10-second beer review: New Belgium Trippel

While New Belgium‘s transformation through the years from kick-ass Colorado craft brewer to pretty big time national brewer resulted in a predictable decline in quality of the product, it must be acknowledged that the Trippel remains a not-half-bad Belgian for your basic no-special-occasion drinking pleasure. 1554 isn’t bad, either.

I wish Fat Tire was what it was back in 1993, though. Also, bring back Old Cherry.

  • What’s the problem w/Fat Tire. Tastes the same to me.

    • The same as it did in 1993? No, back then it was richer, tastier. It’s just about impossible to take something from micro to mass without sacrificing quality, and FT is as good an example as I can think of.
