Took in the Western Carolina v. Liberty football game this weekend in scenic Cullowhee, NC. By far the prettiest vistas of any football stadium that I have ever been to. Great views up and down the valley that WCU is located in from the stadium. Stopped in the Heinzelmännchen Brewery before the game to top off two growlers that I had purchased their back in the spring. Went with their new Dunkel Wies and the Kilted Gnome Scottish Style Ale (had this last spring). The Dunkel was excellent, sweet and smooth with a hint of hops. Very refreshing for a dark beer and perfect for cooling the mouth during the hot hours of the tailgate. The Kilted Gnome is a high grav (7.5%) and they have changed the recipe a bit from the spring. It is now a bit sweeter up front and has a nice hoppy and warming finish. If you are ever stranded in Western North Carolina and need a microbrewery fix make sure to stop in to Heinzelmännchen. Dieter and his wife Sheryl run the place and are very helpful. Samples of each beer style plus their root beer and birch beer offerings are available as are pretzels and a big selection of mustard. This is a must stop for me if I am anywhere near Sylva. Check out their website for directions and more info!
