From the Bandit going eastbound and trucking to us finally getting the budwieser of the north (Yuengling), it is all such a case of cant have/must have. Everyone i know was killing Yuenglings dead when it first got here. Now everyone i know has resorted back to their regular cheap beer of choice. Same will go for Fat Tire. You will pick it up instead of Sweet Water for a while but eventually the novelty wears off. (all though in this case i think Fat tire will become part of the regular "session beers" as the porter would call it.) It’s funny the hysteria that comes from a beer not being available here.

I'd never heard of their environmental commitment before. I'm really looking forward to having Fat Tire in Atlanta. Your opinion of it being "decent enough" is different from mine -- I had it a couple of years ago on a trip to Wichita and loved it. Any specific date regarding when the brews at the new 5 Seasons will be available? Very cool report on New Belgium, Jeff — thanks. I’d never heard of their environmental commitment before.

Can you see the Board of Directors of a publically-owned company doing that, even now that it is cool to be green? I think not.

While I'm not as big of a fan of their beer as I used to be, it feels good to support a positive company like theirs.
