    Anyone try the Burial/Hoofhearted collab yet?

    It's not good.

    I am liking the latest batch of Hawkbill though.

    Grabbed a New Jack based on this and having it now, like it a lot! Very mosaic forward.

    Steez is pretty damn good.

    Drinking one now. Have to say this beer is not very good. Not bad, but pretty much completely forgettable.

    I'm throwing in a vote for enjoying the Burial / Hoof Hearted collab. I had one last night and was fondly remembering it on my commute to work today. I want my Two Dollars.

    Thought so as well. New Jack was equally solid. If you are in Wilmington Thru My Trees is on tap and it might be their best IPA yet. New Anthem's The Illest porter is filthy good.

    It's fine. Light and easy drinking. Well crafted, but nothing to go out of your way for these days.

    agreed, good but not worth seeking out in these days of good beer everywhere

    Well, we have a new beer coming out tonight that we are very excited about (available at 4 pm when we open). Honey Drip is our 7.4% seasonal IPA made this time with local honey from Renn Bee Farm in Salisbury. We used Columbus, Simcoe, Centennial, and El Dorado hops in this one. Smooth and easy drinking for the ABV. We also have cans in the tap room for $8 each (limit of 2). See you soon! #highbranchbeer #cltbeer #ncbeer

    Really, really looking forward to trying this.

    I wish I would've picked up more than a single can of New Jack. Might see if there's any left today and also give Steez a whirl.

    What's everyone perspective on how crazy burial will be today?

    I'm showing up around 3-4. Not even bothering with the line, but last time I showed up late I lucked out and got the FF collab can (I think that was the beer, it was the weekend the brewery was slammed due to Hurricane Matthew forcing the Floridians north).
    I'll be satisfied just having it on draft

    Seems like they still have some. I just got here, it's great on tap.

    Liked Steez a lot, maybe not quite as much as New Jack. But New Anthem is definitely on my radar now. Cool to see places like them and High Branch popping up around the state and helping to raise the standard for IPA's.

    I finally got there Saturday night, and I completely agree, it was excellent!

    This Bandwagon IPA is legit. Happy to finally try these guys.
