    Also, I was told many of McCoy's waitresses are strippers by night, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit. I love that place

    While I enjoy their beers, haven't those guys always been somewhat looked down on by other pure start up craft breweries? As I recall, one of their brewers parents basically fronted the entire operation. Obviously they became successful thanks to their own efforts, but thought some of the older Asheville breweries didn't respect them based on their origins ...

    I believe this is true. And I don't think they are some untouchable, best-brewery-in-the-world type brewery, but I do like most of their beers, am getting into sours, and don't want AnBev buying up any more local breweries.

    Yeah I'd agree I'm not sure I've been blown away necessarily by their offerings, thought I'm not a huge sour guy myself. I have a lot of friends that loooooooove Pernicious but there's probably 10+ local IPAs I prefer from Charlotte ...

    I've noticed a lot of places like Brawley's and Salud have nixed Wicked Weed from this point forward, so I guess they aren't too concerned about missing out on WW sales in the future...

    I am considering purchasing a home in about a year and want to sit down with a mortgage broker to get an idea of where things stand currently and what I need to be doing to better that standing over the next year. Does anyone have any friends or recommendations of someone to speak with?

    We went through this guy http://www.bradroche.info/

    We were first time home buyers and he took time to sit down with us about 8 months before we were going to purchase to go over everything. Didn't pressure us afterwards and encouraged us to shop around on him whenever he gave us a rate.

    If anyone wants to buy some day passes to the PGA Championship next week in CLT, let me know. I bought 2 week-long grounds passes when I thought I could go for a practice round and maybe Friday and Saturday. However, having a new boss cuts into it so it's looking like the only day I'll use is Sunday.

    Current offering (Updated as of 8/3):
    - Monday- 2
    - Tuesday- SOLD
    - Wednesday- 2
    - Thursday- 2 (pending)
    - Friday- SOLD
    - Saturday- 2

    also if anyone needs a parking for that, try sharon baptist church. they run a shuttle service for the wells fargo so i assume they will for this too. parking is only $20 or something and includes a shuttle service. went to church there years back and they're pretty good people. money goes to the youth group and community outreach i believe so is a good cause as well

    With football and futbol season quickly approaching, anyone interested in getting together for a slightly awkward TMB Charlotte meet-up. Last time was a good time at Good Bottle but I would be game for anywhere. construxboy Hugo Boss and no, former Charlotte resident Tobias isn't invited.

    I am a huge fan of Heist Brewery - hazy IPAs and awesome food. Grab a waffle sandwich and some good beers at Salud.
