Why try one tasty treat when you can sample three, four, or more? In Fort Collins, there is no shortage of craft beer flights, but the flight concept extends well beyond suds to other drinks and foods.
Ten Bears Winery, located just north of Fort Collins in Laporte, grows its own grapes and offers a relaxed atmosphere to sip wine on the patio, including create-your-own wine flights containing six samples. In Fort Collins, The Whiskey has plenty of options for flight combinations with six whiskeys on tap and more than 1,700 bottles behind the bar; Blue Agave Grill has a rotating margarita flight for tequila lovers. For a different kind of buzz that is nonalcoholic, Silver Grill Cafe has a coffee flight with four tasters of their most popular drinks: iced coffee, iced chai, Vienna latte, and mocha.
With more than two dozen types of cheese to choose from at The Welsh Rabbit Cheese Shop in Old Town, consider a northern Colorado theme for a cheese flight, including Alpenbert from Steamboat Springs and Rocky Mountain cheddar from Windsor’s Longview Creamery. Welsh Rabbit also offers wine flights that pair nicely with its cheeses.
For a sweet treat, score a flight of chocolates at Nuance Chocolate, which sources cacao beans from around the globe and roasts them in small batches. At Urban Egg Eatery, choose three different types of pancakes for your flight, including options like Hawaiian and strawberry cheesecake. Snooze, An A.M. Eatery, also offers a three-flapjack flight—cinnamon roll pancakes, anyone?
