Kilted Beer Tasting

[Highlander31]

Sounds like a great evening.

You missed a great opportunity to plug your friends brewery to us beer geeks..what's the name?

[BassClefB]

Aye... I go away for a day or three and I miss everything! Yes... I neglected to mention the name of the brewery... Craggie Brewing in Asheville, NC. BUT, I have to plug my favorite brewery overall, the French Broad Brewing Company. Check 'em out!

For a good beer/ale, try the Midas Touch Golden Elixir at Dogfish Head Brewery in Delaware. It is made from a recipe derived from actual beer residue from King Midas' tomb, and is the oldest known fermented beverage in the world. Excellent!

Geez, Bryan! My wife and I went to the Craggie tasting last week, too. One of the owners is a former student of mine. We got there about 5:30 and only stayed long enough for a couple of beers before having to head off to our next engagement. Sorry we missed you.

I didn't have time to change that evening, so you were the only kiltie in attendance, I suppose. And you're right...there were a goodly number of attractive ladies there.

I wore my Carolina box-pleat the last time I was at one of their events. Their beers are great. What a shame that they have to give them away!

Nelson! You gotta come up for one of the Craggie events. I'll get some dates to you asap.

Jonathan, the head brewer and I am assuming co-owner, is a friend of mine through some bandmates in one of my projects, Brushfire Stankgrass. We're actually playing a party/benefit concert this coming Thursday in Swannanoa at the Pisgah Brewing Co. PM me for directions/details if you're interested.

I agree with you on the giveaway part... Jonathan is already setting up distribution deals with local pubs and such to get his beers out there and start making a profit. He'll do it for sure... he makes a great, unique variety!

Stay in touch... we'll have to meet and organize an Asheville-area kilt night sometime... Jack Of The Wood seems like a prime location!

Cheers...
