New Belgium’s 2017 Tour de Fat Took Over San Diego’s Waterfront Park!
This past weekend we attended New Belgium‘s San Diego stop of their infamous Tour de Fat. The event is going to benefit San Diego County Bicycle Coalition and San Diego Mountain Bike Association. As there was no official bike ride this year, many of the event goers went on an unofficial ride from Panama 66 located in Balboa Park to Waterfront Park. Once they were at the waterfront, all the bikes were parked at the entrance of the event.
Tim DeLaGhetto hosted the evening. Additionally, there was entertainment from Fire Leopard, The Verigolds, and the one-of-a-kind Sputnik Stage. There was also a dance contest, fashion show, and slow ride competition for guests to enjoy. As the night went on, more and more people started trickling in. By the time The Naked and Famous came on for their set, the venue was packed. It was a great night filled with amazing beer and music. More photos from the event are available HERE.
The Beer
Fat Tire
This New Belgium staple is not only the beer that inspired the Tour de Fat, but is one of their most well-known beers. It’s an easy to sip Belgian-style ale that everyone seemed to enjoy. As an added surprise, New Belgium also brought a beer that is yet to be released. It’s a variation of Fat Tire that is absolutely delicious! Their White Fat Tire is a white Belgian-style Ale that was a favorite of the beers they offered.
Pilsner
Formerly known as Blue Paddle, this pilsner is the perfect summer sipper in the heat. Many of the attendees enjoyed this delicious beer before the sun went down.
Citradelic
Citradelic is another favorite here in San Diego. It also may have been the hoppiest of them all. Although it may be a bit on the hoppier side for us, it was a crowd favorite. Not only deliciously hoppy, this beer is backed with juicy citrusy notes.
The Food

There were a few food trucks at the venue including Mastiff Sausage Company & Mangia Mangia Mobile. The food options were very popular and needed! Everyone had the opportunity to enjoy some bites to eat as they sat on the lawn listening to the entertainment on both the main and traveling stages. We personally loved the garlic fries, spaghetti, and lobster ravioli. They all hit the spot and paired well with the delicious beers we had.
Overall
Last year’s event featured more theatrics, more beers, and inspired more costumes. This year’s event seemed to focus more on the music aspect of the event, but we definitely walked away feeling like we missed some of the features they had last year.
