Don’t pass out because I’m posting twice in one morning. By the end of the day, I’ll probably link to my Mountain Xpress column as well, making it a record-breaking bloggie day.
Anyway, I became enamored of a new beer this past weekend: SweetWater’s Hummer.
The naughtily-named beer out of Atlanta’s premier microbrewery is a white ale laced with coriander and orange peel. It’s not one of those overly sweet ales, however. The beer has a fizzy spice to it that cuts the sugar.
The Hummer’s a tasty spring and summer beer. At 5.1 percent alcohol, the Hummer gets an EM two per session rating.
As the label touts: “Everybody loves a hummer!”

OMW! That last line had me laughing so hard.
I just realized that you should definitely be a beer critic. Fun post. The site keeps looking better. Thanks for stopping by PN this morning, sometimes I get so busy I forget about my blog favorites such as EM!
Eddo is right. You should be a beer critic.
Since Asheville already has an established beer critic in the person of Tony Kiss, a dramatic Drink Off would be necessary.
You, Tony, stage, spotlights.
You could do it at Bele Chere.
Whoever has partied the most with Hunter Thompson likely will win.

Hey there! I’ve been reading your blog sporatically for… years I think - I love it. Now I’m writing a blog (http://carolinamornings.blogspot.com) and have added edgy mama to my blogroll. Let me know if you are interested in linking back to me. Thanks a bunch and happy writing!
You guys are sweet, but I don’t think I want to compete with Tony. He’s a lot bigger than I am–and he knows a lot more about beer!
Does partying in the vicinity of Hunter count as partying with him?
Hi Keri,
Congrats on starting a bloggie! I’ll check it out. I typically don’t link to others unless I’m an avid fan or they’re friends (yes, I actually personally know 99% of the folks on my blogroll). So if I start reading you, I’ll eventually add you. Thanks for understanding. Otherwise, the blogroll gets out of control!
