We can hardly believe it’s that time again, but February sees the ‘08 release of Foothills Brewing’s delicious Sexual Chocolate. Of course, Barley’s will get a keg and they will be sent westward on February 4. Here’s the kicker (from BeerAdvocate):

Sexual Chocolate ‘08 will be tapped January 30th in dual locations: Tyler’s Durham and Foothills Brewing Company.The Sexual Chocolate will have limited distribution to accounts in North and South Carolina…only 20 kegs will be released (some will be 5gal). SC ‘08 will be found for sure at both Tyler’s, 3 Flying Saucers (Ral,Cha,Col), Six Pence Pub(Blowing Rock), 6th & Vine (WS), Snapshot (Greenville, SC), Barley’s Ashe–plus a few more. Kegs will go out the week of February 4th, so mark your calendars…Look for events at Flying Saucer Charlotte and Raleigh on Feb. 6.NOW FOR THE BIG NEWS:Foothills Brewing Company will host a Sexual Chocolate Release event on SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2 at homebase. The reason for waiting a few days after the release???

We thought it might be easier for those of you with day jobs to make it on Saturday…Plus, we will be releasing Sexual Chocolate in 500, limited edition, 22oz. bottles. Exact pricing in a few days, but there will be a limit of 12 per customer. Cash or cards will be accepted—no checks. Due to the limited volume of Sexual Chocolate, no growlers will be available. Tours will be availble for those 1st timers….Saturday will also see some special beers on tap at Foothills, so come and hang out for a while. Foothills merchandise will be available as well.

I will update this post over the weekend…Thanks for your patience and loyalty. Also, please DO NOT call the pub seeking information, I will let you know as soon as I do…Just wanted to give a little planning time to those with a haul.

We are so happy that more NC breweries are seeing the value of bottling these limited releases. It creates buzz for our state and is over all a very good thing for beer.
