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 Rhyme & Reason by Collective Arts Brewing at The RivoliWork outing at a place where I spent a lot of time many, many years ago. The beer selection is much better now than it was then.
- Greg C. is drinking a Barn Owl Blend No. 3 by Bellwoods Brewery at King & Dufferin16 month old bottle. Carbonation is weak, but the flavour still pops with sharp lemon & Peach and a bit of funky Brett. Lovely!
- Greg C. is drinking a Wagon Jobber by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin1st beer I tried from opening day purchases, and it's a promising start. Bright and clean with great tropical and grapefruit flavour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Strawberry Rhubarb Jelly King by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinThe non-fruited JK remains the best version IMO, but this is still a nice variation, with the rhubarb working especially well.
- Greg C. is drinking an Upper Reaches - Across the Nation by Central City Brewers + Distillers at King & DufferinAn odd one. There's something in the malt bill that strikes me as not quite working, but the peach takes a bit of the edge off.
