| - I FINALLY made an effort to visit NoDa Brewery, and what an evening I picked. It just happened to be their second anniversary. The place was absolutely crowded.
I initially intended to sample a flight, but customers were two deep at the bar, so I postponed that experience for another time.
I wanted to try two beers especially: the CoCo Loco and the Hop, Drop, and Roll.
Since it was their anniversary, they had a special version of CoCo Loco, which was a Rum Barrel Aged Imperial Coco Loco. It was extremely smooth, dark, and refreshing.
NoDa Brewing had several, one barrel, limited editions on tap to celebrate their anniversary. Tuesday, 10/29/13, would be a great time to visit NoDa Brewing.
I also grabbed a four pack of Hop, Drop, and Roll in cans. I put one on ice when I got home and I paired it with several of Le's Sandwich: Banh Mi. The Hop, Drop, and Roll was extremely flavorful, with a strong hop character, but it wasn't overly bitter. I enjoyed this beer a lot, and I had to fight temptation to drink a second one. (I did enjoy a Fat Tire that I had in the fridge though. LOL)
The men's restroom was CLEAN. The table areas were CLEAN. The bar was CLEAN.
I was too full to visit the on site food truck, doggone it!
There is plentiful overflow parking across the street, and that's where I parked.
I will be back here soon for that flight that I promised myself. Plus, I really want to take their tour.
This was my initial experience with NoDa Brewing, but to quote Casablanca, I can already tell that "this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
