HOGWASH hickory-smoked brown porter
Bacon beer! We house-smoke malted barley over hickory wood, imparting a sweet, subtle smoke to our hickory-smoked brown porter. Depending on your comfort level with smoked beers, you may find Hogwash subtle or overwhelming. Try it with North Carolina barbecue for some smoke-on-smoke action, or go for the Trifecta of Awesome: bacon, beer, and chocolate! 5.5% ABV
Availability: YEAR-ROUND, mostly.*
Good copy, but they had me at "Bacon beer!" Sadly, we missed the "mostly" this time and settled for corn-brewed cream ale and a solid southern lager. Mighty fine fallbacks.
And, after a couple of pints, the strangest thing. A belly dance recital broke out.
Just shoot me now.
That's odd. This picture seemed in perfect focus when I took it.
* Text from the Fullsteam Brewery website. If you're ever in Durham, their sweet potato beer is amazing.
Looks tentatively like I might be in Western NC for a few days in late November.
ReplyDeleteYeah. You hear there’s beer and belly dancing and suddenly you’re coming to North Carolina.
ReplyDeleteKeep me in the loop and we'll make something happen! I owe you for hosting that great Texas trip.
Am I just getting old or is my "beer eyes" deceiving me?
ReplyDeleteYes, Mel.
ReplyDeleteDid you say Beer AND Bacon ??? I think I'm in heaven!!!
ReplyDeleteExactly, Seth. The food and the drink of the gods. Together. Heaven.
ReplyDeleteThe struggle between revulsion and attraction to a bacon-beer concept is currently playing out in my brain. Fascinating.
ReplyDeleteIt is sort of hard to wrap your head around, Steve. Thankfully the belly dancing was an effective distraction from the inner turmoil.
ReplyDeleteHmm...a beer that causes sudden outbreaks of belly dancing? Sounds like the kind of thing a fella could (should) engage in with some regularity. As for the out of focus picture, at least you had the presence of mind to bring it back for the rest of us. Much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mac, for also considering this intriguing cause-and-effect relationship. As Steve put it, fascinating.
ReplyDeleteAnd no prob on the pic. My pleasure.
Bacon beer and impromptu belly dancing...not a bad way to soak in the night!
ReplyDeleteI think NC is onto something...
Bacon Beer! Goes well with Bacon Popcorn and Bacon! Belly Dancer always a plus!
