Fat Tire Beer, it's a brand out of Colorado. I read about it in the book 'Skin Deep' by Pamela Clare, specifically in the novella after 'Skin Deep' called 'Marc and Julian Make a Beer Run' (which you can buy in e-book form here)
First, I started off my day without being able to log on to my computer. There goes seven minutes of my day re-booting the darn machine. Then three voicemail messages I need to answer and accounts to update. Then the calls started.
I had three grumpy people gnaw on me because they didn't like what I was telling them. Basically, I sat and listened but being told that I'm basically a greedy idiot in so many words or less is not a way to endear yourself to me. Now of course they didn't know me from a whole in the wall and somebody must have peed in their cornflakes this morning but why call and take it out on some poor customer service rep? It's the nature of the business though so you just learn to take these days as they roll oi. In addition, I forgot to take an allergy pill before I work so I was miserable with a hugely-stuffy head, sore throat, dry cough, and sniffles and sneezes. Needless to say I came out of work with the intention of getting a beer.
Because today was an I-need-a-beer-but-can't-afford-a-six-pack day. I was in the HEB store on DeZavala here in San Antonio because my regular HEB is being remodeled and you can't find anything in it (they have nice employees wearing t-shirts with 'Help You?' on them). In this store and at the other one I went to Saturday they have beer by the bottle for sale. I bought this Fat Tire because I'd read about it in a book and thought 'what the heck'.
Well, what the heck have I been missing? This is a full-bodied yeasty-smooth ale (it's labeled Amber Ale on the bottle). I like really rich beers so this is perfect for me. And it's a nice end to what was an overall crappy day at work.
