Subject: NC beer (summary)

Thanks to all who responded to my question about beer in the
Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. Here's a quick summary:

Highly recommended brewpub:
Greenshields, Raleigh. Nice atmosphere, authentic chow, tasty Porter and
Oatmeal Stout. Also sales by the keg, and rumors of putting in a
bottling line.

other brewpubs:
French Quarter, Durham (formerly Old Heidelburg, formerly Weeping
Radish). Under new management, not serving homebrew just yet (but soon).
French Creole food.

LogerHead, Greensboro. Generally lighter brew, although recommended
"General Greene Lager" is more full-bodied.

Spring Garden Brewery. A chain of restaurants in Triad area with their
own brewpub in Greensboro. Exclusively lagers, a "Bavarian-style Brew
House."


Bars with a good selection:
Fat Daddy's, Raleigh  "no atmosphere, but great selection"
Mr. Dunderbaks, Raleigh


Other bars of note:
He's Not Here, Chapel Hill
Troll's, Chapel Hill
"Irish pub type place on Rosemary", Chapel Hill

Stores:
Wellspring Grocery, Chapel Hill, imports and craft brews
Fowler's Gourmet, Brightleaf Square, Durham
College Beverage, Hillsborough St. near NC State "THE place for kegs"
American Brewmasters, Raleigh, homebrew supplies, great selection

Miscellaneous Good Advice:
"Stay the hell away from Raleigh bars. Except maybe Mitch's"
"Believe everything you've heard about Chapel Hill women."
A true Southerner is a "beer whore- he drinks what's on sale."
"Catch butt-kickin' indie rock at the Cat's Cradle" (Chapel Hill)
"Don't drink Nasty Bo (National Bohemian) unless forced to at gunpoint."

Thanks again y'all, looks like good beer-drinkin' times ahead.
Drink one for me,
John

This is the first I've heard of the "new incarnation of Dos Equis".
I've been drinkin XX for a while and am not aware of any watering down.

YES!  As a matter of fact, I just bought a four-pack of it yesterday as a X-mas
gift for a friend who loves the stuff.  It is also available on tap in many bars.
I buy it in the state of Georgia, however I know that it is not distributed in
some others, e.g. North Carolina.  I would think it would be in Chicago, however.

I have to side with Carl. I get kind of tired of people trashing all Mexican
beers just because they may be popular. I don't think Corona or some of the
others are any good, but I think Dos Equis (amber) is a fine beer. It's not
the most flavorful beer around but it is incredibly smooth and easy drinking
and has a lot more flavor than any of the US megabrews and a lot of the 
European imports such as Heineken. As many of you know, Dos Equis and many
of the other Mexican brews were originally brewed by German immigrants into
Mexico and these beers reflect some of the styles found in Germany today.
Not to say that Dos Equis has the rich, full-bodied flavor of the best German
beers, but it is one of the best damn beers around for a reasonable price IMHO.

No kidding?  That's either a new trick, or we're talking about two different 
Simpaticos here.  The way I learned where it was made was by reading the 
label on aforementioned Nifty Black Bottle.  I'll have to look again next
time I'm in a liquor store to see if they've chnaged it.

I was the person that mentioned Old Depot... 

It isn't particularly exceptional. It tastes like it is an extract brew,
rather than grain. The bottles that I had were all bland... very little
maltiness, and no hops. None of the beers had a lot of mouth feel either. 
Basically boring beers.

Most liquor stores I know store beer in large refrigerated cabinets with 
glass doors that are usually the front of the cold room.  It is impossible 
for beer in here not to be hit by either the fluorescent lights or diffuse
sunlight, and people blue-green light to about 500nm will skunk beer.  It
needn't be uv.  So if you want unskunked beer ask them for stuff in the dark
back of the cooler.

It reminds me, I was slgging off my girlfriend, who usually has excellent 
taste in beer, for drinking a Heineken (which I consider imported Bud -
it's the rice!).  She replied that on the way to work she had smelt a 
skunk, roadkill or whatever, and felt like she wanted a Heineken!!!
And what was that recently that someone posted about some domestic 
brewers test marketing beers with added mercaptens to duplicate that 
'import taste'.  Thankfully, imported = good, domestic = bad is dying out
a bit, but it is still a struggle.  The distributers don't seem to handle 
the good cheap domestic beers like Pabst's Andeker around here, or Stroh's
Signature (is it still available?).  A distributor used to come up from
Indy with beers like that but the evil beer baron's law now prevents that.
I could check over the state line in Michigan, but there beer seems to cost
more, and they have that inane 10c per bottle return, which is a pain in
the butt.  The only reason I buy beer in Michigan is on Sunday when I gotta
have it.

