Gone are the days of filling up the trunk with Fat Tire and driving it back to Nashville from St. Louis – New Belgium Beers are sold in Tennessee, starting today! Three of New Belgium Brewing’s most popular microbrews have arrived – Fat Tire Amber Ale, 1554 Black Ale and Mothership Wit Organic Wheat Beer. They will only be available in the 22oz bomber for at least 90-120 days, but we don’t mind.

We just wanted to know what the hold up was, so we poked around a bit and found out that New Belgium  built a new packaging facility last year, which finally allowed them the bottling power to cross the border into Tennessee this month.

Call up your favorite bar or pub to see if they’re serving New Belgium beers, and tip us off in the comments if you spot the beers at any stores.

[Thanks to Josh C. for the tip!]
