Congratulations
» First Place: High Hops Brewery, 6461 Colorado Highway 392; 970-674-2841; www.highhopsbrewery.com
to Dr. Robin Downing
Born out of a massive hop shortage in 2006, High Hops was the homebrew product of the fatherson team from Windsor Gardener. Pat and Zach Weakland’s home brews were gaining steam as they supplied hops to the Front Range, and they began serving beer in what was then the tasting room at The Windsor Gardener. Windsor residents have embraced and loved their only brewery in town and continue to vote it as best bar. » Second Place: The Sand Bar at Pelican Lakes, 1625 Pelican Lakes Point, Suite 201; 970-6740930; www.homesfortcollins.net » Third Place: Ricky B’s Sports Pub and Music Venue, 522 Main St.; 970-686-5775; www.rickybssportspub.com
