Anheuser Busch Inc / Fort Collins Brewery Review

Very short wait for the tour and our guide was super funny. The backyard bar was super nice space and the food was good. I ll be back to hang out for drinks/food.

20 minutes to check in another 20 to check out. About 1 hour at dock. Would like faster in and out but can't yell too loud

Appointment 1 pm chk in 12 30 and now its 3 30 still waiting for door don t come here for hauling 1.10 $ going back Kansas wasting time

Truely disgusted, last time I accept a load from here. im tired of being treated like garbage from the guards. And theres a middle aged to younger woman, I did not catch her name is the absolute rudest, horrible guard ive ever dealt with. And God forbid a distributor would know how to load a trailer, if your 2 or 3 pallets under normal its all getting shoved in that nose overloading the drives 2,3,4000#s. Then they really act as if its your fault, only to make you literally wait hours to slide some pallets back. Makes no sense to have an already loaded trailer that they messed up wait . It must be all that pot in CO now, the incompetence of these guards and loaders is through the roof.

This Place is Incredible. We Did The V.I.P Tour and Wow was It Interesting. Worth The Money For Sure. The Gentleman that Was Our Guide Did A fantastic Job. He Really Knows alot About Beer And Brewing Budweiser and Their Products.

We come here every year for my birthday and I always learn something new. It's an amazing experience!!! Definitely have to do the Brew Master Tour!

Outdoor/indoor space. I left wanting a natural light hat, something I never expected.

This inst an open business its a brewery. Just doing my job.

Preloaded trl turned out to be a live ld.Sat there 7 Hrs until I called and they said it canceled.Good thing I called.

Expect to wait eight to ten hours for a live load. This place is ridiculous.

Stuck here for 10 hours with ELD there is nothing to do here, it s better not to take their loads at all

I had a pretty good day there today waiting on my load. I utilized the time to put the chrome floor mats in my truck and clean up a little. Pretty chill place to wait for loading.

This place takes forever. No matter live load or hook&drop. They don't want to care your driving hour. Return to the lot many reasons at the last moment.

Been waiting since 23:00, its is now 09:00... my trailer is still empty in the drop yard.

I have app 4:00am arrive 8:00am i am late but loaded 9:30am thanks

More than an hour stood in front of the gate, in line. Loaded for more than 3 hours and stood in line in front of the exit gate for another 45 minutes.

One of the worst companies for the drivers. Long waiting time and they always overload however they weigh empty trucks. I lost a lot of time there

Wonderful tour and great place to hang out to taste beer. I love the shop

I arrived at 02:00 for a 03:00 appointment. Got a door immediately upon checking in. Loading my trailer took about 3 hours and 30 minutes which was pretty good from the reviews I read. I was a little heavy on my trailer but I went back around and adjusted my tandems and scaled again and was perfect the second time. Checking out was easy. Little security Lady was nice. Almost 4 hours altogether which is not a bad place to me.

4 hours to get loaded loaded me over my gross another hour and a half in the door reworking the trailer don't recommend coming here with less than 4 hours on your log

Very very bad here. Check in and check out. I'm standing in line for check out 2 hours. Very bad service. They are too slow and lazy. Nobody cares. For truckers. Do not come here without food.

All truckers be aware... all loads are 46lbs + . The scale at this site is wrong and if you have to get on 80... there's a scale house! Before the loves.

Checked in one hour early. Got a door 10 mins later, and loaded in hour and a half. Everyone seemed friendly

Offers an inclusive and longwinded tour that includes free beer tasting (at the end). While a little more organized and less focused on the consumer, still free beer.

I miss the frogs that said bud weis er. bring them back please? Also, your beer is beer and i like that kind of thing.

But wei per. King of Rears! (I went on a paid work outing, so that was awesome!!!)

Stopped by today (06.19.19) to see the Clydesdales and loved them. But....we should have cut our visit with just that and then this review wouldn't be "two star". Silly us - we stayed for a beer. To be clear though.....we never even got the chance to have one. We sat at the outside bar.....and sat.....and sat. The bartender did everything humanly possible to avoid eye contact. He walked back-and-forth trying to look busy but clearly wasn't. We waited quite awhile as he avoided us multiple times.

