Tonight's beer is another offering from the blossoming New Belgium brewery called Mothership Wit. If the New Belgium name sounds somewhat familiar to you, it's probably because these are the same guys that brew the increasingly popular Fat Tire Ale that has taken the west coast by storm in recent years. Jeff Lebesch, the founder of the New Belgium Brewing Company found his muse while riding an old bike through the villages of Belgium in 1989. Jeff soon brought his inspiration stateside, founding the first brewery in America to produce Belgian style ales exclusively. It's no surprise why Fat Tire has gained such an avid following here in the states, but for me it's a bit of a mystery why Mothership Wit hasn't shared the same kind of overwhelimg success. Granted, The New Belgium Brewing Co. is only 20 years old, but it's still surprising that this exceptional beer hasn't blown up like it's sister beer Fat Tire.
If you're a socially conscious consumer of fine beverages, then Mothership Wit is the beer that you've been looking for. There's a lot of organic beers out there on the market today, but Mothership Wit takes the whole going green think to a entirely new level. Not only is Mothership Wit USDA certified organic, it takes great. I've tried my fair share of organic beers, and for the most part have always been left wanting. Mothership Wit has a very palatable and spicy flavor, with strong notes of coriander and citrus throughout. I absolutely fell in love with this beer, and I'm confident that most of my readers will too. Get your hands on this beer asap.
Cheers!

P.S. The name comes from the nickname that the employees at the New Belgium Brewing Co. have given to their central brewing operation in Fort Collins, Colorado; a place that they call, "The Mothership".
