Tell Me About Beer Events
This half of Bruisin’ Ales is back and relaxed from vacationing on the lake with Mary and D-Fly. It was the first trip back to Bama since we opened the store, and whew, it’s hot there in August! We nearly forgot, living up here in our dryer, higher climate. Alabama is a lovely state, though. It gets a bad rap. (And bad beer, but you can help.)
Friday with the Tourists
So, this week is Beer 101: Beer Basics at the ballpark with the Asheville Tourists. Tickets are still available at Bruisin’ Ales or McCormick Field. Event is pre-game, starting at 5:30, through the second or third inning (depending). Full details here. Your ticket includes hors d’ouvres and entry to the game. Great beer line-up! And MALT will be demonstrating how to brew, if you’re curious about that.
Fundraising
We still need another $440 in our pledge to Bruisin’ Ales charity, Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway on Facebook. Will you help and join the cause? The goal is $500 by August 31.
A happy ending?
While this is old news during the hiatus, the Pisgah Pale Ale name “problem” seems to be fixed with the introduction of Old School Pale Ale at Asheville Pizza & Brewing. Seriously, we’re so glad that’s over. If it is, anyway.
