Today we're writing about a good beer that is brewed essentially down the street from us in Moorseville, NC (we're in Charlotte). Brewed by the Carolina Beer Company, Endo is a hoppy I.P.A. with a slightly more bitter then usual aftertaste. This unfortunately was not my favorite I.P.A. due to the aftertaste and flatter-then-normal-flavor, but a good brew none the less. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10 as far as taste goes but 10 out of 10 for the name. Endo, a mountain biking term, refers to when a rider goes over the handle bars. Notice the stylish helmet atop the Cottonwood King's head on the label. I don't know why they named it this I guess it is supposed to have "over the top" hoppiness—but we didn't think so. That's all for the Endo. Our next beer posting will definitely be a better brew but that's the way experimental beer drinking goes—some great, some good, some not so good. Cheers!

Fair beer... But you sure photographed it well
I'd LOVE to know why I can't find this in east charlotte, NC ...harris teeter and Lowes carry a case each on shelves which have NOT been restocked (8 stores I keep sold out of the ENDO) in TWO WEEKS
Maybe you're meant to drink it after experiencing an endo, to get the full taste. Did you try this?
@Conor- haha! We did not try that but I totally think we should! Although I have a fear of flying over handlebars. . Hmmm - maybe Michael will be up for it :)
@phil - I have no idea bout your dilemma - are you a manager of brews? I'll shoot the co. an email to ask for ya! Of course, I am sure I'm very low on their priority list, so doubt I'll get a response.. We got it in south charlotte - well towards southpark, so not that far south..
