Maybe not the best beer ad in history, a funny one nonetheless.
Interesting backstory.
Painting...with beer?

Big weekend at the Indiana Winterfest. Will do my best to have a report in the coming days.

Wine Barrel Aged Joco White Tater (draft)-Deep River Brewing Company
Drink local! From Johnston County's first legal brewery .
Spent all my beer money tonight on a pint when I asked for a half pint .
Pour was a cloudy, dark brown with a small head. Very vinous aromas followed by tastes of dark fruits (it's a Belgian-style dubbel made with Johnston County white sweet 'taters) soaked in red wine. Mildly (brown sugary) sweet with earthy/herbal bitterness but not too much, guessing 30 IBUs, maybe less. The non-barrel aged product is 7.8% ABV and this was listed on the electronic beer board as the same but the cans claim 9.1% and that's likely the truth. At $7/pint, it was good and I'm happy to have tasted but I'd buy the pint can for $3.59 next time .

Winter Porter (Brewed on 01/23/19)-C*rolina Brewing Company ("brewing tasty liquids since 1995")
Drink local!
First beverage from my February beer club 4 pack.
Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a standard pint glass with a dark brown hue and a modest, tan head. Dark roasted grains on the nose and toasted pumpernickel bread, coffee, dark caramel and some burnt milk chocolate sauce on the palate. I'll guess IBUs about 30 here with the ABV at 5.2%. I *think* this is the first microbrewery in the Triangle area, unless Weeping Radish preceded them. Solid but unspectacular brew.

From 3/24/16:
From last PM:
Palo Santo Marron (draft)-Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
Two ounce taster of this after the Wine Barrel Aged Joco Tater and, at 12% ABV, that was plenty.
All the above still applies. This is a superb wood-aged imperial brown ale and may spur a trip to Total Wine this week to see if it's available as a 4 pack to include one in our daughter's 30 beers for 30 years birthday celebration present at the end of this month.

LOL.
On draft at Bottle Revolution, 1.5 blocks from my office. They also have it in pint cans for $3.59 or $3.79 each. If Stella carries other Deep River products, you might find it there or inquire if they could procure it for you. If not, I could easily stroll down there tomorrow after work and pick up one or several.

Ruby Lager (bottled on 11/13/18)-Olde Hickory Brewing Company
Drink (sorta) nearby beers!
Beer #2 from my February beer club 4 pack.
I must admit, I was not too excited about an Olde Hickory lager when I received my e-mail that this month's selections were ready but was pleasantly surprised after sipping with ziti and meat sauce for tonight. Not a great pairing but each were good as standalones.
Poured aggressively from a 12 ounce bottle into a standard pint glass and was rewarded with a foamy, slightly off-white head topping a reddish-amber beverage. Nose of toasted grains and tastes of medium brown caramel, flowers, some herbal/earthy hop bitterness and roasted nuttiness. IBUs at 20 and the ABV was 4%. Happy to have sampled the single but wouldn't buy/trade any more.

Won a family tree membership to Hardywood for 2019 (thru a lottery), which of course I paid for...but besides getting to pre-purchase limited releases like the Ruse, they do quarterly specials just for members. My first quarterly "box" -
-Knob Creek barrel aged Barleywine - 14% abv, aged 9 months. True english style barleywine using Marris Otter base malt and East Kent Golding hops.
-Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut - 10% abv. Cassowary base stout blended with almond, toasted coconut and Madagascar vanilla bean.
-Banana Bread Ale - 9.5% abv. Equal parts Cassowary and Belgian style-quad, with cinnamon spice, banana and walnut flavors.
Pickup February 15th, plus a Teku glass and $5 gift card for drafts...which ones to drink and which ones to bring to football tailgating?
