The New Belgium Brewing Co is located in Colorado (Ft. Collins?). They don't do a very good job of actually emulating Belgian beers. For that I recommend the Ommegang Brewery in New York or Celis (if they are still even around) for their Wit.

Fat Tire is ok. Prefer to have it with dinner than by itself.

i dont like fat tire. too hoppy, especially for an amber ale
~gR~

Fat tire isn't too hoppy for my tastes, it just sucks a dick. it's not fun to drink.

Then again, i had some rainier and PBR this evening, so i have no room for talking about good beers at the moment.

But i did have some kickass tequila, but that's for another thread

(someone please start a hard liquor thread)

I just tried The Abyss from Deschutes Brewery

An Imperial Stout that was ranked 5th best in the world I believe, it cost me a pretty penny but it is sooooooo worth it. It is extremely dark and thick with notes of coffee, licorice, vanilla, and semi sweet chocolate all aged in bourbon soaked oak barrels, just plain amazing.

Man, the abyss rules! and who the fuck is this dude from Oly who likes kick ass beer AND turisas? We need to go have a pint sometime man!

Off Topic: @ DoomsdayZach Aye, that sounds like a fine idea, I don't really know many people in the area as I am a bit of a college attending hermit. By the same token I don't go to many bars either so I don't have extensive knowledge as to what is and what is not good in the area, though I have tried the Pints & Quarts in Lacey which is fairly decent.

On Topic: Drinking the Russian Imperial from Stone brewery again, it is a little bit spendy but it is soooo good.

Surprisingly the Pints & Quarts in the mall is a lot better for selection. It's a total trendy place with a ton of bros, but a good selection on tap. Also, the eastside downtown is good for beers. They have a lot of local microbrews on tap that are delicious... They had The Abyss on tap in fact.

Now having a local - Sweetwater Brewing IPA. Decent little beer. Wouldn't go out of my way for one though.
