Beer is so amazing and awesome. I've learned how to taste notes in it and I've determined I'm not a fan of super hoppy beers and stouts. Give me a nice golden ale and I'm stoked. I'm happy to take any and all recommendations.

There's tons of awesome local breweries here. One in Durham has a beer made with sweet potato that is delish.

I LOVE BEER

My favorite golden (not technically goldens, but in that mid-range) so far is Avery Salvation, followed distantly by Foret and Devil's Backbone (though DB is kind of sweet.)

If you like malty, rich ones, North Coast's Brother Thelonius Belgian Abbey Ale is one of the best US-made dark Belgians I've had in ages.

Both of those come in 750-ml only, so either split with a friend or make sure you don't have to go anywhere XD

You might also like Dead Guy's Doppelbock, but IDK if it's available in bottles. Probably.

A brewing co-op just opened near our house, and will be serving their own beer soon which I am TOTALLY STOKED about, 'cause if the (bought elsewhere) drafts they have now are any indication, it is going to be BAD ASS. And they serve in 6oz as well as pints, so I can try stuff without getting smashed \o/

THIS IS WHY ONE OF THE RULES IN MY USTREAM IS "DON'T GET ME STARTED ON BEER"

Also, you had Duvel yet? It's really easy to find, and even though it's high-ish ABV, it prob. still falls in the range of what you'd like.

Tried Duvel on your suggestion the other night, and it was really tasty. I don't think I can get anything else you listed in North Carolina, as I've never heard of them. I suppose I could try Peace Street Market and expand my horizons a bit. There's lots of awesome local breweries here in Raleigh, so I try to sample them a lot too. I like something that's a bit sweet; of the Chimays, the creme label is by far my favorite.

Fullsteam Brewery in Durham has a beer I love, called Carver. It's brewed with SWEET POTATO and is outstanding. Just, you know, if you and Brett are ever up this way.
