    Look what I found today at Trader Joes! I've no idea if it is good ale, yet, but I couldn't resist it

    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

    It is very good stuff!

    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!

    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.

    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 Trader Joe's, at least locally, only sells it in individual 22 ounce bottles

    There is a New Belgium about 30 min from here, and man is it fun! They are HUGE promoters of commuting and cycling, Went to our first Tour de Fat last year- over 12,000 people, which was crazy. 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_4CM
