When are Fat Tire cans going to be available for purchase?

Question

I know New Belgium turned on the canning equipment a few weeks ago, does anybody know when they'll actually be available to buy?

Answer 1

Your kidding right? I hadn't heard they had started canning... how funny. Makes sense... As long as you are pouring your beers like your supposed to a can is a better container. It keeps out 100% of the UV rays that cause skunking.

I would imagine that if they are putting it out in all markets and not doing testing in select one first that you should see them in about a month from the initial run. They have to biuld up stock, ship to distributors, the distributors have to talk the store into carrying it and finally stores have to make shelf space for it.

EDIT:

According to here:

They hit Colorado shelves in late June (20th) and they are hoping to have it in other states shortly.
