I'm with you! Last time I had Fat Tire, I was visiting the owner of Investment Arms in Fort Collins CO. He took me out to a local pub and introduced me to the brew. Sadly we can't get it here in NJ, but if ever there were a microbrew worthy of national distribution, that's it.

MMMMmmmm, good stuff.

Abbey is a great "Trapist Style" beer. If you're into wheat beers try their Sunshine. Good stuff.

Re: Fat Tire Amber

Fat tire is definitely my least favorite of New Belgium's brews... A lot of 2 Below and 1554 has passed through my fridge lately though

Re: Fat Tire Amber

I've been drinking Fat Tire since about the mid 90's when it was only available in the bombers. A popular favorite amongst my friends and cohorts. The other New Belgium offerings are quite yummy as well.

I give it two opposible thumbs up. Shall we discuss O'Dells 90 Schilling now?

Re: Fat Tire Amber

Good stuff, better on tap than in the bottle! I introduced my buddy to this beer a few months back and he still talks about it to this day.

I wouldn't call it my least favorite New Belgium brew, but I agree that 2 below is a new favorite.

Here in Colorado Fat Tire is a basic beer, if you don't see something that grabs you just ask for Fat Tire, everyone has it pretty much. Oh, and it has mellowed out since it first came out, used to be a more full bodied beer, now it seems that mass producing for wider distribution has taken some of the richness out of it, just my

There is quite a difference, and it's better on tap. The bottles are OK though...

Re: Fat Tire Amber

Leaving this beer behind was the hardest thing I had to do when I moved from Colorado years back, the Sunshine Wheat was my favorite. I've been on a trek to find it but alas Michigan is still on the no shipping list I am however going to Chicago this weekend and may be coming back with some cases if I can find it.

That's awesome thanks for the info. I think I may try to stop by the LP store on Sunday before we leave. Do you know how much it may be by any chance.

Fat Tire is drinkable for sure, but I won't buy a 6 pack of it when Sunshine Wheat, 1554, and Trippel are readily available (neener neener!).
