Getting to Know You

We’ve spent several days exploring the Loveland and Fort Collins area. Basically, we look for residences in our price range and then walk the neighborhoods, seeing if it feels good to us. This afternoon, we went to half a dozen open houses to better understand the market.  It’s been some work but also some fun. One night we went out for dinner with one of Julia’s optometry school classmates and her husband, Dave, a Fort Collins lawyer. They took us out for Mexican food and to some hole in the wall bars in Fort Collins’ Old Town.  A good time was had, but I frankly can’t keep up with Dan, who is a serious craft beer drinker.  Before today’s open houses, Julia went to the weaving guild meeting in Loveland.  She said the people there were very friendly and welcoming.

Located amongst a dense population of working class bars on the western edge of Superior, Wisconsin, Earth Rider’s taphouse is in an old brick building. The inside is a bit dark. There is no food to speak of here. Earth Rider is where you go if you want to drink really good beer in just about every beer style that we like.




I started with their 2018 World Beer Cup bronze medal winner in the oatmeal stout category, North Tower Stout, while Julia enjoyed their hazy IPA.

After sampling the Raspbecrush Tart, I then opted for a perfectly-styled Vienna Lager, which was dispensed side-pull, something the server described as a method to bring out a more creamy head. 

We adjourned to the outdoor beer garden, which had a mural that I loved.


For dinner, we went a couple of blocks down the street to the Anchor Bar with prices from yesterday. Huge, well-prepared burgers were $6.50. It was Monday Philosophy night with $3 pitchers of Grain Belt Beer. With an hour drive ahead, I went with a Diet Pepsi.
