Beertopia
Thanks to Jeff, I have been to Beertopia, part of Beer Corner USA. On Jeff’s recommendation, I picked up a Boulevard Saison-Brett, which was very good. I also picked up a bottle of Brigand (which I’ve never had before), a bottle of Old Foghorn (which a beer seller in NC tried to tell me was discontinued, one of the many reasons I’ve come to believe NC is a beer wasteland),1 and a Tommyknocker Cocoa Porter (which I’ve yet to try but now see hasn’t gotten great reviews at BeerAdvocate.). Beertopia is a nice little shop and I’ll definately be back, but they didn’t have most of the barley wines I was looking for nor Orkney Brewery’s SkullSplitter (named for Thorfinn Hausakluif, the seventh Viking earl of Orkney).
- To be fair to NC, I should note that the Duck-Rabbit Brewery makes an awesome Milk Stout. [↩]

Twitter Feed- Visited Arbor Day Farm in Nebraska City yesterday, which is where Arbor Day was started. I should remember to take pictures.
- A good start to what I hope to be a good day.
- Trying to get this week on the right track.
Got to give love to NC. The Asheville area is bursting with new beer and one of the best beer stores in the country. Pisgah, Highland, Duck Rabbit and so on….
I was about as far from the Asheville area as one could get. I could buy three of the four offerings from Duck-Rabbit, however, and they were good.
