One of the benefits of the new business is offering drinks in the evenings on the house as part of a happy hour like thing. Let's just say "dangerous" - -

I need to start tracking some of the stuff as typically people want to try multiple things in small quantities and want us to try it with them

What is this new business?

 

[weejub]

We bought a B&B in downtown Pittsboro and are also running a Folk Art Gallery out of it. We live on premise. Wife runs the B&B, I still work in RTP. Very busy right now, but its been great.

Rosemary House Bed & Breakfast

The Kindred Gallery

We just brought the B&B back up after being down for two months from the previous owner.

The gallery includes our personal collection as well as a lot of new art from established regional artists we love. We are just getting that portion started - need to hang art, put together price lists and then promote it in the area.

Wise Man brewing. Body electric dipa

Picked this up a couple weeks back at Oskar Blues, tried it last night.....12.9% ABV. Super chocolate taste at first, bourbon taste in the throat, very thick. I liked it but definitely only 1 in a session max for me.......

I am on the lookout for these now

Not as fancy or unique as some of the rest posted here but it’s from where I’m from & it’s darn good.

No beer posts for St Paddys day...... for shame LOL

I had a ton of green beer and green whiskey. This is the only one I personally made after getting home.

Killians Irish Green topped with a green Donut.

My green st patty's day brew that was not green

Currently my "private reserve" (not out for guests):

I have a bunch of the Clown Shoes Josh the Guava king out for guests, too tho

Drinking the Knee Deep now - really well balanced and tasty for only 6% = reminds me of the complexity of more boozy stouts.

**Edit** The Earmuffs was just the name . . had to try that

@weejub Let us know how the Westbrook is. I swear I saw that at the big Taj Mah Teeter today. At least I hope so. I was on a mission that only included a cursory look as I cut through the beer aisle.

 

[weejub]

The Traeblood was . .well like blood and really sweet. I didn't really enjoy it.

I am however, enjoying about everything Clown Shoes is making right now.

A little Vermont IPA extravaganza this week (ok one's an APA, but whatever).
The Peasant King Imperial IPA, from the Burlington Beer Company, is the hands-down winner IMHO.

VERY sweet, but unlike some, still drink-able as it is balanced out on the back end by some bitter. I drank it as I smoked a cigar, so kinda different than typical.

I am TIRED of all the super sweet stouts. Prefer getting back to a nice dry stout that has some complexity.
