New Belgium Brewery - Fort Collins, CO
Best Beer:
New Belgium's Biere de Mars
While visiting the New Belgium brewery in Fort Collins last March, we took the tour. At one point we stopped for a tasting, and I asked the tour guide if we could try a beer that you couldn't get outside of the brewery at that time.
He poured us a Biere de Mars Ale. It was a great beer. The first thing we did was throw it back, it had a lemon taste that invited drinking.
Then he says "Ok, now taste the beer." Ours were gone. So he poured us another, it was just as good as the first.
He told us a story of how the head brewer at New Belgium, Peter Bouckaert (a belgian) loved how American's were so different than Europeans when it came to beers. If you hand a European a beer... they sniff it, they scrutinize it.
Hand a beer to an American and we drink it. Cause, hey, you might give us another.
