I blame Wynton, what was the question?

I just came back from a brief trip to Charlotte, NC, and had a chance to stop at the Olde Mecklenburg Brewery. I had a couple in their Festhall, along with their crabcakes, and it gets an unequivocal thumbs up by me and the wife.
Further more, within a city block or two, there are two other micro-breweries and a cider brewery, so one could pass quite a bit of the day there. Alas, the others went unsampled, but that's okay. As I come to understand my own tastes, I'm fairly consistently in the German & English styles camp. Their Ninth Anniversary Altbeir was particularly good.

Yep. I know OMB well, and usually have at least a sixer in the fridge from them. The space they built out there is really awesome.
Like you, I'm firmly in the German and English style camp. I love pilsners and lagers and seek those styles out wherever I go.
Wifey and I will be in San Francisco and then Hawai'i this week, and I'm sure I'll make some time to sample some local beverages.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
Wifey and I were in Orlando, Fla., this past week to go to Universal Studios and to check out the surrounding area for retirement potential. While at Universal we had an expensive lunch at a so-so restaurant. I had a Bell's Two-Hearted Ale. Absolutely loved it. Best part of the whole meal. A nice pale ale with subtle hop flavor; just right.

Just what I happen to be drinking:

One of the more established microbreweries opened up a tap room, literally a city-block away from my apartment: Sante Andairius Rustic Ales.
What they have on tap exceeds what they list on the website. Downside: they don't sell flights. Upside: a delicious herbal pilsner called the "Collective We," and a rather smokey brown ale called, "Old Ghosts." So I had the pleasure of walking through the rain into the taproom, handing the lad behind the bar my growler, and asking him to, "Fill it up with Old Ghosts."
It was a poetic moment.

Hot dog! The local beer shop (Salud in Charlotte in case you’re curious) just got a big shipment of Jester King! Farmhouse Texas style beers are in my future.

Charlotte (named after a queen) is in Mecklenburg County.
OMB’s founder traveled (or lived?) in Germany. When he came back to NC, he wanted to drink the same beers he drank there. This according to the brewery tour.
They’ve got a Spring bock out now. It’s delicious.

Wasn't sure on which thread (Currently Reading or Beer Snob) to post this, but decided to go here. I'm currently in the midst of a wonderful book, The Comic Book Story of Beer. It's like a graphic novel or Classics Illustrated on the history of beer.

While reading it last night, I enjoyed a Spencer IPA from the Trappist monastery in Spencer, Mass. Delish!
