This is one of the very first craft beers I started with. My cousin, who lived in Colorado, knew I was collecting balloon tire bicycles and bought me an advertising sign. Of course I had to try it and it's been one of my go to beers ever since. A lot of great memories go with drinking this beer.

One of the first craft beer's I tried in the early 90s , it wasn't even available where I liked in Michigan. You could still get t-shirts and bike jerseys though, which has the cool fat tire labels on them. Friends who traveled west would always bring me a 6 pack. I loved the smooth almost biscuity flavor for year's. Now they changed the recipe, it's lighter, and a bit more hop forward. Gone is the smooth bready mouthful. It's still alright, but just tastes like other beer's on the market now . One of the reasons I pass it up in my store ,is the distributor choice not to offer it in cans in my area, they carry all of New Belgium's other offerings in cans. I don't think the distributor should be able to decide how I should be able to enjoy my beer.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Fat tire ale was a good flavored beer that was easy to drink. I enjoyed it along with meals and also just sitting outside, relaxing. I would buy this beer again to take to cookouts or other events with friends.

Searching for a case of the amber. Looking high & low for the familiar red & blue label with the comforting image of a shimmering red cruiser. My local corner store seems to be out. They are never out of the amber. Despair begins to creep in, where follies and fun once resided. Alas! I see a blue label with enticing silver script. Is this a mirage? Is this the mighty Pacific Ocean? No, it's the new Fat Tire! Tears of joy roll down my face as I ease a case of the new amber into my cart and then onto my cruiser for the ride home. Try it. You'll love it.

I'm going to be honest, I was introduced to Fat Tire while in college and found it to be a good beer, however, I soon forgot about it. Awash in microbrews in the ensuing years, until one day I was served an ad for a rebranded Fat Tire. Frankly, I was angry that a good beer would need rebranding and an updated recipe and was determined even more not to drink it. Then my family and I relocated to CO and found ourselves in Ft. Collins. My wife and I had been trying to get to the New Belgium brewery for a tour for a decade. We finally did and the tour was phenomenal. It really blew our hair back. I was coaxed into trying Fat Tire again and you know what, it was equally amazing. I have been buying twelve packs on the regular since. I even picked-up one of New Belgium's rad corduroy Fat Tire hats. It's a stunner and I am a proud supporter. Keep rolling New Belgium. You're doing it right.

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I love the full bodied, very satisfying taste of New Belgium Fat Tire. The taste sells me on this beer, but an additional bonus is that they are a carbon neutral company. I care about companies that care about US. I would definitely pick a company that cares about the world's future over one that doesn't. Thank you New Belgium for making a great beer and caring about your community!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Fat tire is a solid choice for any beer enthusiast. While it won't blow your socks off or anything, it is a dependable American beer for nearly any occasion. It seems that every beer these days tries to add odd flavors or themes in order to catch the public eye, I like that fat tire is able to just be a standard American ale without any gimmicks. That being said it has enough flavor to stand out from the competition without having extreme levels of hops that while melt your tongue. All and all I would give Fat Tire a solid 6.2 out of 10 on a Portnoy scale.

Fat tire was one of the first craft beers I tried and there was no looking back! As a long islander the beer that got me into craft was Blue Points Hospital Illusion. And I thought, what a great local beer. Cool. But then! Fat tire truly opened my eyes to the world of craft beer - and even made the trip out to Colorado to do a brewery tour a few years after that! Cheers!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I overall enjoyed this beer. I found it smooth and drinkable. It's similar to other domestic beers, like Budweiser or coors, but its craft beer roots shine through and raise its quality up. I would definitely drink it again.
