Fat Tire is probably my favorite beer I know I can get anywhere. If I go to a restaurant or a small bar that doesn’t have a large beer selection, this beer is usually on it. It is a very popular beer by none craft beer drinkers, which I think is good because it means more people could branch out and not order a Bud or Miller light. I think if people try this beer more people would maybe look into other beers New Belgium has so offer and try a style beer they weren’t planning on. I think this is a great gateway beer. What I mean is if you are thinking about trying a beer you don’t see plastered all over TV or advertised at every sports game, but are not really sure what you like or where to go, this beer is perfect. This is a medium amber ale style, not to dark and not to light. Fat Tire makes it easy to branch away from a popular pilsner and try something new. I think that is what I like most about this beer: the availability and the quality are not something you normal see with every company. I honestly love the flavor of this beer. It is very easy to drink, but still offers a great flavor. The smoothness and refreshing taste is something that I feel is key in amber ale. Without that you really are not getting anything out of your beer you wouldn’t get out of a branded pilsner. I Usually drink an amber style with a meal, or when eating a lot of different flavors, because I feel it pairs so well with them and still has a flavor unlike most pale ales I have tried. While fat tire is not the darkest amber ale it still has a brown color over some other more orange beers I have seen in the amber department. When poured correctly it doesn’t usually have much a head, which speaks for its flavor. I think New Belgium has done a great job with this beer and I must give credit to there marketing team, to have Fat Tire this available and popular while still staying away from terrible beer ads that bring down the creditability of the company is something to be very appreciated.
