Good beers in North Carolina?

I love everything by Olde hickory. Foothills has some good stuff as well.

 

Are you going to be in the Raleigh - Durham area on your way to the coast? Your options my be limited in Ocean Isle.

For beers brewed in NC that are bottled or canned, I would suggest Olde Hickory, Duck Rabbit, Foothills, Oskar Blues, and Highland.

 

From olde hickory their imperial stout should still be out and their double ipa redeemer should be too. Death by hops is good as well. Foothills seeing double, porter and ipa are solid. Yes duck rabbits stuff is also good to check out...they have a new black ipa thats cool,

 

There's not much in the Ocean Isle area, though you'll be able to find six-packs of some of our breweries -- i.e. Duck-Rabbit, Mother Earth, Highland, etc. -- at the Lowe's Foods.

You'll find a better selection at the Piggly Wiggly at Market Commons in Myrtle Beach. In addition to some NC beers, you'll also be able to grab a few offerings from Westbrook and Coast.

 

Agree on the previous comment. Lowes is the only grocery store at OIB, I would look for Foothills Seeing Double bombers & Aviator Hogwild IPA cans there. I would also go to the Pig at Myrtle Beach and see if they got any Westbrook Mexican Cake.

 

and Westbrook IPA. Cant imagine a better beer to walk on the beach with!

 

Well, maybe Westbrook's White Thai. Or the Gose, once it's canned.

 

You are probably right Handle, but I am just very partial to Westbrook IPA. One of the beers that got me into craft beer, so it is a year rounder for me. White Thai just hit my fridge again. Will be there for the next 5-6 months. Never had Gose.

 

It's all personal preference -- they are all great beers! I actually need to get down to Rock Hill to get my Westbrook fix from chefkevinb.

 

Ironically, my name is Kevin and my last name is B. Is this other one the guy @ Grapevine?

 

No, Kevin works at Earthfare in Rock Hill -- but Grapevine is another great spot to grab Westbrook.

 

I see.....just moved to Charlotte relatively recently and still learning all the places. I will need to stop out @ Earth Fare Rock Hill sometime.

 

Yes, yes you do. (You too Daniel)

edit: Also it's Chefkevinb on twitter, ChefKevlar here on BA

 

I'm such an amateur. I hope to stop by and see you soon!

 

Come on down (but not this week cause I'm on vacation)
