text: You can really taste the inspiration that Dogfish Head and Founders had on NoDa Brewing Company nnThe Hop Drop n Roll is a sharp and citrusy IPA while the Woody Wilcox IPA has a bit more gentle earthiness to it The Coco Loco was the first NoDa beer I ever tried Bold and subtle at the same time this beer would be a great campfire replacement for smores Many of the other beers I have tried are strongly built and carry their own weight while mingling with the othersnnThe inside of NoDa BC is a typical taproom There are tables and a bar The patrons are an ensemble of culture as you will find many types of people here Mostly people that take beer seriously thoughnnI cannot say there is anything that puts NoDa over the top It feels like a work in progressor maybe that is because the beer has not really knocked my socks off yet nnI do know that I like this place and will come back againnnTry The Coco Loco I knowyou do not like the gimmicky portersbut try it anyhownnAvoid Being one of the smokers huddled under the awning when it rains outside
