but THey Will look in your cooler
Now you can have beer or whatever in your campsite

I love KOTO, but damn, I’m really getting tired of New Belgium beers. Don’t get me wrong, New Belgium is a WONDERFUL company what with the alternative energy initiatives and I’ve heard they treat their employees very well. But, I just don’t dig the creamy belgians that the KOTO tent always has on tap.
Why can’t I get a nice, cold IPA, ESB, or something else biting and hoppy at the fest? Bring in some of the regional breweries…How about Ska or Steamworks from down in Durango? Or even Smugglers from T-Ride.
Anyway, I’ll continue to get my fill of bitter beers at my campsite (all the while saving money!), but I would love to have the ability to buy something besides NB at the festival grounds…
I’ve heard rumor that Sierra Nevada might be involved at this years fest. I’m not sure how true it is, but thats what i was told by someone who works there. Might be BS for all i know…
edit…
I just saw new belgium is listed on the main site as a partner, so i believe the gentleman i talked to is full of it.
Not sure on it’s status, but I know that New Belgium has a pale ale that they are working on. I’ve tried it, and it would make a wonderful summer hop beer. (I too am a hop-head).
I can’t attest to if it will make an appearance at TBF…and in fact I’d probably say it won’t this year…but know that there is a Pale on the way from the NBB folks.
…and cletusaz, your Sierra friend must have been thinking about some other wonderfully magical escape from reality during the solstice.
Do NBB do anything thats more of a “session” beer ? I found the Fat Tire good but not something I’d want to pour down my head all day. We have a beer round here called Theakstons which is around 3.8% abv whcih is ideal for thirst quenching and spilling down your shirt.
At SXSW I found Dos Equis ideal for a thirst slaker, is there anything similar available here ?
Living close to the home of beer - Masham - I do liek a drop. :cheers
:wave 3 bucks ??? What time warp are you caught in brother :flower
Beer is 5 buck a pint and 4 if you refill from the same cup, cups from previous years do not accrue additional discounts. I usually buy a cup or two, then refill them at the discount and donate the extra dollar to KOTO.
