You should have stayed on the East Coast! The Weeping
Radish in the Outer Banks of North Carolina makes the
best Reinheitsgebot German beer I have ever tasted in
the United States.
Their Weitzen is unbelievable. The brewmaster uses a
centuries old formula that his family used in Munich
(the birthplace of Octoberfest). Now they are working
on a purely organic brewery. They will grow and
process their own hops and use the waste as
fertilizer. It will take a few years to get going, but
it's going to be worth the wait!
I drive down to the Outerbanks several times a year
just to pick up a dozen or so 1-liter bottles (they
even have the ceramic flip-tops. I use the empties to
make root-beer!)
Most Total Beverages from Ohio east can get Weeping
Radish beer, or you can visit their website and order
online!
