Great article in the Citizen-Times about the craft beer industry here in AVL.
“The question is often asked — can Asheville support so many craft breweries? Is this just a fad that is sure to fade?”
I say, not by a long shot.
Beer is big business in Western North Carolina
This is a great list, but I think its missing a couple AVL aphrodisiacs…
Firstly, Oyster House Moonstone Oyster Stout. Full of the Aphrodite holding aphrodisiac oyster.
Sexual Chocolate is there, and you can find it here, but we can find something closer.
My recommendation, Burial Esprit Sauvage Saison Imperial. In my opinion this is the best AVL brewery and this is one of their best brews. I’ve already done a tasting on it but I can’t stop buying bottles. Really good stuff.
This is a really good topic for discussion. I’m sure we all have stories of driving long distances and waiting crazy amounts of time but I bet there are some better stories out there.
Looks like we’re going back in time. Just be glad Hammurabi doesn’t make the laws anymore!
HOLLY SPRINGS: Pintful: Bombshell Beer defies craft beer stereotypes
Doesn’t look like we’ll be getting beer delivered to our door by drones anytime soon. Even though these folks got champagne. And in South Africa you can get beer delivered by drones at concerts.
This article is just ridiculous. “Beyond-bourbon barrel”(sic)..? You think schochu or whatever it’s called is beyond bourbon barrels?! I’ll tell you what’s beyond bourbon barrels…
And I can’t find anything about this but wouldn’t it be sweet if there were some casks made out of some specific set of hard minerals? Like, I’m making a stout and want some more of whatever the fuck it is to give it body and so I age it with some bourbon barrel chips in this stone cask.
Whaddaya think?
This is kind of a big deal. I didn’t want to add to the already too hype hype.
But, let’s not get too worked up.
