Hey guys, only 140 to go to get to 10,000. Keep drinking and posting. I'm obviously (maybe not due to the ability to edit out so many of my typing errors) doing my part.

I think we had a beer cocktail several years ago at a tailgate mixing Pumpking with a porter or an imperial stout and were pleased with our beertendering. IIRC, I think the best ratio we decided on was about 3 parts stout/porter and 1 part Pumpking. Reminds me of Warlock.

Drove by their brewery on the way to Emerald Isle today. Any thoughts on their offerings? Worth a stop on the way home Sunday?
Thx. Have 2 12-pack samplers for the week and will post on their merits as I sip and try to catch some large swimming things
Uh oh...
I hope Ricks68 has uber
Going to Carowinds tomorrow, hopefully they have some decent beer below $12/pint.
"Amazing what a minute can do."
K, thx, may stop by on way home or just look for some while.
I'd wager you'd like their Weeping Willow Wit, Endless River, Park Day and perhaps Dark Cloud. Their Tripel Overhead, a BBA Belgian-style tripel/golden ale was brewed in April and they might have some 4 packs at the brewery store. A bit spendy but an outstanding concoction.

Done. Final impressions:
Flanders Red-Destihl Brewing
From their Wild Sour series, which amazingly contains 11 beers according to their website. This one poured a brilliant ruby-amber color with a small, fizzy head. Aromas were "corked" or "turned" wines and sour cherries. Tastes were lactic acid, vinegar, Sour Patch cherry kids and Warheads. I haven't had a Rodenbach for probably a decade or more but this really reminded me of that ale. Amazingly, I didn't wonder "why" as fuse mentioned, probably because he had prepared me what to expect with his review, plus, the distant memory of the intense sourness of a Belgian Flanders red ale. IBUs are 15 and the ABV is 6.1%. This is worth a single purchase for anyone wishing to try the style (I think I spent about $10 for the 4 pack) but I doubt it'll be added to your favorite list. I'll return to Total Wine later this week and buy a single Rodenbach and probably do a side-by-side, either by myself or with our son who we'll be visiting next weekend. I think it's that authentic/close to the traditional Belgian offering.
This is why this thread is soooo good. I'd have likely never tried this without fuse's recent review.
