Let’s face it, we all have a few family members that are just impossible to buy for. They kind of like everything, but don’t actually love anything in particular. Now, there are a couple ways to address the gift giving process for these folks. You can approach the gift as the ultimate challenge, painstakingly researching their every move to find just-the-right present to light up their eyes. Or, you can give them the gift that’s guaranteed to be a hit. That’s right: we’re talking about beer, and we’ve got one for every family member. Fat Tire Few brews (maybe none?) are as much a sure-fire bet as Fat Tire. It pairs well with myriad meals, stands the test of time and is well suited for w...

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means heaps of food washed down by pints of beer. Sure, you could just serve any old beer that’s in your fridge, but that really wouldn’t give your guests something to give thanks for would it? Over the next week, we’re gathering some of the great minds at the brewery to point out the perfect New Belgium beer and Thanksgiving spread pairings. So, get out your notebook: Today Lauren Salazar, wood cellar and specialty brand manager, walks through the perfect sour beer pairings. Good idea: Contrast “The fun thing to do with sour beers is contrast. Gamey cuts of meat. Confit. Rillettes. Pâté. Sour beers cut through the fattiness and highlight oth...

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means heaps of food washed down by pints of beer. Sure, you could just serve any old beer that’s in your fridge, but that really wouldn’t give your guests something to give thanks for would it? For the last installment of “How to pair New Belgium with Thanksgiving,” we’re taking a look at hops. Brewery analyst Matty Gilliland and Liquid Center manager Michael Bussmann point out some genius ways to incorporate New Belgium’s hoppier offerings into a Thanksgiving feast. OK, first things first: IPAs and imperial IPAs aren’t exactly the easiest styles to pair alongside a Thanksgiving meal. “They can be pretty overpowering,” says Gilliland. “Thanksgi...

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, which means heaps of food washed down by pints of beer. Sure, you could just serve any old beer that’s in your fridge, but that really wouldn’t give your guests something to give thanks for would it? For the third installment of “How to pair New Belgium with Thanksgiving,” we’ve got Grady Hull, assistant brewmaster, to walk us through all things Belgian, especially how to match Abbey and Trippel with your upcoming feast. Kick off the meal with Trippel: “Trippel is kind of an aperitif. It would go toward the beginning of the meal, and probably pair really well with your salad. It’s kind of a warming aperitif, but it’s a big, strong beer that doesn’t o...

Fun Massachusetts facts: the Boston subway is the oldest in the U.S., Harvard was our country's first college, and it's home to the invention of volleyball. Another fun fact? Massachusetts is soon to be the 46th state in which we distribute our beer. That's right — New Belgium in New England is finally a reality! We'll start selling our brews in MA on Feb. 13, 2017. Read below for more info pulled from the press release (and get ready for NBB Massachusetts).  “Massachusetts is a great beer state with a long tradition of embracing good beer,” said New Belgium’s Northeast and Canada Division Sales Director, Rich Rush. “It’s a very competitive landscape and we aim to bring something new to ...
