Cons: None come to mind

Jeezo-criminey! From the looks of all the positive reviews about Fat Tire Ale that have been posted here, you might think I was some kind of communist or child molester for saying it, but I think it has to be said: "Fat Tire Ale just is not...

Pros: Worth drinking at this price
Cons: Nondescript, non-amber

I’ve seen a lot of ads and hype in the Chicago area lately for Fat Tire Amber Ale. I saw it at the local grocery and decided to see what all the fuss was about. I paid $2.89 for a 22-oz bottle. From the Internet and the bottle, I learned that ...

Pros: Enjoyable flavor; a very neat beer.
Cons: Limited distribution, but they're growing fast!

It is interesting to see the way American consumers work…er…buy. There are so many factors that play into our buying decisions, going way beyond the logical and obvious reasons to get something. Take my favorite consumable, beer, for example....

Pros: frees up capital for more deserving projects; gets the brewery's better beers noticed
Cons: not a terribly interesting beer in its own right

I just know in my heart of hearts that the good people of New Belgium Brewing love to brew beer. And I think it goes without saying they love making money, too. Everyone take a deep breath and moooooooooo -- Fat Tire is raking in the ...

Pros: a really good session beer
Cons: Doesn't come close to reputation

This is a beer that has attained a legendary status among fans of craft beer. It is especially rare East of the Mississippi River. That has led to a widely held notion that is a Holy Grail among beers. Given its scarcity on the East Coast, one can...

Cons: Not Available in all areas of the country yet

Going to college in Colorado Springs definitely had its privileges. The biggest privilege was the fact that some of the biggest micro-brew names today started in that area.

So when New Belgium brewing company started in 1991, I was sucking...

Pros: Rich, full bodied, fantastic tasting
Cons: $8.00 a six-pack

I have wanted to write about this beer for quite a while and finally I am afforded the opportunity. I grew up in Ft. Collins Co, where the brewery is located, however I didn't discover this beer until I was in Washington State serving in the Navy. I...

Pros: easy to drink, nicely balanced, great malty taste
Cons: a bit too easy to drink and too soft on the palate

I had the opportunity a few years ago to give New Belgium Brewing Company's Fat Tire Amber Ale a try. I have to admit, my first glass was only mediocre and managed to keep my from trying the beer again until fairly recently.

Thanks to a dear...

Pros: strong, good flavor
Cons: on the heavy side, calorie-wise

When I first moved to Boulder, CO, I hadn't even sat down in Old Chicago (the local bar that my friend directed me to) before there was a beer in my hand. I paused (only momentarily) to take a look at this dark brown liquid in front of me, then took a si ...

Pros: High-quality, flavorful brew.
Cons: Not always readily available.

As an avid Bass drinker, Fat Tire is my alternate brew of choice when I'm in the mood for a smooth, drinkable pale ale. Although clearly different brews (Fat Tire lacks the sweetness of Bass), I find the two equally pleasing in terms of quality....

Pros: well balanced flavors
Cons: none

I was drawn to New Belgium Fat Tire Amber Ale by the label. As an avid mountainbiker I was intrigued by a beer company that would put a picture of a bicycle on the label. In addition I really could not resist the name: Fat Tire. No other beer has a...

Pros: Well-balanced, bitey malt/hops flavor
Cons: Relatively obscure

Fat Tire Amber Ale is a great brew, a fine, deep yellow ale with a respectable head and bite to match. A few of them will fill you up, but they won't knock you so far down that you won't be able to find your way to the privy to let a few of them back...

Pros: Great flavor, generous company
Cons: not sold around the country yet

When you’re asked to evaluate Fat Tire, it’s hard to know where to start. Most beers you can just talk about the richness of the flavor, but there’s so much more when it comes to Fat Tire. The Beer: Fat Tire is the trademark ...
