New Belgium Brewing released a new flavor of Fat Tire and taste testers say it’s not very good. The new beer’s called Fat Tire Torched Earth Ale and the brewery says they purposely created the nasty beer to prove a point.
They wanted to make a statement about farming in a changing climate. The company said on their website, “this beer uses the kind of ingredients that would be available in a climate-ravaged future…and they’re less than ideal.” The beer is made with low-quality ingredients like hop extracts, dandelions, and smoke tainted water.
If we don’t want to be forced to drink beer like this in the future, we should probably start helping the environment. Also, if you’re brave enough to try the Torched Earth Ale, let us know! All profits from the beer will go to the climate organization, Protect Our Winters.
