Colorado-based New Belgium Brewing, the brewer of Fat Tire (the beer I get asked about the most) will debut in Florida on July 29, according to a news release. Distributor J.J. Taylor will handle their beers in our area.

Look for 22-ounce bottles of New Belgium's core beers: Fat Tire Amber Ale, Ranger India Pale Ale and 1554 Enlightened Black Ale, along with their summer seasonal Rolle Bolle Ale and their rotating Lips of Faith series.

Draft and 12-ounce bottles will appear in September, according to the release.

I know this news will make a lot of people who have been hankering for their beers happy.
