It is wonderful to see so many people dedicated to promoting all NC Beer has to offer.

(NC Brewers Guild) Greetings Girls Pint Out! I would like to thank you for attending the Big Boss Big Operator release event and Belgo-American beer tasting!

BIG BOSS – BLANCO DIABLO Wit Ale is a traditionally spiced wit, brewed with orange peel, coriander and fermented with a traditional Belgian wit yeast. It has a dry, thirst quenching finish, perfect for summer in North Carolina. ABV: 4.5% / IBU: 16. Enjoy with salads, cheese, seafood especially steamed mussels. BIG BOSS – HELL’S BELLE is a subtle but complex ale that is meant to be a showcase for our favorite Belgian yeast and beautiful Belgian malts. These elements produce a clean, spicy citrus finish. Hell’s Belle remains light and refreshing but still packs a 7% finish. ABV 7.0% / IBU 30 Enjoy with creamy pasta dishes, spicy foods like Indian & Thai dishes. BIG BOSS – BIG OPERATOR Belgian Black Raspberry & Chocolate is a full-flavored stout. The beer is infused w/ 20lbs of fresh raspberry and 10 lbs locally roasted cacao from Elemental Chocolate Co. It culminates with an amazing dark raspberry and chocolate finish. The perfect desert beer or enjoy as a meal! 8% abv Also sampled: ABITA – ABBEY ALE, BROOKLYN – LOCAL ONE http://bigbossbrewing.com/ http://www.abita.com/ http://brooklynbrewery.com/ © 2011 Craft Beer Collective / Away Team Media Bringing you the craft and culture of beer in North Carolina --> Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte, Asheville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Wilmington, NC and beyond Contact us at dave (at) away (dash) team (dot) com

Queen City Beer Fest The Queen City Brewers Festival (QCBF) IS Charlotte on Tap. Premiering at the Neighborhood Theatre (511 E. 36th Street, Charlotte, NC, 28205), on Saturday, February 4, 2012, QCBF is exclusive to the Charlotte-area breweries that are putting the Queen City on the craft beer map. The event will feature a diverse selection of beer styles and flavors to taste and learn about from official brewery representatives. With Charlotte’s craft beer market exploding in recent years, the goal of this event is to spotlight the city’s emerging craft breweries and to bring awareness to the event’s nonprofit host, Partners for Parks, a nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation that seeks to promote and enhance parks, recreation and open space in neighborhoods throughout Mecklenburg County and the surrounding area. More than thirty craft beers will be on hand with each brewery showcasing its full lineup of beers. Brewers are encouraged to bring one “super” flavor or style of beer especially for QCBF, as the event takes place the day before the Super Bowl. QCBF will partner with Charlotte-based food vendors, and guests will also enjoy live music.

Tickets will be $20 & go on sale Monday, November 21st
