Industrial art

[Today’s run: 1 mile with the dog]

On our recent trip we had a tour of the New Belgium Brewery in Ft. Collins, CO.

I am not a beer drinker, or a drinker at all really.  And a lot of this tour involved tasting all of the different kinds of beer that they make.  Not surprising.  If you were a beer drinker and you took a tour of a brewery you would want:  samples of beer.

But I did enjoy seeing the factory and what they do.

They are a very successful business and have grown to be the third largest small brewery.  (They had a better way of putting that… the third largest of the “specialty brewerys”?  I don’t remember.)    … I looked in up in Wikipedia:  The third largest _craft_ brewery behind Samuel Adams and Sierra Nevada.

Anyway, here is a picture of some of their brewing equipment.  The metal circles hanging down are sculpture made of rims of bicycle wheels.
