Just got back from the Bell's tap takeover at Sam's...Bell's Black Note is a serious beer to start the day with

8/31/2012 2:49:26 PM

Gotcha, we don't get it in the Raleigh area until sometime in September.

I'm going to be in Asheville this weekend and I've been tasked to find a coffee-ish beer that isn't available here (Raleigh). Any suggestions?

8/31/2012 3:34:00 PM

all you jerkfaces that i keep seeing on the internet finding black note on tap can just go right on and fuck yourselves.

^^ the only coffee beer I know for sure comes out of there - besides Highland Thunderstruck - is Pisgah Valdez (it's awesome), but it is draft or growler only if it's even around

8/31/2012 4:17:13 PM

There's Catawba Valley King Coconut Porter, but I don't know if it's out yet

8/31/2012 6:37:47 PM

that sounds kinda scary, honestly... i love coconut but i hate artificial coconut flavor. I tried one of those coconut water rockstars and couldn't more than two sips. coconut rum is kinda ok though... i wonder what the difference in flavorings is.

8/31/2012 6:44:27 PM

^ it's actually pretty great, they roast their own coconut

that reminds me - CV Hyper Monkey Java Stout, also of uncertain availability, but Bruisin' Ales or Appalachian Vintner usually have growlers of whatever is current

Have enjoyed some good beers this weekend. Cascade Apricot is damn good, much better than the Vine.


BASC is next week, $20 each, limit 4

I plan to get 4, but my budget may not allow more. Should be able to offer one for trade though.

9/3/2012 9:57:19 AM

Growler of this for the Labor Day cookout.

9/3/2012 6:54:53 PM

i had one of these at Ruckus3 today and it wasn't half bad

9/3/2012 6:56:37 PM

Drinking my first bottle of Great Lakes Nosferatu right now...instantly one of my favorite Imperial Reds.

9/3/2012 9:24:13 PM

^^That and Stone Mint Chocolate Imperial Stout are my two most anticipated beers of the fall.

9/5/2012 3:42:10 PM

anyone opening anything fun for the opening of the nfl tonight?

9/5/2012 4:35:59 PM

whatever they have on tap at the Foo Fighters show.

9/5/2012 4:36:52 PM

I am looking forward to this...

9/5/2012 11:29:32 PM

Pumpkin beer season is upon us. Who has a good one?

9/5/2012 11:38:34 PM

sorry for the sideways photo.

but, i would be ok with this in my mouth forever and ever.

9/6/2012 9:41:15 AM

^^^i read/saw that as liquid shits

i think that's more fitting

9/6/2012 9:44:22 AM

I saw "liquid piss."

I love peanut butter...I love beer...I don't think that's a good combination. But I'll probably give it a shot.

9/6/2012 9:51:06 AM

yeah that looks terrible.

9/6/2012 9:52:05 AM

Chocolate Peanut Butter Porters are awesome, we've had two breweries experiment with it here in Denver (Renegade and Copper Kettle) and both turned out great. Renegade used like 1000 Reece's Peanut Butter Cups in their beer. I can't speak to Terrapin's liquid pissshit, but name aside I'd at least try it.

9/6/2012 2:50:50 PM

9/6/2012 3:08:59 PM

i'll take restricted's bottle, thnx

9/6/2012 3:14:44 PM

so i took inventory of my "cellar" over the weekend. i currently have 47 bottles. probably 10-12 of those are short order, to be consumed in the coming days/weeks.

9/7/2012 10:12:17 AM

nice, you're getting to the numbers where you'll start needing a spreadsheet

i think i'm up to 150 or so, going to have a sour tasting tomorrow for sour day, should consume 10-12 this weekend as well probably.

9/7/2012 1:18:20 PM

If anyone is going tomorrow to the BASC release and wants to sell a bottle or two, please do let me know! Or I may have a few goodies I could trade for some (2012 Parabola, Fresh (bottled in Aug) Pliny the Elder, 2012 KBS, Alesmith Speedway Stout)

I cannot make it as the wifey is pregnant and due any day now. Have to stay around Raleigh

9/7/2012 1:39:18 PM

Jeep didnt you say Wild Blue was your craft beer of choice?

9/7/2012 1:43:16 PM

i prefer sunset wheat

"going to have a sour tasting tomorrow for sour day,"

every time i drink more than ~24oz of a sour in a day, i end up with a fucked up stomach for a few days. the worst being the day after a sour tasting, had the worst gut cramps i've ever felt, knotted and gurgling stomach and lots of vomiting, with no other appreciable signs of a hangover. so now i limit myself to only one, maybe two sours in a day, and haven't had any problems.

does this happen to anyone else?

[Edited on September 7, 2012 at 2:27 PM. Reason : it makes me sad]

[Edited on September 7, 2012 at 2:28 PM. Reason : fucks with the ph or something, idk]

9/7/2012 2:27:41 PM

no vomiting, but i've noticed a "sour stomach" the morning after drinking one. especially if we drink it late/last.

9/7/2012 2:43:13 PM

nope, had 20+ sours in a day with no consequences, i have heard of it happening to some though, mostly acid-reflux

#2 in line behind me, already requested Jeepin4x4 for 1 Although he may prefer an IP trade vs. shipping.

9/7/2012 3:52:25 PM

Just got back from Foothills, BASC is pretty damn good but I'm not camping out for it.

9/7/2012 10:05:46 PM

Props to Jeepin4x4 for scoring be a bottle - its was finally nice to meet you in person.

9/8/2012 11:04:07 PM

drinking this tonight, not bad, almost tastes Belgian.

9/9/2012 12:01:47 AM

^^lol, asshole. i should have kept on driving.


it was a very well run release yesterday. I think Foothills made the right move by holding the official release until the very last minute. It kept the crowd at an amount the pub and staff could handle and everyone was able to get their share of bottles.

We got in line around 5:30am, we were #148 and 149. When the pub opened at 8am there were probably 200-225 at the most. The WSPD allowed drinking in line from 2am-5:30am and from everything i heard they were really cool about it. But it was smart to stop the drinking at sunrise. the crowd wasn't rowdy, everyone (for the most part) was sobered up and respectful with only a few obnoxious people, none i came in contact with.

got to try some nice beers. In very small amounts, but they still left an impression. Hill Farmstead Society 4 and Heady Topper just to name a few. The HT, in a 4oz pour was all it has been cracked up to be. I was instantly hooked.

9/9/2012 11:38:27 AM

Lonerider is in the process of building a new tasting room. I went over there yesterday to drop off a keg and there are no longer stairs to get to their office Good for them doing well enough to expand.

9/11/2012 10:16:50 AM

Lonerider was the "official beer" of the CNN Grill at the DNC.

9/11/2012 10:52:32 AM

Tried this stuff this past weekend. It was fantastic.

9/11/2012 11:28:48 AM

Is New Belgium Red Hoptober a new seasonal? I don't recall seeing it before. Going to try it out tonight.
