FORT COLLINS, CO – Pioneering U.S. craft brewery New Belgium Brewing will soon be selling its beer in Canada for the first time.
In a press release issued earlier this month, it was announced that the brewery will be on hand to pour beer at the Great Canadian Beer Festival in Victoria on September 6th, after which three New Belgium brands – Fat Tire Amber Ale, Ranger IPA and a seasonal release – will be available in 6 packs and on draught throughout British Columbia. These will be followed in December by Rampant Imperial IPA and limited releases of beers from the Lips of Faith, Hop Kitchen and Trip series.
New Belgium has partnered with import agency Beerthirst for the British Columbia market. Distribution plans for other Canadian provinces have not been announced.

- Greg C. is drinking a Saturday Night Lumberjack by Barn Hammer Brewing Company at King & DufferinDarker & maltier than most modern DIPAs, but still plenty bitter as well. Brings to mind Arrogant Bastard, but a bit lighter on the palate.
- Greg C. is drinking a 191 Mӓrzen - Across the Nation by Red Racer at King & DufferinProperly malty with notes of breadcrust and caramel, herbal hops to balance. About 9 months from canning but it held up surprisingly well.
- Greg C. is drinking a Three Ring Circus by Block Three Brewing Co. at King & Dufferin3+ years old & showing its age so forgoing a rating to be fair. Seems like there’s probably a good beer behind the oxidization, though.
- Greg C. is drinking an Imagination Experiment Root Beer Stout by Dominion City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop BrewcoAroma & flavour are all about the root beer. Which is just fine for a root beer fanatic like me. Might be a bit much for others.
- Greg C. is drinking a Leave No Trace Pale Ale by Dominion City Brewing Co. at Bar Hop BrewcoHazy straw yellow. Light bodied, grainy character with top notes of citrus peel & green hop. “Crushable” I suppose but not much beyond that.
