Et tu New Belgium? A dear John letter.
Dear New Belgium,
For some time now, skylark and I have had an argument. He has claimed that you were unimaginative. He claimed that all your beers tasted the same. He claimed you weren’t the awesome microbrew heroes you claimed to be.
And all this time I defended you. I said “No, 1554 is original!”. “New Belgium is awesome”. “They GET it.” I believed it in my heart… and then I saw this.
There you were, nestled up next to the Pabst Blue Ribbon. And me, standing there mouth agape. How could I face skylark now? It’s like I was the guy angrily defending the fidelity of his best girl…while she bangs some guy under the bleachers at the monster truck rally.
Good bye New Belgium. You can keep the singing fish plaque and the Garth Brooks CD. You’ll need it where you’re going.

New Belgium… In a can? What is the world coming to?

I think the beer bubble has popped….just like the dot com and housing bubbles have.
Frosty ‘Goodnesses’ may be fewer and far between these days.
Where’s my government beer bailout??

Hey, if they degrade in quality a few more notches, they just might make it onto my list. Let me know if they start selling in 40 ounce bottles!
