Happy Valley Filling Station! We had the pleasure of celebrating some birthdays this weekend at this fun and funky brewery outside of Lenoir. Haven’t been there yet? You need to go! Great beer and atmosphere. The take home crowler of Hazy IPA didn’t last long at all. We will be back soon, promise!

We couldn’t do a baseball-themed episode without a baseball beer, and what better craft style than “Play Ball!” Pilsner from (Raleigh, NC). And another great summertime pounder? How about “Summerfest” Summertime Lager from (Chico, CA & Mills River, NC). And for dessert (or your sweet tooth during the 7th inning stretch) we enjoy “Piña Colada Kölsch” from (Blowing Rock & Hickory, NC). These are some great North Carolina craft beers you will definitely want to indulge in this Summer!

For the unknownth time, who’s that guest on the mic? Hey, hey, hey it’s Hootie! But Hoo/Who is this you ask? He’s one of our all-time favorite guests to have on the show, mostly because he brings beer! (And laughs and good times and such of course.) Join us for our 75TH EPISODE, you’ll be glad you did!

We indulge in one of the newest styles on the craft beer scene, a West Coast-Style Pilsner called “Lord of the Fuzz” from (Asheville, NC). We also get catty with “Hop Creature”, a Hazy Double IPA from (Greeley, CO). And rounding out the trifecta, and aptly saved for last, we sip on “There’s Been an Incident” porter with peanut butter, marshmallow and graham cracker from (Charlotte, NC).

A huge “Welcome Back” to Cold Mountain Spiced Winter Ale from (Asheville, NC). We featured this yearly limited release from one of our favorite on our latest Episode No. 73: Don’t Call It a Comeback.

Don’t call it a comeback! We’ve been here for years—literally. But it has been a while since we were together on the mics, around 7 months. Have we lost our edge or are we sharper than ever? Listen to this podcast to find out!
///
On this episode, we enjoy three craft beers from around the Carolinas. First up is Low Tops Hazy IPA from (Mooresville, NC). Second, we welcome back Cold Mountain Spiced Winter Ale from (Asheville, NC) which we had on our second podcast way back in 2017. And last but not least, we had a pre-Thanksgiving treat: Apple Pie Gose from (Mount Pleasant, SC).

Instead of a comeback, let’s just call it a “welcome back” and hopefully we didn’t keep you waiting too long!!!

International Happy Gose Day! What better way to bring in the Thanksgiving season than with apple pie? We reviewed this variation of an old favorite from (Mount Pleasant, SC) on our newest podcast episode. That’s right, we said NEWEST! Stay tuned for that to drop soon.
