Brewgrass approaches!

Asheville’s premier craft beer festival, Brewgrass, is tomorrow. Hurrah!

I wrote an article about Brewgrass for MtX here. It was such fun to write. I found that I have an affinity for, well, geeky-cute young brewers (see above).

If you don’t already have tickets, don’t even bother showing up. The party sold out two weeks ago, and you can beg and you can moan, but you won’t get in! If you don’t have tickets, do still read my article, because most of it consists of a mini-guide to Western North Carolina’s seven microbreweries.

I’m hydrating hard tonight in preparation for the big day. Asheville Beer Blog mentioned a featured beer from last year called Sexual Chocolate. I don’t remember tasting that one, and even tipsy, I can’t imagine forgetting the marriage of two of my favorite flavors.

So, I’ll be there in my Beer Goddess T-shirt, shooting pics with my paparazzi lens, and camping out near the Sexual Chocolate. Say hi if you see me!

    I’m glad you are coming out to Brewgrass and I will be on the lookout for you. To clarify, the Sexual Chocolate was not at Brewgrass last year but was a special release that was on tap at Barleys for a while. It was actually released this year in February, a faux pas on my part. I hope you like it. I’ll be wearing a 4 pocket red cuban shirt, my official party shirt.

    I forgot to mention, excellent write up on the local breweries.

    This will be my first Brewgrass and I’m way giddy. See you there!

    PS: Thanks for the comment about the Dollywood photos. When you decide to take the fam, I’ll give you the when-to-go and what-to-do scoop.

    Thanks, KT! I wanted WNC Pubcrawler to help me with the microbrew guide as he knows way more than I do about the subject, but he’s too busy with his new job.

    See y’all there!

    I didn’t buy a ticket - and they sold out. :(

    So I’m having a min-brewgrass festival with some friends in downtown Asheville at my office.

    Have a good time at the real thing.

    A brew festival? Do you live in the greatest place on earth? I swear, I’m buying tickets to that next year.

    P.S. Mr. Brewer IS cute.

    Thanks, Aunt Sally! There are more up today!

    Next year Riley, come on across the country.

    I somehow saw a lot of friends, but didn’t see either Jer or Kilgore.
