I'll post what the NBB people say as to when and how much I can get. I was thinking about 3 cases, but maybe more.
I told them that I would create a photo journey of FTIC - Fat Tire in Cans, travelling back east if they wanted. I'll decorate my trailer with pictures of FTIC's if they want. I just want to be able to haul some back east to share.
Yes, VIP. I'll be in the accessible RV section - though in a wall tent, not RV or camper. I'll be there fairly early on Thursday.

I need to ask a serious question and will probably get flamed for this, so let me appologize ahead of time for those I piss off with this, but what is so special about fat tire? I have tried it on more than one occassion and never been overly impressed. I find it to be mediocre at best. For some reason though, fat tire has a cult like following, can someone please explain to me why this is?

I like fat tire as a drinking beer. Some like the piss colored beers that are super marketed by the manufacturer. I think the best thing is that New Belgium Brewery is trying to build a product that responds to market concerns - eliminating the brown bottle. for 1 pound of packaging (bottle) material you get 3 bottles, whereas by using aluminum one pound produces 34 cans. Reducing transportation costs, improving the likelihood of recycling. Some like it, others do not. maybe the Blonde vs. Brunette analogy is comparable. Maybe it has some sentimental value that reminds the drinker of being out here in Colorado enjoying life.
I don't know, but I'll try to get my hands on some for people who do enjoy Fat Tire. hibouxdufromage, if I can get this stuff I'll get you a case. Idiodique(sp) I'll get you some also.
FLAMEFLAMEFLAME! What, are you some kind of COMMUNIST DEGENERATE ALIEN?!?!?!?!?!?
Seriously though, brother. It's just damn tasty. One of the better craft beers that is somewhat widely available (though unfortunately, not in TN).
I am used to being on quite few other boards that all feel the need to flame the hell out of people that dont agree with a thread. This is just an opinion, but for my money, I think when limited to beer in cans, Dale's Pale Ale by Oskar Blues is where its at. A lot of their other beers are great too. If you ever come across it, I suggest trying their TenFidy aged in whiskey barrels or Chubourbon aged in oak. As stone brewing says "fizzy yellow beer is for wussies."

I'll be bring Dales Pale Ale, but for drinkin' I like FT.
So far, [knocks on wood] most of Inforoo is free of flaming. The discussion of bands has caused some of it. I am aware of a person on another board who got into a flaming battle with someone who believes that he morphs into a wolf that caused the first guy to be fired. The wolf character contacted the first employer and reported his internet usage. I'll see if I can get ahold of some TenFiddy. I saw it a few weeks ago and it was EXPENSIVE.

BOO HOO, BOO HOO, BONNAROO
From New Belgium Brewery - 10:00 am today Hey Todd. I just looked at my calendar and realized that this date is next week. We won’t have it here either tomorrow, or next week. I’m sorry that I mistyped (misspoke)for you. We hope to have beer mid-June, no later than July here at the brewery and in distribution. We’ll miss out on Bonnaroo this year, but your next event in July we can have our cans there for you
