I have been loving Lagunitas IPA on tap for the whole second half of the summer into now. I can't get enough of it! Perfect balance.

cinnamongrrl · 10-20-2014, 06:00 PM

I'm sooo craving a Pisgah ale...they had it on tap where I got take out tonight. I considered getting one while I waited but I'm not always sure if I will get tipsy...and I had to drive home. But the hankerin is reallll bad now. Asheville made a beer lover of me....

I've had a fresh hop pale ale from Great Divide out here. It was good, nothing spectacular...fresh/wet hops tend to be a little lighter & citrusy. However, tis the hop season and it's definitely a seasonal brew so you'll probably find some around. I prefer hops that sorta punch you in the face, I tend to prefer dry hopping and even dry hopping at the table. I feel like such a fiend.

I hadn't ever heard of wet hops before, so I did some reading after Collette posted. Evidently, there is a difference between wet and fresh hops. Wet are to be used within 24 of harvesting while fresh is within 7 days.

Interesting stuff!

For those that don't know anything about it:

I can't WAIT to start going to bluegrass concerts again. That's the occasion I chose to try the local Asheville beers. There is such an amazing assortment, I had only just begun to explore.

When I worked at the country club, there was a very elderly man that would come in from golfing every day at 10am and get a Highland Gaelic Ale... http://www.highlandbrewing.com/ One day, he came in and the tap was not working and the bartender had to fix it and offered him something else instead. He preferred to put his golf game on hold and wait for the tap to be fixed, he loved this beer that much lol.

I think that will be one of the first ones I try..plus...I love the name!

If any of y'all are ever in Asheville, I would be happy to join you for this!

I would definitely try their Black Mocha Stout. Typically, a lower ABV Stout (like Guinness), doesn't have a solid, or heavy enough taste to me, but recently I had a stout on tap that was low in abv, but heavy in taste. Of course, I don't remember the name. I am wondering if things are moving in this direction with stouts. I LOVE a heavy stout, but the high abv keeps me from having as many as I would like. I am not so keen on the high calories (250-300), either! I admit Russian Imperials are my fav.

My local store lets u buy a six pack of singles....so I got a varied assortment of Highland brewery....angry orchards....a west coast inspired Ipa from Sam Adams and mostly local stuff

Daniela · 01-10-2015, 04:28 AM

...I don't like beer...

I love Angry Orchards cider

cinnamongrrl · 01-24-2015, 06:44 AM

I am just loving everything I've tried from Asheville's own Highland Brewery...

Their Gaelic ale is especiallyyy good. I think I see a brewery tour in my future lol

JDeere · 01-25-2015, 02:10 PM

I tried a new beer called Weisse Versa Wheat, it isa German/Belgian hybrid brewed with coriander and citrus peel.

I really like it,

Blaze · 01-25-2015, 03:49 PM

Just tried a Brody microbrewery made by my neighbor. . Not bad. I must say. . Dark, bitter, and awesome.. with lime salt

C0LLETTE · 01-25-2015, 04:26 PM

When you're really thirsty on a very hot summer's day, nothing beats a 12 pack of Coors Lite... tastes like bottled water and probably has less alcohol...plus you get your deposit back on the bottle.

cinnamongrrl · 02-24-2015, 03:59 PM

Today I treated myself to a six pack of Highland Brewery's seasonal Devil's Britches red India pale ale...

Never had it, but I love everything else they make...

Whilest at the store I saw a 12 pack of assorted Highland goodies....but alas, Devil's Britches was not amongst them. And I really wanted to try it....yes
..mostly because of the name...
