World Beer Festival--Raleigh

[Walker]

NB is supposed to start coming east of the Mississippi in 2007, and be in full force with distribution in 2008.

Both Asheville Brewing Co and Highland Brewing Co make excellent beverages IMO. I imagine there will be a lot more than that there...there were over a hundred in the brochure.

 

[BootYtRappeR]

ssweeeeeeet.. Highland is going to be there.

Highland's Cold Mountain Winter Ale is probably one of the BEST beer's I've ever had!



Cold Mountain Winter Ale

Our ever-changing spiced winter seasonal. A tasty brew that complements all your holiday festivities. It is typically malty in body, lightly hopped, and rounded out with spices that we vary from year to year.

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

I've been digging their Tasgall Ale...very malty, ~8%. The Oatmeal Porter hits the spot, too.

 

[Walker]

The Oatmeal Porter hits the spot, too.

Indeed it does.

I also am a big fan of the Kashmir IPA and their staple Gaelic Ale.

I have not tried their Mocha Stout yet, but maybe I'll get the chance at the festival.

bootytrapper... are you attending this festival, too?

So what's your excuse going to be for the Hickory and Asheville festivals??

 

[Glibbidy]

That is a very nice line up ya'll should have a falling down good time. I see Cabot Cheese is also there. If you like cheese try there hunters sharp or extra sharp. They are both excellent products.

sh|t sh|t sh|t...I forgot about those!

well, at least i can go to this one

 

[Kaiser]

Well, guys.

Since my wife is pretty sick from being pregnant, I don't want to leave her alone for a weekenend and I won't be going a climbing trip the last April weekend.

So I'm able to join you for the Beer Festival in Raleigh. Do you think they still have tickets?

Not sure I read this correctly the first time, but I'm sure they have tickets

 

[Kaiser]

Guys,

Which session do you plan to attend? Was it the afternoon session?

Kai

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

My ticket is 12-4pm. I'm afraid the evening session will devolve into a frat party.

 

[BeerLuvnGrl]

well pretty sure that we are going as well.. looks like the 12-4 session for us too.. it would be really neat to meet up with some other home brewers..

needless to say.. i will NOT be one of those gals shopping.. i will be drinkin beer!

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

I'll be the handsome stud with two or three other guys, probably wearing Boston Red Sox hats.

 

[BeerLuvnGrl]

well if people are going to be meeting up we need to decide maybe a brewer and a time and we can meet...

 

[Walker]

I'll be the slightly better looking one.

DUDE:are you going to make it down?

Not lookng good, but I'm holding out some hope. Not canxing the reservation yet, just in case.

 

[Walker]

Our LHBS in Raleigh (American Brewmaster) is going to have a booth or table set up here and they are giving away a kegerator. (There are no details in the email I got to say how the recipient is decided, but I'm guessing it's a raffle or something like that.)

:rockin:

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

Walker goes to CA for a week and becomes a ninja?

 

[Walker]

Yup... There is an intensive traning course in the Santa Cruz mountains followed by a dissertation of sorts where you have to go to Las Vegas and carry out a hit on a casino pit-boss without being caught on one of the gazillion cameras.

The LV bit explains the purple ninja suit as opposed to the more traditional black. :fro:

 

[Chairman Cheyco]

His suit needs more sequins.

 

[Baron von BeeGee]

LMAO! .
