Yea that is it.

Going to be on tap at 580 Craft Beer here in Pittsboro but at 2 PM on Tuesday Tuesday is my big work day They will have a keg of HDR to compare with on tap, which I think is cool

So why is it noone can seem to stock fresh beer anymore? Is this just a gso problem?

Is 90-120 days still an appropriate expiration period (bottle color convo aside)

Thought it was just food lion here in madison when they finally upped their beer game last September...... but are still running on that original purchase stock

But now teeter, lowes and even total wine have been a let down. Grabbed a couple green flash yesterday...... enjoy by february 2016! So grab a bruery option. 12/2015. Elysian at teeter. 10/2016

Holy cow - I rarely run into stock that old, occasionally I'll see something that is 3-4 months old, but it isn't the norm. Maybe everyone in GSO only likes the non-craft? .......I kid, I kid!

You might be right though ...... i mean teeter does have a sign "premium beer" over the busch lite aisle

I saw those sassy pink and lite blue busch lite cans littering the road the other day - very premium!

Never heard or seen this imperial version of hop drop. Just check Harris teeter with no luck.

I'll keep my eyes peeled, if I see it I'll by a four pack for me and one for u. Then mudship or Logans. Not optimistic though since I didn't see it at total wines yesterday when hunting for

I'm just now realizing that the Hop Drop 'N Roll I referred to is not the imperial. Wondering where I can find this locally

Imperial Hop, Drop 'N Roll - NoDa Brewing Company

Well, if they have a full aisle for it then you've found your answer.

Isn't it great to live in a state where you don't have to leave your kid in the restaurant lobby waiting on a table while you go to the bar?

 

[weejub]

Yes! But I have never lived in a state like that, so I guess I don't know what I am missing.

 

[pawwright]

agreed, I've only lived in states where we make demean those that bring in babies in carriers and place on the bar or bar table....

I had the Imperial Hop Drop N Roll and it is smooth. For 10% ABV, it is deceptive. That said, I believe I like the current normal HDR out of a can better My guy at 580 Craft Brewing was saying that in his discussions with the Brewer at NoDa when he picked up the keg, that the current cans of HDR are as fruity and hoppy as they have ever been - you could tell the difference from the can to the keg in HDR and then vs the IHDR.

Also had a Clown Shoes Josh the Guava King - wow it was sweet. I still liked it

Thought about posting this in the funny pic thread. Before every home football game the apartment managers buys a bunch of pizza and beer. Normally we get bomb ass pizza with some awesome local pale or ipa and then some crappy ass budweiser. This time for some reason the depot he buys the beer from Forgot to deliver the good stuff so all we got was bud and bud lite. I have had a beer called budweiser in 14 years and that was the Czechoslovakian budweiser which is about 10 times better. But its a friday night and when in Rome.........

If we are confessing things, I had a PBR a few weeks back.
