Leaderboard Lager and Ram's Head IPA review
Submitted by Greg Barbera

Leaderboard Lager

If you own a brewery and have trouble finding canned beer, then do it yourself!

Greg Barbera, Beer Delegate for North Carolina.Scott Maitland, proprietor of Chapel Hill, North Carolina's Top Of The Hill Restaurant and Brewery, is an avid golfer.

But when he realized that he couldn't get anything but domestic swill on the back nine, he took matters into his own hands.

It seems there's a law that beer may only be served in cans on the golf course, which meant Maitland couldn't get a decent microbrew or import beer, because they are served in glass bottles.

Fortunately for Maitland, he's in the business of making beer. So the crafty bugger decided to can beer from his own brewery for consumption on the course. Ah, it's good to be king ain't it?

Ram's Head IPA is one of the two beers canned by golf enthusiast and brewery owner, Scott Maitland.Two beers from the brewery's taps are now available in cans: Leaderboard Lager and Ram's Head IPA (also known as Davie Poplar IPA at the brewpub).

They are sold locally for a modest fee ($6.99) and taste as fresh as daisies!

But like most fresh beer, sometimes it can be a crap shoot. I've had some pretty tasty sixers and I've had some skunky ones. But you take what you can get when it comes to getting canned, eh?

I'm partial to the malty IPA, but I have a friend who swears by the Leaderboard Lager. Then again, golfers are a superstitious bunch.
