Has anyone heard of 'Fat Tire' beer?

[babylonsister]

A co-worker of my husband gave him a 6-pk. for his birthday. Never heard of it, but I think he's originally from Seattle.

1. I have

It's OK..better than Bud

[babylonsister]

5. Better than Bud?

Say it ain't so! :rofl:
And ironically, we drink Bud in this house because we can't get Indonesian Bintang.

6. BINTANG

Looks like a St. Pauli's brand..

Nonetheless, Fat Tire has more oomph than Bud, but not as refined as Bintang.

11. ANYTHING is better than Budweiser...

I had heard of it several years ago, and it only has recently become available in Chicago. If I buy "Belgian" beer, I buy the real thing...Chimay.

[Left Is Write]

2. Yup. It's a New Belgium beer.

New Belgium Brewing is in Colorado.

I love Fat Tire and Skinny Dip; I wanted to try their Saison tonight, but the restaurant was out.

3. Of course

being from Colorado,
but I like some of their other beer better.

[Nailzberg]

4. Fat Tire RULES

Damn good and reasonably cheap.

7. it is one of my favorite beers

unfortunately i am currently too far east to buy any...so i'll have to wait until i head west again

[XemaSab]

8. It's pretty much all we drink

at Drinking Liberally.

[CatholicEdHead]

9. Very good stuff, very hard to find

[Aristus]

13. Not in the Northwest.

It's everywhere.

My favorite beer is "Brass Monk" a Belgian-style ale brewed at The Powerhouse, a local brewpub in Puyallup.

[swag]

10. It's from Fort Collins, Colorado.

From the New Belgium Brewing Co.

Wonderful beer.

[bridgit]

12. yup...

[Dora]

14. My mom likes it. But she's not much of a drinker.

She calls it "Flat Tire."

[uncle ray]

15. i've been drinking it

for the last five hours.



:beer:


one of my favorites, out of many local microbrews, we are really spoiled in colorado.

[fizzgig]

16. it's brewed not far from where i live

new belgium is a wonderfully green company. i see fat tire almost anywhere i travel, but i'm not very fond of it.

and we are spoiled here in town with all of our great microbreweries

[pokerfan]

17. Yeah it's all over up here

but if you really want to try something special, try Bridgeport IPA.

[gordontron]

18. yup we have it in seattle nt

[mdmc]

19. one of the best

along with O'dells in Fort Collins (both of them, I think).

[MrCoffee]

20. Yes, it's mighty good

[Megahurtz]

21. I think it's tasty.

Microbrews are my favorite.:beer:

[benny05]

22. Pretty Decent

Worth a present. Happy Birthday to your spouse. :toast:

[driver8]

23. No, but I've had "Fat Weasel Ale"! Seriously...they sell

Fat Weasel Ale at Trader Joes.

That is some strong Ale!!

[izzybeans]

24. I thought it was Colorado.

It's okay.

I prefer the Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown NY. Hennepin is where its at.

Here is a link to the brewery:

Fat Tire is good but there are so many beers to rival it. Pick a Saison, any Saison.

[likesmountains 52]

25. It's all my son and son in law will drink at my house...in Colorado

[meldroc]

26. From my hometown!

Fat Tire's great stuff.

I'd also recommend New Belgium's Sunshine Wheat, along with Odell's 90 Shilling, Easy Street Wheat and 5 Barrel Pale Ale.

We do not talk about that other brewery that makes factory beer out by the interstate...
