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.

The first time I ever had it was in a bar in Detroit, they called it a "Velvet Hammer" because, well, it goes down oh so smoothly but then kapow, your hammered

I love a good black and tan when it is poured correctly.

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:

Sweet Baby Jesus is pretty damn good. It's a chocolate, peanut butter porter by DuClaw Brewing of Baltimore.

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.

cinnamongrrl · 01-09-2015, 09:21 PM

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
