New Belgium Brewing

La Folie Reserve elevates the expression of our iconic sour brown ale with a twist of luxury by featuring producers and ingredients at the top of their game. The award-winning Onyx Coffee Lab is just that. For this year’s rendition, we found the perfect pair to La Folie with Onyx’s Costa Rican yellow honey beans from the famed Las Lajas Farm, which we added to our foeder-aged dark sour blend to ‘steep’ for 48 hours. This process infuses the coffee’s aromatic essential oils for a giant coffee bouquet but does not impart any bitterness, so you experience something totally new — a tart fruit coffee explosion. Bottled on nitro for an enhanced texture and pillowy crema to achieve the cascade, this year's La Folie Reserve is one of the finest to emerge from the wood cellar.

"You drink beer like it's your job." Well..... what if it was? (Due to high demand, these positions are full and will be for the rest of time.)

25 years of beer, bikes, and bemusement. This year marks a quarter-century of?Tour de Fat, the world’s greatest costumed bike parade born here in Fort Collins. Sustaining such an event for over two decades requires two things: a good story and a good cause. On a July evening in 1999, Greg Owsley sat in his backyard with JB Shireman, sipping Fat Tires and brainstorming ideas for a signature bike event to promote the brewery’s flagship beer. Sure, New Belgium already sponsored several bike events around Colorado, but Owsley – then Chief Brand Officer – aimed to devise an event that countered the rigor of the era’s competitive cycling culture, led primarily by Lance Armstrong and a little-known bike race hosted by the French. "Where did I first find magic in the bike?" Owsley thought. He reflected on those long summer afternoons as a kid, where he spent countless hours on the bike with friends – building obstacle courses, fixing playing cards to the tire spokes, and even re-enacting the Alamo with bikes as horses. How to invoke that sense childhood wonder for the masses? How to get thousands of adults to celebrate the bike? To act like kids again, if only for a day? Essentially, what would the inverse of Tour de France look like? “I said, ‘Tour de Fat,” Owsley recalled. “Maybe it was the beer, but Jeff laughed and we felt we were onto something. The anti-competition, a celebration of the simply joy of riding a bike, getting to pedal your inner freak, act like kids again, yeah, like that.” 25 years later, Tour de Fat has made its way through dozens of cities across the U.S., encouraging thousands of people to partake in pedal-powered parties and bond over beer. The event has also raised millions of dollars for bike non-profits, including?Bike Fort Collins,?Send Town Bike Club,?Fort Collins Bike Co-op,?and the Overland Mountain Bike Association. “Whenever I meet someone about to swap their car for a bike at Tour De Fat, I’m filled with joy for them,” says Bryan Simpson, former brewery ‘spokes’-man. “It’s up to each and every one of us to find a reason to celebrate living lightly on this planet. In my experience, you cannot beat the bicycle for that.” Join us at the brewery this Saturday for another day of weird and wacky, featuring?Paul Cauthen,?Shady Oaks, and?Decker Rush?& Friends.
