Who’s up for a road trip?

A few photos from the fast and furious trip to Chicago, including Goose Island Clybourn, Revolution Brewing, Piece Chicago, and Goose Island Fulton.

There’s a new meet-up group in town! Welcome, Asheville Beer Divas—”…a club for women who have a passion for beer and would like to meet up with other like minded women to socialize about beer.” This new happy-hour group will meet on the second Wednesday of each month for some brews and informal chatter about beer.

The first get-together is on Wednesday, December 8, 5:30 p.m. at Barley’s Taproom.

There is also a Facebook Page, so please go and give it a “like.” Follow on Twitter at @avlbeerdivas.

This year, Bruisin’ Ales once again was voted #1 Beer Store in the Mountain XPress special editions “Best of WNC.” In addition, you all seemed to like our tweets on Twitter enough for another #1 for “Best Twitterer.” (Well, my tweets, since Jason doesn’t tweet, and further, calls me the “in-store nerd.”) We’re excited and happy and bursting with joy. We’re grateful. The truth is, if you didn’t drink all this awesome beer, we wouldn’t even be in business, so this award belongs to you as much as it does to us. Let’s share it and crack open a frothy beverage. We know that Asheville is the place to be and if we could, we would vote all of you #1, too.
