Two days ago there was some KBS in town.

I found out a bit too late, Founder's KBS was distributed in the Atlanta area on Wednesday and Thursday, I wasn't on any lists and I checked at my local place but they were all out 2 hours after it arrived.

NoDa Brewing 3/2

Went here the day before my daughter's best friend's wedding in Charlotte, NC. I had on of their beers earlier in the day, the Midnight Madness, a black IPA or Ale. I then went over to the brewery over in the North Davidson area of Charlotte, NC. A really nice brewery, no tours the day I was there though, they were brewing a batch of beer and the back was busy. The taproom opened a few minutes after I got there, at 4pm and I was served up samples of the other 4 beers they produce, Ramble on Red Ale, Coco Loco Chocolate Coconut Porter, 10 Blocks South Extra Pale Ale, NoDaRyez'd Rye Imperial IPA. Served by the very tattooed and cute Courtney who is affectionally known as "Her Hopness" (play on Hoppy and Hot). Enjoyed all of them but the NoDaRyez'd I IPA was by far the BEST of the 5 beers, I can't remember what the beer that they were brewing was but the smells from the brewery were fantastic. The place didn't fill up much considering it was a Friday night but the bar was only about half full and the tables nearly vacant. There was a steady volume of people getting Growlers, mostly of the Imperial IPA and the Midnight Madness.
