Best place to buy Scotch south of city? Looking specifically for some of the newer Islay stuff? More specifically Ardbeg's Dark Cove, Laphroaig's Lore and to a lesser extent, the Lagavulin 8 yo...

If you're ever in Winston Salem (you probably won't be, but just sayin), Underdog Records is fantastic.

Triple C 4 year anniversary party this weekend

 

[kbuzz1]

Haven't had anything from Triple C - but I see their hoppy stuff all over...how do they compare to Heist, WR or even NoDa?

Lunchbox Records in Plaza Midwood, which is on Central has a fantastic selection. The Sleep Poet on South Blvd sells a ton of old, used records on the cheap. Repo Records on Commonwealth is in Plaza Midwood as well. Manifest as well like JohnnyNC mentioned.

Anyone know if those two Scotch BA beers are still available at Olde Hickory? I'm heading through there on Friday and was hoping to snag some of it...

I've seen some sitting on shelves in Charlotte so I would imagine the brewery still has some

I have had probably over 50 notifications with that post in the last day. At this point, if you haven't heard about it, you don't have the internet haha. So glad this is finally coming to NC, and am looking forward to some great shares in morganton that weekend, as well as the event. I'm wondering if they will get kegs as well as zwanze. Anyway, cheers to NC.

Just glad I got through on the ticket sale. One of the hardest I've tried.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Carolina Beer Temple in Matthews? It's a short drive from the area we live in. Just poking around online, it seems like they have a good selection.

Pretty good spot to check out. Should have some quality NC distro. I grew up in Matthews but I live on the other side of town now or else I'd probably hang out there a lot. Good BBQ joint owned by a beer guy near there too.

Any chance you know of any Steelers bars in or around the same area to catch the game on Sunday?

LOL NO DUDE. Get outa here with that.

 

[2plums4one]

duckworths is good spot with lots of team fans, and I'm sure there are steelers bars, but as a lifelong panthers fan who has to deal with more steelers fans than I like in CLT, you can find the steelers bar on your own lol.

 

[kbuzz1]

haha...fair enough...thanks dude...cheers!

 

[kbuzz1]

What's the growler situation like at Fonta Flora? Do they fill any growler? Halfs?

I think both, but only for certain beers. I would stock up on brass money, get a 32oz hop beard, and maybe a saison if they will let you.

 

[kbuzz1]

any bottles around? Or are those only special releases?

(sorry for all the questions)

 

[2plums4one]

not sure, just called and it went to voicemail

 

[kbuzz1]

So as luck would have it, there was a secret bottle release at fonta flora when I got there. Carolina Custard - wild ale with paw paw fruit. That **** never happens to me. Pretty pumped. FF is a cool ass place too. Definitely glad I decided to bail on work early and head up.

This my might be my favorite post of this thread

I know there are lots of Steelers bars in Charlotte not sure which ones exactly but for some odd reason there are a lot of Steelers fans here. I really don't understand why. I'm sure you find plenty though.I personally try to avoid them but I do have some friends that root for them so I'll ask where they have their heathen gatherings for you

I live not far from there. They do have a decent selection of local stuff. They used to have some decent bottle shares on Fri/Sat nights. Depending on what you are looking for they can fill most needs unless its like a limited release bottle you should be good there. If you are close to there I'll meet you up there for a couple drafts.

Also since we have a few active people in the Charlotte area on the thread now would anyone be interested in a bottle share?
