Nick and Julie explore North Carolina's microbreweries and barbecue establishments
Inside the Mother Earth taproom. Very intentionally sparse, mod atmosphere contrasted sharply by bartenders in plaid. Ordered a flight of the Sisters of the Moon IPA, the Dark Cloud Dunkel, the Tripel Overhead, and a smoky amber ale whose name we can’t remember (although it was Nick’s favorite!). Our bartender was friendly without being overbearing and answered a lot of our questions. He also gave us a taste of the nitro-tap IPA, which was markedly smoother than the CO2 IPA. That smoothness mellowed the bitter hoppiness and gave it an almost creamy finish.