As previously noted, Iowa brewpubs include the Old Depot/Dallas Co. 
Brewing in Adel (15 miles West of Des Moines on hwy. 6) and 
Fitzpatrick's in Iowa City. 

The Old Depot is a good restaurant. The attached Dallas Co. Brewing is 
more a microbrewery...making this a kind of combination 
restaurant/micro rather than an all-in-one brewpub. The beer is pretty 
bland, perhaps well designed for mid-Iowa tastes.

Fitzpatrick's is small...Fitzy brews from extract, on the premises. The 
beer is uneven in quality. His "lager" is fairly tasty. Both my visits 
have yielded disappointment.

If anyone wants to travel a ways for a good brewpub experience, try 
Crane River brewing in Lincoln, NE or Jaipur Restaurant in Omaha. 
Better yet, try Sherlock's Home in Minnetonka (SW Minneapolis). Good 
beer, good food, good atmosphere!

Cheers,
Roger

The beer is called  Hamsire Special Ale, it's not specifically a
christmas brew. It's brewed from november to ibelieve febuary.
It comes in the same shape bottle as the ale but has a winter scene
on the label. Can't help you find any in DC though, I have trouble
finding it here in maine. If you do latch on to some you'll find it
Similar to their ale but smoother and not as bitter. One of my favorite
beers. Good Luck.

...Growing up in Oklahoma, Mexican beers were fairly plentiful: Corona and
Chihuahua (sp?) were THE thing to drink in high school (4-6 yrs ago) if you
could get around the authorities - these days, they taste like flat-beer-
flavored water to me.  In all the talk I've seen here abt. Mexican brews,
nobody's mentioned Simpatico, which I really like - has anyone else tried it?

Leinenkugols(sp?) is ok beer. It's better than the normal mass produced
beer. The make Leinie's Limited and Leinie's Bock(Good Beer), plus
this year Leinie's Anniversery(SP?) Beer. "A Dark Lager". Well it's
about as dark as Sam Adams, and $14.85 a 12pk. You get a wonderfull 
Anniversery Tray, but the beer is ok.

Personally, I've been drinking Lakefront Brewery's Riverwest.
A beer with a little kick.

   I'll agree with you here.  Although my favorite brews are all stouts
and porters (most anything that is roasty, malty, thick, bitter), I was
disappointed in the '91 Sami I had.  The combination of sourness (kind of
a bread-like sourdough thing) and the burning alcohol bite was so intense
I couldn't drink the entire bottle.  There is some satisfaction in having
said I've tasted the foul stuff, and it's another bottle in my collection,
but I don't forsee buying another for quite a while.  The other high-alc
brews are also difficult for me to enjoy (Old Nick, Thomas Hardy, EKU 28
Kulminator, Eggenberger Urbock 23, etc.).  The alcohol 'burn' sensation
is expected in distilled beverages, but in beer it ruins it for me.  Then
again, I'm one of probably very few who would prefer to have non-alcoholic
versions of all my favorite ales (without changing the taste an iota).
But I've heard that this is a difficult and costly process (removing the
alcohol without affecting the taste).
   Later.

Around here, you don't find any re-usable bottles.  We used to buy 
sodas and stuff in re-usable bottles (32 oz) and take them back to the 
store later.  Now, sodas come in 2 liter plastic bottles that can be 
recycled.  Plastic and glass are picked up at my curbside for 
recycling here in Houston, but it seems to be a waste to recycle 
instead of re-use.

In addition to the suggestions offered about the various brewpubs in the 
state of Iowa, I would also offer my suggestion for a virtual "beer house"
in Des Moines.  I was pleasantly surprised when I visited DM this summer
and went to Taste of Thai restaurant in downtown DM and found that they 
had the largest selection of world and local beers that I had ever seen.
This restaurant tops Crown City Brewery here in Pasadena in terms of
selection and variety.  I will be back in Des Moines from the Dec.20-30,
and I'm sure I'll be there many times.  The food's not bad either.

   I think you mean Bamberg, not Bamburg.

   I've also tried the Rauchbier. Next time you go to Bavaria you
   should try the Maisel bier from Bayreuth.

   My favourite beers are the following:

          Holsten Pils (Hamburg, Germany)
          Maisel Pils (Bayreuth, Germany)
          Diebels Alt (Duesseldorf, Germany)
          Wibroe Pilsner (Helsingoer, Denmark)
          Thor Pilsner (Randers, Denmark)
