    New Belgium Brewery Products all the way....."wind powered, employee owned..in Fort Collins, CO" The makers of Fat Tire of course.
    Try their seasonal brew out now called Springboard Ale, or my "go to" beer their uniquely crafted Trippel (added bonus of 7.8% Alcohol content) very good beer...serve unchilled)
    If ever in Ft. Collins do their brew tour, its very informal and they give you four free sifter samples...mmmm...

    New Belgium doesn't distribute here in NY, but I have heard some good things about their beers.

    All of them are great, the brand itself kicks the crap out of everything else.

    i've heard good things about new belgium, too, but haven't seen it around anywhere. there are some online mail order beer shops that i've seen carry it, and it would be very high on my list of breweries i'd like to try products from...

    right now i'm on my second bottle of orval and had most of a bottle of samuel smith's oatmeal stout

    My favorite is always changing as I try new beers and further develop my palate. That said, a current favorite of mine is the Hazelnut Brown Nectar Ale by Rogue.

    Never heard of New Belgium. Would definately like to check them out. Anyone know if they distribute in East Tennessee? Sounds like a good drop.

    have you been to spain recently or whatever?

    the spanish one i don't like is san miguel... though people says it's one of the best beers in this country. moritz is the best one, but it's more expensive than the estrella damm or xibeca.

    yeah i agree i dont like san miguel too much. although, i found it to be the easiest to get in supermarkets when i was in barcelona. they didnt have the bottles of mahou anywhere.
    and yeah, I was studying in Segovia last year.

    The original San Miguel isn't a Spanish beer.... it's Filipino. There is a San Miguel brewery in Spain (Mahou-San Miguel) but it's completely different from the Asain one and is in no way related.

    yeah, they don't sell too much of mahou in barcelona, it's not a good-selling one, i imagine. what about segovia? i haven't been there yet. people been to the city told me it's very very beautiful.

    really? i didn't know about its filipino origins. so, much obliged for this information, pressed rat. i read that the asian one is pilsen ale while the consumed here in spain is more lager-like in character, am i wrong?

    Dude, that's hilarious. I love it when that happens. I got a $50 software at Best Buy for $20 cause the price tag was wrong.

    I would stock up on that beer. Sure the cashiers don't give a damn, and the stock boys may not even know, but sooner or later, a manager is going to find out and change it. Is it still like that even, or have they already found it out.
