Back again for our 4th installment, this time highlighting a great game from the FCS’ Southern Conference. The Chattanooga Mocs (I guess they’re not the Moccasins anymore?) jumped out to a quick 17-0 lead and held on for dear life, escaping with a 27-20 conference win over the Samford Bulldogs.
That win means we head just across the border into Tennessee for this week’s Tuesday Brewsday feature. OddStory Brewing Company is a relatively new brewery, begun by a man and his father who share a love of beer. They admittedly began this new venture with essentially no knowledge of how to brew beer … but they certainly have learned. Brewery school + internship at Harpoon + experimentation + a love for the craft = really good beer and in a very wide variety. They also have the intro to what sounds like a very cool story about the history of the city which led to the name of the brewery.
“Under the streets of Chattanooga lies the odd level of a city long ago claimed by the wild and untamed waters of the Tennessee River. Inspired by this mysterious piece of Chattanooga’s history, along with a love for the conversational aspect of beer drinking, OBC came to life and planted its roots on MLK Blvd.”
