We continued our brew-tour by heading down the street to NoDa Brewing Company. Located in the happening area that's also home to Amelie's, NoDa opened in 2011. They opened just a few months before Birdsong in the building next door. NoDa's taproom is fairly small, they might be due for a nice upgrade sometime in the near future as they're always crowded when I'm there.
NoDa's backbone is in their experimentation with IPAs and pale ales. Hop, Drop, N Roll, an American-style IPA, is perhaps their flagship, as it won a 2014 World Beer Cup award. Among their other notables are Woody and Wilcox, named for local radio personalities, Jam Session Pale Ale, and Coco Loco coconut porter.
NoDa does small batch releases, calling their NoDables, and releasing them on Tuesdays. When we were there, they were getting ready to debut their Cucumber Watermelon Blonde Ale. This week's release is Charity Tuesday Green Tea Ale.
I would be completely remiss if I were to talk about NoDa Brewing without mentioning their delicious Gordgeous pumpkin ale. I am a fan of pumpkin beers, when the weather is appropriate, and NoDa's is absolutely the best in town!
NoDa's website has fantastic info like where to find their beers, what food trucks will be there on a given night, and what the week's NoDable release will be.
