This Wed from 4:30 - 6:30 if anyone is interested...I will be there for a bit then heading over to Bricks.

Ft. Collins, CO (March 7, 2012) New Belgium Brewing (www.newbelgium.com) is pleased to announce that its newest year-round offering, Shift Pale Lager, will roll into markets on April 2. Capitalizing on New Belgium’s recently expanded can line, Shift will be available in 16-ounce cans only. In addition, the four-pack cartons are 100 percent recycled content. The beer’s name evokes New Belgium’s tradition of sharing a shift beer at the end of the day to celebrate a job well done.

Shift Pale Lager features the newly developed Nelson Sauvin hop, which brings forth elements of citrus and soft fruit alongside specialty malts and lager yeast. Easy to drink, crisp and congratulatory, Shift is ready for a responsible session in the backyard and beyond. Alcohol by volume is 5 percent.

I had some at the Zins tasting. It is going to be a great summer beer, especially in those cans.

Awesome - after biking 40-80 miles in 90 degree heat a Fat Tire wasn't really that appetizing. Hopefully we will get more of these for RAGBRAI.

According to Cheese, they are planning a boot at every overnight, and maybe some stops. I am planning one day of ragbrai this year, marshaltown to CR. I will be partying in marshaltown the night before, and in CR.

Just drank a Shift tonight. It is good and I would pick up some cans to quench the hot summer.
