Fat Tire

[flaraider]

Anyone?
Been enjoying 12 packs for 14-16$ lately and seems to be available at most of my favorite haunts on tap, something good coming out of Colorado. Nice balanced hop to malt character, I like it a lot.

 

[HammerDown]

Is 14-16$ the same as $14-$16?

I love the stuff but I only pay that much for beer in restaurants.

 

[TexasMan]

Yea it's really good. One of my favorites.

I know, I justify it by drinking a little slower than you would drink your Natty Ice.

Budweiser. 36-pack at Sam's for $16.49. I drink the good shit at restaurants.

But yeah, Fat Tire is about as good as it gets.

I'm not a fan. I know I'm in the minority there, but don't care for it.

It was good 20 years ago. Only thing really good coming out of New Belgium now days is their Lips O' Faith line...

Hell, they only the 3rd or 4th best brewer in Fort Collins...

When New Belgium first started it was great. But now days, there are so many other brewers doing better things...

I subscribe to a very simple premise.

"All beer's good, some's better 'n others."

A beer snob I am not.

I have a personal quote that is somewhat similar. "There is no such thing as a bad beer. Just beer that doesn't fit your taste." Of course on occasion I have come across so truly bad beer but you get the gist.

We were just talking Fat Tire and I offered up my opinion. Not putting anyone down for liking it. I mean, people could drink much worse, like Bud...

Im partial to Bells, but Fat Tire is pretty good.

Wasn't directing that at you.

I always said I never tried a beer I didn't like and that was true til about 5 yrs ago and some rich local motocross prick thought it'd be cool to open a pizza joint/microbrew. His food and beer sucked. Told me I could try it and if I didn't like it I didn't have to pay. Directed me toward the bar and I expected good food/beer. What I got was cold blubbery wings and sweet, syrupy beer. You should have seen the look on his face when I brushed past him walking out the door. The place was closed six months later.

And as for Bud, for .49c a can it's a great go-to beer. Funny how many times I hand a glass to guests, they say they like it and then are shocked and embarrassed when I tell them what it is. I've humbled my fair share of foo-foo beer lovin' snobs with it. If I had told them it was a premium Dutch lager, they'd stick their chest out but tell 'em it's an American original and they get humiliated.

I am familiar with the brewer. I was just wondering which of their beers you liked. Two Hearted is one of the finest IPAs out there...
