Last stop was Olde Mecklenburg Brewery. Good german style beers and good. Had the Copper Alt. Very good. I'm already looking forward to our trip to Dusseldorf next spring!

Tall glass of copper colored German alt beer.

Thank you! These are added to the list.

Heading to Charlotte, NC tomorrow for the Bills vs Panthers game on Sunday. Any good beer or food/bakeries that we should not miss while in town? Any good metal shows Saturday night?

As a Sabres fan I also enjoyed watching the Red Wings last night. That was 2 of our maybe 79 points we will get this season lol.
Looks like another good beer trip for you. Cheers!

The Kutil-mobile! Nice.

oh man. It was worth a visit. I had been wanting to get out there for awhile and then Sacred Profane opened. Had to go!

Looks like I need to take a trip to Toronto.

ohhhh... I'll have to try that.

Saw them on 70k Tons cruise in 2016. Have a bunch of good pics from that show.

Yep. Gemut is always good and a really nice spot to visit.

Bolt Fuckin' Thrower! I almost never see anyone else wearing Bolt Thrower gear at shows but did see a dude wearing a camo Bolt Thrower hat at the Acid Bath show in Baltimore.

I didn't know that was there. The only beer we went looking for in Switzerland was in Gimmelwald but they were closed and then we missed the last ride back to Murren and had to hike back up in the dark lol. Good times!
Definitely would have stopped there.

elj4176.bsky.social @elj4176.bsky.social · Sep 9

Another of my favorite spots in that area (that I don't see talked about much) is Burning Blush. It's just around the corner in Mills River. May as well visit Sierra Nevada while you're over there.
That Dunkel looks good!

That should be Golem Czech Pils. We need an edit button!

Stopped at Gemut Biergarten brewery in Columbus on our way to see Nate Bargatze. The windows were custom made for the brewery. The beer is their Gollum Czech Pils.

That brewery is worth a visit. One of the best tours I have been on and the beer at the end is fantastic!

Could you partner with a local brewery that might use that much? I don't think I can get those here (US) or I would send you a # of each since I would like to try them as well.
