Beer Review 118: New Belgium 1554

July 10, 2012

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

Ah New Belgium, probably the biggest brewery that isn’t in New York City.  Well the Beer Friends turned out to be pretty resourceful and have been able to review a few beers (Fat Tire – Belgo – Dig) and today we check out 1554, an enlightened black ale.  1554 is a Belgian black ale that was a test and see project (darn, have to do a bunch of in-house tasting!) that started in 1997 and was good enough that it’s a year round today.  This rounds out the Amber (Fat Tire), Belgian IPA (Belgo), Spring (Dig) and Black Ale of styles we tried from New Belgium – so far… Belgium! Black Ales! Roasted Malts!
