yeah, one of the most over-rated beer co's in the country is expanding!! yippee!!

[Genesee Ted]

Over rated? Anyway this sounds awesome for Ashville, as well as NC and the East Coast as a whole

the jobs are great, the beer is over-rated.

right on...the speculation about both companies ended up being correct. 2 big wins for nc recently.

They have some really good stuff. Not so much their flagship, but other solid offerings. It definitely ain't no BMC stuff.

i find new belgium to be inconsistent. but, when it's good, it's good.

exactly, cuz SA isn't exactly the pinnacle of craft brewing either.

I'm happy with anything that pumps money into the local economy.I'm not a New Belgium fanboi by any means, but their stuff is better than budweiser.

I would love to be able to get NB La Folie at will... *drool*

I am saying given the choice of those two I will consistently go with NB products of BB products, the BB products almost unfailingly are oxidized and stale by the time I get them here

It's not bad but nearly anything by Jolly Pumpkin, Crooked Stave, Russian River or Port Brewing is better.

Sierra Nevada and now New Belgium!! Welcome to NC!! Looks like I will need to take a few trips out to Asheville,, oh darn. NC craft beer continues to grow...Yea!! I would love a Ruthless Rye from SN and some Ranger from NB hopefully brewed here on the east coast.

[MtnBrewer]

I'll say this for NB. For you guys in NC, this will be a great brewery tour.

Talk about inconsistent. JP makes some of the best and most original American beers I have ever had, but their QC is lacking at best. I understand the whole wild element, but I ain't lyin!
