Wilmington a Top Ten Beer City

everyone knows about Asheville but quietly little Wilmington NC has developed a great Brew Scene.  A friend of mine owns Port City Brew Bus and takes groups on tours to the breweries in ILM with some behind scenes info and, of course, tasting!  Recently our little retail company hired the brew bus for our Christmas office party and I got the chance to speak with these brewery owners.  Really impressive that they are now getting national recognition!

Side story, when the bus came downtown to pick us up at our hotel the driver clipped a Lexus bumper and ripped it off, so we were delayed until paperwork was complete.  Here is a pic I posted on facebook with the comment,

"The bad news is our company Christmas party brewery tour is delayed because our bus hit a parked car. 
The good news is it belongs to a Green Bay Packers fan"

Here is a short quote from the story, 

7. Wilmington, North Carolina

Wilmington recently welcomed its newest microbrewery to town, with Waterline Brewing Company joining established breweries like Flytrap Brewery and Front Street Brewery. Together, those beer makers rate as some of the best in the U.S. (according to Yelp users). The average Yelp score for Wilmington breweries is 4.44 stars, one the highest scores of the 296 cities that SmartAsset researched.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
