Hangover Thursday: Fat Tires in the Motor City

It’s Hangover Thursday, how’s your head? I had my heart broken twice at the bar last night. First when I found out Southern Tier’s Mocha was already sold out on draft and then again when the Red Wings lost to Columbus. Detroit fans have nothing to worry about though, the Wings have already clinched a spot in the playoffs. They have something else to look forward to, come August they’ll be able to enjoy Fat Tire Amber Ale.

New Belgium will start with 22oz bottles. 12oz bottles and draft will follow. 22 Michigan distributors will be carrying their beer. Fat Tire Amber is their most known, but New Belgium has more than just one beer to offer. The 1554 Black Ale is also a very nice beer. Michigan is the 29th state to be added to New Belgium’s distribution area. Still no Florida though. That may be one of the reasons I like it so much, it is so hard for me to get.
