Brevard Knows Beer

I have been working on a project in this great mountain town called Brevard, NC (new home of Oskar Blues' East Coast Brewery).  I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they have a craft brewery right near town call....Brevard Brewing Company.  I was in town for a meeting and the majority of us decided to go have a beverage and some food after the meeting.  We settled on a place called Marco Trattoria.  Being a Tuesday night, we had the place almost entirely to ourselves.  The waitress called for our order and I, as usual, ask if they had any beers on tap.  They had two, both from Brevard Brewing Company.

I first tried the Munich Dunkel.  I am a huge fan of German beers, so this sounded great.  I was surprised that this Dunkel functioned more like a chocolate stout.  The waitress told me that white chocolate was actually used in the creation of this beer.  This beer is very smooth and lightly carbonated.  I highly recommend this beer.

The second beer I had was the American IPA.  A very solid IPA with full hoppiness and citrus flavor.  I am very much looking forward to visiting the brewery in person.  Marco Trattoria is a great restaurant.  Try the pizzas, they are great.
