The Flying Saucer Ring of Honor

The Flying Saucer Draught Emporium has a neat customer loyalty program. Show up enough times and drink enough different brews and your name goes on the wall.

Tonight was my night at the Charlotte location. With a good number of family members along for the ride and the Charlotte Beer Club added in for good measure, my plate was unveiled. I started the journey back in December of 2003, long before moving to Charlotte. It required about 70 trips (they have a three beer per visit limit), mostly during the last three years since I moved to the area. I pulled the list of beers and was amazed by the range and the story it told about some of my favorite breweries. You can check them out below.

If you have a chance to stop at one of the 13 Flying Saucer locations, take a look at some of the sayings on the plates. You'll get a laugh or two. I also think you will find the staff at each location knows its beer. That's something we should expect more often, but sadly often don't find when we visit a local tavern. The Flying Saucer sets the standard in this key category.
