What’s new at Bruisin’ and what’s a-coming…

Posted Sep 02, 2010 in Beer, Breweries, Limited Release, New this week, Rarerities, Seasonals

We’ve got a few weeks left until the true Fall Equinox, but that doesn’t count in the beer world. The fall seasonal releases are pouring in—and quickly—so fans of Oktoberfest/Marzen styles and pumpkin beers rejoice! This list is everything arriving this week. Some are already here, some still coming tomorrow. But since we’re having beer floats with The Hop Ice Cream tomorrow, I’d better post these now or it won’t get done and you’ll be unhappy with me. We can’t have that.

Other limited releases that you want to grab NOW: Dogfish Head Bitches Brew, Dogfish Head Saison du BUFF, Rogue “21″ Old Ale, Sierra Nevada “30″ Ken & Jack’s Black Barleywine, Bell’s The Oracle Double IPA, and Stillwater Cellar Door.

Friday Beer Floats with The Hop! Charity fundraiser for FRIENDS

Posted Aug 31, 2010 in Beer, Beer Pairings, Breweries, Coolness, Events, Goings on, Limited Release

This Friday, September 3, we’re pairing up with The Hop Ice Cream for more BEER FLOATS!

This week’s event is a benefit for our charity, FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway. FRIENDS of the Blue Ridge Parkway is a non-profit, volunteer organization that is dedicated to preserving and protecting the Blue Ridge Parkway, a national treasure. FRIENDS programs focus on preservation, protection and education. The monies we raise go directly to the Asheville Chapter, which is one of the most traveled (yet least funded) portions of the 469-mile scenic roadway.

$5.00/pp for three different beer floats!

If you can’t join us, please consider an online donation to FRIENDS.
