New Belgium Fat Tire and Vans Unveil Upcoming Collaboration

New Belgium Fat Tire and Vans Unveil Upcoming Collaboration

I brought you a peek at this beer back in May 2024, and now this update from New Belgium:

Two iconic brands come together to celebrate existence outside the norm with summer capsule  zzubreebym

FORT COLLINS, CO  ., July 24, 2024 - Fat Tire, a crisp, easy-drinking beer, sustainably brewed with premium ingredients, and Vans announced today a collaboration that takes the iconic Vans Checkerboard pattern "Off The Wall" and onto the can of Fat Tire for limited edition packaging as well as an exclusive summer merchandise.

This hyper-limited capsule collection, that includes Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard Shoes featuring custom Fat Tire design along with a coordinating hat, socks, and cooler, is now available for preorder at DrinkFatTire.com. Due to the limited nature of the collaboration, items will only be available for a short time while supplies last. Styled for summer, craft drinkers can reach for an easy-drinking Fat Tire sporting Vans-inspired packaging and cans.

"Like Fat Tire, Vans speaks to those who appreciate authentic, quality products and identify with our respective roots as originators," said Fat Tire Brand Manager Taylor Boyd. "This collaboration celebrates those qualities, and we're excited for beer lovers to see a fellow icon in the beer aisle this summer."

For this collaboration with Vans, Fat Tire is donating proceeds from beer sold to benefit Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, a grassroots non-profit dedicated to inspiring communities to care for our oceans and beaches.

Off the Wall onto the Can Events

To celebrate the collaboration, Fat Tire and Vans will host launch events throughout the summer including:

  • In Denver, CO on Friday, July 26 at Bannock Street Garage from 6 – 9 p.m., featuring music by legendary skateboarder and musician, Ray Barbee, and attendance from Vans athletes. Open to the public, the event will feature live music, custom merch, a DIY art station, and a free beer for those who show up in Vans. 
  • In New York, NY on Monday, Aug. 19 at Nai with a dinner at 6 p.m. and performance by musician Annie Dirusso at 9 p.m. This is a ticketed event, with tickets available here.

About New Belgium
New Belgium Brewing was founded in 1991 in Fort Collins, Colo., by Kim Jordan, a social worker, who built her company the only way a social worker would: People first. Over the past three decades, New Belgium has turned that ethos into a unique Human-Powered Business model through practices that were and still are rare in the business world: fully paid healthcare premiums for coworkers who need the support, living wage compensation, open-book management, renewable energy sourcing, a free onsite medical clinic and physician, a deep commitment to philanthropy and advocacy, and much more.

New Belgium expanded to Asheville, N.C., in 2016 and Daleville, Va., in 2023, and in 2021 acquired Bell's Brewery, based in Kalamazoo, Mich. The business' people-centric model has led New Belgium to become the most popular and fastest-growing American craft brewer today. New Belgium is famous for Fat Tire Ale and Voodoo Ranger IPA (America's #1 IPA brand), along with year-round favorites like Dominga Mimosa Sour, La Folie Sour Brown Ale, an award-winning wood-aged sour program, and the addition of Bell's iconic brands including Two Hearted IPA and Oberon Ale.
