I stopped in at NOLA Brewing in New Orleans, Louisiana and tasted a few beers. The NOLA Brown was solid. The Citra Rebirth was a delicious citra hopped IPA which I really enjoyed. The Double Hopped Hopitoulas was heavy and sweet. And the Rumplestoutskin was a delicious stout aged in rum barrels.
Back at Crescent City Brewhouse in New Orleans, Louisiana in January 2017 – Red Stallion Ale and bowl of gumbo. You simply can’t beat this combo. The beer is malty sweet plus hoppy at the same time – very easy to drink – perfect with the gumbo. Makes for a hearty meal.
I stopped in at Crescent City Brewhouse in New Orleans, Louisiana for dinner and a beer. The seafood gumbo was delicious. Spicy and filling. And I paired the seasonal Kolsch with it which was perfect. A great dinner after a long day of travel. Every time I travel to New Orleans I stop in at Crescent City Brewhouse.
I stopped in at Atwater Brewery in Detroit, Michigan and knew what I wanted right away – Vanilla Java Porter! This has got to be one of my all time favorite beers. Clearly my favorite porter. I wish we could get this back home.
I stopped in at Motor City Brewing Works in Detroit, Michigan for dinner and a beer. I had the summer veggie pizza special. This was the first time I’d ever had kale on a pizza. It was delicious. I’d recommend Motor City Brewing Works just for the pizza. It’s always freshly made. Outstanding! I wanted a light and refreshing beer to accompany the nice warm day and the pizza. The server recommended Summer Brew which was perfect. Light and refreshing with a hint of orange. I also tried the Ghettoblaster which is one of their signature beers and this was superb. A great malty flavor.
I stopped in at the Jolly Pumpkin Café & Brewery in Ann Arbor, Michigan and greatly enjoyed the Roja du Kriek sour cherry ale. It was delicious and perfect in the warm summer day.
I stopped in at Arbor Brewing Company in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a quick pint and greatly enjoyed the Euchre Pilsner. The bartender recommended it based on the pleasant summer day and it was the perfect recommendation. Light and refreshing. I also had a taste of the sour beer on tap which was also delicious.
I stopped in at Lenny Boy Brewing Company in Charlotte, North Carolina and tried both the beer and the kombucha. I enjoyed the Mirage Belgian Tripel and also the Tart De La Wit Sour Beer. Both of these were fine beers. I recommend them both. A great example of a Belgian Tripel and a refreshing sour beer. Kombucha is a non-alcoholic fermented beverage that’s high in B-vitamins, probiotics, and amino acids. I really enjoyed the Good Ol Ginger made with real ginger. Both tart and sweet. Lenny Boy Brewing Company is a great place to stop in Charlotte.
I stopped in at Sycamore Brewing in Charlotte, North Carolina for a sandwich and a beer. The pressed focaccia cheddar grilled cheese sandwich was delicious. And the Serendipity Vanilla session ale I enjoyed with it was also delicious. I highly recommend the food and the beer. I also tried the bourbon barrel aged huckleberry pie brown ale. Also delicious. I highly recommend Sycamore Brewing to everyone in Charlotte and hope I have the chance to return.

I stopped in at Triple C Brewing Company in Charlotte, North Carolina and greatly enjoyed the 3C IPA.
I stopped in at the Birdsong Brewing Company in Charlotte, North Carolina and experienced the Jalapeno Pale Ale which was unique, spicy, and refreshing. I would highly recommend this beer to anyone who enjoys jalapeno flavor. And, it’s not hot! I also enjoyed the ample supply of peanuts in the shell to enjoy with the beer. I highly recommend Birdsong for a beer when in Charlotte, NC.
