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. Lauren Limbach, Wood Cellar Director and Blender, also joins the fun, helping us pair our Sour Saison with the upcoming meal. Start the night off Sour: As your guests pour through the door, replace the typical cocktail hour offering of...

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 Limbach, wood cellar and specialty brand manager, returns to tell us how Fat Tire Belgian Style Ale and Fat Tire Belgian White are pretty much the best pairing beers ever (especially with Thanksgiving leftovers). Let's start with Fat Tire Belgian Style Ale: Good id...

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 this installment of “How to pair New Belgium with Thanksgiving,” it only makes sense to include our Accumulation White IPA into the mix.  As with Voodoo Ranger, it can be daunting thinking about what to pair a hoppier beer such as this one with the array of Thanksgiving offerings on the table. This foamy, bitter brew actually compliments more than you'd think-- but how about waiting to crack one open until the leftovers come out? LC Manager Michael...

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...

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 this installment of “How to pair New Belgium with Thanksgiving,” we’re taking a look at our very own Voodoo Ranger. Brewery analyst Matty Gilliland and Liquid Center manager Michael Bussmann point out some genius ways to incorporate Voodoo’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 Gillila...

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?

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 ...
