    Brawley's Beverage on Park Rd. Total Wine is decent in that area too. Good Bottle is pretty decent as well. Duckworth's for tap list (there's one on park rd near Brawley's). If you can swing by NoDa they sell cans of Hop Drop out of the brewery, I believe (though you may be able to find at other places)

    Those are the places I go when I'm in Charlotte, @treznor may know others...

    Yeah -- I definitely liked it -- it was VERY different from anything I've had before.

    Cool, thanks! Looks like I have options I'll just have to fit in whatever I can.

    So I was lurking and catching up and saw someone mention the next round occurring at some point. If nobody has been chosen to assign targets and people don't mind this, I'd love to be the one to send targets as I'm 99% sure I'll have to sit this round out (unless it's months out from now), and would like to be involved somehow :slight_smile: If that's not kosher, or someone has already stepped up to it and I didn't realize that's fine with me too

    No picture because I'm on mobile app, but on my way down yesterday I did an IP trade with @Devman171 . The agreed upon was my question 1 pizza boy golden sour for his 2 french toasted wake n bake, but of course we each had light extras, my end bring a crowler of vlad (9.9% imperial stout from a maryland brewery that is escaping me at the moment). Awesome small trade, stoked to have a couple extra FTWnB on hand!

    No problem! Charlotte (like most of NC) has a nice little beer scene going on. They get good distro there from other states too.

    Glad to have began talking with @Justdoit1234 and inviting him to this great group. Doorbell rings before 9am on a saturday and it was UPS. I didn't even know they delivered on Saturday. Jesse dropped this 'little' six shipper on me:

    BCBS - permawant - I ran out last year around February and don't plan on that happening again.
    CS Itasca Loonidragon - BBA RIS that is MN only I believe!
    Bent Paddle BBA Double Black - never heard of, excite!
    NB La Terroir - want for two reasons, Jesse knows both!
    2014 Darkness - a great friend opened his and I got a third of a bottle. It is fantastic. However I sent my only bottle to @Dave_Treat for the 12 Days of Xmas. So glad to get one back.
    BCBCS - Enough said, permawant as well.

    Thanks a ton Jesse, you've made my Saturday!

    Edit: also a cool looking MN brewing magazine.

    Have a good time! Have a couple of friends going from MSP - they tried to get me to go with but I couldn't make it this year.

    That Bent Paddle Double Black is a great beer, so is the the Loonidragon.

    That's a bummer. I am looking forward to going, but seeing as none of my friends scored tickets to buy 17, they didn't want to make the 4 hour drive with me. I'm looking forward to it, just hope it's not as crazy as what I've read about years past.

    Lol, that is awesome. I figured since I'm 30 as well and if I lived in MN, Kirby Puckett would be my favorite player. As they say, timing is everything.

    Also, you should take a guess at my LIF! Only 3 guesses so far and nobody is right... see post 12136

    I read your post, thought "34", followed by "never mind, he posted 5 minutes ago and somebody guessed that by now"
