Well, here's something you won't see every day... kind words from me about a lager. But the pick o' the week in beer is Thomas Creek Doppelbock. They're a small microbrewer from Greenville, SC. Not that far away but the doppelbock is the first one of their beers I've seen locally. Good stuff. Hasn't converted me from ales but it does remind me, a bit, of Celebrator Doppelbock (aka, the one with the goat) which was one of the first imports I got into from the beer section of the late, lamented Fowler's when I moved to Durham the first time way back in 89.
