Pit Boss Beer Thread

Any NC beer drinkers remember Olde Rabbits Foot? It was a collab done by Olde Hickory, Foothills, & Duck Rabbit that they stopped doing around 2012. They've made it again for the first time in a while and are releasing it this weekend. Wondering if anyone had it when they used to do it? I wasn't aware of it until now.

Seems like it's a blend of Sexual Chocolate, Event Horizon, and Duck Rabbit's imperial stout that is then aged in bourbon barrels. Sounds delicious.

Great beer if you get a chance to get to one of the breweries and have it.
 
Asheville is going crazy today as it's the release of Highland's Cold Mountain in stores. Just picked up a couple of 12 packs and a few 22oz. bottles at the Ingles by work.
 
I love Cold Mountain.
Anybody know if there's still Olde Rabbit's Foot bottles left? I was busy all weekend :/

Not sure - hopefully at least on draft at the breweries for you. Definitely worth tracking down

Cold mountain is good, but a wee bit overrated

agreed. would never go traipsing all over town to find it, but the Ingles is like a quarter mile from my office so not a big lift to check it out. wife is gonna hit one in Weaverville on the way home, but if they don't have any we're ok.

Right at noon, I got the last 12 pack of Cold Mountain at the Charlotte/Woodlawn Total Wine. Unreal the cult following it has (of which I'm a part).
 
Cold Mountain wasn’t at my local shop tonight but I did pick up a sixer of Great Lakes Christmas Ale, which I typically enjoy just as much.

Last year's batch was better I think.

Hmm.. that's what I said last year.


FYI the Olde Rabbit's Foot answer is yes, the tasting room had at least two dozen bottles in the fridge when I showed up after work yesterday. Picked up 3.

Had a 22 last night, saved one bottle from last year, and will compare tonight or later this week. If I remember correctly, last year's had a bit more of a smooth/vanilla taste, while this year a little more coffee. I could be way off, though.
 
this year's is a little more bitter and I feel like last year had more winter spice to it. this is only the 2nd year I've tasted it since I moved to Asheville last year and had never had this particular beer since it's obvi so hard to find.

Brawley's still had quite a bit left last night in 12 packs and bombers.

They still mark it up 2 or 3 times normal retail, and break up the 12 packs to where you can only buy a couple 12 oz bottles at a time? I kind of quit checking because of that.
 
this is the first year I've picked some up...I enjoy it a lot. I'm getting a pretty nutty finish. Very smooth.
