Holy Grail of Beer

For any serious craft beer drinker the name New Belgium Brewing brings to mind one thing - Fat Tire Amber Ale, the Holy Grail of beer. But unless you've either lived in or visited the western USA during the past 10 years you've probably never been able to drink one of New Belgium's fine beers.

While visiting the in-laws, to my great surprise, I learned that New Belgium had started distributing several of their beers to Tennessee. We promptly set off on a beer run to find some of the elusive beer. After several unsuccessful tries we found several stores that had the beer in stock. We were able to buy all three of the beers available - 22oz bottles of Fat Tire Amber Ale, Mothership Wit, and 1554 Black Ale.
