  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Adam, thanks for the compliment but I'm far from being an expert when it comes to good "Craft Beer."

I've only tried eight (8) of the beers on "that" list.

You should know that within an 1 1/2 hour drive from my home I have 55 microbreweries available to me here in North Carolina. So you could say I'm pretty happy with the options available to me. Regrettably, no NC Beers are on that list but I'm definately not missing out on some damn fine Craft Beers!

I agree with Jere, there are alot of great craft beers that are not on that list!

In the last two years cigars are no longer the only "slippery slope" I have gone down. Yes, Craft Beer has become a passion for me too!
I agree it would have been nice to see some NC brews I personally dig on some Duck Rabbit and Highland Brewing Co.

There are alot more than those two my brother. Here in Raleigh alone I have Natty Greene, Big Boss, Roth and Lonerider. A little further out I got Aviator, Fullsteam, Triangle, Bull City, Mother Earth and Huske. If you ever venture this way let me know and we will drink alot of beer and smoke a considerable amount of cigars!

I lived at natty's for six months haha I lived right up the road and was buckshot fueled non stop! Haven't been in awhile though. When spring comes around we should meet up share some brews and smokes at Nattys.

Some others that we've had on tap but aren't on the list that are absolutely noteworthy:

Harviestoun Ola Dubh Special Reserve 30

Schneider Aventinus

Schneider Aventinus Eisbock Freeze Aventinus, scrape off the ice from the top, re-bottle the concentrate...OMG!

Allaghash Curieux
Yes!

I've had 27 on this list, and feel that it is surely missing these... also:

Ballast Points Victory at Sea
Alpine Exponential Hoppiness.
Allaghash Black
Gouden Carolus Cuvée Van De Keizer Blauw
