In this episode we drink the rest of the beer friend of the show, Taylor, brought back for us for NC. Mark’s vocabulary fails him while Justin has a brain fart.

Lonerider opened its doors in Raleigh, North Carolina on January 23rd, 2009 with a beer and a dream. Today, Lonerider is distributed in nine states and is counted amongst top 150 breweries in USA. An Inc. 5000 and CED Top 25 winner, with an eye for quality, Lonerider crafted each of its beers with the highest quality ingredients. As a result, Lonerider has a portfolio of award-winning beers, including medals from the Great American Beer Festival.

Over the years, we’ve been overwhelmed by the number of outlaws with an enthusiasm for craft beers. With such a tremendous variety out there, we can’t even begin to express our gratitude to the community that’s supported us. We’re proud to be located in North Carolina, which has undoubtedly become THE Southern State for beer.

Beer #1: Shotgun Betty

Style: Hefeweizen
ABV: 5.8%
IBU: 12
Flavor Text: Part Vixen, Part Vigilante. Shotgun Betty uses her sharpshooting skills to target those that show a weakness for wheat beer with a body that won’t quit. This German-style hefeweizen features a rich, banana-clove nose and refreshing dry finish.

Beer #2: 6:45 to Raleigh

Style: Pale Ale
ABV: 6.3%
IBU: 55
Flavor Text: Even a second can make a difference between life and death. 6:45 to Raleigh rushed to deliver freshly picked hops to us so we can create our SMaSH fresh hop ale (that’s Single Malt and Single Hop). We’ve selected Golden Promise malt and fresh Cascade hops to be showcased in this simple, yet flavorful beer.

Beer #3: Deadeye Jack

Style: Robust Porter
ABV: 6.0%
IBU: 31
Flavor Text: A wandering Lonerider, never staying in one place too long. Deadeye Jack represents our seasonal porter consisting of a strong malty background with hints of roasted chocolate, subtle sweetness and low hop bitterness.
