Thanks to EVERYONE who came out for the wacky Beer & Cookie tasting yesterday. It was definitely a elbow-rubber—huge success—and we’re going to do it again as the Fall seasonals arrive when Jamie makes her incredible pumpkin cookies!

The Thirsty Monk website is up
Thirsty Monk/Pinthouse has a website on Google now with downloadable lists of the beer available. Now that’s handy, isn’t it?

Pisgah makes soda
A cream soda by Pisgah Brewing is available at the Mellow Mushroom. Creamy. Yummy. Look for some new brews from them in the upcoming weeks, too.

Wedge to make beer for Marco’s Pizza
The Wedge is just cranking out the beer down in the River Arts District. Beer spies tell us that they are private-labeling a pilsner just for Marco’s Pizza. We love that idea.

Brewgrass Festival sells-out (again)
Sorry, folks, but tickets to Asheville’s Brewgrass Festival have sold-out. Many of you have been writing us in desperation, but we do not have any tickets available. They are long gone. You can chance a trip and hope to get one at the gate from a seller or try Asheville Craigslist. Currently there are more “wants” than sellers, but you never know.
