Big Beers on the Virginia Line!

By Jonathan Surratt ⋅ July 9, 2004 ⋅ Post a comment

beerinator.com forums member GCBrewingCo supplied us with a nice tidbit of news that he gathered from the Triangle’s closest high gravity beer store. Southern Gourmet (BeerAdvocate reviews) located at 220 Mount Cross Rd in Danville, Virginia seems to be adding some good beers to their line-up. It appears that they’re adding a few [...]

Are we going to get Frostbitten? Or not?

By Jonathan Surratt ⋅ February 5, 2004 ⋅ Post a comment

Two years ago, we were sipping cask conditioned Frostbite, lovingly poured for us at the Speakeasy in Carrboro. This was a very fine situation. Frostbite had just become a 12 ounce bottled product, and it was also available on regular co2 lines scattered across the triangle. Cottonwood Brewery products kept the brewery [...]

By Jonathan Surratt ⋅ October 17, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

beerinator.com member Flash posted the following news about a new Greensboro brewpub on beeradvocate.com. I stole this news without asking, just like I steal all of my other news! This should be a great move for the triad area, and it’ll provide Greensboro drinkers with another craft beer option.

By Jonathan Surratt ⋅ August 6, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

A question I occasionally hear from wine drinkers is, “Why do you like beer better than wine?” Sometimes it is difficult to come up with a concrete answer to this question without starting a heated discussion. I usually will ramble on about how the flavors are more interesting to me, or how beer [...]

Bottling at The Mash House

By Jonathan Surratt ⋅ July 30, 2003 ⋅ Post a comment

I recently was given the honor to do a days work at one of North Carolina’s best breweries. They needed help getting some bottling done, and since I have years of experience at bottle lifting, I was ‘hired’. The Mash House has been bottling their beers for a couple of months now, so [...]
