More about New Belgium....

I sent an email directly to the brewery to see what they have to say... Here is their response...

HI Troy,

No, this is not an elaborate April Fool’s! Be assured: we may enjoy our whimsy but we are not tricksters. We are on our way to your home turf!

We are planning to be there by early July, hopefully in time for your favorite NBB brew with fireworks. We will begin with 22 oz bombers and then move to six packs etc. later down the road. Keep your eye out, stay in touch and we will look forward to the day when you can find delight in a cold one from us!

Cheers!

When I went to Minneapolis in November, there was a similar situation. I saw that New Belgium beers were available, but I only ever found the 220z "bombers". Can't complain about that, really; they did tend to have a decent variety in that size. I saw the Fat Tire, 1554 Black Ale, I think the Abbey, possibly the Sunshine Wheat, and definitely the Mothership Whit (possibly others, too).

A local purveyor of beers indicates on their site that New Belgium is coming. I also emailed them (before receiving a reply from New Belgium) asking when it would be available, but haven't heard anything yet. I tend to believe what the brewery is saying, though.
