Fat Tire's Recipe Change and Sustainable Beer

<p>One of the earliest US craft beer icons from New Belgium, the one and only Fat Tire, has gone through a major overhaul.  New recipe, new logo, and new branding with sustainability at the forefront.   We pull out our last batch of the old recipe and drink it side by side with the new and debate which tastes better, what does it mean to be a carbon neutral beer, and whether sustainability actually sells.  And in true podcast fashion we’ll go off track with trivia about the brewery, pop culture from Fat Tire’s original release in 1991, and popular songs that were hijacked by movies.</p><p><strong>Featured Beer:     </strong></p><p>Fat Tire (old vs. new recipe).  New Belgium Brewing Company, Fort Collins, CO.  Amber / Blonde Ales. 5.2% ABV.</p><p><strong>Other Beer Related Shout-Outs:</strong></p><p>Voodoo Ranger Juice Force IPA</p><p>Torched Earth</p><p>Sierra Nevada Pale Ale</p><p>Paulaner Oktoberfest</p><p>Kirin</p><p>Michelob Ultra</p><p>Shiner Bock</p><p>Referenced Good Beer Hunting Article</p><p><a href="https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/sightlines/2023/1/12/new-belgium-fat-tire-gets-full-makeover-after-sales-tumble">https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/sightlines/2023/1/12/new-belgium-fat-tire-gets-full-makeover-after-sales-tumble</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Pop Culture References</strong></p><p>Bryan Adams “Everything I Do”</p><p>McRib</p><p>Harry Belafonte (RIP)</p><p>Beetlejuice</p><p>Leslie Nielson</p><p>Zoolander (Wham Wake Me Up)</p><p>Martin House</p><p>Reservoir Dogs "Stuck in the Middle with You"</p><p>Kenny Loggins</p><p>Forrest Gump "Fortunate Son"</p><p>Office Space "Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta"</p><p>Wayne's World "Bohemian Rhapsody"</p><p><strong>Top 5 Movies of 1991</strong></p><p>Terminator 2:  Judgement Day</p><p>Robin Hood:  Prince of Thieves</p><p>Home Alone</p><p>Silence of the Lambs</p><p>City Slickers</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.crossthestreamsmedia.com/show/beering-aint-easy-1/p/houston-beer-links-htownbrewery-challenge/"><strong>HTOWN Brewery Challenge Tracker</strong></a><stron
