Tour de Fat - Boise random pics
Thanks to New Belgium Brewing for hosting the Tour de Fat, a huge
bicycling party at a big park here every year. This last one was great, but almost too big. Some random shots from the first half of the day, mostly the costumed Cruiser parade ride through town. We had over 1200 riders from the "official" counter. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7728613...414463/detail/ And let's hear it for New Belgium 1554 ! CDB the Paladin, accept no cheap substitutes. |

Outstanding! :-) What an awesome day my man. -grig |

They are such a great company. They are giving me 6 kegs for the Buffalo Creek Epic Weekend in two weeks. Next year we are going to make it more like a Tour de Fat. They are going to bring the Green Stage for my band. -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws |

New Belgium is the coolest brewery and has some of the best beers. Thanks for posting up the fun, CBD. JD |

Julia Davis park is one of the things I miss the most about Boise. I even went there one crisp fall day just to rake up a huge pile of leaves for my daughter. Been to a couple of those Boise Tour De Fat events. How about those crazy drunken guys with the bicycle midway? My daughter tried the bicycle-driven merry-go-round. Anybody tried the Black Hawk Stout from Mendocino Brewing Company? To my taste this is almost as good as the Guinness that I got for my birthday. I'll drink Fat Tire ale once in a while, but I like a little bit of variety. Dave |

I learned to swim in Lake Mendocino in Northern California about 40yrs ago.. I'm not a big fan of NB beer, except their 1554 or Trippel. But they really do a lot for biking. CDB |

But I buy NB often because of their support for biking and their excellent green efforts.

First time I had that was when you jokers came to town the first time. Good stuff. But man, I'm so hooked on Deschutes Twilight that I can't see straight to buy NB right now.. el Paladin or King Alotta Kahonee: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...4877590&size=o and lest we forget: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...4884402&size=o |

I'm also not all that fond of Skinny Dip, but the wife really likes it. To me Fat Tire is good, but not great. And why do they make it their flagship beer? I'd bet it's the popularity and successful marketing (name recognition) behind it. Might as well go with what's successful. Matt |
