I'll drink Bad Penny on tap, and I seem to remember liking Angry Angel and another one of their beers, but it has been a while since I went on that tour

3/13/2010 11:00:24 AM

it's not for everyone, no need to start calling names over it though.

bad penny, harvest time, and aces & ates coffee stout (both seasonals) are my faaaaave!

3/13/2010 11:09:00 AM

hahahha Hi Kelly

3/13/2010 11:15:44 AM

not impressive beer

3/13/2010 11:19:37 AM

i can't think of anything better than going on a wonderful brewery tour around 2pm, then watching the State game at 5pm. i wish there were a website, from which I could obtain more information about Big Boss and its brewery tours.

sounds like the perfect Saturday to me!!!

3/13/2010 11:19:51 AM

Bad Penny tastes the same as Fat Tire to me, and I rather enjoy that.

3/13/2010 11:20:41 AM

One of my friends works at this brewery so he gets a lot of free beer. so i'm a fan

Missing the first half?

3/13/2010 11:24:20 AM

I'm not the biggest fan of Bad Penny or Fat Tire

but they don't taste at all similar.

3/13/2010 11:27:56 AM

true story...bad penny is a brown ale...fat tire is not... but hey...if you like it, you like it!

haaaiiiii joel

3/13/2010 11:29:12 AM

oh man, I remember Jammngurl16!



just not very well...

3/13/2010 11:30:36 AM

I've been to that old house off of Atlantic Ave in Raleigh. It was a wee bit too 'hipster' for me. That isn't where the tour is, is it??

[Edited on March 13, 2010 at 11:32 AM. Reason : ,]

3/13/2010 11:30:56 AM

i don't know of a house...the tour is at the brewery off atlantic...on wicker dr.

the tours are usually over by 4 and they have TVs upstairs in the taproom for those of us interested in the game...

3/13/2010 11:33:11 AM

Yes that's the place. Its like a big old house. Have you not been there before??

3/13/2010 11:34:43 AM

Horniblow's Tavern.

3/13/2010 11:35:42 AM

yeah, i mean...it's a big old warehouse...i've never really considered it or heard of it referred to as a house before but i think i can see what you're saying...

i wouldn't really consider the crowd "hipster" though...just a big mix

3/13/2010 11:37:28 AM

BB beer is mediocre at best.

that said, i wouldn't mind a brewery tour with some free samples.

3/13/2010 11:50:24 AM

yeah thumper, you sure you're talking about the same place? you got the location, but it's definitely a warehouse and i too would consider the crowd a blend and not primarily hipster

i was thinking the same thing after that post

3/13/2010 12:11:47 PM

Big Boss is by far my favorite local brewery.

I'm at Horniblows nearly every Thursday night.

Blanco Diablo is on tap right now ... it's pretty good, but the best seasonal currently on tap is the D'Icer.

Neither hold a candle to Aces & Ates, though.

3/13/2010 12:20:21 PM

D'ICER treated me pretty well a few Thursday nights ago

3/13/2010 12:22:31 PM

yea I'm thinkin of the right place. It was several years ago and I was drunk when we arrived sooooo yea I could have a slightly skewed memory

3/13/2010 12:53:14 PM

I like the Big Boss nomenclature. And t-shirts... if only I knew someone who could get me one...

3/13/2010 12:56:56 PM

3/13/2010 12:57:44 PM

3/13/2010 1:06:36 PM

haha i remember when they fought...wrestlemania 7 maybe?

3/13/2010 1:11:49 PM

Big Bubba Rogers defeated Jacques Rougeau at Summerslam '91.

3/13/2010 2:31:55 PM

big operator raspberry belgium black ale.

damn good

and for all those haters, you fail to mention what your opinion of GOOD BEER is.....

3/13/2010 3:05:29 PM

I'll be honest, of the local breweries, BB was my favorite until I started drinking Lonerider.

3/13/2010 3:10:39 PM

Lonerider Shotgun Betty nomnomnom

Angry Angel isn't bad though (but I'll only drink it on draft)

3/13/2010 3:11:11 PM

fuck local breweries - i'm looking for good beer. why the fuck would I pick a local brewers shitty beer if I can just as easily grab a good tasting beer from across the country?

dogfish head >>>> big boss

3/13/2010 3:18:46 PM

if there's a local brewer whose beer i actually enjoy, of course i'm gonna choose them over the more popular brands - simply because it's nice to support local brewers.

but i'm not gonna drink something i don't like in order to support them.

if you don't like the local brewery beers then don't buy them. it's simple really.

My friend and I used to play ping pong for hours every Thursday night about a year ago. I wonder if we ever ran into each other.

3/13/2010 3:28:23 PM

I like Big Boss's brown ale.

I like them a lot just because they are local. Well, they were local til I moved to Virginia, but it was cool to have a few local microbrews that made good shit when I lived in Raleigh.

[Edited on March 13, 2010 at 3:29 PM. Reason : I didn't think their beer was that bad. Different, sure, but it's tasty.]

3/13/2010 3:28:46 PM

^^BUT VICTORY ISNT LOOOOOCAAAAALL

why? do you support your local toilet paper manufacturers?

anyway, define local - neighborhood/city/county/state/country? just the closest one?

in that case, I'll open a brewery outside your house and you'll be compelled to always buy my shitty ass beer.

[Edited on March 13, 2010 at 3:37 PM. Reason : s]

3/13/2010 3:36:14 PM

i support them because, regardless of which local brewer you pick, there's at least one of their beers i enjoy. so i buy them.

if they made nothing i liked, then i wouldn't buy them.

and I refuse to because of all their shitty beers I had to try before I gave up searching for that elusive single brew that tastes ~ok.

3/13/2010 3:41:34 PM

why is it surprising to you that people enjoy seeing what other people in their direct surroundings are up to

FUCK LOCAL ART, GO TO THE LOUVRE
