^^ bevmo carries avery's beers (at least in socal)

avery had an inauguration beer called ale to the chief (i just called it obama beer ever since it was released last summer) -- i loved it, unfortunately i think it's all gone (or at least i can't find it anywhere, i hope they release it again sometime)

i also love their maharaja, but that's also limited release

both were hoppy, but avery makes other styles too

now for the moment I've been waiting for

3/5/2009 4:49:17 PM

had some this weekend. it was ok, not great, but ok... no Victory or Sweetwater

3/5/2009 4:49:59 PM

Just picked some up at Harris Teeter @ Tryon Village. No 6-packs, just 22oz bottles. Also got a bottle each of 1554 and Mothership Wit. Anybody seen their Trippel anywhere?

3/5/2009 4:56:04 PM

I'm going to go purchase some Fat Tire tonight.

3/6/2009 7:40:01 PM

(hopefully get my wife to purchase it for me!)

3/6/2009 7:41:11 PM

Man, I had a pretty good beer at Tobacco Road. Its one of their specials, it was a little too sweet but paired well with my dinner.

3/6/2009 7:52:29 PM

got a bottle of this in harris teeter yesterday, pretty good

also picked up some Sweetwater 420, didn't know you could get that in Gboro.. only ever seen it in Boone

3/6/2009 7:58:00 PM

Sweetwater was supposed to have made it's way to the Raleigh Durham area according to their website. Anyone confirm? Greensboro is interesting, which store?

3/6/2009 8:23:03 PM

i've heard of the sweetwater mess... isn't it some sort of hippy beer?

3/6/2009 8:24:11 PM

Took this last night at Krogers for you twwers.

3/6/2009 8:25:56 PM

i had a few bottles of fat tire last night. it was good.

3/7/2009 8:30:41 AM

Lowes Food has only the 22oz 3.50 bottles. Not even 6 packs. Cashier said they'd rather we overpay for the 22oz. wtf?

3/7/2009 2:04:00 PM

^^
ditto

3/7/2009 2:05:06 PM

the bartender at our local bar is pushing the amber real hard. apparently if we drink enough, we get it on tap

3/7/2009 2:05:45 PM

^^they will roll out with a more varied selection soon enough.

3/7/2009 2:06:26 PM

I also picked up a 1554 & a Mothership... the local HT had all three for $3 each

3/7/2009 2:07:14 PM

The 1554 was really good I thought. Picked up all three also. I want to try their Trippel, but don't know where to find it.

3/7/2009 2:30:05 PM

they're only selling the bombers of Fat Tire, Mothership Wit and 1554 in NC for the time being, the rest of their lineup as well as kegs and seasonals should follow in the next few months.

3/7/2009 2:35:06 PM

i heard good things about sunshine wheat

3/7/2009 5:40:29 PM

just tried it today... QUALITY brew

3/16/2009 8:43:39 PM

tried a deuce of the mothership wit the other day. i wasnt blown away.

3/16/2009 11:13:30 PM

<- lives in Denver.

I'll trade you Fat Tire for Yuengling.

"fat tire is my least favorite out of the new belgium beers but it is still solid...I remember their winter beer being fantastic and every other beer from them has been pretty solid"

fat tire tastes like soap compared to most brews in CO, it was really good the first couple times i tried it, but now it just doesn't hold a candle to other beers i've found here

Quote :

"Sunshine Wheat is incredible with a bit of lemon."

i concur, good wheat beer, probably next best to blue moon.

Quote :

"there are much better colorado beers."

but i agree with the sentiment, it's good to have new belgium beers for selection in Raleigh, they are good beers

How did I miss this thread. I saw a damned Fat Tire 18-wheeler rolling down Gorman St. the other day, and thought it was a really odd since I'd never seen Fat Tire anywhere around here. This thread explains all.

3/16/2009 11:39:03 PM

i just had their amber ale for the first time the other night. that shit is off the hook!

3/16/2009 11:53:37 PM

Fat Tire truck was spotted unloading in front of Jackpot moments ago.

if you think Blue Moon is the best wheat beer you have terrible taste in beer

3/17/2009 12:43:47 PM

I agree

6/2/2009 9:35:35 PM

Harrisons was out of Fat Tire the last time I was there

6/2/2009 9:36:39 PM

Had a Fat Tire tonight after the restaurant was out of Duck Rabbit & Highland

6/2/2009 9:54:05 PM

Head to The Flying Saucer, they have some incredible Belgian beers

6/2/2009 10:15:15 PM

I had my first Fat Tire the other night. I enjoyed a few of them.

6/2/2009 10:55:41 PM

idk if anyone has mentioned it (I don't feel like reading through 3 pages) but I saw it on tap at Mellow Mushroom on Sunday..

6/2/2009 11:06:51 PM

Its on tap at a few places. They've got it on tap at The Bar too.

6/2/2009 11:11:59 PM

[Edited on June 2, 2009 at 11:12 PM. Reason : MM]

6/2/2009 11:12:25 PM

Hibernian has it on tap too. so does The Oxford.

6/2/2009 11:12:43 PM

oh.. just tryin to help out

6/2/2009 11:20:28 PM

it's good to know where fat tire is on tap. i love that beer.

6/2/2009 11:21:57 PM

oh.. k wasn't sure if that was like a "duhhh" or "here's a list of places"

I think I had it once.... or maybe it was Tire Bite

6/2/2009 11:24:18 PM

i love seeing the 18-wheelers driving around raleigh....

6/2/2009 11:41:17 PM

6/4/2009 11:57:18 AM

the stab-n-grab near oakwood has it - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

sixpacks not 22's, woot

6/4/2009 11:58:27 AM

I randomly went into a Kroger in North Raleigh and they had six packs of Skinny Dip!!

6/4/2009 12:30:36 PM

The Harris teeter in cameron village has six packs of all the New Belgium stuff for 6.99 right now.

I really wonder how this beer got so ridiculously popular. Was it a fantastic marketing plan by the brewery or did it just organically take on this cult status? In my opinion it's just an above average amber ale. It's pretty good, but nothing to get excited about.

6/4/2009 12:32:49 PM

Now in Charleston. We've got a couple different 22's, gonna have it on tap in about a week. Pretty good stuff.
