beernesday

just a couple of pics from last night's launch of new belgium in vancouver:   besides the fact that they tried to poison me by feeding me "vegetarian" pizza that in fact contained a whole lotta meat sausage under the cheese, it was good times beerthirst brought in plenty of new belgium beers for us to quaff - i made it through three of the four flavours, but was too tipsy to have a fourth the pluot was a fruity little beer - very refreshing for summer (and paired nicely with the sausage pizza, lord help me) the heavenly feijoa was unpronounceable but a very nice belgian that paired well with the deep-fried spring rolls and prawns i was shovelling in my gob the ranger ipa is one of my faves and did not disappoint as my final beer of the night thanks beerthirst! and totally unrelatedly, 21 reasons you should drink more beer

lucky me! this is where i'll be this evening: NEW BELGIUM INDUSTRY PARTY hosted by beerthirst where i will enjoy live music, canapes and 4 New Belgium beers on tap (Fat Tire, Ranger IPA, Pluot and Heavenly Feijoa) some days it is very good to be me! beerthirst says this about the brewery: New Belgium is a 100% employee owned brewery located in Fort Collins, Colorado. It was founded in 1991 after home brewer, Jeff Lebesch, took his passion commercially. As of 2010, New Belgium was the third-largest craft brewery and seventh-largest overall brewery in the United States. The company continues to flourish with CEO, Kim Jordan, and they've been recognized as one of Outside Magazine's Best Places to Work and one of the Wall Street Journal's Best Small Businesses.
