Sorry but I say NO! It was great beer six years ago befour Coors bought them. Now it just doesn't taste the same.

It's good. Given the choice between that and a Reverend, Rev would get my vote as Necur of the gods.

It's good (especially when from the tap), but I've had better.

Not sure where you heard that, but that is not true. Jeff and Kim would never sell out to a big brand, especially since the place is mostly employee owned.

Maybe you are thinking of Blue Moon, which is a brand started and marketed by Coors.

Back to the original topic. Fat Tire is good and I consider all good beers a gift from God. Just like bike brands, one person's favroite beer is another person's drain pour.

Just enjoy life with a cool beer and everything else will fall into place.

Enjoyable, but not tops. More places carry it making for a good choice when all the other bevs are from the AnheizMillCrs breweries.

I thought we established that Guinness is Nectar of the Gods about 3 or 4 threads ago?

Fat Tire is good but 1554 is better, like Justin said Optimator kick ass.

God, when did I become a beer snob?!?!? It seems like yesterday when Bud light out of the red keg cup was good stuff.

Default No doubt one of the best brews around

There are soo many brews to taste and enjoy. I love too many to settle down with just one. Now when it comes to other things that are equally as important as beer, I quote the wise words Confucius: "I Like Big Butts & I Can Not Lie!"

Definitely a cool name and label graphics, but I don't care

for the peat moss/ burned yeast flavor. I'm much more

into a clean crisp pale ale (Kona Brewing Co. Fire Rock Pale Ale).

Not among my faves (although the Abbey and the 2 Below are nice).

These guys don't make a straight amber, but I'm all for drinking local, and I'll take anything from their product line over Fat Tire.
