New Belgium Brewing Company is a craft brewery located in Fort Collins, Colorado. It opened in 1991 after Jeff Lebesch, the brewery's founder, took his homebrewing passion commercially. In 2011, it produced 712,800 barrels of its various labels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Belgium FAQ )〕 As of 2012, it was the third-largest craft brewery and eighth-largest overall brewery in the United States. Fat Tire, an amber ale, is the company's flagship beer. ==Beers== The Fat Tire recipe originates from a co-founder's bicycle trip through Belgium from brewery to brewery. The company promotes its Fat Tire ale locally by the public placement of colorful vintage bicycles outside its brewery, which is located adjacent to the public bike path along the Cache La Poudre River. In 2006 NBB changed its logo because they realized that beer drinkers could identify the Fat Tire label, but "didn't recognize the brewery label, or make the connection that New Belgium brewed Fat Tire and other best-selling brands, such as Sunshine Wheat." The company's new logo "pays homage to the well-known Fat Tire brand bicycle" drawn by Anne Fitch.〔 ''Esquire'' selected Fat Tire Amber Ale as one of the "Best Canned Beers to Drink Now" in a February 2012 article. The brewery makes nine year-round beers: *Fat Tire, an amber ale, New Belgium's flagship beer *Ranger IPA, an India pale ale (IPA) *Rampant Imperial IPA, an American double/imperial IPA *Shift Pale Lager, an American pale lager *Sunshine Wheat, an American-style wheat ale *1554 Black Lager, a Belgian dark beer *Blue Paddle Pilsner, a Czech-style pilsener *Abbey Belgian Ale, an abbey dubbel beer *Trippel Belgian Style Ale, a Belgian-style tripel New Belgium also makes various seasonal and limited-edition beers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Belgium Brewing Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
