Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Do you like Fat Tire? How about Ranger IPA?
If so, you'll be getting more of both in February when New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins releases both beers in sixteen-ounce cans. The two beers will be the brewery's first tallboys and they'll be among the first to be produced in Colorado.
New Belgium is also working on a recipe for a brand new beer, which will designed and marketed specifically for the sixteen-ounce package, says brewery spokesman Bryan Simpson. The name and style of that beer haven't yet been released.
Oskar Blues is also planning to can tallboys of its Great American Beer Festival-award winning Deviant Dale's IPA and release them next year. Two smaller Colorado breweries, Eddyline and Dolores River, already make tallboys.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
