I'm fairly certain that I can get some Hopslam. I'll have to check into it and PM you. Dying to try some Pliny. EDIT: I can't get it, sorry. I WANT TO TRY PLINY!

i would include some pairing stuff with food or cheese.

+1 worked great for mine.

Fried, no breading. Sauce is butter, Tobasco, and Sriracha.

Also just found this cool and helpful section of RateBeer.com. http://www.ratebeer.com/BestInMyArea.asp Lists the best beers available (rated by members of the site) in your area, as well as the best beers brewed in your area. Pretty neat.

Sorry for the long response time here. Good idea about listing some of the beers I have tried and really like. We do have Sierra Nevada here, and I love the pale ale. APA's are probably my favorite style of beer. I'm pretty much all over the place with my tastes and I'm just wanting to try...

I'm all about trying new beers, of pretty much any variety, but at around $10 for a 6-pack, I don't want to end up getting something I hate. I'm just looking for any suggestions that I'd be likely to find in my local grocery store. Thanks in advance.

just checked the fermenter and the yeasties are working away. probably a bit warm, but i dont have any other options at the moment. i'll probably get a mini fridge with a temp controller before my next batch (maybe an oktoberfest in that case?) I do have one question that is bothering me. I...

just finished cleaning up and the batch is in the fermenter. crossing my fingers for a good one. thanks to all the well-wishers and words of encouragement. :mug:

and having a blast. the anticipation is killing me though. i know i have a long time until I can crack one open. there is a lot of waiting involved lol. brewing an american pale ale, all grain.

High Point is in the Triad just southeast of Greensboro. Pretty much straight up I-85 from Charlotte.
