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.

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.
X2 - lived in Wisconsin for 10 years - great breweries.

I like really dark beers: Negra Modelo, Black Butte Porter, and Guiness (but only draft).  However, one of my favorite ways to enjoy beer is on a really hot day after doing yard work, or when in a new town, in a micro brewery.  I'll always ask for a sampler tray, that typically contains from 6-8 beers that they are proud of.



Of course, it never hurts to sample the beer with a brat with sauerkraut, and a side of garlic potatoes  ;D

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.

FT are good.  Enjoy the blue moon a lot.  shock top are good. 

I think I have posted in the past but anyone try Trappist Westvleteren 12 (XII).  Pretty good stuff.  Lucky enough to make the trip when in Holland.  The experience was the best part. 

but when golfing I like me some water aka coors light

I was all but weaned on Coors (the only one at the time!).  Born about 35 miles from the Golden Brewery, went to school in Boulder.  Guess where we went every Saturday morning?   Yup, to the brewery, take the tour and get our two free drafts!    Like so many others, dislike Coors Light--might as well drink yellow colored water, IMHO!   As popular as Coors is around here, far too many places don't carry anything but the Light.   I just order water and tell them I won't be back til they stock the Original Coors Banquet!

I have had a bunch of family that have worked at the Golden Plant. My Mom has all kinds of Gold Leaf crystal that my Uncles would send her from Coors. As much as I love Fat Tire, it will not replace my Original Coors.........

I'm with African on this one..Me and 2 other girls went to Milwaukee to the Pabst Brewery to take the tour..we had about 20 minutes before the next tour so the put us in the beer garden. The beer was flowing and we got wasted and never went on the tour. Don't remember driving home either..those were the good old days. PBRME ASAP. ☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི

I've been a huge fan of Fat Tire for many years when a friend of mine had an ice chest full of them at the races, they offered me one, I was hooked.  I've been a fan of Sam Adams for a long time and Fat Tire is right up there with them in my beer fridge.  Also at the top of my list is Newcastle, I have a BeerTender that holds 5L mini kegs of Newcastle. It fits nicely on the countertop in the kitchen of my 5th wheel, nice to have that Draught taste while cooking in the great outdoors on a camping trip.

Fat Tire is a darn good beer.

I saw that the Class XI is stocking Fat Tire and based on your opinion I will give it a try. 
Thanks

Like so many others, dislike Coors Light--might as well drink yellow colored water, IMHO!

That pretty much sums up how feel about all the major brands of beer Coors, Budweiser, Miller light or regular, to me they all taste like flavored water.   Once I got hooked on craft beers from microbreweries my taste buds just don't tolerate the American style lagers anymore.

Piggly Wiggly ad in Wednesday's paper advertised Fat Tire beer for $8.99 a 6 pack. I had read we would get it here in Alabama Feb 1. I will run to the Pig this weekend and pick up a 6 pack and maybe cook up  a slab of Sparky ribs for Super Bowl Sunday. Happy, Happy, Happy!

I'm going to get a six pack for the birthday party tonight, if I can find it.... Piggly wiggly here I come. Publix has it too I think.
 My go to in the fridge beer is Red Hook and Red Stripe. Although I drink very little most of the time.
I have been on an ale kick lately, but it's pricey...
