    Hey Everyone,

    I am in need of some beer-location services. Does anyone know if I can find it in Connecticut? I've had a few friends confirm that they've found it before, but I've had zero luck.

    I've also tried New Belgium Brewing's website, but results were inconclusive. Any and all help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    You can't find it it is not distrusted in the Northeast.

    Fat Tire is never to be trusted IMO

    Thanks everyone. It's a bummer as I was looking to try it but based on some of your posts, it sounds like it's worth skipping.

    Fat tire is a nice amber ale, but there are many around that are just as good.

    New Belgium is building a big new brewery in NC to expand their East Coast distro, so I am sure they will hit Mass in the next 2 years. They make a lot of great beer outside of Fat Tire

    IMO, it is arguably their worst. Not a Fat Tire fan at all.

    For as much as geeks rail against Fat Tire, they will be frothing to get NB' s limited stuff WHEN (not IF) NB eventually makes its way to New England. Personally I look forward to fresh well-priced 12 packs of Ranger IPA & Blue Paddle Pilsner from their new NC facility.

    Would you have any suggestions? That's my problem right now, I feel like I've tried a bunch of different beers lately and have trouble finding new stuff.

    Look them up under beer styles on this site.

    We usually recommend Rouge Dead Guy or Thomas Hooker Nor'Easter... Neither are amber ales but I find both of these beers comparable in some ways to New Belgium's Fat Tire...

    Thimble island american ale is a solid option too, or ommegang rare vos, tons of options though
