While rumors of Fat Tire makers New Belgium Brewing setting up East Coast operations in or near “Brussels on the Schuylkill” have been floating around for some time, it seems like they may be gaining some traction. The Fort Collins, Colorado-based brewer, whose brews are seldom seen in these parts, is reportedly weighing the options for setting up shop here or Asheville, N.C. The Business Journal’s Peter Van Allen reports that although New Belgium’s spokesperson, Bryan Simpson, has only great things to say about Philly and its beer drinking culture, the brewery won’t makes a final decision until June. Here’s hoping we’ll all be hoisting Fat Tires in their honor come Beer Week. [PBJ]
