WILK Friday BeerBuzz–20 Jan 2012 Foothills Brewing Sexual Chocolate w/Jamie Bartholomaus

1/20/2012 09:53:00 AM , , ,

WILKFridayBeerbuzz3We welcome all sorts of guests onto the Friday BeerBuzz…and all have one thing in common…a passion for craft beer…and whether they are CEO’s or master brewers, they all share that passion with our listeners.  Whether it is a large brewery or a small brewery, the passion is always the same….and we love tapping into it.

Today we talked to Jamie Bartholomaus, President & Brewmaster for Foothills Brewing Co in Winston-Salem, NC.  Foothills Brewing is a relatively small brewery that brews 17 different seasonal and year-round beers, BUT only bottles two beers.  Of the two beers Jamie and the crew bottle, one generates more excitement when the bottles are released…and while Foothills Brewing beers are not distributed very far outside the greater Winston-Salem area, their impact is felt all the way into Northeastern PA.

We started talking to Jamie back in December, and he was nice enough to join us on the Friday BeerBuzz during the most hectic month of the year at Foothills.  Every year, Jamie releases a special Imperial Stout that people travel from all over the US to get their hands on.  That beer is Sexual Chocolate and the release date is 1/27…NEXT Friday.

This beer is big in a lot of ways.  Big in ABV, big in body, big in flavor and big in excitement.  One of the most traded and sought after beers, Sexual Chocolate is a beer that every beer lover covets, every craft beer enthusiast chases and for those lucky enough to sample it…it’s a brew you’ll never forget.

It was a blast talking to Jamie and sampling with him today, and I can only hope that Jamie’s appearance is just the beginning of Foothills transition into wider distribution, and wider recognition.  A special thank you to Jamie for spending the time with us today during the busiest week of the year for Foothills.  We appreciate the company and we especially appreciate the opportunity to sample Foothills Sexual Chocolate with you.

Thanks

to Jamie Bartholomaus from Foothills Brewing, Nancy, John, & Joe for yet another fun Friday.

The Friday BeerBuzz…bringing good beers and good people together.

    I tune into every show, and even though I know I can;t easily get this beer, I think it's great that you feature the small brewers. I'll bet Jamie works very hard so I think it was a great interview and I'll bet the beer is amazing. Eric

    I've heard the legend of this beer. Am I correct that you can't get it up here in NEPA?

    Correct JT. This is a brewery-only release and the bottles sell out in a day. Very hard to get....but well worth the effort. It's a great beer.

    Jamie is the hardest working brewery I know. He deserves the acclaim so it was fantastic to hear today. I'm also in Winston-Salem so I tuned in on-line. I'll have to listen more and keep featuring great North Carolina brewers. Scott

    What an honor to have Jamie on the air with us. Thank you Bill from mybeerbuzz.com . He's the man that makes all these amazing guests happen.

    This is a phenomenal beer. I really LOVE it. This is worth the drive to Foothills to get it yourself.

    Thank you Jamie, for sending the beer and coming on the air with us. Thank you buzzers, for your love of beer and passion for the show.

    Thanks Nancy...this was a banner show for sure. Not only was Jamie Bartholomaus a great guest, but his Sexual Chocolate was fantastic. I agree that it's well worth the drive to get. Today was a long distance "bringing good beers and good people together"...but well worth it.
