Beer Edition: Ranking local beer packaging

Adah McMillan, Collegian Columnist • April 11, 2022
There’s a lot of variety when it comes to beer, especially in Fort Collins, where we have over 20 breweries. Depending on your personal preferences, taste, alcohol by volume, malt and other factors lift some beers above others, but the most important thing to consider when picking a drink is, of course, the packaging. I’ve examined the options at 20 Fort Collins breweries to find the best beer packaging in the area. I’m a perfectly unbiased judge of packaging because I have never had a beer in my life and don’t ever intend to. My opinions are unfettered by any knowledge about beer.

Beer Edition: Beer isn’t just for men, so why do advertisers market it that way?

Dominique Lopez, Collegian Columnist • April 11, 2022
Created over 5,000 years ago through the process of fermentation, beer has been perceived as a man’s beverage. However, fermented beverages, which for so long have been marketed toward men, were actually created by women 9,000 years ago. Women during the early ages were always seen as belonging in the kitchen, meaning women were actually the first to brew beer, not men. Why is this the case, though? Why has beer been perceived as masculine rather than something to be consumed by anyone, no matter their gender?

Beer Edition: New Belgium is a tribute to beer and bikes in Fort Collins

Callum Burke, Collegian Columnist • April 10, 2022
When discussing the many aspects of Fort Collins that embrace its storied personality, there are a lot to choose from. For starters, you could mention the architecture of Old Town and the inspiration it supplied for the design of Main Street, U.S.A. You could also describe the picturesque Horsetooth Rock and accompanying view of Colorado’s vast foothills and mountains. Although both examples are suitable and worth mentioning, it would be a disgrace to neglect the importance of both beer and bicycles to the City, especially with the celebration of National Beer Day on April 7.

Beer Edition: Stella: We should lower the legal drinking age

Michael Stella, Collegian Columnist • April 10, 2022
Drinking has often been taboo in the United States, and it even got to the point where the 18th amendment was passed, basically banning alcohol. The 18th amendment lived on for 13 years from 1919-33 until the 21st amendment was passed, allowing for the sale, transportation and possession of alcohol to be legal again.
