Ymm, Beer

So — I’ve known you for over 8 years? Time flies . . . .

And you *still* admit that publicly.

Yep, some dbr connections are worth maintaining.

[devildeac]

That helps me figure out what to bring next time I head to the Old North State!

As with most mulers and traders, I'll trust their judgment/palate along with whatever their local/favorite craft beer store guy/gal recommends. That is, if they actually show up with the beer they promised to trade.

Hopefully, your friend is a more reliable source than some random twitter account. I'll trust you on this one . Tropicalia sounds familiar, likely from an article or two I've read in the past.

Yeah, he knows that of which he speaks. He is a host with the most. At least once a month for group drinking, and daily on a website.

The Tropicália hits me about just right for an IPA with my kind of hops. Certainly by available go-to for most places here in town I frequent at beer time.

But I never pass up a Wild Leap or an Orpheus when one is on the beer menu.

I'm guessing he's been a frequent host and/or guest during Covid SDDB gatherings.

I’m proud of many cases at work. I’m proud of my kids. But I am proudest of all for launching the SDDB acronym. I can retire with my head held high.

What are the top five NC brewers I should hunt?

From Untappd:

"The spirit tradition runs deep in Nelson County, but most of the distilling took place in the woods far off the Stage Road, not on it. We collaborated on this Wee Heavy Ale with the Virginia Distillery Company, keeping the ritual alive and well in Lovingston, VA. Aged in VDC ex-bourbon barrels, this full bodied, malt forward ale combines the old and new with notes of plum, raisin and stone fruit with a sweet dry finish."

Something thread appropriate:
