It’s Here! It’s Here!
New Belgium beers
have finally made their way to the DC area. RFD in downtown DC had a
keep-the-glass event on Wednesday to introduce New Belgium beers, and I saw a
case full of 22 ounce bomber bottles today at a local Harris Teeter store.
If you’ve been
following this blog, or if you’re a fan of craft beer, you know that New
Belgium has been what I call a “Holy Grail” beer – beers that people will go to
great lengths to find. As of now, that
great length will be about a 3 mile drive to the grocery store! And New Belgium beer made up my first Beer
Run back in January – it seems so long ago!
At RFD, I split a
bomber bottle of NB’s Hoptober with a friend. Despite the name, Hoptoberfest is not a hoppy
Octoberfest beer. Rather, it is a blonde
or golden ale, with a lighter, slightly creamy feel and taste. It’s good, but I would say Victory Summer
Love is a bit better in this category.
