Outer Banks Brewing Station
During my trip to the Outer Banks, I stumbled upon the Outer Banks Brewing Station in Kill Devil Hills. I decided to drop in for dinner on Tuesday evening to see what their offerings included. As I browsed the dinner menu, I noticed Shrimp and Grits, and that's one of my low-country favorites, so I gave it a try. It was simply the best Shrimp and Grits I had ever tasted. The grits were REAL grits instead of the instant or quick-cook varieties. It was topped with pan-seared shrimp, green onions, and red-eye gravy. The meal was definitely 4 or 5-star in quality, which isn't something I expected.
I didn't get to sample all of their beers, so I decided to settle for a single glass of Weisenheimer Weizenbock after my meal. This beer was very similar to the Olde Hickory Brewery's Weizen Bock that I tried a while back, but the alcohol content of this brew was a little higher at 8.3%. I asked the bartender what else in the area was worth visiting before I left, and he pointed me towards a dive called "Howard's Pub" on Ocracoke Island. I stopped by there on Wednesday, and I'll post about it later...