Sorry guys....but not to even get a "hello" or a "be with you in a minute" from your employee representing your company just doesn't fly. We quietly left and took our business elsewhere.

ABInBev, unless you put a better "service" foot forward (we are locals and this is how our visits here typically go) you'll continue to wear your low star review badges on Yelp and Google. You have a beautiful facility, gorgeous horses, and an impressive tour....but you continue to fail at the basics - customer service.

Do not come here short on your hours of service.. They take forever to get you in a dock and loaded.

Our tour guide, Tiffany, was the best tour guide! She made our day so fun and interesting. The staff at the Budweiser Brewery are all so nice and funny, as well. We loved spending the afternoon there.

The security check in and out is most ridiculous I ve seen so far, driving almost 5 years...
they expect you to slide your tandems correctly otherwise they will not give you paperwork.
They make you get off the scale fix your tandems and go back in line again for about 45 min so you can check your weight again... this ppl are out of their minds... if get a confirmation with this address... I m calling sick.

Was to be a drop and hook..order not done....5 hours later finally finished....was not happy about 7 am call to end up live load....max weight

I'm a loyal Coors guy, born and raised. I still remember the field trips we took in school when I was a kid - back then that was ok I guess. But over the years, the Coors tour experience went downhill. This tour puts the Coors one to shame. It was over an hour long, our tour was knowledgeable, and of course free beer samples - I paid the $5 for full size samples, well worth it. They even have a full lunch menu. Bonus that the Clydesdales we're there. One of the better beer tours you can take.

It was nice I'm a driver so I had 2 go pick up a load there

Most terrible service i'v ever seen. Bring food, water and a huge amount of patience because you will spend next 24+ hours here. If you picking up prepare for overweight and reload. I feel like a hostage.

This was my second time visiting. Enjoyed the tour. Food was a bit greasy, but taste was good. I actually dont drink beer, so I can't post on that. Service was also great!

This building, grounds and tour experience are fantastic. Free tour available; but recommend the upsell for a larger glass. All of the negative reviews are for the docks which have nothing to do with the tour. Bring your friends and a "designated driver" your gonna need em. I've been here a handful of times and only seen the clydesdales once. They tour the country so call ahead if your looking for them specifically.

It was great and friendly there. both guys running the scales were cool and easy going but but took their jobs seriously but you can joke with them I had nothing but good vibes there.!!

Not exactly what we had expected, there weren't any of the Clydesdale Horses, not one. You have to pay for the train ride and any food items, which aren't inexpensive. The snow man couldn't be blown up because of the wind that evening. Their close to the Wyoming boarded!! Shouldn't they expect some wind?? Just a thought..

A very Slow check in process , i got door right away .

Discrimination due to race and language, poor treatment of drivers, lack of control and help due to security.

Very cool free tour. You can upgrade your drinks to full size for $5. Our tour guide was awesome and very knowledgable. The only thing is that the clydesdales were traveling and not there.... But we saw their stables anyway. Definitely something to do if you're in the area.

Visited for the tour. Tour guides and staff were all very friendly and answered my questions. Enjoyed our visit!

Awesome tour plant is very nice glad to experience the process of beer making

Very nice employees made the job I was there to do much more pleasant.

I think Budweiser could do a lot better with lights. None of the trees near the back have lights. There is a lighted trail that leads you to a gazebo in the back but it suddenly.stops and there are no lights surrounding it. It would be better if it was a loop with lots of lights. Last year the hot chocolate was free and now they charge for it. They also had hot apple cider last year, which was nice for our vegan family, they don't have that anymore.

Worst place ever 8 hour waiting to get loaded so try to avoid thisbplace or be ready for a long wait

Terrible food. Lights were nothing special. Won't do that again

Terrible!!! This place wasnt even busy (per security). Only a few trucks in docks, most truck traffic was drop & hooks.... So other than laziness, why did it take them 5hrs. (4hrs. actually in dock door) to unload what took the shipper only 35min. to load? There's no excuse for a company to abuse driver's time like they do.

