Welcome, friends, to the Foeder Forest 🌳 Comprised of 55 towering oak barrels (foeders), our Fort Collins wood cellar is the largest in the U.S. and second largest in the world, home to a cast of household sours like Dominga, Le Terroir, Transatlantique Kriek, and, of course, La Folie: the first foeder-aged sour produced in America. Jack Hansen and Chase Howard are part of a team of six brewers that overlook all the happenings in the Forest, though "caretaker" would make for a more accurate title. Despite their immobility, these barrels are living, breathing vessels, each with their own names, quirks, habits (both good and bad), and gustatory personalities. Our stewards are tasked with keeping them happy, because a happy foeder makes happy beer, and happy beer makes a happy customer. "You spend so much time with them that you know where they leak and what their tendencies are," Jack said. "Some of them are really nice in the summer, and then turn around and leak in the winter, and vice versa." As Chase mentions, cellar work is extremely specialized. Foeder specialists aren't an abundant lot, which means every day this crew writes their own rulebook regarding maintenance, procedure, and repair. "These are old vessels, they're very finicky," Chase said. "So while repairing one is scary and intimidating, when you do solve it, you get this crazy confidence boost. It's cool knowing that you used esoteric methods to fix something." Those esoteric methods obviously apply to brewing as well, considering this team seeks out the most exotic and unlikely ingredients with which to brew. Take Buddha's Hand, for example, a South Asian citron described by Chase as an "orange squid hand thing," which they used to brew a Wild Ale named Buddhacello in 2023. (Seriously, look it up.) By sourcing and experimenting with novel adjuncts and techniques, this team consistently pushes the limits of what beer can be, crafting memorable, inimitable sensory experiences in every New Belgium bottle. "Just like these foeders and wild beers, this job embodies the unexpected and unpredictable," Jack said. "No day is the same, and that's a big part of the fun of it."

In the next chapter of our #BrewingFacts series, let's tackle another prevalent myth surrounding beer consumption. Enjoying a beer doesn't mean overindulgence. Beer consumption is about appreciating the craftmanship and quality of the Beer which the Brewer has nursed the Beer through & not quantity. For many, the experience serves as a relaxing environment for bonding and light-hearted conversations. Remember, responsible drinking enhances the experience further, allowing you to savor the flavors and enjoy the craftsmanship behind each brew. Join us as we continue to shed light on common misconceptions about beer. #MythVsFact #GoodTimes This content is intended for individuals above legal drinking age only. Enjoy responsibly!

Barrel Aging: The Secret Ingredient Behind Exceptional Beer 🍻🛢️ Happy Barrel Aged Beer Day! If you’re like us, barrel aging is one of those processes that feels like pure magic. It’s not just about storing beer in barrels; it’s about what happens when the beer and the wood get to know each other over time. Tannins, vanilla, oak, and even hints of what came before—bourbon, wine—you can taste it all in the final pour. The barrels aren't just flavour contributors; they’re part of the journey. The aging allows the beer to mature, mellow, and become something truly special—something that you can't rush or replicate. It’s what gives a barrel-aged beer its depth and makes every glass a unique experience. This Barrel Aged Beer Day, we’re inviting everyone to explore the flavours that only patience, craftsmanship, and great barrels can deliver. We even have two new barrel-aged bundles joining the line-up. Want to chat about the magic of barrel aging? Drop a comment below—let's share the passion. 🍺 Want to explore more?

pouring clear beer in a craft beer market ?
pouring clear beer in a craft beer market ? Chris Navarra and Dan Hart - our longlasting partners in the U.S. Northwest - opened a Geman beer bar in a saturated craft beer market many years ago. They believed that Bitburger Premium Pils was the perfect flagship beer to convert American craft drinkers....and may have been contributed early to a change in consumer behavior. We can't imagine a greater compliment than "being the gold standard of German Pilsener should taste like..." 🙏 🍺 🤲 🌎
