Ah, summertime and baseball. We’re hosting three special pre-game events at McCormick Field throughout the summer months to support our Asheville Tourists. All prices include admission to that night’s game.
Each will be added to the calendar as further details are planned, but here’s the skinny:
June 27—$25/pp
Pop the Cap: A Celebration of NC Craft Beer
Sean Wilson, President of Pop The Cap, joins us for this pre-game event celebrating North Carolina’s craft brews from the coast to the mountains. A selection of beer samples from around the state (and around the corner) will be sampled. Hors d’ouvres included.
Aug 15—$25/pp
Beer 101: Beer Basics
Beers from around the world! Hors d’ouvres included.
Hop-Aroma: Learn about varieties of the magic flower of beer.
The Pint at Hand: Learn how to choose proper glassware for beer styles.
MALT Showcase: Experience the process of brewing beer.
Aug 29—$50/pp
Dinner at the Ballpark: Ommegang
Cooperstown isn’t just home to the Baseball Hall of Fame, it’s home to Brewery Ommegang. This casual pre-game dinner will feature five courses of “upscale” ballpark food. Includes a FREE Ommegang ballcap!
*Purchase all three events together for $85/pp and save $15.*
Joe Lasher of Gamedinner.com is hosting the “Big Game & Beer Tasting” at The Crest Center on January 24. Now that is a beer dinner menu. It’s enough food for a week. At least. The dinner will be paired with Highland Brewing Co. beers, including Cold Mountain. What’s even cooler? All net proceeds from the dinner go to the non-profit, Farmers & Hunters Feeding The Hungry. The bonus for you, dear reader, is that you get a discount if you attend just from knowing about our little bloggy over here. Joe writes:
I will offer a 25% discount to your patrons. That would make the tix $75 inclusive instead of $100. All they should do is email me their intent to attend and that you referred them. Thanks so much!
So, there you go! Only three tables are left and seating is limited. Write to joe@gamedinner.com and tell him Bruisin’ Ales sent you.

So, come on by the brewery the Sunday after Brewgrass, http://www.brewgrassfestival.com. Meet our staff, take a tour, buy a t-shirt, and buy a beer or three. There is no limit this year on how much you can buy. Beer sale is 12–4p.m. Sunday. See you in line!
How could there be no limit? What if we were to get in line first and then offer to buy it all?
