Exactly. I lived in Ft. Collins when the production was smaller, and I've lived within an hour of the brewery ever since. The change was very obvious to me and many of my friends who still live in Ft. Collins, it really seems the recipe changed at that time.To be honest, I noticed the change in 2008, when they upped capacity in order to distribute to a few more Eastern US states.
So, no, I didn't order a Fat Tire yesterday and decide it was different than one I had 11 years ago.
