Beer 223 - Carolina Beer Co Low Down Brown Ale (2 stars out of 5)

Carolina Beer Company, Wilkes-Barre, PA.  Bottled in Wilkes-Barre.  Bought by Rigo on his last trip to a very snowy east coast and drunk at home in Katy, TX after dinner.

The web site: http://www.carolinabeer.com/Carolina_Beer/Home/?load explains that Carolina Beer Company has sold it's brands to Foothills Brewing - also based in North Carolina - and Foothills Brewing will continue to produce all brands currently offered by Carolina Beer Company.  Carolina Beer and Beverage will concentrate on bottling soft drinks and energy drinks, a business that has grown exponentially faster than the craft beer business.

This was OK, but not not a beer I would come back to.  There was a dullness and flatness to the taste that couldn't be enlivened by the fizz.  Perhaps Foothills can make a better tasting beer.
