I'm so JEALOUS! Fat Tire is some seriously good beer! We can't find it anywhere up here :(
It's great beer (ale) - I would call it an amber ale; very tasty.
Yummy, glad to hear it - I don't typically care for lagers, but do enjoy good ales and chocolate stouts :DQuote:

New Belgium does an amazing amount of bike advocacy. There are some hilarious videos on Youtube. Just search New Belgium and Bikes.
They also host a great bike festival that travels all over the country. I can't get to their site from work, darn, or I post some links.
Go to the New Beligium brewery site and check it out!
I luuuurve Fat Tire. Hope you enjoyed it!
Yes, they were a major sponsor of the MS society ride I did last year, and offered up to 2 tap beers free for every rider (21+, of course) after the first day of riding. I've tried a few of their brews and enjoyed them, but I do think Fat Tire is still my favorite. :)Quote:

I found their site after your first post, and it is great! I am really looking forward to drinking the ale, but it is a huge bottle :p Trader Joe's, at least locally, only sells it in individual 22 ounce bottles :)Quote:

Luckly DH & I were in the 1st 1,000 or so, so we actually got to ride, not walk our bikes on the 8 mi loop. AND we got beer w/o having to wait in line forever. I guess it pays to be there an hour and a half before the parade began. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heQojMf_4CMQuote:
