I’m a big fan of Allagash Brewing, and so far, they have, in my eyes, done no wrong. When I went to Arizona for my brother’s wedding last May, I had the honor of sampling some of New Belgium‘s Fat Tire. When I saw that Allagash—brewers of the inimitable Black and Curieux Belgian style beers—and New Belgium—purveyors of hoppy, malty goodness like Ranger IPA and La Folie—were going to collaborate on the beer of best friends, Vrienden, well…my knees buckled, my pulse quickened, and my eyes teared up. Read up on the collab on Beer Advocate and get ready for some sour goodness.
