Beer of the Day - BOTD - 2020

[FL shaver]

I think I'll make a stop at the craft beer retailer to see what I can find for holiday beers like I did for Oktoberfest brews. I forgot to check for Xocoveza at Total Wine this weekend.

Almost perfect incorporation of honey in the brew, providing a subtle sweetness that lingers in the back of the throat. Central Waters kills on delivery of barrel aged stuff; this is one of their more sessionable offerings.

Acquired for December. I have a spot in mind for a Xocoveza on draft next week... Looking forward to the Belgians.

Pivot IPA and Comfort in Shadows Stout at Pinehurst Brewing Company. Both very good with the Stout possibly the best non-barrel aged Stout I’ve tried. The BBQ is delicious, too!

Father-in-Laws homebrew Porter over the weekend. Pretty good. May be bringing a mini-keg home so I can sample it easier. And provide an image eventually....

To be honest, Evan, lack of images are the only fault I can find in your posts....

pony-sized cold stella was perfect thirst quencher this warm, sunny 79deg afternoon!

Got the embarrassment of my golf game out of the way earlier. On to the local craft brew scene now...

I had this on tap a couple years ago. I remember it well, because I immediately began searching for “Sorachi Ace hops.” I expected Saison and got a huge dose of lemongrass. It was my intro to that hop and I avoid it, and most Prarire stuff, but ymmv. Did it taste like lemongrass to you at all?

One of the benefits of the pandemic is working from home. And when that home includes your Father-in-Law who also brews his own beer, occasionally you get a sample. The smoked coffee porter got a boost of bourbon as well. Cheers.

It's those photographs that really make your posts come alive, Evan.

This is a random one I picked up and it’s REALLY interesting. Color is more vibrant then comes through in the photo, and the cherry flavor mixed with the milk sugar is pretty wild. Not something I’d have more than one of in a sitting, but a pretty fun beer to drink.

This is my contribution, Dageraad Unfiltered Belgian-style Pale Ale.
What a joy!

Made 2 stops in Southern Pines, NC, this afternoon. Southern Pines Growler Company and Hatchet Brewing Co. Grabbed a pour of Founder’s KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (great!), and some takeout. They also have home brewing supplies. Second stop I picked up a Straight Up Stout on Nitro tap - no complaints, not spectacular.

You found Xocoveza!

I just restocked on the Founder's Maple Macinac Fudge; probably the most expensive 12 pack I've ever paid for!

 

[FL shaver]

I did find it!
$7.09/bottle of Maple Mackinac Fudge here! Glad I found it on tap. I think it was a little more expensive for a 10 oz pour.
Backwoods Bastard is one of my favorites!

Had 3 bottles left of the Mackinac Fudge. Stopped by a little, tucked-in-the-corner liquor store near my house on a whim, hoping they'd have it, and they did. Picked up three 4 packs. $5.50/bottle.

Wanted to share this gold from Founder's with some co-workers, but I was jealously hoarding those last three...

Clearly i need to try more Founders beers. I’ve had a couple and I wasn’t impressed. But they seem to get a whole lotta love here. And elsewhere.

Not the greatest chocolate stout I’ve had, but not the worse. Really no chocolate flavor I can taste TBH.
