Lost Colony Brewery's Waterfront Beer Garden

It is that time of year again!
If you just thought, it’s “Pumpkin Spice Time” we can’t be friends. Ever.
If you thought "Christmas Music Time", you’re banned from the pub till November 31st.

No, it’s time for the Kitty Hawk Blonde to put on her new Halloween costume.

Last year she was the “Blonde of Frankenstein”. This year the brewers came up with “The Blonde of the Black Lagoon.” Stevie even did all the artwork for the label. Ladies, he is quite the multi-talented guy. Did I mention he is single?

So, underneath all those green scales is our original Blonde Ale. Same b**r, same flavor. I say this because more than one (way more than one) person mentioned to me last year that we should keep the Blonde of Frankenstein around all year. They said it tasted better than the Kitty Hawk Blonde. All righty now.

Limited edition “The Blonde of the Black Lagoon” are on sale now everywhere.

This morning when I read in the Irish newspapers that someone stole seventy thousand pints of Guinness my first thoughts were,” OH s**t, did I forget to pay my bill last night” Then I remembered I had paid.

With Irish b**r thieves about I will be keeping a close eye on the slightly less than seventy pints of Lost Colony ales I brought over with me to share.

We will be OPEN on Labor Day!

And no, I am not Mr. Crabs, this was the staff’s idea. Dirt will be opening the doors at noon as always and trivia is at 6pm as usual. They have even hired a band to play at 3pm.

The weather is forecast to be in the seventies. Well 79 degrees to be exact but it sure beats 92 degrees. Again, I had nothing to do with this either. God oversees the big thermostat.

As Adam said to Eve, “Stand back lady, I don’t know how big this thing is going to get”

We have done some growing since our first one keg at a time brewery. We are still only available on the Outer Banks, we still put a pint in front of Pop’s seat every day at the pub, and we are still having fun.

Have you heard about the “B**r Mile”? The “B**r Mile” is where participants run one mile and drink a b**r every quarter mile. Too easy.

I want to do the “B**r Mountain” twelve peaks in two days, a b**r on each peak. The peaks must be Irish, and the b**r must be Lost Colony Ale. My game, my rules. I will do the first one this week.

I’m thinking that maybe membership in the Lost Colony Brewery Mug club is too easy. Perhaps doing the "B**r Mountain" be a requirement.
Then again, we could all get matching tattoos. No, I am “tat free since ’63”, I will keep it that way.

Lost colony Brewery Mug Club, no rules, no requirements, just laughs.

Max is celebrating one whole year as the Bew Dog.
“What does a Brew Dog do?” you ask.

Well, looking cute is number one. Have you seen the brewers? It is a rag tag motley crew. We need all the cuteness we can get.

He is the official greeter at the pub. No lap is too small no stool is too high.

He is the Brew Chew dog biscuit spokesman.

Pizza crust recycling at the Pub is one job he is serious about. Max is a true environmentalist.

Tree frog wrangling at the brewery is his biggest responsibilities. He is why our b**r is “Frog Free” and ok for vegans. (so far).

Cheers to Max making us a cuter, friendlier pub serving “Frog-Free” b**r.

Trivia tonight.
“I Touch My Elf” the Toys for Tots Christmas ale is available now.

We have had a summer filled with dolphins just yards from our deck.
Dirt and his boy Finn went for a dip and were surprised to find one swim by a few times to check THEM out. That boy is having a magical childhood! (I am of course referring to Dirt and his extended childhood)

Well, I’ve always said we were a locals’ hangout.

Now, I can guarantee you great b**r, wonderful views, and the best bartenders all with Benny’s Pizza delivering delicious slices to your table. I cannot claim you will see dolphins every time. They work their own schedule. Meanwhile you can look for our other visitors, minks, otters, geese, ducks, crabs and of course Charlie and Uncle Ray.

Just a little reminder, we are not just b**r. We have soda too.

Finn McCool Root B**r and Harper’s Orange Dreamsicle have kept us very busy this summer as well.

It is not just us selling my grandkids’ pop, Garden Deli and Pizzeria, Carolina BBQ, NouVnes and The Lost Colony Tavern, all carry them. Geno over at the Tavern even has specialty cocktails featuring them.
