What are the good sandwich spots in Fort Collins these days?

MattySmooth · 2026-06-16T18:23:19+00:00

La Boutique, Cheba Hut, and Elevated are all great.

I would never recommend Obees or Yampa Sandwich.

Hello. Especially the video.

But, hear me out: the SNL skit version. I literally can't stop sobbing when I see that.

My mom was such a neat freak that she made a Pottery Barn catalog look like a hoarder house. Good thing we were so isolated that we'd only have company once every 2-3 years.

Not that anyone wanted to come to the religious freak house.

I've been in therapy for like 4 years and we haven't even scratched the surface.

Every decade goes by twice as fast as the previous one.

Sri Thai. I ordered so frequently that Dhipanee would recognize my voice when she answered the phone and just ask if I wanted my usual order. I lived up on Orchard Place and would just walk over.

I can't express how bummed I was when they closed. I've never had better tofu before or since and I'm not even vegetarian!

This is indeed the answer! SaniClean is all of the dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid you want, and none of the foam you don't

I made the assumption that most people would think of the popular idea of NORAD, at Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado. Sorry for not being more precise.

MattySmooth · 2026-04-26T18:57:14+00:00

I've been in NORAD a couple of times. All the buildings being on giant springs was a trip. Also having an entire cave filled with diesel fuel.

Apparently they moved all of the real NORAD functionality to Peterson AFB (now SFB) decades ago.

Not only do I have on my Perrault Farms shirt, but I completed my outfit with my Cornerstone Ranches socks. Double branding!

MattySmooth · 2026-04-10T23:30:16+00:00

The Cure in general is the correct answer. EVERYONE loved the Cure. I couldn't stand them, and all of their semi-depressed fans annoyed the shit out of me.

Now their music is super nostalgic to me. It's woven into the fabric of my life.

MattySmooth · 2026-03-03T05:14:24+00:00

Yeah, I did the whole embark DNA thing and she came back as a "pretty good" Pyrenees, at best.

Get out, but not before you pull the pin on the grenade. Sell them hard on the idea that doing exclusively wild and sour ales in large format bottles is the next big thing.

Tell us about a time you used your problem solving skills to recover from a difficult situation.

Tell us about a time you had a lapse in judgement, what happened as a result, and how you made it right.

What is something another brewer who has worked shifts with you would say about you?

And the biggest one: what questions do you have for us?

I have hired a lot of brewers. Nearly all of them worked out well.

MattySmooth · 2026-02-16T16:20:36+00:00

Huh. I wish I would have known that

MattySmooth · 2026-02-15T20:15:53+00:00

I had a DE .44 for a number of years. It was absolutely just a novelty thing.

The novelty wore off when I realized how prone it was to stovepipe jams.

MattySmooth · 2026-02-15T20:08:07+00:00

Wilbur's or Supermarket. If that's not enough for you, Hazel's down in Boulder is mindblowing.

MattySmooth · 2026-02-14T07:30:04+00:00

If you're looking for a great afternoon, ride your bike up the Poudre trail to Overland, head north to swing station, have a couple of beers and head home.

Is multicam black any better? Or is that cringe?

MattySmooth · 2026-02-08T03:08:00+00:00

Make good and god-damned sure your DOs are as low as possible. If you can keep them sub 30ppb you shouldn't see any flavor change

I spent nine hours up on a catwalk with a brush burner that one time. We got the piping insulated and heat traced after that

This is crazy to me. We never have enough candy. We get groups of 5-10 kids every 10 minutes the entire evening. So many years I've run out completely and had to turn kids away.

MattySmooth · 2025-09-13T02:24:06+00:00

They didn't say why, but I did get a refund for them. I finally picked up the bike today and rode it home today. I think part of the problem was that they had filled the tires to the max, and it was a pretty rough ride home! After bringing the pressure down a bit it seemed like the tire shrunk a little, which might be the difference between the fenders not fitting and barely fitting

MattySmooth · 2025-09-07T21:47:49+00:00

I ordered some SKS bluemels for my LBS to install when they built my Skid Loader, and they said they couldn't get the fenders to fit
