Longmont, Colorado

30 craft breweries, a growing tech scene, and a Main Street that's finally getting its due

Home Destinations Northern Colorado Longmont

Longmont sits between Boulder and Loveland along the St. Vrain Creek corridor, and it has quietly become one of the most interesting mid-size cities on the Front Range. The craft beer scene is absurd for a town this size — over 30 breweries and counting, anchored by Left Hand Brewing and Oskar Blues (which pioneered craft beer in cans). Main Street has been revitalized with restaurants, galleries, and a weekend farmers market. A growing tech sector (including the headquarters of several software companies) has brought a younger demographic that demands good food and walkable neighborhoods.
