. Not to put you off visiting, but just a heads up: Larimer County only allows the winery to have 11 vehicles in their parking lot. A wine tasting reservation does secure you a spot. Long version - we were visiting Loveland, CO (from Phoenix, AZ) for a very short trip & wanted to cram in as much as we possibly could. Blendings was one of the first wineries we found doing a Google search for the area. What a fantastic place, no joke. We made the reservation online, and not gonna lie, I got nervous about the 11-car limit. I sent an e-mail to a couple of their "Contact Us" addresses. One did not go through. When I reached out to them via Facebook, someone replied almost immediately, thanking me for letting them know about the bad e-mail & also confirming that yes, a tasting reservation guarantees your car has a spot in their parking lot. Now that is excellent customer service. When we arrived this particular Thursday for our 4 o'clock reservation, it was to a gorgeous spot. Green vineyards, a babbling brook, a gorgeous & well decorated eating / tasting area, a beautiful patio for more tasting ambiance, plus a couple more covered areas in their small side yard. Katie welcomed us with a cheery hello & bright smile. She was very friendly as we navigated through our confusion over the reservation. She was giving us a 4-flight tasting when we reserved the Blendings Experience (6 flights, charcuterie plate, bottle to take home) ... or so we thought. Turns out, we weren't paying attention to their website when we signed up & clicked on the other link, the one for the 4-flight tasting. She was super sweet though & said the Blendings master could be there in 30 min if we wanted to go that route. Not wanting to rush anyone because of our screw up -- and because we were thirsty now! :-) -- we opted to go w/ the normal tasting. What a treat that was. Probably a good thing, too, because the flights were generous pours; I don't think I could have handled 2 more pours. LOL! With all the wine consumption, we ordered a veggie plate, as well as a charcuterie plate. Plus, Katie gave us some spicy saltines to go with it. Tasty! The hummus w/ the veggies had a little kick to it, & the small pita pockets were perfect. The charcuterie plate had some wonderful cheese slices, a nice selection of olives (you could choose to go w/ nuts instead of olives), plus the meat & crackers. It was so good we ordered a 2nd charcuterie. There was an excellent selection of wines to choose from the tasting menu. One or two I wanted they were out of, but we were also able to substitute from their other selections. They also had a couple special seasonal wines, as well as some cocktails, on top of a few frozen wine slushie concoctions. Too many choices. We totally should have taken an Uber/Lyft. Ha Ha! We got through our flights, then tried a few of their cocktails: Old Fashioned, Lavender Lemonade, and one of their frozen. Every single one was delicious. All in all, we spent a couple hours at Blendings. We could have spent so much longer, but then we totally would have needed a ride home. We bought a few bottles of their sweet wines: Strawberry Blonde, Caramel Apple, and Blue Me Away. It was a hard decision to make, which bottles to buy. If you are ever in the Fort Collins or Loveland area and want to have a fantastic wine-tasting experience, you should reserve a tasting at Blendings Winery. You'll have a memorable experience.

As the MOB living in Connecticut, when my daughter let me know that she wanted to get married in…read morethe mountains of Colorado my first thought was panic! How was I going to help her plan a wedding that was not in her hometown in Connecticut? We definitely needed a planner to help. We interviewed several planners and my daughter and now son-in-law felt that Casey was the only one we interviewed that spent the time to get to know them and find out what they wanted in their vision of a wedding verses just telling them all the services they provide. Casey was asking how they met, what they liked to do in their free time and what was the vibe they were going for with the wedding. I felt confident that Casey would help them plan a wedding that was perfect for THEM. I wanted to be included in the planning process and Casey had no problem with this so I would be conferenced in on any calls and looped in on all the emails. Casey was very patient throughout the planning process from the number of site visits she went on to find the perfect venue to answering all the little questions we had. Casey helped us find the perfect venue that fit all the characteristics the B+G explained to her in the initial interview. At first, we signed up for "day of" planning because of expense but added the "full service" planning when we decided the venue we chose would end up being like a destination wedding where no guest lived locally so the whole weekend needed to be planned from Friday through Sunday. I am so glad we did this because Casey stepped right in and helped us with all the details! Casey is very organized and helped keep the B+G on schedule with their tasks so it never seemed overwhelming throughout the whole planning process. She recommended some great vendors! Casey went through each contract to make sure all contracts were good even before forwarding them to me to review and kept me on schedule with payments needed for all vendors so I never missed a payment. Casey was great with communication and would often answer an email on her day off even though I didn't expect an answer right away. I think Casey really excelled with logistics and design so when the time came, the wedding was flawless! All of our guests commented on how well everything came together and how beautiful the wedding was. The weekend of the wedding was amazing, the B+G and I showed up and were allowed to be just guests for the whole weekend! We did not need to worry about a thing because Casey and Jessica handled everything! It turned out better than I could have imagined! I did not find out about a problem that happened during the weekend until after the brunch when my sister let me know that she was having such trouble with the altitude right before the ceremony that Casey got her some oxygen and set her up in a place to see the ceremony where she did not have to walk. I did not even notice that this was going on. There was no doubt that Casey did not want the B+G nor me to be troubled with anything over the weekend and what a joy that was to not have that stress! When first interviewing planners I thought they were, as a whole, expensive and was a little worried with the cost of them, however, I can honestly say Casey and Aspen & Ivy are well worth the expense! Casey, I really enjoyed working with you. I felt that through the process you became more of a friend than vendor we had contracted! We definitely could not have pulled off such a beautiful event without you!

I want to highly recommend Casey Muller and Pink Diamond events. We worked with Casey for almost…read moretwo years to plan the party of our lifetime. It was a celebration of our 70th birthdays and the completion of the personal goal of hiking all the National Parks. We worked closely with Casey to plan a weekend event that included multiple meals, nightly entertainment and daily activities for 120 people, Casey is extremely organized and kept my husband and I on task by helping with an ongoing list of chores, dates and goals. She gently advised us on everything including, caterers, food, alcohol, flowers, and invitations. During the weekend Casey worked behind the scenes to make sure everything ran perfectly. We were particularly impressed when she was the last one to bed because she was running the vacuum at night to make sure the space was in perfect order for Saturday breakfast. This is the very first time we've ever used a party planner and we are so glad we did. Three months later our friends are still raving about the weekend and how well organized it was. It did help that we had the party at Estes Park on a glorious fall weekend. Casey didn't plan that. If you are planning a wedding, a family reunion, or a birthday party and looking for some an event planner who is organized, well-connected, and at a reasonable price, Pink Diamond Party Events should be your very first call.
