Beer City Festival – Asheville, NC
Can’t wait for the Beer City Festival tomorrow! I was supposed to play a show with my band later tomorrow evening, but it got cancelled. This is a good thing, as I can now drink a lot more beer!
I think there are still a few tickets available at Barley’s or at the gates at the time of this writing, but I imagine it’ll sell out. The Brewgrass Festival, of course, sold out quicker than the Tom Waits show a few years back. Unfortunately I didn’t buy tickets in time for that Brewgrass, but I’m hoping to find some locally before September. I did make it to that Tom Waits show, though, and yes it was awesome!
We should have a pretty good selection of brews at Beer City, most likely lots of the local breweries. I’d imagine we’ll see a few other breweries representing from South Carolina, Georgia, and maybe a few other nearby states. Good music and good beer, gonna be a great Saturday.
And before I show up, I’ll be bottling a batch of my first attempt at a Black Wheat Ale. It’s looking pretty good. Should drink like a light wheat but have some the toasty flavor of dark malt and some dark grains. MMM!
