Refreshing, a little quirky, and decidedly different - naturally.

This Belgian-style wheat beer works well on its own as an aperitif, but also pairs well with lighter fare such as salads with a citrus dressing. It can work surprisingly well with omelets made with apples and goat cheese. Some people enjoy this beer with a slice of orange as a garnish.

Named in honor of our founder Jeff's bike trip through Belgium, Fat Tire Amber Ale marks a turning point in the young electrical engineer's home brewing. Belgian beers use a far broader pallet of ingredients (fruits, spices, esoteric yeast strains) than German or English styles. Jeff found the Belgian approach freeing. Upon his return, Jeff created Fat Tire and Abbey Belgian Ale, (assuming Abbey would be his big gun). He and his wife, Kim traveled around sampling their homebrews to the public. Fat Tire's appeal quickly became evident. People liked everything about it. Except the name.

Best With: 
Chef Todd Davies, Partner of Tap House Grill, recommends fontina stuffed banana peppers with smoked chicken, fennel sausage, corn flan, and tomato fonduta. Spicy banana peppers cut the sweet malts, as the stuffing of the sweet hickory smoked chicken and fennel scented sausage complement, the fontina adds a pepperey element, complimenting the hops. The tomato sauce, cooked with fat tire, blends and smooths the ingredients, and the sweet corn flan cuts the spice, while adding and intensifying the sweetness of the malts.

Gingerbread Stout
Strength (ABV): 
9.0% ABV
Color (SRM): 
45º L
Bitterness (IBU):

Going back to the days of Dickens, we found our inspiration for this gingerbread stout. The traditional English stout, with its dark roasted malts, is the perfect backdrop for the warming spices of gingerbread like cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger. To go one step further, we increased the strength and added flaked oats to creates a velvety smoothness that mimics the taste of the gingerbread for a warming treat on any winter’s night.

Best With: 
(Per Samuel Adams website) Fried Oysters
