Nice Slayer reference! Looks like a cool spot. Hadn't heard of this one. I see they have an Altbier so I may have to go check it out. Spent a couple hours this past weekend looking for an Altbier in the stores and ended up disappointed.

Heading to Charlotte, NC tomorrow for the Bills vs Panthers game on Sunday. Any good beer or food/bakeries that we should not miss while in town? Any good metal shows Saturday night?

As a Sabres fan I also enjoyed watching the Red Wings last night. That was 2 of our maybe 79 points we will get this season lol.
Looks like another good beer trip for you. Cheers!

Bolt Fuckin' Thrower! I almost never see anyone else wearing Bolt Thrower gear at shows but did see a dude wearing a camo Bolt Thrower hat at the Acid Bath show in Baltimore.

I didn't know that was there. The only beer we went looking for in Switzerland was in Gimmelwald but they were closed and then we missed the last ride back to Murren and had to hike back up in the dark lol. Good times!
Definitely would have stopped there.

Another of my favorite spots in that area (that I don't see talked about much) is Burning Blush. It's just around the corner in Mills River. May as well visit Sierra Nevada while you're over there.
That Dunkel looks good!

That should be Golem Czech Pils. We need an edit button!

That brewery is worth a visit. One of the best tours I have been on and the beer at the end is fantastic!

Could you partner with a local brewery that might use that much? I don't think I can get those here (US) or I would send you a # of each since I would like to try them as well.

Trip to Baltimore for the Acid Bath, High on Fire, Windhand and Heavy Temple show. Stopped at Guilford Brewery. This is the Czech 10. Pretty solid. Really cool building too.

Meant to visit them both times I was in Prague and just didn't get there. We did manage to find the 12 though at an arcade bar (Joystik). Also randomly found it in a local (midwest US) country store. I guess they shipped some over once and it was canned in NJ for Distro. Good stuff!
