NC In Beer Advocate

Browsing through the latest issue of Beer Advocate, I was pleased to find quite a few mentions of our home state. Foothills Sexual Chocolate was featured on a few of the "Top Beer" lists. The beer review section was where the most action was - with the following reviews:

Olde Hickory Brewing - Hickory Stick Stout and Table Rock Pale Ale
Mother Earth Brewing - Dark Cloud Dunkel and Endless River Kolsch
Olde Mecklenburg Brewing - OMB Copper

None of the beers received a score less than a B!

Then to top it all of, the beer destination was Asheville, NC. With places like Boston, Philadelphia and California getting a lot of beer press, it is both refreshing and encouraging to see our local scene get some coverage.

Olde Rabbit's Foot Release Party

After hearing about this collaboration brew earlier this year, I was patiently awaiting the release. Lucky for me that time has finally come. The beer is Bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout. The brewers also decided to add honey and cocoa nibs to this one of a kind beer. Olde Hickory Brewery, Duck Rabbit, and Foothills used their combined expertise to craft Olde Rabbit's Foot.

The party will start at 11am on December 12th at Foothills Brewing in Winston Salem. They are located on 4th St. Olde Rabbit's Foot will be released in 22oz bottles, pricing is to be determined.
