Re: Mystery Beer

I wonder if your friend was pulling that person's leg. New Belgium Brewing makes Fat Tire. http://www.newbelgium.com/ http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/rate_results/192/607/ As far as I know, it is one of their best-selling beers and is actually pretty good, but the brewery is also known for making even better beer. Many New Belgium devotees kind of turn up a nose at Fat Tire, saying that it's all right but certainly not the best that NBB has to offer (that last comment is kind of hearsay and is perhaps not entirely true). It is not available in Mpls or the midwest. It used to be, I hear, but currently is not. I have purchased New Belgium beer in Montana, Oregon, and Colorado. It should have been almost impossible to miss while in Colorado. hope that helps, Don --- Dave Cox <north-shore-brewer(a)earthlink.net> wrote: A friend of mine just got back from a business trip to Denver. One of his collegues was looking for a beer called "Fat Tire". My friend told this person that he could probably get it for her in MPLS. He Tried Blue Max and Surdyks without success. Any of you beer detectives out there ever see this one? I don't have any info on brewery or even style. My guess is that it was discontinued. ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
