Fat Tire is the finest beer ever. Get it on tap if you can (Date added: 5/4/98)

Ever since I started to drink Fat Tire, I have a hard time trying anything else. I work at a liquor store on the west slope and everytime someone from out of CO comes in I have them try a Fat Tire and they always come back saying how much they like them. I have even gotten friends that like reg. beer hooked on Fat Tire. I even have friends out in CA that wish they could get the beer. Keep on making it and I'm ready to try any new beer too! Thanks for a great beer! (Date added: 3/12/98)

world class beers produced in a quality facility. My favorite beer of all time has to be Fat Tire, a mellow amber ale of exceptional quality. Makes me wonder if they'll ever treat the entire North American continent to their classic beers, yet I'd wonder about the scale up- if it would compromise quality. Everywhere I travel, I look for a comparable ale and have yet to find it! (Date added: 12/19/97)

Fat Tire and Old Cherry were some of the best beers in Colorado until they moved to their new digs and began mass producing. I miss the Fat Tire of 5-6 years ago when there was a good layer of yeast at the bottom of the bottle. I'm still waiting for Jeff and Kim to come out with Fat Tire Classic. Remember Coke-Cola? Their Old Abbey and Trappist Style are still good. (Date added: 12/11/97)

When on my deathbed, forget about hooking me up to an IV filled with life-saving drugs. All I need is to be pumped full of Fat Tire. If there's a better beer, please, somebody tell me. (Date added: 9/24/97)

Sunshine Wheat is amazing...don't pass it up. Fat Tire very mello smooth with the slight hint of roasted grain. Excellent job guys. (Date added: 6/3/97)

FAT TIRE AMBER ALE IS A WORLD CLASS BEER! WHEN I WAS IN FORT COLLINS. I SHOULD HAVE LOOKED FOR NEW BELGIUM INSTEAD OF GOING TO BUDWEISER. (Date added: 4/16/97)

Some of the best beers to ever come out of Colorado (or the West in general). Haven't been there (but I've had their beers MANY times), but it is reported to be a sight to see. A must visit!

(Update: 12/1/97) - Well, I have been there now. The brewery is a great sight for those of you that are beer geeks. It is almost totally automated -- all from one computer terminal. The brewery will also be using a swing fitting set-up very soon that will allow then to operate without any hoses. Anyone that has done any work in a brewery can tell you how wonderful that is. If you are in the area stop by for a tour and free samples. The place is fairly easy to find with a good map. Cheers!
