5:00 Fridays

I imagine my drink today is named after what my midsection will resemble after I drink my weight in this brew. Fat Tire has arrived in Raleigh! My favorite beer, brought to us by the New Belgium Brewing Company in Fort Collins, Colorado, has made its North Carolina debut! We are officially a card carrying member of the Cool Kids Club. I squealed like a wingback Wanda-blue eye shadowed-lycra legginged-gold hoop earringed backstage mama at a toddler beauty pageant when I saw the delivery truck wind its way into the Harris Teeter parking lot yesterday.

And so today, I toast the fine decision makers at New Belgium Brewing Company who made this girl's dreams come true. Don't judge me for being over the top until you taste this fine amber ale. So good it's perfect out of the bottle. Don't waste a drop pouring it into a glass. Plus, the way I see it, a bottle is made of glass already.

Here's to a well-earned Fat Tire, no matter how you look at it.

Lucky you! NO one here sells that and when I've been in Colorado it's all I drink. Yum!

I'll have one at 5:00 in MN. We luckily have had it in the state for a couple of years. Cheers!

I had no idea it wasn't available in NC. It is all any of my college friends drank in KS. I even have a Fat Tire pint glass as a reminder.

I'm not a beer drinker myself (I know, deplorable) but my husband is so he'll be thrilled.

Fat Tire is good! I'm a Guiness man, myself. But come summer, when it's too dang hot for the black stuff, I might have to quaff a Far Tire.
