Pub Crawl #21 The Flying Saucer in Raleigh, North Carolina

Friday, October 26, 2007

Located in downtown Raleigh and close to the NC State campus, you can find an exceptional pub called The Flying Saucer.

Their beer menu is a four (4) page brochure that is packed with great choices.

Tonight the palate pleasers were: Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA, Flying Dog Old Scratch Steam Beer, Carolina Pale Ale, Foothills Double IPA, Highland Kashmire IPA, Cottonwood Low Down Brown, and a lovely Duck Rabbit Milk Stout. I took advantage of their Saucer Flights where you are given 5 different beers from 6 different categories or you can design your own flight. Great Idea.

Lindsay, our 'Beer Goddess" and did a great job of keeping our glasses filled.

The Magic Hat ladies are shown above and in their October attire they gladly gave out tee-shirts, bottle openers, candy, and etc.

I was pleased to be in the company of Terry Finch (host 'dad') and Jim Smith and Jim Smith. No I don't stuttttter, it was Jim Sr., visiting the grand-kids having driven from the Atlanta area) and Jim Jr. from the Jim and Sue team.

The food was ok but the appetizer of the night was the oh-so filling Bratwurst Queso.
