. I'm sure the IBU are low, probably 20-30 range and the ABV of this style typically runs about 5% or less. Enjoy with some light appetizers or fruits. Very pleasant. Think Hoegaarden or Blue Moon with this type ale.
Yumm! I'm glad you enjoyed!

If there is ever a rare beer that you are undecided sure whether to buy or not, go ahead and make the purchase and I can about 99% promise you I'll trade for it or buy it from you. Unless, of course, you decide to purchase another 12 ounce bottle of iron city or a bomber of budlitelime. :roll:

Otter Creek Raspberry Brown Ale-an interesting offering from the folks in Ver-mont. This is a fairly typical clean, crisp brown ale with perhaps a bit more hop presence that one would expect but all the caramel maltiness that is instrumental to the style. There is a hint of dark red to the brown color and a mild aroma of raspberry and a bit more prominent taste of the fruitiness. There is not enough fruit to make this a dessert brew but it would be tasty with stews and beef and veggies dishes. The IBU are modest and I'd guess about 30 and the ABV is 5.8%, IIRC.

is redeeming himself for that iron city clunker he slipped into this trader 6er. ;)

French Broad Brewing-Gateway Kolsch-Kinda outta place for a cool fall evening but I tasted this a couple weeks ago at The Pit. A very light beer in the typical style of a German kolsch with hints of apples and pears with little malt presence or hops. I'd guess the IBU to be 10-20 and the ABV is 5.3%. A pleasant brew to have with light grilled fare like seafood.

Mother Earth Brewing (Kinston, NC)-Sisters of the Moon IPA-draft tasting at The Pit a couple weeks ago. A nicely hopped IPA with a bit of grapefruit and a bit of spruce tastes. Good malty balance in a golden, clean pour. I only had an ounce or so but thought it would be a good choice with the chopped 'cue, the beef brisket and the fried chicken. I'd guess the IBU to be 60-70 and the ABV was 6.1%. Note: CB&B-you may wanna see what this brewery has on your way through Kinston some time when you are heading to the Triangle. Hey,
![Skull 8-x](./images/smilies/59.gif)
could stop by on his way to/from G-ville, too.

They are the brewery that I mentioned I saw the billboard for. You guessed they were probably pub-only, and you are correct. They don't bottle, but it would be fun to see the brewery. I think we need an NC brewery tour.

It's not on his way to or from Greenville, but it is nearby. We'll try to go down there sometime and check it out. Is anyone else interested in joining us?

Let us know his travel plans. We could probably do a drive by on our way to/from the coast. You might get CB&B up if he could arrange a brewery tour and meet the brewmaster ;)

Count me in!
I've called on major breweries in Winston Salem (originally Schlitz, and then they sold it to ? I believe it closed in the late 80s), Eden (Miller), Williamsburg (AB!) and Elkton, VA (Coors) over the years, trying to sell them stuff (usually successful, BTW). I've always enjoyed ending the day with their brewery tours and sampling rooms!

There is also Duck Rabbit in Farmville (they don't give regular tours, I've heard, but might if you called ahead), and the Carolina Beer company in Mooresville, and they do give tours.

Jungle Jim's had a fairly extensive selection of beers. Too many for me to really understand what was going on...

Never too late to start sampling... ;)
Buy yourself a mixed 6er and have one each night next week and then select your favorite and have that one a second time on Saturday night. We'll help you with the virtual tastings. I'm gonna volunteer Lavabe at some point to make the 1 hour (?) drive to C'nati and be your beer tutor.
