New Belgium brewery in Colorado (not sure what town) has some good IPA's. Best known for Fat Tire, Ranger and others. Ranger is my fave.

Te swill that comes out of New Belgium is fucking AWFUL.

They're out of Fort Collins and they are utterly horrific. I very, very rarely dump a beer into the sink after one swig but Fat Tire is execrable swill. I've had better homebrew. Hell, I've made better homebrew.

Odell Brewing Co. is a far better Fort Collins option. They are outstanding.

Second the shaming of New Belgium. Horrible beer. Barely fit for a barfly.

New Belgium is terrible. I don't think I've had one beer of theirs that is decent. If they sold Fat Tire at the price of High Life, that'd be one thing.

It would be two cheap shitty beers.

SURVEY SAYS......


Barf has no taste buds.

I'd rather drink High Life. At least it tastes like water going down. Fat Tire has a very discernible taste and that's discernibly god awful.

I'll sixth the vote down for New Belgium....Fat Tire tastes like dogshit but some people love it....go figure

if your ever out this way, one beer to definitely try to get ahold of is Deschutes Brewing "The Abyss"........I don't drink beer that much but that stuff is money

Yup. He really is this stupid, folks.

OK, "has fukk all to do with" was inaccurate, but, having places like DC and my own hometown, Hartford, Ct on the list, says that there is another factor and that factor is having the disposable income to pay 18 bucks a 12 pack rather than 14 bucks a 30 pack, or whatever it is they get for the mega-swill brands. This is not to say that we don't have a few real nice micros. I have pimped Thomas Hooker on here multiple times. There is also 10 penney brewery in e. hartford. But neither of these have the sort of market share that the "mega-micros" do. Can Sam Adams even be called a micro? They undoubtedly outsell a number of the old big makers.
