Tried Fat Tire beer for the first time

[smokeasaurus]

Now ya know my love for Colorado Kool-Aid.......and for cheap beer 

But today, I wanted something different. I had my hands on a twelver of Shock Top, but then I saw this nice little red bicycle settin under a shady tree.

Where I have seen this picture before? It looks so familiar. Then I remembered it was Sparkys Avatar for a spell so the Shock Top went back and I grabbed a twelver of Fat Tire.

I am not some hoity toity beer advocate connoisseur. I am just a guy that is hot and sweaty and thirsty that likes the taste of a cold beer and likes to pop a top around the old grill and smoker.

Fat Tire is a darn good beer. It wont replace my original Coors but it will be in my regular rotation I figure........

Like original coors better than coors lite!
I like getting "Gucci beers" on tap when out & about

as well it should.  I've been drinking FT for along time.  it is very refreshing.  and the red bike is cool.  always thought that would be a nice tattoo.

They do make a very nice session beer, don't they?  For anyone who enjoys experiencing new beers, I give two thumbs up to the Flying Saucer mini chain of craft beer pubs.  If you're in Texas, or any of the other states they list on this map I strongly urge you to give them a try ... and they have pork belly sandwiches on the menu as well.

I've never been much of a beer drinker, I tend to favor the distilled spirits.

but we started tasting all the micro and macro brews along the way on our Pacific northwest trip. The Mrs has latched on to Ambers and I am in a Dark/Stout way.

I like FT, the Mrs not so much.

Beer is the reason we have this forum

Last time we were in Memphis we put quite a session in at the Flying Saucer. I love beer.......so I was literally a kid in a candy store there. The food was pretty good. Great place to people watch. My group of six guys was on the Buffalo River in AR for five days, and then we went to Memphis for 2 days. Lots of fun, BBQ, beer, and music!!!!!!!

Had my first FT while skiing out in Vail two years ago.  I've had a lot more since!
Good stuff!

I cant stand coors light.....terrible stuff.....give me the Banquet Beer anyday.

I am basically a Shiner Bock person. I prefer the Shiner Black Bohemium dark beer and I am very partial to the Shock Top Orange.

If you have a chance to go to a craft brewery for tasting, do so. Relic Brewing in Connecticut is one of the best in that State.

Fat Tire is my wife's favorite as well. When I have a beer, it's usually a Guinness.

Negra Modelo for me!

I like to drink FT, as well as my Yeungling.  I have visited the brewery twice.  Since my wife doesn't like beer, I get to drink her samples.  She drives after that.

I really like FT. It is a good beer.

A beer I am drinking right now that I really like is the Blue Moon Agave Nectar Ale. Really good stuff.

I guess my favorite beer would be Chimay.

Art, Yeungling is a very nice brewery, great products. If you ever get to Wisconsin, try New Glarus just about everything they make is excellent, unfortunately they do not distribute out-of-state.