I dislike beer. I absolutely *hate* Budweiser. I was completely convinced that I was going to want to stab my own eyes out by the end of this tour.

Oh how wrong I was. It was *fascinating*!

It was winter, so we didn't get to see the horses, but we did see their stable (which was surgically clean), their gear (which was polished to a high sheen), the cart and the grazing fields, which were large and very well kept.

Then we went into the brewery for the tour. Our tour guide was very young and clearly had been through extensive training, because several of us in the group asked some very specific and pointed questions, some of which were clearly very unusual, and she knew the answers to all of them except one (and she found out the answer for that one by the end of the tour). The entire tour was amazing; the facility is huge, very clean, and well laid out for tours. It really was an awesome experience.

Then they brought us to the Biergarten for some complimentary beer tastings. They gave us the two seasonal beers, both of which happened to be craft beers and were QUITE good, and we were allowed to select two of the other beers (out of a total of 18) that they had on tap. (I think you were allowed to get more if you paid, but I was driving so I passed on that). The gift shop, conveniently located next to the Biergarten, also had the option of buying individual bottles of beer, so I did avail myself of that option.

All in all, it was an excellent experience. Especially when you consider how convinced I was that I was going to be completely miserable, and that just wasn't the case. I was fully engaged, entertained, and educated the entire time.

I STRONGLY recommend this tour to anyone in the area. Even if you don't like beer!

The tour was really fun and educational
Our tour guide was really nice and knowledgeable. The fish and chips at the Beirgarten afterwards along with all the beer choices was the best I've ever had!!

I love this place but: on a busy day, please don't deny me the food that I want to eat that is listed on your menu. Or at least tell me if it isn't available that day somewhere BEFORE I order it.

As a Colorado resident for the last 35 years, we have never been to the Budweiser brewery for a tour. We have done THE OTHER tour several times as we live in Golden. With family in from out of town, we took the drive to Fort Collins to tour Budweiser. It was a fabulous tour, we learned Budweiser brews a heck of a lot of beer!!!. Our tour was topped off with a visit to the Biergarten for some refreshments and they did not disappoint. RALPH was out bar keep and he represented Budweiser with great heart and enthusiasm and made sure we enjoyed our visit. We couldn t have more pleased with his service, his company his professionalism and his knowledge representing Budweiser. Ralph topped off our visit with such class and service, we will be back. When you visit the Biergarten, be sure to say hello to Ralph, you ll be happy you did.
Our only regret? Not having enough time for lunch, food looked and smelled awesome. Make time for lunch when you go.

One place you must stop and see. Tour the plant, see the Clydesdales and enjoy some good food.

Loading time from 6:00pm(appt time )
Checked out at 8:22 am

In comprehensive how many times this. Place can screw up one load.

Much to slow at the scales,big problem for truckers

Tour guide was very friendly. Told us fun stories of what it's like to work there. She did an amazing job. It was a windy day bit so worth the time spent. Don't forget testing some of the freshest budweiser in the building.

It's closed. No signs indicating it's closed. Might help to put one at the entrance.

I have been here sense 930am trying to unload....it is now 624pm....still not empty and I have to turn around and reload here...looks like I'll be here till tomorrow time this all gets down......

I absolutley enjoyed the food and during these tough times they could really use the help!

Fun place to take out of town guests! Much better beer options elsewhere, though.

Had an amazing, chill time today. The prices were surprisingly good for the awesome food, drinks and tour... would give 10 stars. (Did the $10 tour, great value)

Lots of room here for Driver might take awhile to get loaded sometimes but not a bad facility .
But to the Driver that thinks they take too long to load trailers or get mad about a couple pallets there is not a human loading your trailer it's all robotics that's why if you have to get a load adjusted it takes so long this facility is all automated on the inside.

Been here several times. Usual load time is 2-5 hrs. Other than that very good.

Loved it! Lisa did an awesome job as a tour guide!
