From 6/16/17:

From last PM as an early birthday celebration:

Trophy Wife (draft)-Trophy Brewing Company

Drink local!

This was just listed "IPA" on the beverage menu but I didn't think Trophy had any "plain" monikers so the bartender told me the real story/name as I left the restaurant last PM. It's actually a session IPA. Pint pour was a light, orange-amber with a smallish, foamy head. Light citrus aromas, mostly grapefruit with mildly floral bitterness/hoppiness, followed by Tropicana Light grapefruit-orange juice flavors, no pulp . I'll guess 40 IBUs and the ABV was 4.9% making it a nice pairing with some delicious shrimp and grits.

From last PM:

Trophy Wife (12 ounce can-didn't check date on bottom of can)-Trophy Brewing Company

Reviewed again because one trophy wife is not enough .

Yea, I cheated (not that way) as I was on call but didn't think I'd tasted one of these before so had about four ounces with dinner from younger son-in-law's can.

Pretty similar thoughts to the draft review above with perhaps a bit of pineapple on the nose and palate. Very pleasant session IPA.

... Trophy Wife ... didn't check date on bottom of can ...

I'll just leave this here.

First Cold Mountain of the season tonight. Not bad, but yet again, nowhere near as good as Ninjabread Man.

I know the recipe changes yearly, but I have a 12 pack in my basement, and your reaction is the one I anticipate.

Can we discuss how overpriced it is? Sheesh.

Mildly off topic in the interest of public safety.

Asheville friends, the Washington Post is reporting a serious outbreak of chicken pox. Hope you’ve had it, or have taken preventative steps (trying to avoid any charged topics in our virtual pub).

Even further off topic...

My wife contracted chicken pox as an adult. At our wedding. She was out of commission for about 3 weeks. We were pretty quickly tested with the "in sickness and in health" portion of the vows.

It's no joke as an adult and can cause serious health problems.

Damned anti-vaxers.

Had it when I was a kid thanks to my parents forcing my brother and I to play with our cousins when they had it.

Very interesting take on a style that often ages pretty well. Reminds me of that experience we had with August West in 2016 tasting 5 years of Mother Earth's Silent Night and some different versions from that year's release.

Speaking of Asheville Brewing, they just announced a collaboration with Sierra Nevada called Christmas Jam Ale. Will certainly be on the lookout for that one.

Haven’t seen Cold Mountain in the Triangle yet.
Wonder if it hasn’t arrived yet, or if it is already gone.

A patient of mine that works at one of the Total Wine stores said there was quite a crowd there last week when they put theirs out for sale.

Anyone taste one of these yet?

Park Day (canned on 7/31/18)-Mother Earth Brewing

Drink almost local!

First brew from my October 4 pack that I didn't pick up until last week .

A Bohemian-style pilsner from down east NC.

Pouring vigorously from the 12 ounce revealed a slightly cloudy, straw-colored brew with a moderate, frothy head. The 100% German hops (guessing Tettnang and Mittlefruh) and malts (Carapils? Pale?) produce attractive floral scents and flowery, garden-like and mildly honey-ish tastes. I'll guess IBUs in the 20-30 range with the ABV at 4.9% so this would be a nice porch pounder in warmer weather to accompany turkey/chicken and Havarti/Muenster sandwiches and a pasta salad.

I generally think it is overpriced hype, but I appreciate the opportunity to prove myself right (or wrong).

Keep looking around, it tends to pop up in strange places. A few years ago I found in on Ocracoke Island two months after it was off the shelves in Asheville.

I'm curious to see if they still do this:

Probably my "no thank you" quote:

“White Meat Pale Ale” and “Dark Meat Lager” — which as the names suggest are infused with white and dark turkey meat — will be rolled out by Demonic Nun Brew Company of Lark Street.

I'll touch them all before I get back to the dugout.
