Foothills Brewing
Olde Rabbit’s Foot, Year 3. Aug 13
Saturday August 13, 2011 the 3rd release of Olde Rabbit’s Foot arrives. A collaborative blend of wort from Duck Rabbit, Foothills, & Olde Hickory. 22oz bombers are $20 each, 4 bottle limit.
From Foothills:
It’s almost time for the third annual release of the famous collaborative brew Olde Rabbit’s Foot, appearing in bottles on Saturday, August 13.
For those who don’t already know, the Olde Rabbit’s Foot is a truly unique brew crafted from the labors of three different NC microbreweries. Duck Rabbit, Olde Hickory, and Foothills each contributed the wort from their signature imperial stouts; the combined brew was then aged in Pappy Van Winkle barrels with honey and cocoa nibs to produce a libation guaranteed to sweeten your countenance and enhance your reputation.
The bottles are 22 oz. and $20 each, and will go on sale at 10am. As with past bottle releases, we do recommend being very early to wait in line– there is a limit of four bottles per person, but supplies are still limited, and we cannot guarantee or reserve bottles for anyone.

Foothills Brewing Acquires Carolina Beer Brands
Foothills Brewing (Winston-Salem, NC) has purchased Carolina Beer Company, makers of Cottonwood Ales & Carolina Ales. The purchase is not only for beer labels but the brewing equipment also.
The change in ownership will not impact the Carolina & Cottonwood Brands. It will actually increase the distribution of Carolina Beer Company’s brands.
Quoting Jamie Bartholomaus FootHills Brewmaster:
“Carolina Beer wanted production of its beloved brands to be in North Carolina, and we are glad to accommodate. For those of us who enjoy a cold Carolina Blonde or Cottonwood Ale, rest assured that production will remain uninterrupted and the brewing integrity of Carolina Beer brands will be completely preserved as we transition ownership to Foothills.”

Foothills Sexual Chocolate 2011 Release
Foothills Brewing is based out of Winston-Salem, NC with a tasty beer lineup. One of Foothills most eye catching releases is “Sexual Chocolate” an chocolate imperial stout. It’s everything you would expect from a chocolate stout and more. Forget comments about hype. This beer is worth a sip. Or 5. This seasonal beer makes its return on 1/29/11.
From Foothills:
Mark your calendars: Sexual Chocolate 2011 is nearly upon us. Try it on draft starting at 4 pm on Friday, January 28 and then (after a brief nap) get in line. Bottles go on sale at 11am on January 29.
For those of you new to our beer, the Sexual Chocolate is an award-winning Russian Imperial Stout infused with organic cocoa nibs. Deep opaque black in color, it offers notes of espresso, blackstrap molasses, toffee, and dark fruits that serve to mask an alcohol content approaching ten percent.
Some of the accolades for the Sexual Chocolate include a silver medal at the ultra-prestigious Brewer’s Association World Beer Cup earlier this year, a bronze medal at the Great American Beer Festival in 2009, and a gold medal from the same festival in 2010 for Sexy C’s bourbon barrel-aged cousin.
As in years past, the Sexual Chocolate is $15 per 22-ounce bottle, with a limit of four bottles per customer. Lines can start forming at 4 am, and bottles will go on sale at 11 am. Please keep in mind that we cannot hold bottles for anyone, and that cutting places in line or holding places for other people is strictly prohibited. With that said, we can’t wait to see you here!
Can’t make it to Winston-Salem for the release? All is not lost. Look for on-premise Sexual Chocolate draft releases all over North Carolina from February 1-4 and a Virginia debut on February 7 at Jack Brown’s Joint in Harrisonburg, VA. We’ll keep you posted on all the Sexual Chocolate releases as more information becomes available.
