(Blogger's Note: It's been a while since I've posted.  Between a long few weeks at my day job, and lots of things going on the past month, I've been pretty busy working lots of hours for multiple days in a row and traveling around the world.  The next few posts will be subsequent, but were from the last several months.  I apologize for the delay.)

I went out for lunch with Ren and her friend from work Alex.  We decided to try this European place that was in our town.  I got the Borsche and it was decidedly excellent.  I paired a special Honey Rye to go with it.

Excellent place, definitely check out Piroshky & Crepes

On my Tap for the Night was:

- Ochakovskiy Kvass

Style: IPA - Kvass

Brewery: Ochakovo

Untapped Rating: 3.75/5

Description: "Very sweet drink, like a honey rye soda."

Comments: Tasted more like a soda, but still paired well with the Borsche, and provided a sweet treat-like flavor.  I'd drink it again.

After spending a few days back East with my best friend, his family, and seeing my family for a bit, it was time to fly back home.  As is tradition for any trip anywhere, you need to get a drink at any given airport you fly through.  This particular journey allowed me to fly home via Charlotte with a 3 hour layover.  Plenty of time to knock a few back and enjoy the atmosphere. 

Had to collect the Charlotte Douglas International Snapchat Stamp!

Overall, not a bad place to have to kill a few hours.  There's a cool view of the city from a certain part of the airport.

There are also some dedications to flying (Wright Brothers), and some really nice people to talk to.  I'd fly through Charlotte again.

On my Tap for the Night was:

- Brown Sugar Brown Cow

Style: IPA - Brown Ale

Brewery: D9 Brewing Company

Untapped Rating: 4/5

Description: "Amazing, Sweet, Flavorful."

Comments: First beer to knock away.  Tried this one on a recommendation from the bartender.  Not bad, very sweet, lots of flavor, and exceptional.  High marks.  

- CLT IPA

Style: American IPA

Brewery: Catawba Brewing Co.

Untapped Rating: 3/5

Description: "Good IPA, very citrusy, strong, sharp, piney, yet tropical."

Comments: Pretty solid IPA, nice mix of various flavors and textures.  It helps pass the time through the layover.

- Swell Rider Tangerine
Style: Session Ale
Brewery: D9 Brewing Company
Untapped Rating: 2.75/5
Description: "Sour, citrusy, but light, smooth and refreshing."
Comments: This one is for the sour beer lovers out there.  I didn't enjoy it as much, but then again, when it comes to sour beers, I prefer Flanders.  This one was ok, but only if you want something refreshingly sour.
