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 Space Invader by Amsterdam Brewing Company (Canada) at The GarrisonLate check-in from the other night. Great beer as always. Amused when the wrapper peeled off & it was a Radler can underneath.
- Greg C. is drinking a Pilsner by Mill Street Brewery at Mill St. Brew PubPerfectly acceptable Pils. Front end sweetness lingers a bit too long, but hops eventually cut through for a good herbal finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinMostly wipes the memory of the awful Simcoe/Mosaic version. Less hazy, more carbonation, and better balance. This is more like it.
- Greg C. is drinking a Half Way IPA - Across the Nation by Central City Brewers + Distillers at King & DufferinLacks the hazy appearance & lemony tang usually found in the style, but the wheat adds some lightness to this balanced old school IPA.
- Greg C. is drinking a Three Beasts - Across the Nation by Central City Brewers + Distillers at King & DufferinStarts with sweet tea before shifting to tangerine & grapefruit peel, pleasantly bringing to mind the classic US IPAs of a decade ago.
