Once upon a time, the brewery located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and known for its playful and delicious sour ales invited dreamers and nightlife lovers to a magical gathering like no other.
It was no ordinary festival, it was “Lost in the Woods,” heralding the arrival of 2024. New Belgium Brewing opened the legendary Fader Forest for the Storybook Slumber Party, which promises to be a night of dancing, joy, and the best sours in the land.
Leaving for Dreamland
As the moon rose on February 10, partygoers emerged in colorful pajamas and stepped into a realm where bedtime stories come to life. While most people opted for cozy pajamas to mimic the slumber party aspect of the theme, the crowd included a very tall owl who didn’t leave the dance floor all night. , sprinkled with some wild things and fairy tale creatures.
In the forest enclave, wooden giants filled with aged ale watched silently, but that night was anything but quiet. Bass sounds and a Taylor Swift remix got partygoers hooked to the rhythm, lit by a huge full moon that hung low and heavy over the dance floor.
And what’s a slumber party without a feast? Amidst the festivities, guests were treated to dishes that reminded them of their most cherished sleepovers. Snacks like grilled cheese and tomato soup, buttered popcorn, and Twizzlers enlivened the dance party and evoked childhood memories.
mysterious sour river
The open bar, where sour beer flows like a magical river, takes you on a journey through bold and sublime flavours. The star of the night was Wild One, a beer with juicy cherry and pineapple tartness. It brings back memories of fruit punch and staying up late at a friend’s house. Guests then departed with a bottle of this year’s La Folie, a treasured souvenir of the night’s magic.
The Storybook Slumber Party was more than just a celebration. It was a testament to the brewery’s spirit of fusion of creativity, community, and craft. One enchanted night, the Feeder Forest was not only a place where beer matured gracefully, but also a place where dreams took flight, friendships blossomed, and the world far away. And as the guests left, the forest whispered promises of adventure for the coming year, leaving everyone wondering what wonders lay beyond the turn of the next page.
