I’ve long been a big fan of expanding my beer horizons (‘beerizons’).  Tasting a new beer that leaves an impression always seems to make my night.  Living in North Carolina, I’ve grown accustomed to the Beer Flite – a sampler of selected brews that 1) always seems to be served on some sort of paddle, and 2) are usually served in little pint glasses that make me feel like a giant!

Paddle? Check. Tiny glasses? Check. Urge to chug a porter? Check...

    Tons – those unfiltered brews are incredible! More bars need to do this. Becoming a big fan of Allagash White.

    NC? Plenty of good microbreweries there.

    That wasn’t supposed to post yet…

    Anyways, check out Foothills and Pisgah if you haven’t already.

    I think Pisgah bottles are available throughout NC, but I could be wrong, I’ve only gotten stuff from them in trades.
